Wrecking Ball - Harry Styles

Chapter 33

POPPY

When Harry come back we laid on my bed with a film playing but we both weren't playing attention to it. I was laying with my head on his chest, our legs intwined and his arms wrapped round me.

"So why do you like rain so much?" Harry asked randomly.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Before you said you liked the rain and Penelope was on about you liking it since you were little. So why you like it so much?" He asked again and I thought for a second.

"I don't know, I guess I have always found confront in the rain. I mean all my life I have been a mess, my family's been a mess and I guess the rain just confronts me. Some people think its depressing and dull and they hate it. I don't get why people have to always hate dull things. They don't even try and love it. They just decide straight away that they are going to hate it because its not bright enough but I think its beautiful. The way the water surrounds us and falls without a care in the world. How it looks when the sun is shining on it and how it looks when its dark. Rain is interesting to me. It can mean so many things. To some people it means nothing and to others its means everything. It can come in different ways, sort a like people do, its comes in drizzle or a fall on pour or maybe hayal stones but its the same things ether way. I know maybe none of the these i just said make sense but I like rain" I said with a smile and Harry smiled down at me too.

"I love it when you talk about things. You get lost in your own little world, your own little universe of how you think things are and why. Its interesting. You interest me Poppy." Harry said and i smiled

"Should I take that as a compliment?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yea, yea you should" He smiled at me and i smiled back.

This night was the best I've had in a while and its all thanks to Harry.

*WEEK LATER*

POPPY

This whole week I've been falling for Harry, more and more. I think I might even love him. To be honest I didn't know I was capable of love until Harry come into my life. But the thing is Harry's been distancing himself from me and I don't know why, all I know is it hurts, a lot. And another thing is that Penelope has been more friendly with me and asking me to sit with her and her new friends. I did a couple of times but it didn't feel right. Penelope and I would talk like normal sometimes but other times we would be awkward around each other. Also her friends didn't really include me in their conversations and they all seemed like they hated me. But Penelope seemed happy with them and that's all that counts. That she found other friends that she can be happy with. I'm happy for her.

At the moment it was Saturday afternoon and I was on my way to Harry's house because I wanted to ask why he was distancing himself and that I might love him. Yes I was going to confess to him about that too.

I got out my car when I noticed I was now parked outside Harrys house. I slowly walked up to his door thinking of what to say before I knocked.

HARRY

I was laying on the sofa in just grey joggers, white top and a beanie. It was Saturday and I didn't want to do anything so I told the boys I was busy when they asked me to come round and stayed in watching tv.

This whole week I have been distancing myself from Poppy so that when this bet thing happens she won't be as hurt. Penelope stuck to her promise and started being there for Poppy again. She asked Poppy to sit with her and her new friends at lunch which I saw Poppy do and she looked like she was happy and I was glad. After hearing everything that she had done to herself I didn't want her to end up like that again. I wanted her to be happy, even if she does get hurt in the end, I want her to be happy afterwards. Even if she does hate me in the end as long as shes happy. Its hurt me not being able to be close to Poppy this week because when I told her that I like her, it was the truth. I really do and I know I shouldn't because of the bet but I couldn't help it.

Suddenly there was a knock at my door which snapped me out of my thoughts. My mum and sister wasn't in so I knew I would have to get up and open it.

As I slowly opened the door I saw Poppy standing there, she was looking at the floor before she realised the door was open and looked at me with a small smile and I smiled back.

"What you doing here?" I asked surprised but happy as well.

"Wanted to see you and I needed to ask you something" She said and I frowned a little before smiling again. What did she need to ask me?

POPPY

"Come in" Harry said and moved out the way so I could walk into the living room with him following me.

We both sat down on the sofa facing each other when Harry broke the silence.

"So what did you wanna ask me?" He asked and I didn't know if I should ask why he was distance towards me or if I should tell him that I love him.

"Harry I'm going to say something and I need you to not interrupt until I've finished..." I trailed off and he nodded.

"Okay I wont" He said and I started my speech.

"Well I don't know why but I've noticed this week that you've been distance and I don't know why and I don't know if I want to know why. But it hurt. It hurt knowing that you were kind of ignoring me you could say but thats not the only thing I've noticed. This week I have also noticed that I've been falling for you. Yes I know already know that I like you but when I mean falling for you, I mean really falling. Like I love you kinda falling and I don't know if you feel the same or not but I just needed to tell you. I love you Harry and this is weird for me because I never thought I could love until you came along, into my life. I thought love was a myth, a thing people thought was real but wasn't. I didn't know what love was until you came and I'm glad I don't know but I am. So yea I love you harry" I finished and before I could say anything else or he could, he cupped my cheeks and kissed me passionately.

We ended up making out for a couple of minutes before we pulled away and he asked if I wanted to stay and watch films with him, which I did. We watched loads of didnt films and talked about different random stuff. We cuddled on the sofa and soon we both fell asleep.
