Beyond (Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Chapter 5

CLOVERS POV

I felt his lips brush against mine, and as soon as I did, I pulled away. I didn't want Harry to kiss me. It was awfully sweet and all the fact that Harry was there to listen to me, and I could have even sworn I heard him sniffle. However, it doesn't mean that he's necessarily going to keep his promise to help me stay protected, safe, warm and hardest of all; happy.

He was the talented. The funny. The handsome. The 'sweet'. The so called perfect. He wasn't going to ruin his reputation just because a helpless blind girl got bullied at school. It just wasn't Harry. He wasn't the one to stand up, he wasn't the one not to laugh or talk shit, he was Harry Styles for goodness sake's. The low-life, cocky, ignorant, selfish, uncontrollable, popular, arrogant, hypocritical, annoying, rude, awful, Harry Styles. 

"I'm sorry." I said. I really was sorry though. I swear I was. He was the only one who stayed to listen to me talking. Who didn't just get up and leave me alone on the bench so I'd look psychotic, talking to myself, since I couldn't exactly see if someone walked away. He stayed, he listened and he promised to help out. I wasn't sure about the last part. But on the upside, this was the nicest someone's ever been to me, aside Ruby of course. And before my mother and father died. They loved me very much. I missed them with all my heart, but I was oh so grateful to have someone as warm-hearted as Ruby to take me in. I loved Ruby just as much as I loved my mom and dad. 

"No no Clover, I'm sorry. That's too fast." Harry said. Harry was acting so weird now. I didn't understand why, I mean he had to understand that I was always hurt, he's seen it before. 

HARRYS POV

I was acting so, I don't even know the word, I guess. . . nice? I didn't want to push Clover anymore, I felt bad doing it. I was going to date her, I was still very determined of that. But Clover was so strong, she may have  seemed weak, but I was surprised she wasn't dead by now. I mean I knew she tried to die before, and the thought of that just ripped every single one of my guts apart. But she was right here, right now, telling me this. She was strong enough to forgive me. She just brought out the sap in me. 

"Harry" she giggled softly. " I've never had my first kiss. No offence, seriously, you seem like um... a great guy. Well, at least right now at this very moment you seem like a great guy, but I'm just not ready to kiss you." Well. That got me mad. That was sort of rude. This fucking blind girl thinks she can just te-

Clover... not fucking blind girl, she was right. I had to stop being so sudden, so rude, so ignorant. She was beautiful. She made me think so hard about life. I wondered if she ever saw the good in anything.

"Clover..?" I asked quietly, wanting to find out more about this girl. 

"Hmm?" She hummed letting the softness of her voice dance. 

"I'm sorry you're not as lucky as you wish" 

"I'm lucky Harry. My eyes are normal, so they don't look different. I have an amazing aunt to look after me and keep me grounded. I have shelter to keep me safe and warm along with food to join it. I know how to hear at least and no one needs to try and look good around me because I cant see them. I have clothing to cover my body and a shower, soap shampoo and all the other things to keep me clean. Despite the fact that I can't see, there are pros to it. Although, not enough pros to beat the cons. But I know it could have been so much more worse. " Wow. That was amazing. I have never been able to see good in things. Not till maybe 3 years ago. Even now though, it's tough for me to recover from what I've seen, what I've heard and what I've been through. 

"Clove, if I can call you that-"

"Yeah. You can" She says showing her smile off to me. And despite the fact that she cant see my smile, I still smile back. Jeez. I was being a sap.
