Ever since, New York [h.s] AU

17 || NEW OWNER

2018

It's been a whole year of me not seeing Harry. A whole year since I caught Ethan cheating on me and a whole year since I had the unexpected miscarriage.

Ethan and I were back on good terms, he was helpful more than ever and was helping to pay the rest of the house so we wouldn't loose it.

I was almost about to graduate medical school and I could honestly cry. The amounts of troubles I went through and with all the hard work, I got through them and didn't let anything drag me down.

I knew what I wanted, and I am a very ambitious person when it comes to achieving my goals.

As I was on my way to pay this months payment for the house, the lady at the front tells me I am unable to do so. "What do you mean I can't? The payment is due this month."

"Ma'am, that property no longer belongs to you. It's paid for and it belongs to Mr. Styles, he told me you'd understand."

Are you kidding me.

"How did this happen? Don't you people have any sort of security around here that says whoever isn't on the lease of the house can't do such things?"

"Yes, but Mrs. Davis gave him the confirmation that he could."

My mother has actually gone mad.

I nod. "Okay, thank you then." I say and walk away, immediately taking my phone out of my pocket to dial my mother but before I could, I see Harry inside his black Tesla, wearing black shades and waiting just outside with his window down.

"Hello, Katherine. Need a ride?" He says making me put my phone away.

"What are you doing here?" I cross my arms as I stand beside the open window. He raises an eyebrow

"Why every time I show up you ask me that? Obviously I'm here to give you a ride." He says sarcastically removing his black shades.

"Don't act coy Harold. Why did you do that?"

"Look, get in the car please? I've been out all day and the paparazzi hasn't found me yet." I roll my eyes and get in the car and as soon as I do, he drives away. "Now, are you hungry?"

"Don't change the subject. Why did you buy my house."

"Well. I told your mum about it and she refused at first but you know me, I can't take no for an answer. So I told her that it's actually a pretty great idea because you get to save enough money for college and overall it'd be very helpful."

"So you manipulated my mother into selling you our house." I raise an eyebrow making him nod.

"Yup."

"What the hell did I tell you?"

"You told me that I wasn't going to help and I told you that I didn't care because I wasn't asking for permission." He says nonchalantly.

"Harry - you do understand that this is going to bother me so much right? You know I have to pay you back for this?"

"Yeah, but I mean I'm helping you achieve your goal. That's what friends are for." He smirks making me shake my head but a small smile crept up on my lips.

"What are you doing in London?"

"I'm playing at the O2 again today." He shrugs. "I just came to tell you that you're coming."

"What? No I'm not. I have work."

"Well then I guess work will have to wait."

"Harry, I don't think so." I say.

"Ever since I started my career you have never been to any of my shows. If you want to pay me back for the house, come to the show tonight and we're even." He says making me throw my head back.

"You're so annoying. I will have to ask Alice."

"Let's go ask Alice." He begins to drive in the direction of the cafe.

"No, you can't come." I say to him making him furrow his eyebrows.

"Why not?"

"She's basically in love with you. If you go in there she'll get off topic. I know her, she's my friend and her parents own the place."

"Well then another reason for me to go in there and ask if she'd like to join us at the show."

"Harry." I warn.

"Fine. But can you bring me a blueberry muffin?"

"How about a two blueberry muffins and we're even?"

"Nope. I'm on a strict diet. Just one." He mocks and parks on the empty parking lot in front of the cafe. "I'll wait here."
