The Outsiders (Harry Styles)

Chapter 27

When the police officers shove Harry into the car, I suddenly get the urge to try to talk them out of it. I get really angry. 

"They can't just take him," I look at Sodapop. 

"Actually, they can. Don't worry, he's been arrested plenty of times. We'll bail him out," Sodapop reassures me as the others come up behind him. 

"You okay?" Amanda looks at me. 

"Uh, yeah," I tell her and she sighs. 

"Let's go over to my place. They guys will take care if this," she holds my hand then turns to Niall, "Won't you?" 

"Yeah," Niall tells us. 

"You guys need a ride?" Sodapop looks at me. 

"Yeah," Amanda replies. 

"Alright." he says and leads us to his car. 

Harry's POV

I can still see her terrified face in my mind. I scared her. I always do. Not on purpose though. I just need Zayn to come. He said he'll be here soon. I'm not worried. I've been arrested for much worse things. When I get back home, I need her to come over. They guy I hit, isn't even hurt. I just punched him in the jaw, no big deal. He'll get over it. Besides, why isn't he here if he hit me back? I have a fucking black eye. 

"Hey," I hear Zayn from the door. The police let me go and Zayn and I head for his car. 

"Did I scare her?" I close the car door. 

"I don't know man, she looked kind of shocked," he says when he starts the car. 

"Whatever," I say as Zayn drives us to the house. Ten minutes later, I walk through the door. 

"Is Cherry here?" I ask Sodapop, who's sitting on the couch. 

"Niall ended up driving them to Amanda's," he says while putting a smoke into his mouth. 

"Where does she live?" I look at him. 

"I don't know, ask Niall," he points to the kitchen. 

"Ask me what?" Niall walks through the doorway. 

"Where does Amanda live?" I ask him and he groans. 

"Want me to just take you?" he asks. 

"Yeah," I say and he grabs his keys.  

I knock on Amanda's abnormally large front door. 

"Who is it?" I hear her call out as she unlocks it, "you're out already? Wow." 

"Yeah. Is Cherry here?" I ask her and she nods, "upstairs, second door on the right. Is Niall in the car?" she asks and I nod as she already heads for the car. Damn, they're obsessed with each other. I walk up Amanda's granite staircase and open her bedroom door. 

"Harry?" Cherry gets up from the bed and wraps her arms around me. 

"Hey," I sigh as she releases her hold of me. 

"Why are you out already?" she touches my eye and I flinch. 

"You need ice," she grabs my hand. 

"I'm fine, Cher," I stop her.  

"Have you seen Johnny yet?" she asks. 

"No, I'll see him in the morning," I wrap my arms around her small waist. I've never been with  a girl this small. It doesn't seem like it's her fault. She eats normally. I guess she was born this way. 

"Okay," she says and then stares at my pants pocket. 

"What?" I lift a brow.

"I almost forgot that you smoke," she says and I look down to find a pack of cigarettes in my pocket.

"I've been trying to cut down," I admit. The only reason I am, isn't for my health. It's for hers. I don't want her getting second hand smoking.

"I have to admit, I like when you smell a little like smoke," she laughs and I smirk.

"Love, no one likes the smell of smoke," I look at her. Why does she have to be so god dammed gorgeous? I miss her red hair though. 

"I said I like it a little," she giggles.

"By the way, make sure Niall doesn't get Amanda pregant," I walk and she shoves me playfully. 

"Did I scare you?" I change the subject. 

"No," she quickly responds. 

"I'll take that as a yes," I shake my head while laughing, "let's go." I grab her hand. 

"Where?" she asks as I open the door. 

"My place," I lead her downstairs. 

"Which one? You've got several," she laughs as we stop in front  Amanda's door. "Harry, my mom's coming back home in two hours. I need to go back," she explains. 

"I'll come stay with you," I respond. 

"My mom won't like the image of you sleeping with me, dumbass," she giggles. 

"I like to hide," I wink while opening the door. In the car, we've got Niall and Amanda hooking up. Nice view. 

"Ew!" Cherry says loudly enough for them to hear. They jump and Amanda rolls her eyes. 

"Okay, I'm dropping you off at your house," I grab her hand and head for Niall's car. She nods and Niall opens the car door. 

"You taking her?" he looks at me and I nod. 

"Yeah," I reply amd he opens the door for Amanda. 

"See you tomorrow," Amanda waves to us as she enters her house followed by Niall. Are he parents ever even home? 

As I stop the car at Cherry's house, she looks out the window. 

"My mom's here," she says while opening the door but I grab her arm. 

"You never say goodbye," I smirk at her and she rolls her eyes. 

"Bye," she kisses me on the lips surprisingly and closes the car door. I spot her mom opening the front door to her house. She gives Cherry a hug and then waves to me. I roll down my window. Damn, I've never met anyone that likes me so much. 

"Hi Harry!" she says and I wave back. 

"Hi Mrs. Dalla Torre." 

"It's so late, do you want to spend the night here?" she asks. Woah. She trusts me? Damn, she's so wrong. I want to say no but I can't resist. 

"Sure," I turn Niall's car off. Sucks for him. He likes to walk, right? As I walk up the stairs to her house Cherry crosses her arms while smirking. 

"We have a guest room down the hall on the third floor," Cherry's mom says. That's where Cherry's room is. 

"Thank you," I smile at her and she closes the door behind me. 

"Now, I can trust you two, right?" she smiles. 

"Of course," I reassure her. I'm literally lying straight to her face. Cherry hates when I do this. 

"Alright," she shoots us both a smile as she walks into the kitchen. Cherry starts for the stairs. 

"I won't go near your room," I chuckle. 

"That's a lie." she giggles. 

"How'd you know?" I whisper into her ear and we stop at the top of the staircase. 

"Harry, my moms here. We can't..." she whispers shyly. 

"It'll be quick," I  wink  and she sighs. 

"Sorry buddy," she pats me on the shoulder. The way she acts so innocent makes me want her even more. That's why she's on my mind everyday. No girl has ever had that impact on me.
