CHAPTER 9
**HARRY’S POV**
She looks at me calmly with eyebrows raised. Either she knew about this or this is just how she acts when she has a pen in her hand.
“Hey, I remember you!” Niall cries out excitedly, jumping up and down in the air like a 3 year old on a sugar rush. She grins, showing white teeth
“I remember you too and Zayn” she jerks a head towards him; he smiles slightly shyly at her. He’s sometimes like that around new people but Perrie has bought him out a little more.
“Your cousin is slightly crazy” he says quietly. That makes her laugh, throwing her head back and runs a hand through her long blonde hair as if a little embarrassed.
“When was your first notion?” she asks him, dark, blue eyes twinkling with the after effects of laughter. I feel my stomach twist into knots at the sight of that. She gazes at all of us calmly as if trying to store our personalities and facial expressions to memory.
“So let’s get started” she says, smiling at the prospect of the small interview that we have decided to do.
Alana is good at this. She is funny, intelligent, kind and daring. She asks us questions no-one else had has guts to ask. Makes us laugh with the stupidity of them. Includes everyone but me. Yes, she asks me questions but not as much. Her eyes blaze when she looks at me then they leave my face just as quickly. I know that I broke the little trust I was able to create.
“Well thanks boys” she tells us brightly after going through at least 20 pages of her notebook. It didn’t feel like an interview, just like a talk with a friend. She has a gift, an incredible gift. A gift of writing and just being there for anyone. She tucks a long piece of hair that has escaped her beanie behind of her ear and stands up, slinging a guitar over her shoulder
“Can you sing for us now?” Louis whines, staring at her trying to do his best puppy eyes, which are pathetic. A flash of something flickers over her face. I don’t know what though.
“No, I can’t. I don’t sing for people” she says, standing up, avoiding everyone’s eyes. An expression of concern softens the features on Liam’s face
“Why don’t you sing to people?” he asks her. Her hand creeps up to a silver locket encircling her neck, running a thumb over its delicate engraved surface. I don’t know whether she even knows she is even doing it. She raises her eyes to face Liam’s brown ones, a dark blue fire burning their way across them. The same fire I saw when she helped me.
“Everyone has their reasons but mine are darker than most” she says quietly but I can sense a great strength behind them. And pain. She isn’t lying. Something happened to. Something that I’m going to find out.
**ALANA’S POV**
My reasons are as complicated as I am, as complicated as the walls I have surrounded myself in so I can never get hurt again. I have only let a few people past, Chace, Heidi, Kate and Jessica… well not anymore. She isn’t the whole reason; some parts of it but I have a past.
“Hey Alana?” a low voice asks me softly. I blink hard a couple of times, trying to stop the flow of memories from drowning me in its stormy waves.
“Mm?” I answer intelligently, making a nuisance of myself so I don’t have to look into those piercing green eyes. They’re staring at me anyway.
“I’m sorry about what happened this afternoon and I was wondering if you want to come for a coffee with me tomorrow to make up for it” he asks me. I look up at him this time, trying to find a trace of lying on his face. All I see is a crooked grin and a look of true regret in his eyes.
Oh what the heck. I could give him another chance. But… remember what he did to you. Don’t let your little teenage hormones control your emotions and actions. And repeat after yourself. No butterflies.
Well it can’t hurt. Could it?
“Alright Styles but it’s not a date” I sigh. He grins.
“We’ll see” and with that he walks out, casting a wink over his shoulder. I lean myself against a wall, staring up at the roof. What the hell did I just do?
