Ella's New 'Friend' (A Harry Styles fan fiction)

Chapter 2

After all she went through today, she realized that Harry was too good to be true. All of her classes she wasn’t there. Mentally she wasn’t. Her mind was focused on this guy. Maybe it was a one time thing. Harry has definitely given Ella something to think about. She had no interest in anything else, but him.

The final bell rang, and Ella was brought out of her fantasy about Harry. She looked up and her history class was empty. She gathered up all her books and headed out to the lobby to wait for her mom. She saw a familiar car pull up in front of the school. She hesitantly walked to it, not knowing who was driving cause the windows were tinted and rolled up. As she got closer, the passenger side window began to roll down and then a small but shy smile came upon her face. It was actually someone she liked, and this person kind of liked her back. It was her older step brother, Liam. He was about 5 foot 10, dark chocolate brown eyes with average length straight hair styled into a quiff. Well, as average length as a guy’s hair can get. His face lit up brightly as he was exposed to see Ella standing there, looking down, like she always did, implying to Liam that it was just another day of her being lonely again. 

“Hey El! Ready to go? I can take you back to my place if you want? Danielle is there and she wants to see you again!” he said trying to encourage her to come. He knew as well as she did that she didn’t want to go home where she was neglected and forgotten about. She didn’t take any time to think. She knew Liam would always be there to take care of her, he always was. 

At one point they were true step siblings, and they enjoyed each other’s company. But, after their parents were done with each other Liam had to leave. Her mom didn’t like Liam, only because Liam knew how to treat people right.  Ella jumped in the front seat of his car, and they headed down the road.

“So how was your day El-Bel?”

“It was okay....actually” a shy smile appeared on her face.  Liam saw it to, when they stopped at a red light Liam looked over at her curiously.

“What’s going on Ella?  You look happy.” Ella knew she couldn't lie to Liam no matter how hard she tried.

“I met someone.” Ella said cheerfully.

“Ella! Thats great! Tell me everything!?” Liam sounded so happy for Ella, and all Ella could do was laugh.  

“What all do you want to know!?”  She was actually ready to tell Liam everything.

“Whats his name?  How old is he? What does he look like? How did you guys meet?” Liam was full of questions and wanted them all answered

“Well his name is Harold, he is 18, and really cute! He just moved here from Cheshire....” Liam cut her off.

“He moved here all the way from Cheshire!?”

“Yes!? Like two weeks ago!”

“Wow thats crazy! Anyways how did you two meet!?” Ella felt her face turn red, and she knew Liam noticed.  

“Well, I was late to my math class and the teacher was really rude. So, I had to go and do all that stuff, and he bumped into me while walking in the hall, making his way to the office as well...” Ella’s voice began to trail off not even bothering to finish as Liam knew this all to well on what was going to happen next.

“Wait a sec here El, he just clicked on you like that? That’s strange. He reminds me of...” he began to trail off, then started again seemingly talking to himself but Ella listened full of intent and curiosity. “No, there’s just no way it can be that Harold. Not a chance. He went back to Holmes Chapel to go back to school after it all ended. But I do recall that night talking with his mum. No.” he turned his gaze back to Ella who got bored with him talking to himself so she was fiddling her thumbs staring carelessly out of the window. “Ella...What’s his last name?” he said warily as her gaze slowly began to settle on him once again.

“You know that didn’t come up!” she replied joyfully. Ella just continued talking about her day, as Liam sat there driving along listening. He really cared about his little sister. Even if they weren’t really related. To Liam that didn’t matter. He loved her like the little sister he never had, with him being the youngest of only two older sisters, Ruth and Nicola. They were just pulling up into the driveway of Liam’s house. Just as Ella expected Danielle was there, as well as other’s. She didn’t recognize the large black Range Rover Liam parked next to. Liam got out of his car a strange look crossing his face.
