Past, Present, No Future. (Harry Styles)

63. Undeniable

"Who was your sister?" I asked Louis.

"Alison Montgomery" he responded as I tensed.

I couldn't find anything to say, I shifted in where I sat bringing my knees to my chest.

"Is something wrong?" he asked putting his hand on my knee sending shivers throughout my body.

"Ummm" I stuttered, "No" I shook my head giving him a slight smile, "I should go to bed" I told him beginning to get up from the couch.

"I'll clean this up" Louis said referring to the bowl we barely finished.

I nodded pulling the sleeves on my sweater down over my hands and walking up the stairs.

Going into the room I was staying in seeing Harry sitting on the bed kicking his shoes off.

"I need to tell you something" I said walking over to him.

"Before that" he said holding out his pointer fingers making me smile, "Listen to this" he scrambled for the nightstand grabbing his book.

I sat on the bed, next to him as he opened the book and licked his lips before reciting what he wanted me to hear.

"'We need never to be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die..."

I lost track to what he was saying looking down at his lips, admiring him as he read.

I couldn't help but smile to how into the book he's gotten, he put the book down looking at me excitingly for my reaction to what he read.

"I agree about the irreparably broken part" I said, "It's just at times it's incredibly difficult to be unbroken when you've been beaten so much"

"Like crumpling paper and not being able to straiten out again, it's bent forever"

"Exactly" I said, "I love it when you talk so sentimental" I said without thinking.

He raised his eyebrows giving me a soft smile and stretching over to kiss me.

He brought his fingers to my chin and angling his head upwards so that our noses fit next to each other.

"What did you want to tell me?" he asked against my lips.

"Uhh, it can wait" I half smiled.

"Hey Vanessa" I heard my name be called followed by a hand gently grabbing my elbow, "We need to talk about last night"

"What about it?" I asked Louis scooping oatmeal into my bowl.

"I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable"

"You didn't make me uncomfortable, Louis" I explained, "I was just sleepy is all"

He smiled and nodded opening the covert above us to take a bowl out for himself to get some breakfast.

"So, tell me more about your half sister" I said.

I was in the state of denying how small this world actually could be. There could be another Alison Montgomery with friends named Beth.

"What would you like to hear?" he asked grabbing a mug and putting an unwrapped tea bag inside.

"Anything really, I'm all ears" I leaned against the counter beginning to eat my own breakfast not wanting to go into the dining room to eat.

"Well, whilst my family lived in Doncaster, my dad would always find excuses to go out to what I later found out was somewhere in Cheshire" he began, "Later I found out he was having an affair, and got the mistress pregnant"
