The Time Capsule (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 6

Harry's POV
14 years old
(Warning: Story starts getting dark here.)

   Things between Madden and me were pretty much the same as they always had been, even after the kiss we shared. We didn't really get a chance to be alone again after that night, and still, no one had any idea that we had kissed.

   And like always, the boys were ragging on me about my inexperience with the ladies when compared to them.

   "Seriously man, I know your damn hand has to be tired by all the jacking off you have to be doing." Baker says as the boys and I finish up a pick up game of basketball at the park with some older kids.

   "Why are you so worried about me and my dick? You wanting to see it or something?"

   "I don't want it to fall off! Seriously. I read an article one time that said if a man doesn't use his dick enough, it'll stop working."

   RJ and I look at each other and bust out laughing, knowing that's dumbest shit we ever heard, but not at all surprised to hear it come out of his mouth.

   "Baker that article was probably written by some middle aged man who just had an affair on his wife or something." Edge said from behind us.

   "I'm serious guys, it's a real thing. Look it up."

   "Either way, I'm not going to start sticking my dick in every girl that's willing and has a hole. I have standards."

   "Dude, Marcella Welch would give it to you any day of the year, and that's the hottest girl that lives in this town!" Baker yells.

   But he was wrong. She wasn't the hottest girl in this town, I didn't even find her remotely attractive. The only girl that held any sort of attraction for me was Madden, and anytime the guys talked like in front of her, her cheeks got the reddest tint and she covered her ears. I'd eventually take pity on her and tell them to shut it when she was around.

   Even though Madden wasn't a guy, they still liked to talk around her like she was one, even though we were all older now and Madden definitely knew she was a girl these days. She didn't get mad and try to hit us anymore when we tried to call her one.

   She even wore dresses now on occasion, and I think we all about fainted the first time we all saw her in one. None of us knew how to react. We'd seen her in a bikini plenty of times, but this was just different. Her body was different now, and all of us had noticed.

   Including every single guy in our fucking school. Me and the boys were chasing guys away from her like it was our jobs, and we gave most of them enough death threats through the years to know better now.

   She never seemed to care that we scared them all away, boys being the least of her concerns. She still just loved being around all of us and swimming in the ocean. She was content with those two things and never seemed to seek more than that. For now.

   "Where's Madden?" RJ asks, just now realizing it was weird for her to not be here with us.

   I had already texted her and asked, but she still hadn't responded. I planned to stop by her house on the way home if I still hadn't heard from her by then.

   "Probably on the rag, you know how she gets when she's on her period." Baker says, and we all grimace at the reminder.

   We had all been swimming one day over the summer when we noticed blood streaks going down Madden's legs when we had tried to play a game of volley ball on the beach.
