I Dare You

Twenty

{A/N} IMPORTANT!

There was an error with the last update and it erased half the chapter after it says "Okay" Harry mumbled.

So I rewrote the second half of the last chapter and I'm just gonna post it on this chapter and then write chapter Twenty. Okay? Okay.

__________________________________________

"Okay." Harry mumbled.

It seemed as if things would never change in the 'Styles home'. Well... It wasn't really the 'Styles' home considering Anne took Josh's last name when they got married. But Gemma and Harry refused to change their last name, so it kind of was still the 'Styles' home.

Harry didn't complain though. He never complained, he just took it. Harry always had so much love to give, and yet no one ever gave it back. Harry was a radiating love machine, hate went in and out came smiles and love. It's what made Harry so easy to pick on, is the fact that he wouldn't do anything about it.

Novelly sat in her bedroom looking through old year books whilst Jessie sat at her feet, painting her nails and going on a rant about Liam and how he wanted to be back in her life and blah blah blah.

"So then I told him-"

"Holy shit! Come look at this!" Novelly interrupted Jessie. Jessie moved from her position at Novelly's feet, up the bed to see what Novelly was talking about.

"What is it?" Jessie asked curiously, looking over the yearbook page.

"It's Harry." To be more specific. It was a picture of Harry, freshman year. His hair a complete curly untamed mess, his glasses pushed up on his nose, and his braces shining bright as he smiled for the camera. His acne was pretty evident as well, he looked like a completely different person.

"That's daring Harry?" Jessie began to laugh. Novelly just smiled.

"Harry Styles. Winner of the most books read in 'The book worms club' history." Novelly read the caption out loud, smiling because she thought it was actually adorable.

"I can't believe you're going to prom with such a nerd." Jessie laughed. Novelly's smile faded as she scolded her best friend, pushing on her shoulder slightly and telling her to 'Knock it off''.

"I mean, don't get me wrong- Daring Harry is way more hotter now than he was his freshman year! But come on! He's still such a dork and a nerd. Why do you even hang out with him?" Jessie asked. She didn't know Harry like Novelly did, even Novelly didn't know Harry that well but she still found herself caring for the boy.

"He's really sweet. You should have seen him when he asked me to prom is was adorable. He brought me a rose and he was all nervous and he was telling me I didn't have to go with him and that it was okay if I didn't and he was just so cute." Novelly smiled at the memory, having Harry show up on her door step with a rose asking her to prom was the perfect way to get her to go out with Harry. She was glad she said yes.

"Don't fuck him, Nov."

"What? Why would I do that? We're just going as friends." Novelly bluntly pointed out.

"I know you and my brother aren't dating anymore but,"

"Jessie-"

"No. Hear me out." Novelly loved the fact her and Jessie were still friends after everything that had happened. It took them a while to get past a small awkward stage but they both agreed to never bring up the situation or to bring up Louis.
