† Apocalypse † |Harry Styles| [ENG]

† Chapter Two †

I woke up at dinner time, so I got out of bed, quickly brushed my hair and then went downstairs to eat. I felt like I was petrified when I saw him sitting around the table with my mum. What the heck..? I didn't even know him! Why would my mother let him in to have dinner with us?

«Well, well», she squeaked, «You're finally awake. Do you feel any better?», she asked smiling at me.

«Hi Jenna», he said smirking.

My mind wasn't processing what was going on.

«This is Harry», she explained, «He is a friend of your father»

«Harry Styles», he introduced himself standing up and lifting his arm towards me to shake my hand.

I accepted it still confused and not sure on what to think nor do. I then sat between them two and I listened to them while they were engaging into a conversation.

«So you met him at the office huh?», my mother asked, «It's so strange, he never talked about you», she kept talking while she was adjusting her dress.

«Shane was a reserved man. Nobody knows this better than you, Julliet», he giggled playfully, «He never talked about his family either. I was just lucky to see your daughter is attending the same university as mine, we are in the same History class. That's how I noticed her name», he looked at me grinning.

«Oh that's so true», she laughed, «I'm happy to meet you, you'll make great friends with my daughter, I'm sure. May I ask why are you here?»

«I'm here for your daughter», he said making me spit the water I was drinking.

«Jenna!», my mother scolded me.

«Sorry», I mumbled embarassed, «What do you need from me?», I then asked a bit worried.

«We'll have time to talk», he replied, «Maybe later»

I found my mind asking myself if I should've been afraid of that...

«Well», my mother said, «You're always welcome here. You can stay or visit whenever you want or need», she continued smiling and winking at me while finishing the food left in her plate.

«Thank you very much ma'am», he lightly smiled at her back.

I really did not understand... she was always complaining about how much she hated my father and everyone he surrounded himself with and then she welcomed this guy nobody knew about. Did he brainwash her or something? Was that even possibile?

Then again, I could understand why she would invite a stranger to dinner. She would never admit that but she missed my father... she would never forgive him for what he has done though so she would rather feel close to him through someone who knew him personally.

«I will go wash the dishes», she said interrupting my thoughts, «Please Jenna clean the table», she told me while leaving the dining room and entering the kitchen. Leaving us alone.

I moved the bottles from the table and the creepy guy helped me out with the table sheet. I gazed into his eyes, still of an emerald green color. Maybe I really was going crazy and I only imagined those red eyes I saw earlier...probably my mother sent him upstairs in my room to wake me up. But then...he suddenly disappeared. Something just didn't add up...

I seriously needed to take some air, so I moved out of the house using the back door to stand in my small green garden.

Not so long after, Harry's curly hair appeared on the doorstep.

«I want to be alone», I complained.

«Why?», he asked.

«Because I do»
