"Let's just watch them all in order," I say after staring at the movies for ten minutes straight trying to pick which one to watch.

"Finally," he chuckles and puts it in then takes the seat next to me. "We have popcorn and every kind of candy and soda and juice and water."

"Yeah I see," I chuckle as I watch him bring everything to the blanket and lay it out in front of us. "Thank you. This is actually my first date."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I had a boyfriend but all we did was hang out after one of our houses or go out with friends. We never really went out just the two of us," I inform him.

"Well he must of been awful," Harry chuckles.

"He died last year," I say remember the night it all happened.

"Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be insensitive."

"It's okay. You didn't know," I say giving him a slight smile.

"Where you there?"

"Yes."

"What happened?" He asks.

"A party gone wrong," I inform him.

"Do you want to explain more?"

"Um... It was his birthday so we threw him a party at a friend's cabin in upstate New York. Our friend, Megan, brought her new boyfriend that none of us knew and he brought all his friends. Things got out of hand, really out of hand and the cabin caught fire," I explain as vaguely as possible.

"How many survived?"

"Just me," I tell him turning my attention to the movie.

"Sara I'm so sorry," he frowns putting his hand on my thigh.

"It's okay. I'm okay," I tell him pushing his hand off me seeing the frown get deeper. "I'm sorry. I just don't like to be touched in a lot of places. Holding my hand is fine."

"Okay," he nods and holds my hand. "I hope that you can eventually open up and not be so vague with me."

"I honestly don't see that happening. I feel like you have big hopes for this and I don't see it going anywhere after tonight. What you did is amazing but soon you'll forget about me and go off to date some kind of model."

"You're not a very positive person Nelson," he states.

"Now you sound like my sister, Sam."

"Well Sam is very smart so I take that as a compliment," he tells me.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because you interest me. And I would like to get to know you. If you allow me," he says as I turn to look at him.

"If I tell you, you're going to run away."

"Try me," he smirks.

"Harry," I chuckles and lean my head back.

"What? Why is it so bad that I want to know you?" He questions.

"Because you're not going to come back."

"Okay. Fine. So if I keep talking to you while I'm on tour and I come back then will you tell me about you?" He asks.

"Yes."

"Okay. You have a deal Nelson," he says holding out his hand for a shake.

"Deal Styles," I say and shake his hand.

We only make it through to the second movie or at least that's all I remember. I really have to stop staying up late because then my medicine wears off and I start blacking out.

I wake up in the morning wondering how I got home and praying I didn't do anything stupid last night with Harry and check my phone to have a random number text me. I open it up to read:
It's Harry. Text me when you wake up love xx
Me: hey I just got up. How did you get my number?
H: morning love. I took it from Michael. I'm going to call you
Me: okay

Less than a minute later my phone starts ringing with Harry's name so I answer.

"Hey."

"Hey. How did you sleep? You were already asleep again before I left your room," he chuckles.

"You put me in bed?"

"Yeah. You fell asleep on the car ride home," he informs me.

"How long did we stay out there?"

"We watched three of the movies," he says. Shit I missed a whole movie. "You didn't really talk throughout the last one."

"Yeah... Sorry. I slept fine. How did you sleep?" I ask changing the subject.

"It was okay. The bunks aren't that comfortable."

"Yeah they look that comfortable when you showed me your quiet place."

"I forgot I did that," he laughs. "I was trying to impress you."

"You really don't need to impress me. The fact that you are taking interest me is impressive."

"That doesn't mean anything. I still want to impress you so that you like me," he tells me and I'm s bit shocked.

"I do like you. It's just... It's weird."

"How is it weird?"

"Seriously?" I laugh. "Do you know who you are? Who you've dated? And now you want to date me? It's so weird dude."

"Dude?" He chuckles. "It doesn't matter what I'm known for or who ive dated. I dated them because I took interest in them just like I am with you."

"It's still weird and I guess a little unreal."

"Well this is very real," he chuckles.
