Wrong - Harry Styles

Chapter 16

Indie's pov

I rub my head as I jump into the car with mum, we head to school. I had remembered to do everything right today, including packing lunch, starting up my assignments, getting changed into something comfortable but yet kind of different for my taste, I was prepared for this day.

My mum starts to head towards the school and the car is silent, I start to brush through my blonde waves with my hand.

"You'll be careful with boys, right?" My mum asks breaking the silence of the car, I look at her as she starts. Is this another sex talk?

"Mum, we are not having the sex talk." I laugh loudly. "We already had this talk when I started dating Andrew."

I remember when she was trying to tell me that she wouldn't let me take the pill and be reckless, my periods have never really been a huge problem either. I remember her words clear as day.

"You're not taking the pill, you don't need it. The pill is supposed to be used for period pains more than it is for birth control, and I don't want any blood clot problems, my mother had them in her teenage years and I can't help but want to be safe and make sure you don't get them." I nodded my head at her, understanding why she was so cautious about the whole thing. I had just gotten into a relationship with my boyfriend, Andrew.

"I know, I don't really want to go on it anyway, my periods aren't that bad. And even if we do have sex.." my voice trailed off as I felt slightly awkward discussing my sexual intentions with my boyfriend to my mum. "You know, I'll make sure we're careful."

"I hope you end up waiting until marriage." She told me as she folded up the clothes we had just hug outside to dry up in the warm sun.

"Like you and dad did?" I ask.

"Um.. yes, exactly like me and your father did, it set us up for life." Her answer is soft, unsure. It makes me wonder why I would want to wait, they aren't as happy as they probably should be, why would I want that for myself?

"Why didn't you and dad have any other children?" I questioned her, I never grew up with siblings, I was a single child and it made me more independent, but it also made me a lot more lonely growing up with no one to play with.

"Oh.. because we were happy with you." I furrowed my eyebrows at her stumble in words. I decided against questioning it though. "Anyway, back to you and Andrew. You should really think about waiting before you dive into anything, I don't want you throwing away your virginity to just anyone."

"This is so awkward and awful talking about mum." I complained to her.

Andrew and I never ended up having sex, we sure did come close to it.. it's not something I like to think or even talk about though.

"I don't mean it like that, I just mean.. who ever you decide to be with, you just need to be careful. I just want to keep your heart together and I want this year to be easy for you." I let her words absorb for a little but don't think about it too much as we start to head into the school drop off, not many people are here yet.

"You can't protect me from all the bad people in my life." I remind her with a small reassuring smile she deserves.

"You're right, that's why I'm.. directing you now." Her car comes to a stop.

"My hero." I smile and kiss her cheek softly, she gives me a sweet smile at my action and I get out of the car and shut the door behind me, heading to the hallways like I do every morning. I feel my phone start to vibrate in my jeans back pocket. The name comes clear across the screen.
