Little Things (H. S AU)

007. Talking It Out & Misunderstandings

(A/N We had to do it. Cuz chapter 7, double- o 7. HAH! no. okay. bye)

Harry's POV

I woke up this morning to an empty bed an no Hannah. What the hell? I roll, literally roll, out of bed to thankfully see Hannah's bag on the floor, indicating that she was still here. I slowly stand up and walk down the hall to the kitchen, only to find a shirtless Niall Horan and a half empty pot of coffee.

"Oh my god! Ni, you are blinding me! Go put a shirt on before I get blinded by your paleness!" I complain playfully. He laughs along.

"Oh fuck off!" He laughs. "You aren't any better, walking around here naked all the fucking time! Why does it even matter?"

"Shut the hell up. Hannah is still here and I don't want you to blind her." I continue to tease him.

"Ohh." He says in realization. "HANNAH, HARRY WALKS AROUND NUDE WHEN YOU AREN'T HERE!" He yells throughout the apartment and I have no doubt she heard it.

"WOULD YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP?!?!" I yell.

"No, but what is so special about her? I mean it's obvious she's hot, but why her, man?" He asks.

"She is beautiful." I correct him, because calling a woman hot is demeaning. "Yeah, Hannah is amazing."

"Dude, you are so fucking whipped."

"I am not! I just can't stop thinking about her and those icy blue eyes."

"What are you gonna do when she finds out you are using her to get in her pants?" Ni askes me.

At that moment, I hear her feet aangrily stomp on the hardwood floor and I know she heard every word.

"Have a fucking terrific day, Harold." she says, sarcastically as she makes her way to the door. Just as she is about to open the door, I place a hand on her shoulder, but she jerks away from my touch. She continues to the door and I don't stop her.

Once I hear the door slam, I turn to Niall with angry eyes. "WHAT. THE. FUCK. NIALL I AM NOT USUING HER TO GET IN HER PANTS! I LIKE HER! I WANT TO BE HERS! I WANT HER TO BE MINE! YOU JUST RUINED THAT!" I scream at the Irish lad. I am fuming. I admit that yes I mess around with girls, but Hannah is different. She consumes my every thought, she is the most beautiful girl I've laid my eyes on. She is the only girl I want to be with.

Before Ni can even respond, I am out the door. Fuck. She is probably already at the bus stop. Shit. I sprint to the elevator and, just my luck, it is just closing.

"FUCK!" I scream while punching the wall to my right. I hiss in pain. Note to self, don't punch a brick wall.

I sprint down the six flights of stairs and into the parking lot. Just as I get to my car, I hear my name being called. I turned my head to find my roommate Liam getting out of his old pickup truck.

"Harry, why the fuck are you in the middle of our parking lot looking like a maniac?" he laughs.

"Shut the fuck up. I need to go. I made a huge fucking mistake and probably just ruined my only chance with the girl I've been crushing on since year 6!" I tell him.

"Ahh. That Hannah girl. Well, don't let me stop you. Go get your bitch!"

"Don't fucking call her that!" Hannah is the furthest thing from a bitch.

"Fine, but you are wasting your time." He points to a bus that had just departed from the stop a few blocks down.

"Shit. I'm gonna be gone for awhile. Bye dick." I tell him, getting into my car.

"Bye shitface!" he calls to me. I pull out of the parking lot, following that bus. I follow it for a short time, thanking God that the record shop that she works at is close. I look away from the bus for a minute to try and call Hannah, but she doesn't answer and when I look back up, the bus is gone. Great. I pull into the parking lot of a restaurant to look up the address and I find it soon enough.

Following my phones directions to the store, I get there in 10 minutes. I park and run inside. When I get there, I see Hannah in the arms of her coworker. Her arms around his neck, his around her waist.

I cleared my throat, "What is going on in here?" I say, trying not to lose my shit.

"Harry." Her voice comes out shaky, like she's been crying. "Can I talk to you outside?"

"Please." I answer. She gives the douche an assuring nod and a kiss on the cheek. I am probably red-faced with jealousy and anger. She grabs my forearm angrily and drags me out the front door of Rocky's.

"Harry. You need to leave." What? "I heard you and Ni this morning and I know your intentions. You obviously know what happened with Ja-him, and I can't go through that again."

"Han-" I try to explain,but she isn't finished.

"No fucking excuses Harry. Leave me alone, I don't want you or need you in my life."

"Hannah. Let me explain. Please." I beg desperately.

"Fine but you have 5 minutes. I have work and a date tonight." She reasons with me.

"Ok. This morning, I woke up and I was so happy because I knew you stayed. I went into the kitchen and started talking to Niall. He asked me what was different about you, and I told him. I told him. Everything. I told him that you are the only person I ever want to be with. I told him how I have liked you since year six. How every girl that I hook up with can't help me get over you. You know why I haven't told you? you know what I've been waiting for. You. I've spent my whole life waiting for a girl as perfect as you. I love you. I love the way you can't go to sleep without your cup of tea, I love how passionate you are about your music, I love your voice, I love the way you hate the way you sound over the phone, and I love you so fucking much that sometimes I wish I didn't. Because it just reminds me that I can't have you and I hate that." I confess.

She stays silent, looking at me with wide eyes. "Hannah say something. anything."

"Harry. I, I don't know what to say. I will say, though, that I have been developing feelings for you, but I don't know."

"THAT'S OKAY! I don't want you to say it back and not mean it. Please just know that. I want to take this slow. I want to treat you right. I want to be there for you and not rush you into things. You tell me when you are ready and we will go from there." I tell her, and all the words are true.

"Okay. I have to go back to work but I will text you later. I promise. Thank you. Bye Harry." She kisses my cheek and walks back into the store.

What has this girl done to me?
