Hello, new and old readers this chapter has been fully edited to third person and Harry personality is also getting a few changes so it is pretty good difference from the original. I hope you like it regardless (:

Harry shuts off his blaring alarm, rubbing the sleep from his eyes and pulling himself from his warm bed.
His brain immediately goes back to what happen over the weekend at that party, that boy. Harry didn't dare tell Josslyn some random f.uck boy was flirting with him, she'd go crazy.

"I might just snatch you up"

Those words rang through Harry's mind from the minute he heard them until he fell asleep, he has an unsteady feeling from the boy, he hopes he never has to see him again.

"Off to work?" Anne calls out once she hears Harry coming downstairs, soon emerging from the hallway, dressed in her usual work clothes, her purse strap resting on her shoulder.

"Yup, I get off at 4. Not too bad today" Harry smiles as she joins him at the door. "Where's Gemma?" Harry finally asks considering he hasn't seen his sister since yesterday morning.

"Where do you think? With Richie" She laughs with a sigh. Richie being Gemma's boyfriend, they always seem together, Harry is just waiting for him to pop the question.

Harry waves goodbye to his mum as the both head in different directions to their jobs, humming along to the radio. Turning the music all the way up to try and take his mind off..him.

A loud sigh is heard as Harry turns into the familiar parking lot, parking in the same spot, grabbing his things and making his way inside.

Once Harry finishes turning on the lights, He places himself behind the counter, waiting for his manager to show up. Harry loved his job, it was easy all he had to was sell older vinyls, the pay was decent enough for him right now, he's been working at the shop for almost a year and gets along with most of his coworkers.

Harry starts to re-clean the store even though it didn't become dirty over night but until a customer shows up the boy had nothing else to do. The store was always like this the first hour.

"Alright Harry. I'm off to lunch. I'll see you in a bit" Sara, the manger, informs as she steps over, handing him the keys with a smile then exiting the small shop.

It had been a pretty slow day today, the shop only had about 10 customers, mainly older men or older couples looking for the music from their teenage years.

Harry continues to read of the magazine he brought in, glancing around the store every now and then, his head popping up once the door bell rings, indicating someone is walking in.

"Hello, just let-" Harry stops mid sentence once his eyes lock with Louis' blue ones.

"Just let what?" He chuckles, walking over to the desk, placing his hands flat, staring at Harry intensely.

"Let me know if you need any help" Harry swallows dryly, diverting his attention back to the magazine.

"I do actually" he pulls a small slip of paper from his pocket sitting it down "my mum sent me for that"

Harry holds back and eye roll before sitting down his magazine, grabbing the piece of paper.

"Towards the back" The youngest mumbles, sliding the paper back towards him.

"Show me?" He leans closer, his tone softening has he attempts to make eye contact. "I'm Louis, by the way"

"Congratulations" Harry nods hopping on the stool, motioning Louis to follow him, he directs his to the second to last shelf, pointing to the third row.

"I haven't had a chance to organize them again. But it should be here somewhere" Harry shrugs, watching Louis nod and look over the records.

"Mum really didn't send me" Louis turns his attention to Harry.

Har ignores his words, crossing his arms over his chest, leaning against the wall.

"Then why come?"

"Do I scare you?" He blurts, stepping way too close for Harry's liking.

"No" Harry scoffs, which was a half lie, he wasn't scared of Louis, just a little intimidated.

"You seem pretty nervous to me" Louis laughs, stepping closer, almost touching Harry.

"Well you seem like you can't take no for an answer, so I guess we both can read people well" Harry pushes past the boy walking back over to the register.

Louis is taken back by the sudden attitude form Harry. He scoffs quietly before following the boy to the front, no disk in his hand.

"Feisty I see"

"Congrats your eyes work" Harry remarks, grabbing his magazine and ignoring Louis.

The older boy balls up his fist before storming out of the store.

This was gonna be harder than Louis thought.
