Sacrifice (Harry Styles Fan fiction)

Chapter 26

Jaylies POV

After getting a greasy Corndog....which I didnt enjoy very much. We all returned home... All except Harry. He took his car and was off.

Frankly I'm scared for the date.... Should I even call it that? We're just friends..... right? I don't even know anymore

"So Jaylie what are you doing tonight?" Sophia asked.

"Oh, I'm going to go for a run" I say quickly.

"We'll join you" she smiled.

"A really Long run" I started getting really nervous.

"Thats fine" she continued.

"I'm mean like really really long as in 12 miles." I say frantically.

"Alright we're out" she laughed.

"What are you guys doing tonight?" I say taking the topic off of me.

"Probably going to watch a movie" they said.

I turned around and looked at thd clock.. which read 6:00. That gave me 50 minutes to get ready.. I thanked everyone for the fun day at the beach and rushed upstairs.

I looked in my closet for something cute... Wait something cute? No! This is Harry we're talking about. We're just friends... Nothing more.

I find the ugliest swimsuit I have, a light pink polka-dotted bikini. Over that I put on running blue running shorts and a plain white v-neck. I check the time again, this time it said 6:15.

I ran to the bathroom to touch up my hair and makeup, which took 35 minutes. Now I only had five minutes until i had to leave.

I run down the stairs and grab my purse from the rack.

"Whoa, don't you look a little nice to be running?" Alex questions.

"I can't go out looking like a slob, can I?" I say, anxious to leave.

"Ok then" he says with a smile and allows me to leave. I open the front door, bidding everyone a farewell, and closed the door behind me. I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding, and I began my walk to the beach.

I arrived to the beach quicker than I expected. I looked down at my wrist to read the time, 6:59. Phew.... One minute to spare.

"Hey" Harry's husky tone made me jump.

"Harry you scared me" I said bringing my hands through my hair, a habit I have when I'm nervous.

"Sorry" he chuckled. "So are you ready?'

"Ready as I'll ever be" I mutter.

He takes my hands and pulls me towards the side of a cliff. I look up to see trees and all sorts of animals getting ready to sleep.

"Where are you taking me?" I inquire.

"Shhh, just follow me" he smiled, showing his dimples. We stopped at the side of the cliff, where he took off his shirt and motioned for me to do the same. I obliged nervously, and continued to run my hands through my hair.

He ran into the water without another word. As soon as he broke the surface he shook his wet mop of hair and motioned me to follow. I walked slowly into the water, each drop colder than the next.

"We don't have all night" He yelled coming closer to shore.

"Its cold" I shouted back.

He swam back and grabbed both of my arms and pulled me under.

"Dammit Harry" I screamed.

He just laughed and pulled on my arm until the water was too deep for me to touch the bottom. He dove under and swam towards the cliff.

"Where are you going?' I ask.

"Would you just shut up and follow me!" he moaned.

"Not with that tone" I said.

"Sorry, would you please just follow me" his green orbs lightened along with his mood.

"Why?" I complain.

"Do you trust me?' he questions.

"No" I halfheartedly laugh.

"You should" he said pulling me onto his back and going under. I opened my eyes to see where we were going. He swam closer and closer to the cliff. As we got closer I noticed an opening.

We swam through the opening and came to the surface.

"A cave?" I admired.

"Yeah, this is where I come when I'm stressed. It's kind of like my safe haven. I can come here and just be..... me" he said looking at his toes.

I stayed silent, but my heart was pained with pity. I don't understand him at all!

He took my hand again and pulled me deeper into the cave. There were candles lighting the way, and in the middle was a blanket with a picnic basket.

He sat me down next to him and opened the basket.

"Let me warn you, this is the finest food in the world" he said.

He pulled out two containers, one for each of us. I opened mine to reveal none other than mac and cheese.

"The best huh?" I raise an eyebrow.

"London's finest" He giggles.

"How romantic" I say sarcastically.

The giggles dim as we enjoy our cheesy goodness, until he is finished while I'm only halfway done.

"Listen," he starts "I just want to say I'm sorry for how I treated you. I'm not that good with strangers. It's just that, you remind me so much of my..." he stops himself. "Never mind"

"Of who" I push.

"I said never mind" he yells.

I cower at his tone and he immediately softens.

"I'm sorry" he looks at the ground.

"It's fine" I whisper.

"I" he clears his throat. "I.. uhm... I have chocolate strawberries" he said pulling out the container.

"My favorite" I smile trying to lighten the mood.

"Mine too" he says barley over a whisper.

"Can I ask you something?" I said cautiously.

"Sure" he said making eye contact with me.

"What's your story" I say after a couple minutes of hard thinking.

"A different question" he says breaking eye contact and looking at the ground.

"I have the right to one question, you have to answer." I say sternly.

"Fuck no" he said getting up and diving into the water. The last thing I saw was him swimming away, leaving me alone.... yet again.
