Attitude Adjustments -Harry Styles Love Story-

Chapter 3

I pulled up outside Payton's as Harry jumped out the car and walked up the drive. "Harry..you're bags" I said with one hand on my hip and the other pointing at the boot.

He shrugged "Just put them in the guest room." I raised my eye brow, he sighed "..thanks" he smirked as he walked into the house. My jaw dropped "Is this is how he wants to play it, then let it be." I muttered pulling his first case out the boot and up the drive and into the house, after repeating this process 6 times I locked my car and stomped into the house, I walked into the living room and saw Harry talking with Carol but he turned to face me and he smirked while pointing to his forehead "Beth..little bit of sweat" he whispered the last part. I wiped my forehead and walked out squealing in fustration. Payton came out after me stopping me from getting in the car "Please stay."  She tugged at my arm. I sighed and let her drag me back into the living room. I ignored Harry but I could see him in the corner of my eye smirking, I turned to Payton "What time should I come in the moring?" Payton looked at her mum and waited for her to answer. I laughed while Carol resonded "how about 11? So we have time to get there and unpack." I nodded and glanced at Harry who was still smirking at me.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer" I sarcasticly said while rolling my eyes towards Harry. Payton stood up between me and Harry "I know you guys don't get along well, but at least try..Please, for me?" she whined, I fell back onto the couch and slid down "fine" I growled at Harry. Harry shrugged and leant back into the couch.

Payton looked around, trying to think up another conversation. "Mum can Beth stay the night?"

Carol nodded "It's up to Susan" she said, referring to my mum.

My smile widened "I'll call her now." I stood up and walked into the hall way and dialed my mums number.

I pulled my suitcases for tomorrow into Payton's house and I stuck them in the corner of the living room where I'll be staying the night, me having the memory of Dory I forget everything and anything. Like I forgot my bestfriend, mum told me it was after an accident but I don't believe her. I've had many problems with remembering stuff like..I'd walk into a room and forget why, that's normal right? But I forgot my bestfriend. Payton isn't like me..she remembers and seeing as me and Payton grew up together, she knew him. I'd always get her to tell me about him, she'd always groan but smile and tell me anyway.

 I sat on the sofa in some trackies and a tank top cuddling a pillow "Payton" I smiled innocently at her "What now?" she rolled her eyes fixing the duvets, pillow and sleeping bags on the floor.                          "Could you tell me about him?" she would never tell me his name.. I don't know why but Payton is full of secrets. She sat down on the floor wrapped in a duvet "What do you want to know?" she smiled at me. I shrugged "From the beginning."

Payton sighed "Fine" she looked around the room not knowing where to start, I lay back onto the couch, waiting. "It was in the morning, and you wanted to see us, so you rung him." She said looking at me, I nodded "He didn't answer.. you called again and again, but he still didn't answer" I nodded slowly. "I don't wanna carry on" She said getting up, I watched her slowly "please?" I whispered. Payton looked at me for a few seconds then sat back down "you then called me." I smiled while she spoke. "I tried to convince you that it was fine, but you insisted we go to his house. I couldn't stop you so I went with you, once we arrived we saw the house borderd up and bare, like no one has ever lived there before." she took a breath. "That was it then, you went mad, you ran home, and cried until you had no tears left to spare" she gulped "then you got a text..it was from him, it said something like 'we can't be friends anymore, i never liked you anyway'" Payton spoke slowly and calmly "You threw your phone at the wall causing it smash to pieces, you wouldn't leave your room for days, you would skip meals thinking it was because you were fat or too ugly but actually it was none of that..actually it wasn't him who sent the text" I nodded waiting for her to carry on "That was the end of him I guess, you finally found the courage and got yourself together." I smiled but it suddenly fadded "how did I forget Payton?"

She lay back onto the covers "that's all i'm saying."

I rolled my head back "Why? Why can't you tell me?" I asked her. 

Payton shrugged "I just can't." 

I stood up "Payton" My voice raised abit "Tell me why I forgot."

She looked down at her nails, I shook my head and walked out wiping my eyes. I buming into someone on my way to the kitchen, their strong hands gribbed my upper arms "Beth?" he asked me.

I looked up at him and shook him off "like you'd care" I walked away from him and into the kitchen.
