Andrea's P.O.V

When my sister texted me I was really worried. I was also sad I had to leave Harry. I think he actually might like me! But I was probably just dreaming.

"What's up?" I asked as I entered my sisters dorm.

"You don't know do you?" She sighed.

"Yeah. I mean I know dad lost his job."

"That's not even the worst part! Mom came over to tell me. So long story short, mom and dad got into a fight about who knows what and they decided that they were done!" She was practically screaming by the end.

"What!"

"Mom and dad are getting divorced!" She started to cry. I was still processing it all in my head until I realized I was sobbing too!

I don't even know how long we had been there but when Aubrey's roommate Allie walked in we wet both sprawled out on the ground. Dead silent.

I think she thought we were asleep because she quietly tiptoed past us to her bunk and started texting.

For the next few days all I could think of doing was drawing. A very old habit of mine. It started when my rabbit Kylie died when I was eight. I am not that good of an artist, but I would say after about thirty times, my Harry Styles portrait was actually starting to look real. I doubt I will ever see him again but hey, a girl can dream.

My mom had to tell me to quit moping around an average of thirty times a day. She wasn't making me go to school because she knew the divorce was hard on me. My parents concluded that since my dad is never home any way, we would stay here for now. I was pretty upset about that last part.

A few days later I decided to go to school. Nobody seemed to notice that I was gone. That's kind of the way it's always been.

In English class we were paired up with someone for a project. I ended up with this cute guy named Erik. He was smarter then he seemed and actually quite friendly.

At lunch I was prepared to sit by my self again, but I saw Erik wave me over to his table. I was hesitant but eventually gave in. We didn't really talk all that much but I enjoyed the company.

After school I started to walk home but changed direction half was there.

Half an hour later I had no idea where I was and I had just realized I had left my wallet and cell phone in my bedroom this morning! Just when I was about to give up looking for face I recognized I saw a shiny black car parked at a flat down the road nearby. Harry!

I walked up to the door and knocked.

"Hi there." Harry said opening the door.

"Hi Harry. Umm sorry to bother you but I'm kind of lost. Do you, by any chance, remember how to get to my house?"

"Corse I do." He grabbed his keys and rushed out to the shinny black car in the driveway. I followed.

"Thanks for doing this for me." I tried to start up the conversation.

"No problem."

"So why are you staying here?" I asked.

"The pluming system at home it broken so me and Zayn are staying at Louis' house for the time that we are on break." He answered. "So, um, I was thinking, err if I could maybe get your number? You know just so if you ever need a ride again."

"Okay." I stuttered. He handed me his phone and I typed it in and texted myself so I had his number too.

"Thanks"

Harry's P.O.V

I was ready to make my move.

"So uh... do you have any plans tomorrow night?"

Andrea's P.O.V

Oh my god!!!! Did Harry Styles just ask me out on a date!!

YES!!!!

"Nope." I tried to sound casual. Didn't think it worked. Oops.

"Great. Can I take you to see a movie then?"

"Umm sure." Ahhhhhhh! "What time do you want me to meet you? Or, umm, err..." I was really bad at this.

"I'll pick you up at seven."

Thank god Harry is a lifesaver.

"Sounds great." I said opening the door.

"Perfect! See you tomorrow babe!"

Did he just call me babe?!!!!!! Oh my god!!!!!!!! I don't think I have ever been happier in my life.

Ugh. I spoke too soon. I opened the door only to close it again. My parents were fighting again.

After about half an hour of sitting on the front steps I walked into the house.

Mom was gone. Probably locked away in her room. And dad was laying down on the couch hands covering his face. He must not have heard me come in so I just walked off to my bedroom and drifted off to sleep the second my head hit the pillow.
