Worth The Prank Call ➸ Harry Styles

Grounded

~HARRY'S POV~
It has been five days since I've been 'grounded' and it sucks. I have no one to talk to and I'm stuck in the house with no one allowed to visit. Bella's gone to stay at her friends house until Simon says I'm officially 'ungrounded' which may be a few weeks or even a month.
I decided to play a bit of FIFA, having nothing else to do, when I heard slight tapping on the window outside. Thinking it was nothing I carried on playing.
Two minutes later I heard a small click and a door open. What the hell is going on? I paused the game and picked up a small lamp from the side table and slowly started to make my way into hallway where the front door was. I pressed my back against the door before closing my eyes and turning the corner with the lamp above my head.
"Stop! Stop! It's just me!" A familiar voice shouted.
I opened my eyes to see Zoe in front of me carrying a bag and two pizza boxes.
"Zoe! What the hell are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here and how did you get in?" I questioned, lowering the lamp.
"I just wanted to see how you were, you know, with the grounding and all. And I brought tv shows I want you to watch and a few movies. Oh and pizza, so you know, we can hang out."
"That's sweet Zoe, but you shouldn't have. You can get into big trouble for doing this." I stated.
"Ah well, what do I have to lose?" She shrugged, stepping to the left to enter the living room but I blocked her way, crossing my arms and gave her a look.
"Oh, right. I know how to pick a lock." I just gave her the 'How the hell do you know how to do that' look, "The wonders of YouTube." Zoe said, tapping my cheek before walking into the living room.
I couldn't help but smile as I followed her in, placing the lamp back down.
"Were you seriously going to attack me with a lamp!?" She asked, laughing.
"It was the closest object." I shrugged, chuckling with her.
She collapsed onto my sofa, lying down and kicking off her shoes. She opened a box of pizza and began eating it.
I loved how she acted around me. Most girls wouldn't act like this in front of a guy, especially their ex, but Zoe was different and I liked that.
"What do you want to watch first?" I asked, looking through the bag.
"Um, let's put Awkward on. It's a really good tv series." She suggested.
I nodded and put the first dvd into the tv. I pressed play before making my way over to her.
"Move up, make room for me." I whined
"There's a floor." She stated, trying to hold back a laugh.
"Watch it Bennett." I warned her, and she shook her head, before moving slightly.
"That's not enough room." I said, folding my arms.
"I can't hear the tv, shush." She giggled.
I went behind the sofa and jumped over the back, squishing myself in between the sofa and Zoe.
"Well this is cosy." She laughed, finally giving me a bit more room.
I took some pizza off her lap and began eating it aswell.
"Harry, you're chewing really loudly." she chuckled.
I opened my mouth and began chewing really noisily on purpose.
"Stopppp!" she whined, hitting me playfully.
I laughed, and we both focused back on the tv.
"SELFIE!" She screamed loudly, making me jump.
She held up her phone and took a picture of us, lying on the sofa together, eating pizza. She posted it on Instagram with the caption 'fave💘'
"You look pretty today." I smiled, looking down at her.
"I look like a tramp." she chuckled
"A beautiful one."
"Thank you Harry." she blushed slightly.
She rolled over to face me, and put her hands on my chest.
I leaned in, and so did she, connecting our lips.
It felt so good. I missed kissing her so badly.
I was the one to pull away first, and she was trying not to smile.
"That was good." she whispered and I agreed. "Harry?"
"Mhm?"
"Who do you want to be with? Me or Bella?"
"You."
"Then why aren't you?"
"Because I have Bella."
"But you don't want her?"
"I know."
"Why don't you break up with her?"
"I can't do that Zoe, I can't break up with a girl, I don't have the heart."
"You broke up with me." her voice saddened.
"And that was the biggest mistake of my life."
"Harry, please, you're only hurting both me and Bella by doing this."
"Zo, I'm sorry, I ca-"
"Don't speak to me. I'm sorry too. Seriously, I want nothing more to do with you until you can figure all this out. You want me, good. You want Bella, fine. But I'm not going to let you play both of us. Don't even come near me until you have sorted this all out." She spoke angrily, standing up.
"Zoe, please stay." I said quietly.
She ignored me, slipping her shoes on and grabbing her bag.
"Bye." She said, walking out the door and slamming it behind her.

~ZOE'S POV~
I walked up to Niall's front door, knocking on it twice before waiting for an answer.
"Zoe?" Niall asked, opening the door wider.
"I need your help, I panicked and came to you because I trust you and I just really need you advice." I rambled.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. Come in, I'll make you a cup of tea and then we can talk about whatever's on your mind." Niall explained, opening the door to let me in before going into the kitchen.
"Okay, now explain." Niall said handing me a mug of hot tea.
"Well, Harry and I kissed." I mumbled.
"You what? Are you guys together?"
"No because he can't make up his mind about who he wants to be with. I told him that I will not talk to him until he decides." I explained, "It's not fair for Bella and I."

"How did he react?" He asked, full of concern.

I shrugged. "Not badly, like he didn't seem to mind to be honest. He said he couldn't break up with her but he wants to be dating me."

"I think you should probably tell Bella then, like you said, it isn't fair on either of you. You talk to Bella, and I can talk to him if you like?"
"No thanks, I think it would be better if he figured this out himself. Thank you Niall, I'm going to call Bella" I nodded, standing up.
