That Winter

That Winter 21

At that moment I was afraid to turn around. I new that voice anywhere.

The one who tormented me and abused me.

I never thought I would see him here.

The irony for me to run into the one that I love but at the same time hate. Is that even possible?

It was Harry Style.

How did he know that I was here. In Australia. In Sydney. At this beach. On this day. And at this very moment.

Don't you think that it's suspicious, to find him here.

When I decided to start over. Then there he was, standing behind me. While my new friends are looking at me. Confused just like me.

What should I do? Should I run or face my past.

I mean I did run away, but some people have to leave their situation just to move on. I just had to leave the surroundings.

"Are you okay Christen? "

I must have zoned out for a while there for Ashton to ask that.

" huh, oh yeah I'm  okay. "

I slowly turn around to see if it was real.

If he was there.

" long time no see, right Christen. "

It is him. I'm not dreaming. This is real.

" yeah it has. What are you doing here? "

" The reason you are doing here. The guys and me wanted to see the beaches here in Sydney. "

" Well it's been great seeing you. Bye. "

I try to turn around and leave but Ashton had to mess it up.

" You know Christen? "

Thanks Ashton.

" Yes, I do. She was in my junior class in high school in England. How do you know her? "

" From school. She bumped into me. We hit it off as best friends. "

Ashton being Ashton, he hugs me from behind. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's his way of telling Harry that I'm his, or its him being annoying.

" Hi, I'm Ashton Irwin. "

He pulls up his hand to shake.

" Harry Style. Pleasure. "

They start talking for a while. And I was starting to become a bit nervous.

Is he going to to ruin me and Ashtons relationship?

I return to Meg and Luke, still flirting with each other.

" Who's that? "

" Huh, oh just a old friend. "

I guess my hunch was right. I see Ashton way to me.

I go to him.

" Harry invited us to a party this Saturday. What do you say. "

" No. "

His face dropped. Giving me his most pouty face ever. But if I know me I suck at parties. And my last one was not so good." I promised Meg and Ale and Wendy we would go to the mall and have a girls night. Why don't you and the guys go. "

" fine. "

I leave now with confidence to speak my mind. I have to admit, being truthful is not as stressful.

I could see Harrys facial expression change, to angry to calm.

" Another time then. "

" Yes. We shall. "

Harry did not attack me with words or getting physical. Maybe he changed or he must be really good at hiding his emotions. You never can tell.

The sun was about to set.

And we were heading back to our beach house.

It's Ales and it has four rooms.

Maybe things are about to get better.

Thanks for. Reading. Tory out. :*
