Beauty and the Beast

Chapter 5- Can We Talk Later?

**Skaylas POV**

Monday came way to fast but it's nice to have to smile at people. I hate Harry I hate him for doing this to me. He brought me back down.

No no Skyla your not going to you have a grandma that loves you and you have your best friend so no your not letting them pull you back. Your going to win this you are not letting him bring you down.

I walked to my locker dodging anyone who wanted to talk to me. I got my books and went to my class. My head went on the desk instantly just wanting to go back home and sleep all day.

I quietly listened to everyone shuffle in class and sit in their desired seat. Me I've always sat in this seat. Corner of the back of the class. It's been my seat since year 9 I hate the front and everyone knows that. Someone sits in the seat next to me and I cringe at the noise of them scooting it closer to me.

"Skyla are you ok?" God he just won't leave me alone. I turn my head the opposite way staring at the boring posters on the wall right by me.

"I have your shoes in my locker if you want them back" Harry's voice is so soothing I just want to listen to it forever. No. He sighed possibly giving up and when the teacher started his lesson I didn't even bother sitting up. I take notes of what I hear I stop when a note gets tossed in front of me landing right in front of my face. I slowly open it up trying not to make any sound.

'Can we talk later?' I frown and sit up looking at Harry he looks at me seriously. I nod and put my head back down. I don't know what there is to talk about and I really don't care just so he gets off my back.

----------------------------

The school day goes by consisting if me ducking and dodging everyone even Sadie. I feel bad ignoring her but she kind of got the hint something is wrong and I need to be alone. I start walking down the steps of my school and almost fall when Harry pops In front of me.

"Shit Harry you scared me"

"Sorry love. Can we maybe talk now?" Oh I forgot about that. I smile at him and nod.

"Yeah sure. What do you want to talk about?" He looked around nervously and grabs my hand pulling me to his car.

"Not here" Umm ok? He literally puts me in the passenger seat probably not wanting me to decline. He jogs to the other side getting in. And driving to wherever.

"Where are we going?" I look at him but he's focused on the road.

"Somewhere private just a couple more seconds aaaaannnndddd there it is" I giggled at his high pitch tone in his voice. I looked out the window. We were at a park. But not just any park like a field with trees park I love these places. There was a river at the far end with ducks swimming. There were probably 2 young couples and an old lady. I got out of the car when he parked and smiled up at him when he came towards me. He smiled back at me. The smile he have me a couple days ago with dimples and everything. I don't know why but he just lifted my mood and made me happy again. We started walking and I couldn't take my eyes off my surroundings.

"So the talk?" Oh yeah we came here to talk.

"Yeah what were we gonna talk about? Because I couldn't really find anything in my mind of why you wanted to talk."

"Umm yeah cause it's mostly about umm I guess about" I smiled at how nervous he was.

"Go on" I pushed his words on.

"My feelings I guess?" I stopped walking and he turned around. My smile was gone I was frowning at him. Did he say feelings? About me? Is he joking? Emotions were rushing through my body I felt overwhelmed. He walked up to me grabbing my hands I couldn't pull away and I don't think I wanted too.

"C-can you elaborate more?" I didn't know why but I just needed more information. He towered over me he was so close I could feel his warmth.

"I can't really put it into words cause I don't even know what I'm feeling" He's making me more confused I was about to pull away until I felt him tug at me and his lips connected to mine instantly. My eyes closed and after a couple seconds I kissed him back. He pulled me closer if that was even possible but this kiss was indescribable. I felt a tiny spark but it wasn't huge and I felt instantly lifted like we were floating. We pulled away and I finally processed what just happened.

"Wh-what? what was that" he sighed. Walking away and started pacing and tugging at his hair.

"I don't know I just needed to show you how I felt. I know you don't feel the same I just needed to let it out. and oh god you probably hate me. I won't be mad if you do and-" I grabbed him and forces my lips on his. God it felt great he needs to not panic it was cute though. I pulled away.

"That was a perfect way to show me" He looked gobsmacked by my reaction.

"So. You feel the same way?" Do i? I didn't a couple minutes ago. I have mixed feelings. I need to think about this more.

"I need more time Harry"

"More time for what?" He was sad I could tell.

"You don't do you?"

"No I do but I just need to bring my emotions together cause I'm not sure"

"Oh I understand yeah. Do you want a ride home?" I shake my head. I want to stay here longer.

"Umm ok just uhh call me?" I nodded at him.

"I will Harry" He walked away and I started towards the river until I heard someone.

"Hey, young lady?" I turned to an old lady sitting on a bench. Has she been there the whole time?

"Uhh yes?"

"He really likes you"

"Who him?" I point to Harry who has his back towards us walking to his car. Dhe nods.

"You can see it. He really cares about you" I smile at the old lady.

"A boy looked at me like that once and I just blew him off whoosh" She made a hand movement as if pushing something away from her.

"And I regret it. If I would have stayed with him we would probably still be together"

"Where is he now?"

"Long gone. Skipped town when I said no" I smiled sadly at her.

"Young lady. Take my advise. You never know what you got until you lost it." I froze. those are the exact words my mother used to tell me.

"Thank you. I will let that sink in" She nodded and smiled.

"Have a nice day ma'm" I waves at her and she waved back. I decided to skip the lake and walk home.It's a whiles way and I can think about everything while walking there.

------------------

"You never know what you got before you lost it"
