The Fight for Love [AU/Punk Harry Fanfiction]
Chapter 29
Harry’s POV:
I pulled away from Gabby. I really liked her, but I always pushed away people I liked. I didn’t want to push her away, but it was a habit.
“We should see where Izzy and Liam went…” She said quietly.
“Yeah.” I shortly answered as we walked into the hallway. Izzy and Liam were sitting outside the door with Niall and Louis. Where the hell was Zayn? Probably off with Perrie.
“Are you guys done yelling?” Izzy asked as she stood up.
“Yeah.” I answered.
Gabby started to walk out of the hallway, “I have to get home, my dad is probably freaking out. Izzy, do you need me to drive you home?”
Izzy shook her head, “I’m going to go out with Niall…”
She nodded her head and started to walk out of the hallway, and I ran after her.
“Gabby, wait.”
She turned around, “Yeah?”
I looked at the ground, “Do you maybe want to…uh…go out tonight?”
“I would love to.”
I looked up and saw the smile plastered on her face. “I’ll pick you up at seven?”
“That’s perfect.” She started to walk away, “What should I wear?” She questioned.
I thought about it, “Something fancy.”
She nodded her head, “See you tonight.” She flashed me a smile and walked away.
I ran back to the apartment, “Liam, what’s a nice, fancy restaurant?”
He shrugged, “Try Alejandro’s?”
“Is that like fancy like suit and dress and stuff?”
He nodded, “Dress pants and a nice button down shirt for you will be fine, and for Gabby, she should wear a dress or skirt or something.”
“How did you know I was going to take Gabby?”
He smirked, “Just a hunch. I’m glad you two are getting along.”
“Me too.” Liam smiled at me, “Do you like her?” I blurted out before thinking.
His smile grew, “I like her as a friend, that’s it.”
“I’m going to call her.”
Liam nodded, “You don’t have to tell me that you’re going to call her.”
“Shut up.”
He laughed and I walked into my bedroom.
“Harry?” She answered.
“Yeah…is it okay that I called?” I had never had a real girlfriend, or anything like it, before.
“Of course.” She answered.
There was an awkward silence, “Did you need something? Is everything all right?” I heard her voice on the other line of the phone.
“I just…”
“Look, if you don’t want to go out anymore, that’s fine…”
“No! I really want to go out with you…I was actually calling to tell you that you should wear a dress.”
“Oh…okay!” I heard the excitement in her voice rise.
“I will see you tonight.”
“I can’t wait.” She responded.
I couldn’t wait either.
Gabby’s POV:
I hung up the phone as I walked into my house.
“Hey mom.” I saw my mom sitting at the desktop computer.
“Hey, what are you up to?” She smiled softly at me.
“I actually have to go out and buy a dress, I have a date tonight.”
“Ooooh, a date? With Liam?”
“No…Harry. The boy you met that night outside…” That wasn’t the best way for my mother to meet Harry.
“Oh, he seemed…uh…”
“I get it mom, it wasn’t the best way to meet him. But I do really like him, so please give him a chance.”
She smiled, “Of course I will, honey.”
“Where’s dad?” I hadn’t heard his voice booming through the house.
“He went to his apartment.”
“He has an apartment?” This was news to me.
“Yes, about ten minutes away from here. He has had it since he left…”
Her voice trailed off, “Well, I have to find a dress…would you like to go shopping with me?” I asked her, trying to get her mind off of my father.
“I would love to! Let me get my bag and keys, I’ll drive?”
“Sure.” I smiled at her and waited at the door.
She came walking quickly, “Ready?”
“You bet.”
We drove over to the mall listening to the radio and making small talk about school. She asked me a lot about Harry.
“Do you like him?”
“Of course I do, mom! Or else I wouldn’t be going on this date.”
She smiled, “What happened with Quinton?”
I stopped smiling as flashbacks of Quinton came flooding into my memory. The way he would come over after school and just take his anger out on me. The worse time was the day he came up into my room and practically threw me down the stairs. My mom tried to change the subject, “Never mind. What kind of dress are you looking for?”
I shrugged, trying to get Quinton off my mind, “A white one, a nice elegant white one.”
She nodded along with me, “I think I know what you’re looking for.” She said as we pulled into the parking garage.
We walked side by side into Macy’s and went straight for the dresses. We were looking through rack after rack. We had spent a good half an hour looking, “Mom, we are never going to find one.” I sighed in stress.
“Never say never.” She said as she walked to me, holding a gorgeous dress. I stared at it in awe.
“That is gorgeous.”
She smiled at me, “Let’s go get some black heels.”
We ran to the shoes section, because we were running short on time. We quickly found some shoes and ran to check out. We got in the car and she sped home. We bursted through the front door and ran upstairs.
“This is so exciting!” My mother squealed.
“Tell me about it!” I was actually very nervous.
I got the dress on as quickly as possible after doing my makeup and hair. I looked in the mirror at the way it curved around my body and clung to my skin. I loved the way it looked. I put on the heels and stood up. I felt way taller. My mother came into my room with something behind her back.
“I have something for you.” She smiled.
She pulled out a black and white Michael Kors bag. It had to cost at least four hundred dollars.
“Mom, that is your favorite bag…”
She nodded her head, “And tonight, it’s yours.”
I took it from her and slung it around my shoulder. It looked so cute with my dress. I heard the doorbell ring, “Oh god, that must be Harry.”
“Gabby, you’re father will get it.” She said so calmly.
“He’s here?!”
“Yes, your father is here, and he is getting the door.”
I opened my door and saw Harry walking through the front door.
“Hello, Mr. West. I’m Harry Styles.” I heard his thick accent.
The last thing I needed tonight was for my father to ruin a perfectly good night.
I pulled away from Gabby. I really liked her, but I always pushed away people I liked. I didn’t want to push her away, but it was a habit.
