Harry’s POV:
Gabriella come outside in sweatpants and a huge sweatshirt that looked like it came from another guy. Her long brown hair was up in a messy bun, which made her look so much younger.
“Hey.”
She looked at me funny. “That’s all you have to say?”
I rolled my eyes, “What are you talking about?”
“You dropped me off, you walked up to my door, and then you left.”
“What else was I supposed to do?”
“Kiss me!” She was practically yelling.
“Sh, you’ll wake up all the boring people who are asleep.”
“It’s not boring, it’s two in the morning, Harry.”
I shrugged, “Whatever, let’s go.”
I started to walk away and I heard her laugh, “I am not leaving. I said I would come outside and I did.”
“Is this seriously all because I wouldn’t kiss you?”
“No.” I knew she was lying.
“Whatever. Did you get that from another guy?" I had to know.
"Get what?"
"Your sweatshirt."
"No? I got it from my father."
"Doubt that."
“Whatever. I’m going back to bed. Harry, I hope you-“
I ran up to her and cupped her face and kissed her.
She pushed my chest to get me off of her, “What the fuck Harry?”
“You talk too much.”
“Don’t do that!” She was yelling again.
“Why? You asked me to do it earlier.”
She sighed and rolled her eyes. She always did one or the other. It was nothing new.
“Just leave, Harry.”
“You’re so emotional; it’s exhausting.”
“I have a right to be. It’s not like my last relationship ended well.”
“I-“ Before I could get my comeback out, the front door opened.
“Gabriella?” The sounds of a woman’s voice came out of the house.
Gabriella’s eyes went wide and she turned as white as a ghost. “Yes, mother?”
“What are you doing? Are you sleep walking?”
“No, mother. Go back to bed.”
Her mother stepped out of the doorway and walked towards us, “I will not go back to bed.”
Shit, she was getting closer. “Is that Quinton?”
Gabriella sighed, “No, this is Harry, Harry Styles.” She mouthed ‘Fuck’ to me.
“Hi, Mrs. West. I’m Harry.”
“You should get going.” I see where Gabriella got her edge.
“Of course, ma’am. I am so sorry.”
“I will forget this happened, if you leave now.”
“Goodnight Gabriella, Mrs. West.”
I walked down the walkway and I could hear Gabriella’s mother yelling at her and telling her that she shouldn’t get mixed in with “people like me” again.


Gabby’s POV:
“Mother stop!” I yelled as I followed my mother back into our house.
“Why are you so interested in men like that?” She yelled back.
“I don’t know! Okay! I just am!” Why was she questioning me?
“It’s because of your father isn’t it?”
I rolled my eyes, “I cannot have this same conversation again!”
Tears rolled down my eyes at the thought of my father.
“Then what else could it be, Gabriella?!”
“I don’t fucking know, okay?!” I yelled.
“Do not talk to me like that! You’re father is the one who left us, don’t you get that?!”
I couldn’t look at her anymore. I ran up the stairs, “He left us because of you!” I yelled to her downstairs, before I slammed the door.
I cried until I couldn’t cry anymore. I eventually fell asleep and woke up at about noon. I was starving. I went downstairs and there was a note from my mother.
“I am sorry Gabriella. I’m going out for a little. I will be back later. Call me if you need me. Love you.
-Mom.”
I didn’t want to call her, but I was starving. Instead of calling my mother, I called Izzy.
“Hey Gabs!” She answered.
“Hey, Iz. Wanna get some lunch?”
“Sure thing, where do you wanna go?”
“Panera?”
“Sure! I’ll pick you up in fifteen minutes!”
“Alright see you then.” I hung up the phone and went upstairs to get ready. I threw on my ripped light blue jeans and black sweatshirt. I didn’t want to get dressed up to go out to lunch. I heard a horn beep in my driveway. I went out and Izzy was waiting for me. I opened the door and got in the car.
“Hey Iz.” I greeted her.
“Hey! I am so glad you called. I was going to ask you if you wanted to go to a party tonight.”
She drove off, “I guess. Where is it?”
She shrugged, “Some frat house. I know this girl, Perrie, and she said it’s wicked awesome. They do it like once a month. People get drunk, you meet new people, and all this other stuff!”
That name sounded so familiar, but I didn’t know how. “Yeah, that sounds cool.” I was lying. I just needed something to get my mind off of Harry and my mother.
We got to Panera and we walked in. There was Quinton, and a few of his friends were sitting at a table.
I looked at him and he nodded at me. I gave him a slight smile. I just wanted him to know I didn’t hate him. Izzy saw I was staring at him and she tugged my arm.
“Come on, forget about him!”
I smiled at her, “Easier said than done.”
“Well, tonight, we will get your mind off of him, once and for all!”
I was just glad she didn’t know the whole story, or she would probably kill him.
We ordered our food and waited for them to call out our number. We got our food, but we couldn’t find a seat, it was packed.
I looked over and saw that Quinton was still there. We locked eye contact. He got up and took his friends with him.
He came up to us, “You can sit there if you want, Gabby.”
I nodded my head, “Thanks.”
I quickly walked away and saw him walk out the door with his friends. I did not want to talk to him, hell, I didn’t even want to look at him.
We were eating and making small talk, but there was something bugging me.
“Iz…”
“Yeah?”
“Why did you and Niall break up?”
She shrugged, “I don’t know. Well, one night I got really drunk at this Weston party and I hooked up with this guy. I thought it was Niall, but I was really drunk. It wasn’t him, I guess. But I don’t know whom I really hooked up with. I never really cared, I was too upset over Niall.”
“Oh, I am so sorry to hear that.” Just another reason I don’t get drunk.
“Nah, don’t worry about it. Me and Niall ended okay…I think…”
I laughed, “You don’t really know if you ended okay, did you?”
She laughed with me, “Not really. I guess I’ll find out tonight.”
“What?”
“They’re going to be there. It’s their older members party!”
Oh shit. I guess I wasn’t going to get my mind off of Harry.
