Bucket List (Narry AU)

Chapter 21

 A/N I've been having issues with writing, I lost this chapter twice already and I'm so done, I swear

Hey guys, I'm here with another chapter of Bucket List. Still not updating often, because of laziness to be perfectly honest, but I'll try my best to keep up. Anyway, You're not here to read stupid author's notes. Vote, comment and share the fanfic because it makes me happy! Enjoy!

"Hey sis, what about them?" I ask curiously

"Ash and the others?" she replies, turning around from her kettle "They left. They told you that the plane would be early, so you wouldn't get to see them this morning."

I facepalm in realization. "Yeah, they did, I just forgot." I say as I sit down in the kitchen table and fiddle with my fingers. Gemma put a kettle of fuming tea on the table as she hears the toast pop up. Then, she puts them on a plate and lays it on the table.

"Eat up" she advised "What you doing today, do I need to pick you up?"

I smiled and nodded a 'no' with my head "Nah, I'll walk home. I'm going to be in town until a bit later today. I'm gonna hang out with a friend"

"Oh,ok. What friend?" she smirks "Is she cute?"

"It's a he, Gemma" I chuckle nervously "And he's very handsome, if I may say so."

She replied with a questionable look and shook his head "Don't say that, Harry. Guys shouldn't compliment other guys like that, it's weird. I told you this a million times, dumbass"

I tense up at her statement, but end up sighing and picking a toast up, spreading butter on it and eating it. Gemma won't ever accept me for who I am, that's becoming more and more clear, as if it wasn't enough.

"Yeah, hurry up. Or you'll be late or something." she says dryly as she gets up from her seat and walks out the kitchen. Did she notice anything?

"Where you going?" Lauren says mockingly as we walk out of school.

I blush and slap her shoulder jokingly "I told you, I'm meeting Hunter! Jeez, Lauren, why are you such a bitch?" I said laughing

"What did you just call me!?" she retorted, fake hurt in her voice, that quickly turn into a laugh. "I know, I know. But I'm so happy you're getting a date! And the guy in the pic you showed was cute as hell! Plus he sings pretty nicely too!" she rants

"I got you, I got you." I interrupt her ranting about my date. "Basically you're saying 'don't fuck this up, Harry, or you'll be alone for the rest of your life' right?"

"Maybe I am. But if this goes wrong, you'll definitely find someone else eventually." she points out making me feel slightly nervous. That was not reassuring at all. She waved goodbye at me as we parted ways and I turned around to leave towards the recording studio when a familiar blond head stops me in my tracks.

He was just there. All alone. His face was buried inbetween his knees and I could hear him muttering something about someone. I couldn't catch a name, nor did I want to. I just kept moving along, ignoring him completely.

Although it did kinda hurt.

I walked up to a grand building with a record label name written in big letters above the main gate. A security guard welcomed me and asked me if I was Harry Styles. Once I replied, he guided me to a long corridor and walked me over to a certain door on the far end. Door 197.
