Lucy PoV

today is the day that my parents are coming over and they are going to meet Harry for the first time. they have no idea that i am in a relationship and i am worried that it won't go down too well. also we technically made it official, not by saying to the public 'oh, by the way, we are a thing now' i just posted a picture this morning. i didn't have comments on but any dm  s or tweets seem to all be nice and supportive

I opened the door and invited my parents into the flat. as we walked down the hall we were all standing in front of Harry. he looked so uneasy and i felt that way too, i am just expecting the worst from my mum and dad.

''mum, dad. This is Harry, My boyfriend'' I announce as i walk over to Harry and he wraps his arms around me

''hi, nice to meet you'' harry starts

''i guess it is'' my mum adds. i already know this is not going to go well

''okay, well lets all go sit down'' i say to the group pointing at the couch

we sat down for a little while and i caught my parents up on everything and they were just as unimpressed as i imagined, if not more.

''Lucy, can I have a word please'' my dad asks me

''yes, go on''

''in private'' he adds in a stern tone

''okay, lets go and get drinks in the kitchen then''

We walk into the kitchen and I started to get drinks as my dad kicked off at me.

''what is all this Lucy?'' he starts

''what do you mean?''

''we expected you to find a nice little place and to have a stable job and we find you living with some random boys and a silly, fake job''

''I have a stable job, and they aren't just random. I moved in with my boyfriend and his room mates who are lovely people, you should meet them''

''where did you even meet him, and I don't think you really took long enough over the decision to just move in with a stranger and i think i don't mind not meeting them''

''it doesn't matter how or when we met because at the end of the day we really love each other. and it wasn't a decision we took lightly, we talked about it a lot'' i said to my dad. and i just lied. i couldn't tell him that we met in a bar and like three months later i was living in his flat and that we decided within like 10 minutes

''you have disappointed me a lot in the past Lucy but this is a new low. living with this low life and his friends'' my dad tells me as we walk back into the living room

''wow, really dad? you cant just come over here and insult Harry like that.''

''Lucy, its fine don't worry about it'' Harry tells me as he can tell i am getting upset 

''its not. and i think you should leave now'' i raise my voice and point straight at the door

''excuse me, young lady?'' my mum replies

''you heard me. and you can't call me that anymore. just get out'' i shout as i open the door and my parents walk out, although i can tell they want to scream at me

''this isn't it Lucy. i will call you in the morning and i hope that you can come to your senses by then'' my dad tells me

''i look forward to your call'' i tell him sarcastically as i slam the door

i then walked over to Harry and he hugged me tight and calmed me down quickly.

''i am so sorry'' i whisper as i am sobbing

''don't be, it's not your fault'' he whispers back before kissing my forehead
