The Fight for Love [AU/Punk Harry Fanfiction]
Chapter 17
Gabby’s POV:
I was actually having a really good time. Luke was a nice guy, he wasn’t part of a gang, but he had a lot of tattoos and piercings himself. I looked over to the doorway and saw Harry standing there, looking at me. I looked at him and made sure to lock eye contact and quickly looked away. I wanted him to think I was having the time of my life. Izzy was sitting on the floor wrapped around some guy. Harry walked into the room and sat down across from the couch.
A very drunk Niall stumbled in, “Let’s play a game.”
Harry rolled his eyes, “Fine, Niall what do you want to play?”
“Truth or dare.”
I felt a pang in my stomach; I knew this wasn’t going to end well.
Harry shrugged, “Could be fun.”
“I’m in.” I heard Izzy call.
“Me too.” The guy next to her was playing too.
I saw Liam come in from the kitchen, “We playing a game?”
Harry nodded, “You in?”
Liam shrugged, “Sure.”
“I’ll play.” Luke said.
Harry looked to me, “Gabriella, are you playing?”
I sighed, “Sure, why not.”
Harry smirked, “Great. I’ll ask first.”
Everyone nodded and Harry turned his attention to Luke, “Truth or dare, mate?”
“Truth.”
“Are you single?”
Luke looked from me to Harry, “No, I mean, sorta. I have a girlfriend, but she’s out of town. I’m single for the moment.”
What? I took my legs off his lap and crossed them. I could see Harry smiling out of satisfaction.
Luke turned to Liam, “Liam, truth or dare.”
“Dare.”
“I dare you to take a shot.”
“Ohhh, what a dare.” I heard Liam mock. I couldn’t help but smile.
Liam turned to Niall, “Truth or dare, mate?”
“Truth.”
“If you could fuck one person in this room who would it be?”
Niall looked around the room, “Izzy.”
Every looked at her and she looked down at her hands. I was shocked; she isn’t one to shy away from attention.
“Izzy, truth or dare?” He asked.
“Dare.” She sounded confident.
“I dare you to stay the night with me.”
She shook her head, “Nope. No way, no sex.”
He laughed, “I never said anything about sex.” His words were slurring.
Izzy nodded her head, “Fine. I’ll stay with you.”
Izzy turned to me, “Truth or dare, Gabs?”
“Truth.”
“Why did you and Quinton break up?” There was no sympathy in her voice. She didn’t lighten the question with a smile.
I looked form Harry to Izzy, “I-I, we had different interests.”
She nodded her head, “Right, he was interested in you, but you are interested in Harry?”
“No. That isn’t at all what happened. I am not even the littlest bit interested in Harry.”
She shrugged; I was just hoping she would drop it. I turned to Harry, “Truth or dare?”
“Truth.” He answered quietly.
I couldn’t come up with a good one. I was sitting there looking at him.
“Are you gonna say something or not?” He questioned.
“I-I- I cant think of anything…”I said as I looked down at my hands.
Liam answered for me, “Tell us one thing, you have never told anyone else.”
I looked up; I was really hoping he wouldn’t say anything about the kiss. I couldn’t handle that right now.
“I have liked someone for a long time, and now I don’t think they are worth waiting around for anymore.”
He took another sip of his drink. His words were starting to slur together. He was clearly getting drunk. Was I the person he was waiting for but now he was done with me?
I got up from the couch and went out the door. I heard clicking behind me. Harry and his boots.
“Go, Harry.”
“Go where? I need fresh air.”
“At the same time as me?”
“I guess.”
He took another step to me, “Stop Harry.” I started to walk down the walkway of the house. It was actually quite big.
“Gabby. Stop walking!” He threw his beer bottle on the walkway.
I turned around, “Stop acting like a child.”
I continued to walk away, “I was talking about you in there.”
I stopped walking, but I didn’t turn around, “What?” I asked quietly.
“I liked you.”
“You didn’t even know me until a month ago.” I turned to look at him. His eyes were red, I don’t know why. For some reason, he looked smaller.
“We ran into each other, sophomore year, do you remember that?”
Slowly, an image came back to me. A boy, who looked like Quinton, bumped into me. I was late for geometry and I was so worried about getting in trouble for it.
I didn’t know what to say, “I…I remember. A little.”
He nodded his head, “I’m going back inside…this is a waste of my time.” He slowly turned.
I couldn’t find my voice. I couldn’t find a way to stop him.
Harry’s POV:
I didn’t want her to stop me, not this time. I wanted to be done with her. I shook my head and headed into the kitchen to get another drink. I picked up a beer and threw myself on the couch.
Louis came and sat next to me, on my left, and Zayn sat on my right side. Louis held up a joint.
“Want a drag, mate?”
I shrugged, “Sure.” I took a drag, my first one in a month.
I heard heels come clicking through the room, Gabby, again.
“Izzy, I need the keys.” She went up to a very busy Izzy. She was making out with Niall. I couldn’t believe I had really hooked up with her.
Izzy looked up and smiled at her, “Here.” She handed her the keys.
Gabby didn’t even look my way.
Louis hooked his arm around my shoulder, “Don’t worry about her, mate.”
“I’m not.”
He laughed, “Let’s get you a good looking girl, how bout it?”
I shrugged, “Sure.”
He pointed to a blond in the corner. “Her?”
I shook my head, “Too blond.”
He looked around the room, “Her?” He pointed to black haired girl. She had a lot of tattoos and piercings, like me, but she looked scary.
I shook my head even faster, “No way.”
He sighed, “None of them are her, mate.”
I nodded my head, “I know, but I want someone, just sex.”
A brunette walking by with a drink in her hand stopped, “Just sex?” She questioned me.
I nodded my head, “Yup, no strings attached.”
She smiled at me, “I can do that. I’m Ana.”
I nodded my head and smiled back at her, “Harry.”
I turned to Louis, “Is there a room we can go to?”
“Top of the stairs, first door on the left. It’s the ‘guest bedroom’.”
I nodded my head, “Thanks.”
I took Ana’s hand and walked her up the stairs. I didn’t even have a thought of Gabriella in my mind.
Gabby’s POV:
I am so, so stupid. I can’t believe I am falling for this. He didn’t really like me; I bet he just wanted to play mind games. Yeah, that’s it, mind games. I looked at the clock on the dashboard of the car, 11:15. I was so tired I could fall asleep right here in this car. I sighed deeply. I finally pulled into the driveway and walked into my house.
My mother was sitting watching tv again, “Gabby, what are you doing with Izzy’s car?”
“She’s staying at a friends house tonight.”
“What friend?”
I rolled my eyes, “I don’t know.”
I walked into the kitchen to get something to eat; I was starving, like always.
I was texting Izzy to make sure she wouldn’t do anything stupid with Niall.
I looked up and saw someone sitting at the kitchen table, “Dad?” My jaw hung open.
“Hello, Gibs.”
I was actually having a really good time. Luke was a nice guy, he wasn’t part of a gang, but he had a lot of tattoos and piercings himself.
