Hey Angel

- Chapter 6 -

Maggie

I aced the test today at school and now it's time to go to my lovely place of employment. Days just seem to drag on when I go to work, but knowing I get to text Harry makes the shift go by so fast. We have been chatting all day and I have learned so much about him, yet nothing at all. We talked about all the usual things, our favorite colors and singers, etc. I asked him about his friends who were with him and Zayn at the club to which he was super vague about. Like you can't tell me anything about them? Okay I guess. 

Before I went home I decided to go see my lovely father, Anthony. Depending on the day I either call him dad or his first name, and today I just feel like saying Anthony. I stumbled into my fathers house, the damn door is so god damn heavy for no reason like it's trying to protect something important. The door being so heavy is useless considering the amount of guards that surround the house, they'll never even get to put their hand on the door knob before getting bombarded by them.  My father does not live humbly, where as I much rather would and do. 

"Hello! Anthonyyy" I yell out, with how big the house is I basically have to in order to be heard. I hear footsteps approaching behind me and as I turn around I notice it is not my dad but rather my brother, Paul. Paul is a character for sure, a ladies man and for sure my right hand man. "Hey there little sis, Dad's not home yet but is there anything I can help you with?" He asks me and I smile shaking my head yes. 

"Actually there is something you can help me with, but please don't tell Dad yet I want to be the first one to say something" I said nervously. Paul looked at my confused as to what I could possibly be talking about so he asked for further context which I hesitantly told him. 

"I went to a new club last night call The Infini-" and before I could even finish my sentence Paul interrupts me saying "If you're talking about The Infinity Club, don't even bring it up to Dad because he will not be happy Maggie. You know how he gets when he's mad." 

Well shit, what could possibly be so wrong with this club, it's just a club. 

"Well if you would let me finish, I met a guy at the club and he said he owns it, knowing Dad he'll want a check on this guy so could you do that for me?" I sheepishly said knowing I probably already screwed up this relationship just at the sheer mention of the club. "Wait wait! You said he's the owner? What was his name Maggie, I need to know now!" Paul yelled at me and before I could even speak a word, I hear my Father ask from behind us "The owner of what?" I think I nearly shit my pants when I saw Anthony, knowing my brother was reacting bad, God knows how he'll react. 

"Both of you in my office...Now!" my father demanded, Oh god could this day get any worse. I cowardly walked up the stairs and in to my fathers office. Any and everything that could be gold was and it was such a tacky thing, but I didn't dare tell Anthony that. Paul and I sat in the two chairs sitting Infront of my fathers desk and my father looked already angry, probably a bad day at the business. From what I've heard from Paul, rival gangs have been messing with business and father is super stressed out about it, well time to make him more stressed I guess. 

"Hi Daddy" I smiled at him to which he scuffed at and I dropped my smile immediately. He knew something was up, I never call him daddy so I guess it's time just to get this conversation over with so I can go home and text Harry some more. 

"So what are you two yelling in my house about? hmm?" He says to the both of us and I turn to  look at Paul who gives me a "you're about to fuck up" look with his eyes. "Well Anthony, as I was telling Paul earlier, I met a guy last night...and he owns a club which is how we met. He's really sweet and kind, tall, handso-" My father had cut me off and looked me dead in the eyes saying "What's his name and what club?" I was scared to tell my dad, knowing what Paul told me I just wanted to beat around the bush and not say, but I know I had too, Dad would get it out of me eventually. 

"His name is Harry Styles and he owns The Infinity, that's all I know Dad I swear" 

I have never seen my Dad faint, but today I thought I was almost going too. He looked like he had seen a ghost just at the mention of Harry's name and club, I still don't understand what the issue could possibly be? Paul snapped me out of my thoughts when he cleared his throat to speak "Dad, I think it's time to let Maggie know everything especially since she is talking to The Harry Styles" he said to my father and it made him sigh knowing Paul was right. 

"Maggie, honey I think Paul has a point. You need to know somethings and you deserve to know who you're associating yourself with. This is a scary world and you can't always trust everyone" My dad said and it was starting to scare me, because again why was Harry such an issue. 

I finally decided to speak up "Why is Harry making you guys so nervous and why now do I get to know everything?" The suspense was killing me. Was Harry dangerous? Was he working for my Dad? So many questions that I hoped Dad or Paul would answer for me. "Harry is from our rival  gang, Maggie" Paul finally let out which made my heart sink, with that information I knew my Dad would never let this relationship go further. "The Infinity Club is owned by Harry, but he's also the son of the leader, Edward Styles. As you know our gang has businesses, well their gang The Kings, have been targeting our work and in retaliation we messed up theirs." my dad cautiously said. I knew my Dad sometimes did shady business, but not to the point of ruining other gang's ones. Knowing this information I started connecting the other dots, my Dad messed up their businesses and it was the clubs opening night...did my father's gang mess up his other clubs?!

I had no idea what to do with this new information, my father told me so much yet so little it was almost like he didn't trust me. With him knowing about Harry and I, I am sure he doesn't trust me even more now. Like he knew we were talking about him, I get a text from Harry asking if I wanted to meet at the club tonight. The ringer on the phone must have caught my Dad's attention because he asked who I was texting and Paul being Paul shouted that it was Harry. "Don't you dare send a text while you're here, I don't want him tracking you here incase he knows who you are! In fact, I forbid you from seeing him, for your safety and the safety of our gang." I was devastated by my fathers word, I really liked Harry and I don't know if Harry wants to take it further, but now there is no hope of it ever happening. 

I left my fathers house defeated, knowing I can't see Harry anymore, but then I got to thinking...I am a goddamn independent 22 year old, I don't need to listen to my father. If Harry wanted to hurt me, he would have by now in my eyes. I texted Harry back when I got home saying that I will be there. I just can't let my father find out, it will be hard but I have too.
