It was her | h.s

Harry Styles

I watched her walk away from me in the pouring rain. I was a bit confused as to why she pulled away and gave me a cold shoulder. I mean, was it because of the "I love you" thing because If so then I'd hate myself. But she was the one that decided to run away so I'm just going to stay out of her way until she was ready to come speak to me again. I mean we only had 3 days left together so maybe she just thought there was no point. Either way I had to suck it up and go speak to the boys about the show-

Oh fuck

I forgot

The rest of the boys and Kirsty were planning to do something to her. I don't even know why kirsty was involved, what did Raelynn ever do to her? Did she like... get jealous or something I don't know but either way, I was going to bust their heads in.

I run up the stairs while hearing the sound of the rain in my now drenched shoes. I kick open the door of the uni and run in while hearing the squeak of my feet following closely with each step I took. I went over to the room I knew they were staying in.

Before I opened the door I felt my jaw clenched and eyebrows furrow which actually hasn't happened in a while thanks to Raelynn. I put my hand into a fist as I feel them sweating. Why was I so fucking nervous... they're part of my gang under my rules. They should be scared of me.

I grab the handle and swing the door open to see all of them sat around a table mumbling something but then immediately coming to a halt as I walk in. Halton was here too? What the fuck was going on. On the wooden table they had sprawled out loads of paper work and what looks like loads of phone numbers. Kirsty was jotting down notes as Louis spoke to all of them as it sounded like they were plotting something.

"Ah styles nice of you to join us! Changed your mind about killing the girl yet?" Says Lou as he smirks

"No Lou. I haven't. But you will. Whatever you're going to do to her you can think again because I won't let it happen." I say as I feel my fists clenched causing my knuckles to go white.

"And who says Styles. Who actually agrees."

"Enough people to stop all you dicks."

"Keep thinking that styles." Halton says while chuckling and smiling to himself

"I don't even get why you're here in the first place to you can shut the fuck up." I felt myself get angrier by the second. Wether Raelynn was pissed at me or not, I was not letting anything happen to her.

"Well I guess you'll find out soon enough then mate. My job was to be here so you did your part of the plan and you failed. So we're doing it for you." Halton says as he comes up to pat my shoulder sarcastically.

"You lay one finger on her and I-"

"You'll what styles? You'll do what? Kill me? You can't even bring yourself to kill a pathetic girl so please tell me... you'll do what?"

"She's not pathetic." I say avoiding his question.

"You lay one finger on her and I'll shoot all of you like I did to her dad. And you all know why I did that, because he killed people I loved." I shout through my teeth

"Awe styles loves the girl." Lou says as he comes up and strokes my cheek. I immediately hit it away and punch him in the stomach.

"I trusted you two." I say as I pierce my eyes into Liam's and Zayn's.

Zayn just rubs his tattooed hands together while Liam's hands rest on the back of his head.

"And as for you. Raelynn didn't do anything to you. If anything she trusted you the most. You were like her only friend here and she doesn't even know your a backstabbing little bitch." I say as I point at Kirsty

"Cry about it."

My eyes widen at her remark as she smirks because she knows I quoted something I once said to both her and Raelynn.

I go to walk out the door in pure frustration when Kirsty says

"See you after the show."

That was enough to send pure chills down my spine. I didn't turn back. I just carried on walking.

Wether Raelynn liked it or not. It was my job now to make sure she was okay. I also am planning a small surprise for her which I hope she likes but I know the others won't. The only people that know are Haley and Ni.

I go over to her room and knock gently on the door. That's the first time I've actually knocked on her door, normally I just barge in but this time I felt as though I needed to.

"Raelynn. It's Harry. I don't want to come in I just want to tell you something." I say through the door in a soft voice because I don't want to scare her

"Actually Harry you're going to have to come in!" I hear a voice that didn't sound like Raelynn's on the other side of the door. I think it's Haley?

I open the door slowly as my eyes are met with Raelynn and Haley. Raelynn had loads of foils in her hair, I'm not all beauty and guru or whatever you call it. But I knew she was getting her hair dyed. What colour i didn't know but I'm sure she'll pull it off.

"You Uhm... getting your hair dyed?" I say as I put my hands in my pocket and clear my throat, trying to make conversation.

"Yup." She answers while not looking at me.

I look over to Haley who eventually takes the hint that I wanted to talk to Raelynn alone. She walks out the door and closes it behind her.

"What colour?" I ask trying to ease tension.

"Just blonde highlights."

"Ah sweet." I say as I scuff my left shoe on the floor. Blonde. Wait. I thought of an idea that adds to the surprise.

"What are you laughing at?" She says while chuckling slightly and this time actually looking at me.

"Just a thought." I say while smiling and looking at her

"Okayyy." She says while laughing a bit.

"I came to say sorry." I said and she looked down to her hands and started biting her nails.

"About that whole I love you thing. Well. I'm not sorry i said it but I'm sorry it upset you or you felt as if I rushed into things or-"

"It's not that." She whispers while crying slightly

"What is it Ray?"

She looks up at me as her eyes were filled with tears as she sniffles slightly

"It's just. You're only going to be here for 3 more days. If I told you that I loved you too it would make things way too complicated for the both of us. We are going to be strangers in a few days. Just 2 strangers with memories."

"Ray it's not like that."

"Then what is it Harry. Please tell me if I'm wrong because last time I checked. I wasn't. I think I just need to stay out of your way until you leave so that there's no chance of either of us getting our hopes up that this will work out." She says as a single tear leaves her right eye.

I was stumped. I didn't know what to say to her.

"Okay. I'll Uhm... see you at the show I guess."

I say as I clear my throat then turn to leave. I didn't realise how sweaty my hands were until I felt the cold metal against them.

"Goodbye Harry." I hear her timid voice say from behind me.

I didn't turn around. I just felt numb and I wanted to leave.

"Goodbye Ray."
