The Way Things Work

Chapter Sixty

You folded up your last shirt and placed it on top of Harry's clothes as you forced the zipper of the suitcase closed. You walked out of the bedroom and paced around the living room, waiting for Harry. 

"How long will you guys be gone?"

"Relax Sarah, I was thinking an over night trip." Harry smiled reassuringly at her.

"Okay."

"That's a big step mate." Louis mocked.

"I-I know. I think I'm more nervous than her." He rubbed the back of his neck feverishly.

"I understand why I, understand why, I mean the last girl you introduced was Angel and none before that. C'mon relax Harry, your family will love her!" Louis attempted to relax him.

"I hope so." He sheepishly smiled before saying goodbye.

"Sammy?" Harry called into the flat.

"Here!" You chirped from the bedroom.

"All ready to go?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." You sighed nervously.

"They'll love you and hey, let's face it, you're the follow up to Angel. It's not hard to make her love you after that." He winked.

"Real nice." You chuckled. 

"It's only because I love you."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah Styles, I love you too." You rolled your eyes jokingly and smirked as you pulled him in for a kiss. 

Harry loaded the car and you headed off. It was about a four hour drive back to his home town and you talked for a few hours but you soon fell asleep without realizing. You jolted awake when Harry slammed on the brakes.

"Sorry babe, almost blew a light. Are you okay? Sorry to wake you."

"I'm fine. Why didn't you wake me?" You smiled.

"You just look so adorable when you're asleep."

"Really now?"

"Really." He chuckled. "There's about twenty minutes left."

"Okay. God, I'm so freaked out."

"Why?" He turned back to the road as he accelerated again.

"Well does she know my story? How broken I am?"

"No, we can explain your story together and you aren't broken babe, you're just hurt. I am here and you do know that you are perfect. Don't fight me just accept it." He smirked.

"Alright then." You winked at him. 

"I'm serious, they will love you. I do. And I hate to say it but your only competition is Angel so I think you're good."

"That may boost my chances."

"As if they weren't already going to love you."

He pulled up into the drive way where the front door flew open without the car even braking. Harry's mum ran out to the car with the biggest smile but your heart dropped when Angel's head flashed an appearance from behind the door.
