The Sexton House - Harry Styles * COMPLETED*

14.

I get in my truck and start driving towards town in hopes of finding the library before it closes. I pass a few cars while driving around town below the speed limit making sure I don't go past it.

After driving for about twenty minutes I finally pull up to the building, turn off my engine, get out of the truck, and head for the entrance of the small yet tall brick library. As soon as the door opens, I smell dusty old books and see many shelves. I walk towards the counter deciding it would be best off just to ask if they have any books on The Sexton House so I stride over to the counter where piles of books are stacked high.

"Hello?", I say looking over the novels that block my view and seconds later a short, blonde headed girl peeps through the crack.

"Oh hey, um I'm sorry for that..", she says grabbing the books and sitting them on the ground, "..normally nobody comes in this late", she finally says once I can fully see her. I check my watch to see that it's only five o'clock.

"Can I help you with anything?", she smiles at me and I forward the gesture saying, "Yes, I'm looking for books on The Sexton House or just on the Sextons". As I'm observing, she seems to have a petite body, golden blonde hair that falls loosely off her shoulders, and sea blue eyes that shine in the dim lighting. She is stunning I must say.

"We actually do, they have their own section", she says coming out from behind the counter. Her outfit consists of a blue knee length dress with simple flat footed shoes. I follow her to the back of the building to the far left hand corner. She stops to scan the book shelf before reaching up to grab a few books, but she's sadly about four inches too short for it. I come up behind her, brushing my chest against her back and reaching above her to grab the books off the shelf.

"T-thank you", she stutters while her cheeks suddenly turn a light shade of red and messes with a loose string on her dress. "Is there anything else I can help you with?", the young woman sweetly asks. I look down at the books in my hand before saying, "By any chance do you know anything about The Sextons?", and I raise a brow.

"You bought the house didn't you?", she looked almost hopeful that I asked and something seemed to spark inside of her. "Yes I did", her smile widens before she says, "I love that house".

She is the first person I have ever heard say they 'love' The Sexton House, everyone seems to be afraid of it,(which they should be). "Really?", I wonder. "Yes really, I used to go there all the time". Why would anybody want to go there? And ALL the time like it was a fun place or something? "Really? That's.......cool", I finally say taking my books and setting them down on a table. I motion for her to sit down as well, "Yeah I know it's kind of weird but honestly I love that house", she says and smiles shyly down at the hardwood table.

"Why the liking for the house?", I say looking through the three books placed in front of me. One is called 'The Sextons Before The Haunting' with a picture of the house which I'm guessing is a newer one.

"My older brother used to work there he would always let me come and visit him..", I take in what she's saying and make a guess that Charlie had a helper back then. "....and he would let me go in the tower window as long as it wasn't storming of course". I'm guessing this girl is fearless since she loved going to this house where Anna haunted at.

"You're crazy", I laugh shaking my head at her while she laughs along with me.

"I've heard that before", she smiles and says, "I'm Jane by the way". She reaches to shake my hand from across the table before letting go, "I'm Harry", I say.

We talk for probably two hours about the house and just ourselves. I mainly did the talking since she seemed a bit shy but overall it was a nice little chat. I rent the books for a week hoping I can get some reading time in and learn more about the Sextons hoping to find some information on Daniel, like who he was.

I'm heading home with the windows down and music blasting when I hear my phone ring. I pull it out of my pocket while turning the volume down and rolling up the windows before answering, "Hello", I speak through the phone.

"Harry! How's my big boy doing?", oh wonderful it's my mother.

"I'm good mom", I say rolling my eyes.

"Well I was just wondering if you've sent my cat yet?", I totally forgot about that stupid breakable cat my mother bought which is still sitting in my living room waiting to be shipped off.

"I haven't but I will tomorrow", I tell her making a self note to do so.

"Okay good, well have you got rid of the rats yet?", she asks and I pause for a second. Rats? I have rats? Oh yeah! My excuse.... I laugh to myself before saying, "Yeah I did but don't worry".

We talk till I arrive home and it's her mostly repeating how much she misses me but I finally had to tell her I had to go before my phone dies. Once that was finished, I jump out of my truck and lock the doors behind me. I jog up the steps and unlock the door but as soon as the door opens I almost jump out of my skin at who sits in front of me.
