Curly Hair and Skinny Jeans

Chapter 9- In The Rain and In My Head

Everything stopped. I could've swore that I died right then and there when I saw Skylar walk in with her lawyer dad. I looked at the door and back at my menu. I wasn't hungry, or thristy. I just wanted to get out. It started puring outside and then thunder was forming in the distance.

I was terrified, thunder scared the crap out of me.

I was shaking and tried to calm myself down. The five tables in this part of the resturaunt were filled, Got out of that one thank god. The waitor filled up our glasses with water and put bread on the table. Lou took a piece and buttered it. I just looked down at my lap and tucked a piece of hair under my ear. We all ordered our dishes and with in 10-15minutes our food was out and infront of us. Eleanor and I both ordered a small bowl of pasta; mine with white sauce and her's with pesto. Harry got a NY Strip steak and Louis got some type of fish thing...I don't even know.

Then, Skylar passed our table. Harry and I saw her walking and we recognized her right away. I looked down and untucked all my hair so it fell infront of my face...Harry just turned around and pushed his hair down so it didn't give him away. She walked passed and didn't notice us. Then a burst of thunder rang through the resturaunt and a bolt of lightning shot by. I jumped and tried to hold in a little scream. I was scared beyond belief.

Then, it happened again and the power went out. I was scared and then...

*F l a s h b a c k*

"Cam ? Cameron ! Where are you ?" It was dark and I could hear Mikey's voice from under my bed. He was looking for me...He was the only one who knew about my fear of thunder, and lightning. I closed my eyes and when they opened, he was right there. My little 8-yearold body could fit perfectly under...but being a few years older than me didn't give him that advantage. 

Another Boom and Crash of lightning strook and I jumped out from under my bed into his arms. No one was home that night, only me and Mikey. The only one who knew about my fear and the only one to comfort me.

Now, I was without him. Mikey wasn't there to hold me...No one was, no one knew my fear and I wasn't about to tell anyone. 

*Back to the present*

I carefully slid my chair out and tried to get to the front door in the dark resturaunt. I bumped into Skylar on my way out, She didn't see me so I continued to go out. I was going to go home and be with Mikey, even if he was dead, I was going home. I walked out the door and into the pouring rain and thunder. 

Another Boom and Crash of Lightning, this time I screamed. I looked around squinting my eyes. I wiped off all my makeup which made somewhat of a difference. I turned back to the resturaunt. 

The lights were back on, but Harry wasn't in his chair by the window. I turned back towards the street and he was standing by the curb. I looked at him, Hair wet, Shirt soaked and he was walking closer to me. I stayed still and wiped off the rain droplets from my face. Thunder rang through the skylines again and i jumped. Harry wa closer now and when the lightning strook.

I jumped into his arms.

I started bawling, but he couldn't see cause the rain hid my tears, but he could feel me gasping for breath in between tears. He just stood there comforting me, in the rain, by the curb. I had to tell him, everything, right now.

"Har-Harry," He looked down at me and I stopped him before he tried to speak, "I need to leave, I have to go home."

"Okay love, we'll go and-"

"No." I stopped him, that wasn't all I needed him to know

"What do you mean ?"

"I need to go and be alone," I sniffled and jumped at the sound of another thunder strike, "My family's dead, I have no one. I don't want you to have to put up with me...I don't want you to think you have to help me. I-" Harry cupped his hands around my face and put his lips against mine. H etook one had and pulled a piece of hair behind my ear and continued to kiss me. I went on my toppy toes and ruffled my fingers through his hair. We parted and I looked at his eyes and couldn't think of anything to say.

"You're never going to be alone, you don't have no one, you have me." He smiled and leaned in to kiss me again. and I gladly kissed back. We let go and I couldn't help but smile, at the ground like I always did. He lifted my head and I stopped smiling.

"Why do you do that ?"

"Do what ?" I asked.

"Smile at the ground ? It's like you don't know that you're beautiful." I laughed and before I looked at the ground I looked up at him.

"That's better." He smiled and kissed me again. His warm lips carressed around mine and it warmed my soul. My heart pounded, and then the thunder did the same. I jumped and our kiss was over. I looked over at the resturaunt and there it was in the window.

Skylar.

 She saw the whole thing. I didn't see a tear, maybe she didn't notice it was me...maybe

She knew it was me...and I was screwed.

"Harry, can we go...please ?" I asked while holding onto his hand. He nodded and we walked to his car. Lou and Eleanor were already in when we hopped in the back. Eleanor just looked at me and smiled from the passenger seat. We drove to the hotel and we parted into our rooms. Harry took his shoes off by the door and I put my phone and purse in the table. My shopping bags were in the room already and they were neatly organized. I took out a pair of PINK sweatpants and an adidas tshirt. Once I was done, I walked out of the bathroom and walked towards my phone as it vibrated on the table. I reached for it, but Harry grabbed it first.

"Hmm...hmm...So, Cam, want your phone ?" He said playfully while holdong up my phone.

"Yes I do, actually...I have to call Skylar."

"Ooo" He unlocked it and looked at my messages. I jumped on the bed to try and grab it from him.

"Harry Styles, really love ? That's my contact name." He looked at me with a half smile and changed it. That I didn't mind. I snatched my phone back from him when he was done and I went to Skylar's contact name:

Would you like to call Skylar ?

*Yes*

Now calling Skylar

Ringing....ringing....more ringing.

"You've reached Skylar ! Leave a message !"

Damn. No answer.

I decided to leave a message. Explaining everything.

I laid back in the king-sized bed next to Harry and kissed his nose. 

"Is that all love ?" He said playfully

"Yupp...love" I responded while pulling the white sheet over my head.

"Cameron !" He whined at me.

"Harreh !" I mimicked back at him. He laughed and moved the cover off my face. I made a Mwah ! noice at him and made a kissy face. He looked at my eyes and I looked back at his. I sat up and kissed his nose again, but with all seriousness. 

"Happy Birthday, love." He kissed my forehead, smiled, and went to sleep. I just smiled, that meant the world to me, He meant the world to me. Now that I was alone, he was my world. I turned to my side and Harry grabbed my waist so we could cuddle, I didn't mind one bit, I fell asleep in his arms, perefect serenity. Then my perfect reality ended and I went into a different place, I was dreaming. I knew this dream, too, and it wasn't a dream at all...

It was a nightmare.

Intense ending....again....like always.(;
