Sweet Dreamer (Harry Styles)

Chapter One

*BZZZZ BZZZZ*

I awoke to my phone ringing. My head pounding from the night before. "Hello?" I asked as I rubbed sleep from my eyes. "Cara, did you get home okay? You left mines at three and you never text me!" My best friend Chloe shouted down the phone. "Chloe fuck up, my head's about to fucking explode." I groaned. "What time did you get in at anyway?" She asked. "Just as my mum was leaving for work. So about half seven, maybe eight?" I said unsure of my answer. "Oh wow, how pissed is she?" She said. "Very pissed. Told me i'm not getting out until Niall's home tonight. We'll see how that plays out for her." I snorted.

"You going to Chase's house tonight?" I asked after being on the phone to her for half an hour. "Yeah, it's Friday, ovbiously i'm going." She replied. "See you at eight then." I told her. "See ya." With that the call ended.

I rolled out of bed. It was 2pm, Mum should be home from work by now. Fan-fucking-tastic.

I changed out of the clothes i was wearing and turned my shower on. I stepped into the burning hot shower letting the water cascade down my back. I washed my body, face and hair then stepped out tightly wrapping a towel around my body and hair.

I changed into a pair of dark wash jeans and a Nirvana tshirt. I put my damp hair into a messy bun and decided to go downstairs.

My mum was sitting at the table working, whilst sipping her tea. "What do you think you're playing at?" She asked. "I'm not playing at anything." I replied with the same tone she has used. "How dare you walk into my house at eight o'clock in the morning!" She replied to my remark. "Well sorry." I said not even meaning it. "No, your brother's coming home tonight after not being here for eight months and you're acting like a child!" She said. "I'm acting like a child? Oh please!" I said my voice raising. "I honestly do not give a shit that Niall's coming home. I won't be here anyway!" I said storming out of the kitchen, not wanting to be anywhere near my mother.

"CARA NATALIE HORAN! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT THIS MINUTE!" My mothers voice bounced off the walls of the house. I hastily walked down the stairs.

"How dare you speak to me the way you just did. Have you no respect for me!?" My mother angrily shouted at me.

"I lost respect for you. When you lost it for me!" I retaliated.

I ran to my room slamming and locking my door behind me. I brought out a large bag from my wardrobe, shoving clothes and the rest of my things in it.

I put the bag over my shoulder and walked down stairs, only to come face to face with my lovely mother again.

"And where on earth do you think you're going?!" She shouted at me. "As far away from you as possible!" I replied.

"And what about Niall? He's coming home tonight and you don't even want to see or speak to him!?" She raised her voice more.

"Tell him I said 'Have a nice life!'" I screamed back at her, walking out of my front door slamming it shut, and walking to Chloe's house.
