All My Loving

Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Let's go shopping!

POV: Anna

We arrived at the mall and straightaway practically ran to Forever 21. Getting myself a new  pair of black skinny jeans and sky blue crop top. Rachel got herself a very cute cardigan sweater that she claimed was “to die for”. After 3 stores I had six different outfits and an empty stomach.

“Let's go to the food court I'm starving!” I complained. Rachel nodded,

“Good idea.”

We got to the food court to find it was packed.

“UGH!” Rachel yelled. About ten people shot their heads at our way and glared. Rachel blushed as I couldn't stop laughing at her.

“Don't worry about 'em” I encouraged pushing her to the Taco Bell stand. She sighed and as we got to the long line she was smiling again.

“Can this line be any longer?” Rachel groaned.

“I know right?” Someone ahead of said under their breath. Rachel and I looked at each other and smiled. The boy ahead of us was pretty tall, taller than us, and had light curly hair. Rachel loved curly hair, on boys or girls. Her favorite in One Direction is obviously Harry. But I prefer a guy with straight or wavy hair. My One Direction crush was Niall hands-down. So I let her take this guy. I nodded at her to continue their cute conversation.

“I mean come on it's Taco Bell!” She said a bit louder. Hoping the stranger would say something again.

“W-what's wrong with tacos?” He asked. Not particularly talking to anyone since he was by himself. His voice sounded familiar but I shook the thought out of my head. I could tell Rachel noticed but she decided to ignore it too.

“Oh nothing.... it's just so common don't you think?” She continued their conversation. The stranger's head shot up, realizing he has been talking out loud. Rachel and I laughed and high-fived.“Very funny ladies... thank you for embarrassing me.” the stranger started to walk away without ever looking at us.

“Hey wait!” Rachel called. She caught up to him and grabbed his shoulder. Forcing him to turn around, you could tell Rachel was in shock.

Those teeth, the hair, the dimples, the style of clothes.

IT WAS HARRY STYLES!! He was wearing a sweater and big glasses. But, being the directioners we were, we could tell right away it was him.

“I'm sorry for embarrassing you.” Rachel said shyly. My mouth dropped. How is she NOT fangirling right now?! HOW?! I closed my jaw and walked over to them. Trying not to scream “IT'S HARRY! YOU'RE HARRY! YOU'RE A FREAKING MUSICAL GENIUS!”

“It's ok, love.” Harry smiled. My heart melted. His British accent and his smile! AHHHHH!

“Hey...um..” Rachel started to say. Harry put his index finger on his lips. As if he read my mind about fangirling. Rachel just nodded and he looked at me, making sure that I wasn’t about to freak out. I just nodded mimicking Rachel. Harry sighed in relief and motioned us to follow him. He spun on his heels 180 degrees and walked casually forward. We looked at each other in disbelief and decided to follow him. I mean come on it’s HARRY STYLES! You don’t want to question him. He led us to a parking lot that had less than five cars in it. He took of his beanie and sunglasses off and hugged us. Rachel and I were confused but gave in to Harry’s group hug. He was the first to move back from the hug.

“You too...are so sweet...thanks,” he laughed.

“No you are! You do realize you are a part of the group that convinced me to sing, right?” Rachel rushed. Harry gave her a confused look.

“And YOU are a part of the group that help me get through my depression!” I joined in. Harry gave me a shocked look.

“What?”

“Nothing.” I said quickly as possible. Realizing that I just made a fool outta myself in front of THE Harry Styles.

“So what are you doing here?” Rachel asked changing the subject, obviously trying to save me from complete embarrassment.

“We have a concert.... a few miles away from here..... So we thought.... a small town like this would be.... fine.” He brightened up.

“Oh we are going to that!” Rachel smiled.

“Great!” Harry replied. I was just standing there awkwardly while the two continued chit chatting. I just wish I was good with people like Rachel. She could be put in a room with strangers and she would be besties with half of them in less than a hour. I sighed at the thought and Harry gave me a worried look in mid sentence.

“Are you alright, love?” Harry asked.

“Um..yeah..It’s just we have to get going soon.” I lied. Rachel gave me the “WHAT-ARE-YOU-DOING?” look. Harry frowned and replied,

“That’s a shame. I was going to invite you two.... over..... for dinner.”

“OH It will only be a few hours we’d love to go to dinner!” Rachel quickly stated. Harry’s frowned quickly went back to a bright smile.

“Fantastic.... call you later?” He questioned. Rachel nodded again and wrote her phone number on his hand.

“Talk to you later,” she winked. And, acting fast, I grabbed her arm, said goodbye to Harry, and rushed into the mall to the correct parking lot.

“WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?!” Rachel almost screamed while getting into my car.

“I DON’T KNOW!” I yelled back, “I...I don’t know ok?” I was on the break of tears when Rachel patted my shoulder.

“Hey...it’s ok..” she soothed.

“It’s just. When we meet them.. I won’t be good enough.” I finally choked out. Doing my best to hold the tears back. She looked at me with an appalled expression.

“HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?! Anna! Look at me!” she cupped her hand around my face. “You are beautiful! Don’t let ANYONE tell you otherwise!” Flashbacks from my Mom slowly started filling my head as Rachel was trying to talk to me. “I know you’ve been through a lot. But when we go to the boy’s house I want you to think you are the most beautiful, hot, sexy chick in the whole world, ‘Cause baby you are!”

“Thanks Rachel.” I grinned at her. I started the car and started the car. Blasting my “Up All Night” album, as we both start hollering the lyrics to each song.
