You Only Want Me When Im Taken : Harry Styles

Thirteen

*Sydneys POV*

My eyes popped wide open. When Harry turned back to me, he sheepishly smiled and didnt say anything. I just swallowed and shut the door. I clicked the lock. "Sydney? What are you doing?" Harry said in a quivering voice. He could tell I had just locked him out. "You obviously would rather be with Jennie than me, so go find your little girlfriend okay?" I yelled and stomped up the stairs, not waiting for his answer. I could hear banging on the door but I grabbed my iPod and cranked the music. My parents were staying at my aunts for the night and Luke was already in bed. I decided to put on some pjs and then go to bed. I snuggled into my covers and closed my eyes, trying not to think about how I'd rather be in Harry's arms.

*Harrys POV*

"Sydney?" I yelled from outside. She locked the door. What am I supposed to do? Sleep out here? I looked over to the drive way and I huffed. Her parents aren't home. I reached into my pockets for my phone. It wasnt there. Where did I leave my phone? I went to the side of her house and opened up the back gate. I went into the backyard and sat on the swing. There was a breeze and I began to shiver. Its cold out here. I started swinging back and forth and began to think. Why did Sydney freak out so much? What did I do wrong? I need to find a way in there. Then a lightbulb went off in my head. I got it.

*Sydneys POV*

I heard a thud. I sat straight up. What was that? Maybe im just imagining it. I laid back down and closed my eyes. Then I heard it again. Okay, this isnt my imagination. I got off my bed, only in a short, blue night gown- that I couldn't wear when Harry was in my room. I went into my closet and grabbed an old hockey stick, that I got from my grandparents when I was eight and was obsessed with hockey. I crouched down and tiptoed over to my window. It was 2:30am. Is someone trying to break into my house? From my window? I was a few feet from the window and I lifted the hockey stickover my head. I took the last step towards the window. My window was already open. I leaned over the edge and chucked my hockey stick out. I heard a thud and then saw a fuzzy head fall. Harry!

I ran down the stairs as fast as I could and opened the back door. I saw Harry laying on the ground. I ran over to him and kneeled on the ground beside him. "What the hell." I heard Harry groan. My room is on the second floor and thats how far Harry fell. "Harry are you okay?" I asked. "I guess." He said. I felt so bad. "Really Sydney? A hockey stick!" He said as he grabbed it and held it out to me. I blushed. "Sorry." I said. I grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him so he was standing. "Lets get you inside." I said. He nodded and held his head, as I helped him inside and upstairs. Once we got upstairs, I went downstairs and got Harry some ice for his head. I walked back upstairs and went into my room. I sat down on the bed next to Harry and handed him the ice. "Thanks." He mumbled. I turned to Harry and then "Im sorry." We both said at the same time. "What?" I asked. "Im sorry." He said taking the ice off his head. "For?" I challenged. He looked at the ground and said "Honestly, I don't know." I rolled my eyes and got off the bed. I started towards the door when Harry said "Where are you going?" I turned around to face him. "To sleep on the couch. Is that okay with you?" I said with attitude. "No its not." Harry said shaking his head. "Well, that's too damn bad." I replied before walking out of my room and went downstairs.

I turned off the kitchen light, then walked into the living room and laid on the couch. I was breathing heavily. "Are you okay?" I jumped. I turned around and saw Harry standing there. "Harry, you scared me." I said shaking my head. "Move over." He said gruffly. I sat up and moved over to the corner. Harry sat down on the opposite side of the couch. "Can you please tell me whats wrong?" Harry asked looking at me. I looked the other way. He moved over so he was sitting by me now. "You should know. Guys are so stupid." I said rolling my eyes and not looking at him. "Just tell me, please!" Harry was pleading. I turned towards him and said "You ditched me. You were gone. I didnt know where you went. You didnt answer your phone. Then I hear you went out with Jennie? My so called new friend? You dont even know her and you willingly leave with her. You get it or should I repeat it slower for you?" I said, the last part slowly. He looked down. "Sydney, im sorry. When I woke up you were gone. you were the one who ditched me and I do know Jennie. I know her better than you do!" Harry defended himself. "I went to the grocery store, my god!" I was breathing really heavy now. Harry put his arm around me. "Dont" I said threw my teeth. He took his arm back and just looked at me. I was looking at the ground. "You dont understand yet do you? I had some terrible years of my life, when you left I-I-I-I kept getting these nightmares, it was like a replay of when you left and how I was left there crying, as you drove away." My lip was quivering and I was trembling. "Sy-" Harry started but I cut him off. "And when i came home to find you gone I, I just thought, it was happening again. Then I heard you were with Jennie. That didnt make me feel any better. We only have a little bit of time together and you go spend it with someone that you just met." I sniffled. I wasnt full on crying but, I was teary eyed. "Sy-" Harry tried again. "No Harry, its fine." I said as I got up. But this time, I felt a hand wrap around my wrist. I looked down at my wrist and Harry's hand around it. Then I felt him tug on my wrist hard, so that I turned around and was pulled on Harry's lap. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close to him. I just let it all out now. I began to sob. "Shh, its okay Sydney." Harry cooed as he stroke my hair. Finally I pulled back and Harry wiped my tears away and just looked me in the eye. "Sydney, I am sorry." He said. I blinked some tears away and held his gaze. "I shouldnt have done that. I had no idea, what was going on. There is no need for those nightmares anymore. I promise, I will stay with you." "Well, that makes me feel bad. It seems like you're my dog and you're not, you're my best friend." I said trying to smile but it wouldnt come. "No, I want to stay with you. We can just have lazy days and do whatever for the next two days okay?" He reassured me. "But Harry, what about Jennie?" "Whatever. We hung out once." I felt the tears coming again but held them back. "But she obviously means something to you, you guys were going to kiss." I whispered because if I said it any louder, I would break into tears. He looked away. "Sydney, we hung once. I dont have any feelings for her. Its okay." He said smiling. "Plus, I would rather spend time with you." I smiled now. "Harry, if you want to be with Jennie. I wont stop you okay?" I said. He nodded and said "Now, lets get to bed!" I stood up first. I looked at Harry and saw his eyes pop open and then he smiled slyly. "What?" I asked. "Damn cupcake." He said and then winked at me. He was checking me out. I looked down and saw that I was in the night gown. I blushed and then smacked Harry on the head. He laughed and said "Ow." But didnt look up. I finally took my hand and put it under his chin, lifting his head. "Now, off to bed!" I said this time.
