Broken Youth

Chapter 17

~ Chapter Seventeen~

••Harry••

The events of last night were still whizzing around in my head as sleep slowly left me and emptied itself into the pillow. Megan was still beside me, and damn she still looked hot as fuck, but her eyes were forcefully closed. All night she was tossing and turning, occasionally mumbling my name and pulling me closer but she never seemed comfortable. I stroked her cheek, the sunlight streaming down upon her, catching her beauty so perfectly I wanted to kiss her everywhere; touch her until she was over the edge. But I can't.

Because I'm afraid. Of the future. I don't want anything to change or things to multiply or trust to be broken. I want it to stay as beautiful as it is now. But no, it can't be: death and destruction is in our path. And nothing can stop that. Nothing. I hope she trusts me- enough at least to get us to 'the podium'. I need her. I crave her. I want her. It's just whether I can keep her... Because I've worked so hard to get to this point.

"Morning, Beautiful. You ok?" Megan smiled at me, covering her naked body with the white sheets. I nodded in reply. "Harry, I was thinking; all night actually. I don't know if you felt me, not in that way, but I couldn't stay in once place comfortably and I think it's because I'm worried. I don't know what this is, but, we need to work at it."
"I agree." I sat up against the head board and looked down at her beautiful body. "I'm sorry that was so damn rushed but-"
"No, no- I wanted it too- but we need to really fall in love with each other if this is too work. I can already tell something is different about this and that's my first impressions. But I don't love you. I don't think I ever could love you like you could love me. I don't even love myself. I'm sorry." Her head fell almost as if she was ashamed.
"Hey, it's ok. One day I'll understand; you'll help me, right?" Her eyes opened, slightly watery, and blinked innocently.
"And trust me I want this, but you have to protect me, because soon my walls will fall and the strong person I seem to be will go and the person I really am will show. Just, bare with me when it happens, ok? because I'll need you to protect me." Now she was crying: broken and shameful tears.
"Of course! Baby, this will be how you want it- how I want it. Nothing will be forced or fake. I know this is a shock to you (it is to me) but we can get through that." She smiled slightly as she stretched up and lightly kissed my lips. Sighing she got up and ran out the room across the hall, into the shower. Until a yell and a squeal echoed through the entire house. Doors opened and giggles spread.
"Blondie! What are you doing?" Megan's voice was stern and slightly shaky as I reopened the door to find Niall standing in front of the open door, Megan covering herself with her hands.
"I-I needed a piss?!" He seemed unsure about his answer.
"You don't need to unlock the door- from the outside- to get in! If the doors locked, generally someone is inside, therefore you don't go in!" Megan almost screamed at him before slamming the door again leaving Niall stood bewildered in the corridor, Jess stood with her hands on her hips, half her makeup done, looking at him with a very disapproved look. I forced back a laugh as Niall turned around, head falling as he noticed his girlfriend.
"Jess I-"
"Get in here, now!" Jess winked at me as she lead Niall into the room. Expect moans and groans, not stern words.

"Morning lads!" I acknowledged Louis and Zayn, who'd come out their rooms to survey the damage themselves, with a grin.
"Morning mate! Lord she's feisty!" Louis chuckled as Zayn, very sleepily, walked over to me and patted my back.
"She's good, I'm sorry about-"
"Don't mention it. Just next time, make sure you read the book." He smiled as I hugged him as Megan came out the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around her, a worried look on her face.
"Excuse me boys, I need to change." We both moved as if she was controlling us. Damn girl. "Oh and Harry?"
"Mmmmm?"
"Where's Jess?"
"In there." I pointed to Jess and Niall's room, across the hall from my own.
"Thanks, babe." She brushed her lips against my cheek before running in.
"Excuse me!" Jess yelled.
"Oh my god..." Megan ran out again, looking disgusted. "Boys, do you know where she keeps her tampons?" Zayn pointed to the bathroom, now occupied my Louis. She sighed, rolling her eyes, and viciously rapped on the door. Louis opened, apparently shaving, letting Megan storm in and out again, now a white package in her hand.

No words are for this feisty, head strong but emotional female.

{Authors Note}

Dedication: (@InevitableDreams) I just think that you're amazing and I love you.

Note: 1) Are these notes too long? I think I'm going to make them shorter and more to the point. 2) I really need a 'ship' name for these two (Megan and Harry). So, if you wouldn't mind, comment what you think it should be and I'll dedicate the next chapter to the best ship name!

(Sorry this update was a couple hours later than expected; I hadn't quite finished it!)

Love you all | Meg x
