Mr Styles: COMPLETED

Chapter 28

"Honey is something up? Your exams are over and you're acting very strange" mother frowns as she fixes her hair for church.

"I'm starting to lose faith in someone I love very much" I sigh and mother looks at me with a sympathetic frown. It was strange how I only had my mum to discuss my relationship problems but she didn't know the half of it.

"Well honey, no matter how much you love someone honesty is always the best policy, and if this person isn't being honest you should rethink whether this is someone you see yourself with in the long run" she rubs my shoulders and I smile. I loved Harry so much yet ever since that party he'd been so quiet and I hated this whole situation with the ring, I didn't have anyone to ask about it either.

"Thanks" I say and she raises her brow. "You haven't attended church in months, maybe it'll do you good to get back into that routine"

"I don't know, I don't want everyone looking at me, especially after that stuff with Reese, I don't need their fake sympathy" I shake my head and she chuckles.

"Ella you're going there for god not for the neighbours and as your mother I'm demanding you go" she pulls me up from the sofa, "go wear something nice"

I quickly return in a plain black dress and my knee socks, I've tied my hair hair into a half ponytail and I carry my purse.

We drove to the church in silence and I take in a deep breath as the car stops.

"By the way Anne will be joining us and we're going to a restaurant after" mother lets me know and I groan, I felt uncomfortable seeing Anne after she saw her son and I kissing. "Is that ok?" She asks me.

"Yh sure" I shrug and we walk into the church. The pastor is greeting everyone and they turn and I feel their eyes blazing over me, mother and I walk towards the pastor, I look down to avoid the judging eyes.

"Pastor john" mother smiles and he nods towards both of us. "Ella, it's nice to see you again, you haven't been for a while" he says with his heavy Scouse accent.

"I'm sorry pastor, I've had a lot going on"

"I heard about what happened and I prayed for you, everyone at the church was worried" he smiles at me.

"Pfft" I roll my eyes. "More like they wanted to interfere with my life"

"Ella!" Mother widens her eyes at me and I feel myself sink.

"I'm so sorry, it's just, I know what they're all thinking, they're looking at me and I can just tell"

"Well, I suggest you ignore them Ella for it will be their sin, the church is a place of humbleness and forgiveness and I suggest you focus on God" he pats my back before quickly walking back to the front and everyone starts the gather to their seats.

We sit somewhere towards the middle and once everyone's seated the door opens again and everyone turns their head around. "Anne!" Mother shouts over to her and I wanted to hide from embarrassment.

"Sorry pastor" Anne smiles over at him and he nods before starting the sermon.

"Today I want to talk abut the issue of love and it's importance" the pastor announces. How fucking nice.

I could feel Anne's eyes pierce on to me and they resembled Harry's so bad, I kept my eyes screwed on the pastor as I waited for time to speed by.

"That was very interesting" Anne turns over to mother and I, I remain silent.

"Mmhm, I think it's so important for the youth to remember that marriage is important and scared, and if it's going to happen there has to be a strong connection"
