Unrequited Love (HS)

Chapter 2

Norah P.O.V

My heart stopped. I felt the air in my lungs lose sense of where it should go and just disappeared. I couldn't believe my eyes. I swear I was dreaming. I felt my body go numb and the book fell out of my hand down to the floor and all I could feel was the way my body filled with goosebumps from my head to my toes and the drop of my stomach. and as he bend down to pick up the book my eyes never left him, my brain was trying to make sense of what was going on, I tried to look for any sign that it wasn't really him, but the green eyes, the dimples, the hair, the smile and the tattoos, everything was there and I couldn't believe it.

And did he just call me an Angel???

As he extended his arm to hand me the book I stared up at him then tilted my head and said “a-are you like- like really harry? Or is someone playing a trick on me?”

He chuckled and said “yes darling I really am harry and I’m really here, no one is playing a trick on you” Before I could even finish listening to what he said a tear fell down my cheek as he started talking, the voice, the accent, the way he spoke, it really was him, oh my god!.

Without thinking I cut him off with a strong hug, I wrapped my arms around his torso and just held him as tight as I could without killing him, and when he placed his arm around my shoulders and put his head on top of mine I started to cry, not being able to actually register him truly being there

“if this is a dream please don't wake me up, please!” I begged, not wanting the moment to end, the feeling of being surrounded by everything he was, his smell, his touch and his voice that was softly comforting me and just having all of my senses taken over by his presence was something I wanted to feel forever.

“I’m here darling I’m really here, you are not dreaming, I’m here.. Nice to meet you.” he spoke softly in my ear and I couldn't help but shivers go through my body, as I giggled my heart felt like it was gonna explode from the overwhelming feeling of him being in my arms.

I pulled away, looking up at him as I held his cheeks with shaky hands, his hands following mine on his face “it’s so nice to meet you too harry, you have no idea how long I’ve waited for this, I love you so much harry so much” my voice trembled

I could feel his cheeks reden with heat beneath my palms, his smile was soft, full of love, he was touched I could tell

He pulled my hands down from his face and kissed the back of both of them, even though they were still shaking, then pulled me back to his chest and I held him tightly again because how could I not, it's not everyday you get to hug the one you're desperately in love with.

He kissed the top of head and he almost silently whispered “thank you” boom! first shot fired.

I knew he couldn't love me, I mean how could he? He doesn't even know me, nonetheless love me. So I get it I truly do but I still felt a part of my heart breaking.

You want to know what's gonna hurt most? The fact that he was finally becoming a part of my reality only to be stanched away from it, and to be honest I don't think I could just live with the memorizes he was gonna leave behind, I couldn't live with his touch tingling on my skin every time I looked back, I couldn't live with his smell hitting me every time I thought of him, I couldn't but what was I supposed to do.

my heart started speeding up and my breathing increased to an unhealthy pace. I felt light headed

"I think I'm gonna faint," I tell him.

He chuckled thinking I was joking as my limbs slowly fell off of him and darkness consumed me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up my whole body shaking for an unknown reason. As I come to consciousness I start to realize why.

"Hey hey, calm down you're okay, nothing happened" Harry says, ladies and gentlemen I present to you the reason I am shaking and gasping like a dying fish.

I looked at him. Thinking what on earth happened that resulted in Harry Edward Styles in our living room!

"Here," he gave me a glass of water, "Sorry I found my way around." "You do live alone don't you?" He asked. I looked at the glass and drank it anyway. But I quickly pulled it down, this tastes like shit.

"Oh My God, what the heck is this?" I asked my face grimmising. He chuckled and my heart stopped. He sounded angelic.

Clearing his throat, "lemon water, with a bit of ginger." He pinched his thumb and index finger together implying to his statement.

I smiled, "Well tastes really bad," I said softly.

He chuckles again and I had to take a deep breath. But slowly realization phase breaks it's way through, "speaking of living alone, which I don't, what time is it?" I asked.

"I'm not sure, my head is still on German timing”  I got up looking at the clock and screamed internally.

"My parents are coming like right now, you need to leave this instant" I pulled him up and tried to push him through the door.

"Norah," he turned around facing me and my breath hitched in my throat at the sound of my name coming from his mouth.

"W... What?”

“Calm down. I'm not your boyfriend. I'm just gonna meet your parents and it's going to be fine."

Second bullet fired at me, what was I expecting! It's kinda stupid to even think of it like that.

"Of course not. It's- it's just that, they will literally kill me if they find you here, they are not the most understanding people and they might think I had some guy over which will unquestionably be my death right away and I am not ready to die just yet!” I rushed out truly terrified of what would happen if they see him.

“no they won't, you’re overreacting, it's gonna be fine norah” he said not really knowing the extend this family can go to

“but you don't understand-” I was cut of by his hand holding my face “I won't let anything happen to you, I promise okey?”

I looked up at him since he was bit taller than me, I know I wasn’t gonna change his mind so why even bother? I had to trust him, after all he did promise.

I nodded giving in, then I turned around and sat on the sofa, drinking the disgusting water, I couldn't throw it away he made it for me.

He smiled, looking around. From between my eyelashes I saw him smirking that famous lip thing of his.

And I realised, I would do anything for him to be around, Harry Styles is a lot more important to me than a claimed relationship with people I wasn't even that fond of

His smile made my life.

But also life happens, and when I heard the door open, telling me that my parents have arrived accompanied by my brothers my stomach dropped.

Well here comes the drama.
