When We Collide (Harry Styles)

Chapter 17

"Harry?" I shouted through the now silent house. I'd been asleep for a while I guess, because it was pitch black outside now. I walked through the house, shouting his name, but getting no reply. It was only when I looked through the small window in front of the stairs that I saw the alight orange embers that fell from the death stick in his mouth.

"I didn't think you'd be out here" I said to Harry as I leant against the door frame, just loud enough for him to hear.

"I didn't think you'd be awake," he bite back, taking a final drag from the cigarette before stomping on the remains.

I nodded before turning back around and walking in the house with Harry slowly following behind.

"I'm going to bed" I announced as I slowly made my way up the stairs.

"Wait," I turned around, "I was to take you to meet my friends tomorrow, okay?" His offer sounded more like a demand rather than a question, but I accepted anyway.

"Okay" I said with a short nod.

A small smile grew on his lips because he turned on his heel and walked towards the door, "Be ready at 11"

Once again I nodded to his muscular back before speaking, "Lock the door on your way out." 

I turned around and waited at the top of the stairs for the slam of the door and click of the lock, before going to bed.

"Are you sure they'll like me?" I asked panicked as my hands smoothed down the front of my maroon skater skirt, that I pared with a black blouse and short ankle boots. We pulled into the small diners car park before he answered.

"Yes, now stop worrying. You'll give yourself a headache," he said with a chuckle as he opened his door.

"Okay, but if it gets awkward, I'm leaving."

"But I think you're forgetting that I'm your ride, Jassy" Harry said with his signature smirk.

"Did you just call me Jassy?" I asked with a small laugh.

"Yes, yes I did" 

"Why?"

"I like it"

"Jassy" I repeated with a small smile, liking the way it sounded when he said it.

We walked into the small, overcrowded diner and towards the back, where a small group of 5 sat in a booth in the corner.

"Harry" a boy with brown hair and piercing blue eyes screamed as soon as Harry came into his view, he ran towards us and jumped on Harry, clinging to him like a Koala.

"Hey mate" Harry said with a hard voice as the wind knocked out of him. The boys eyes opened to look directly at me from over Harry's shoulder before widening. He jumped down off Harry before walking towards me. I instinctively took a step back causing a frown to form on his face, but it was quickly replaced with the same over excited smile from before.

"You must be Jasmine?" He asked joyously.

I nodded before slowly sticking my hand out for him to shake, which he did with a small chuckle.

"I'm Louis"

Soon I was introduced to the whole group, being made to sit between Harry and a girl with shoulder length brown hait, who was about my height, but had a models body. I think her name was Charlotte. We haven't talked much but she seems nice enough.

"So Jasmine," a brunette announced from across from me, with Louis arm obnoxiously wrapped around her, "how long have you and Harry been dating?"

"Oh we-" I tried to deny her accusation but was interrupted by Harry.
