The mentally brave ( Editing)

"I haven't realized it progressed so much" Natalie's eyes are open wide as I made the lights in the room go off and on with just using my eyes and thought.

"Whatever you do, don’t tell mum" I make her promise me.

My mum obviously knows about my so called glitch, but she doesn't know the extent of it.
When I was younger she figured it out on her own after I used to comment and answer her thoughts. But with time I've learned to stop, and she stopped mentioning it.

"When did this happen?" Natalie continues with questions.

"The first time was, well you know when.. And I just worked on it since but it doesn't always work" I say.

"So you're saying Harry is suspicious?"

"He was, but I think I got him to leave the whole thing alone" I lay my head on the bed.

It was the next day. Natalie was back from school and in my room pushing off homework.

"Ohhh I don't feel like doing schoolwork.. I want to do something fun, now that you're back" She spreads herself next to me propping her head with her palms.

"Tell you what. If you get your schoolwork done, we'll go out" I smile brightly

"Where to?" She sits up excited with my plan.

"Well wherever you want to, I don't know what's around anyway, being away so long"

"So you admit you were away for too long then?" She smirks at me

"I said for long, not too long" I correct her.

Natalie is off to get her work done. I reach for my laptop and reopen it.
I am googling myself or anything that can come up about me, to erase off the network.
Once I'm done I go down to spend a little time with my mum before Natalie and I go out.

"Hi darling, what have you been up to?" She smiles at me as I take a seat by the counter, watching her wash the dishes.

"Not much, just spent the day doing nothing" I smile back.

"You have plans for tonight?" She asks.

"Yes, I'm going out with Natalie" I say "Want to join us?" I invite her along even though I don't really want her to.

"Thanks love but I have an early shift at the hospital tomorrow morning, I better get some rest"

"Maybe some other time then?" I say.

"I'm ready to go- is that how you're going out with me?" Natalie comes running down the stairs wearing a cute dress with boots, her hair done in a side braid.

"What is wrong with the way I look?" I ask, getting up off my stool and giving a little spin.

"Liz!! No wonder people stay away! You look like a slob" She laughs at me.

"It's good for you, if I look like a slob all the hot lads will have eyes only for you" I bat my eyelashes.

"Come on Liz, you promised me we'll have fun" She whines

"We will! What is the way I'm dressed have to do with it?" I am getting confused

'You can't walk round the street in over sized sweatpants and a torn top' I read her thought as she glares at me with her hands on hips.

"Fine, I'll change" I drag myself up to my room. Truth Is I don't really have what to change into. I own two pairs of jeans and sweatpants basically.

"Wrong room! You have no clothes we need to go shopping" Natalie peeks through the door. I follow her to her room and sit on her bed, knowing she'll take the lead on this as it is. Mushroom was sitting beside me. I stroked his fur.

Natalie picks out another dress. It is white with a brown belt.

"I can't wear that" I tell her

"You can and you will!" she throws the clothing at me, than she gets me brown ankle boots to go on my feet.

I roll my eyes as I get up to change.

"Let your hair loose too" She says

"Yes mum" I mutter. Sometimes you would think she is the older sister.

We are walking down town where all the coffee shops and restaurants are. The streets are full of teenagers roaming around looking for something to do.

We decide to go to the pizza parlor. Natalie said that's were all the 'big kids hang'.
But as we walk in I can feel her confidence shifting away. In a moment she becomes self conscious and I see her shoulders hunched a little as if she is trying to make herself smaller.
'Maybe we should go someplace else' she thinks. I look at her and shake my head, than I walk in, head up leaving all my worries and fears at the door, hoping that Natalie will follow my lead and the same.

I can feel the people's eyes on us, and I can hear their thoughts but I decide to put that all aside and ignore them so I can enjoy my night out with my sister.
"Hi! What do you fancy love?" A nice looking boy asks us

"Hi there" I smile up at him. I see his eye flick as if he just recognized who I was.

"I know you" He says to me "You're that Lizzie girl who saved Harry"

"Um.. sure, yeah.. that’s me.. Have you met my sister? This is Natalie" I introduce her.

"Hi.. I'm Tim. So do you know what you want to order then?"

As he walked away with our orders I turn to Nat

"He thinks you're cute" I whisper to her.

"He goes to my school but he never talked to me before" She was playing with the serviette on the table.

"Well this is your chance" I give her a friendly shove.

I see her eyes searching the room. She is looking for a group of kids or more like making sure they aren't here though her face falls as she spots them.

"Liz, keep an eye on that groups thoughts ok?" She asks of me

"Who are they?"

"Just keep an eye out, you'll know soon enough"

Tim is back with our pizza and we start eating.

At some point I get up to use the loo and leave Natalie by herself.

I look at my reflection. It's been a long time since I wear a dress. I wipe my hands and head out.

'Natalie Silva is here' I hear someone spotted my sister.

'What is she doing here?'

'Not allowed to go near her, Harry will kill us'

'Shit her sister's back'

I can feel the eyes on me as I walk up to Natalie.

"Come Nat we better leave" I glance to the group on the side then back at my sister.

We get up to leave. As we walk out we are surrounded by a group of guys.

"The Silva sisters together at last" One of the guys speaks up.

'Liz whatever you are thinking.. please don't' I can hear Natalie throwing thoughts at me.

"Let us through" I say

"What about please?" Another guy asks

"Shocking! You know what that word means?" I put my hand up to my mouth

"Let the girls go" I hear a voice say.

Like magic the circle around us breaks and Harry stands before us.

"What up Styles?" One of the boys says in a shaky voice.

"You are coming with me now!" He is ignoring the boy, and looking at me.

"Yeah, sorry but no" I say to him, linking my arm with Natalie's

"Yes you are" He pulls at my hand, and I am trying hard to control myself so I don't throw him across the road with my mind. I pull Natalie after me.

Harry takes us to a dark corner where no one can see or hear us.

"What do you want Styles?" I fold my arms

"You lied to me" He says, eyes dark. I can see he is cross with me. I push Natalie to stand in back of me, shielding her with my body.

"She is not the one who needs protection" Harry raises one brow at my action.

"I'll be the one who decides" I tell him.

"Natalie hun, why don't you head home, and let your sister and me chat?" He smiles at her.

'Should I go?' She thinks at me

"I'm not letting her walk alone with all of these crazies walking around" I tell him

"Fine, let's walk her together" He says taking my hand in his.

I look at are linked fingers as we walk. What would I give to know what is going through his head. I hold on to Natalie with my other hand.

People were staring. There goes my trying not to be seen with Harry styles.

"What's up?" A blond boy came up to us and fist bumpes Harry.

"Nialler how are you mate?" Harry taps his shoulder.

"Where you heading? I'm going to meet up with the lads, you two lovelies are more than welcome to join" He smiles at us

"Niall meet Lizzie Silva, she just came back to town, and you probably have seen her little sister Natalie around" Harry introduces us.

"Nice meeting you" Niall puts out his hand for me to shake. I use the opportunity to let go of Harry, using that hand to shake Niall's.

"And you I've seen around. You have quite the hand on you" He smiles at Natalie.

I read a memory of his that just came to his mind, seeing Natalie throw a ball for Mushroom to catch.

"She does, if we were in America she could have played soft ball" I joke.

"Sure could, so you just came back? From where?" Niall asks me

"Umm... you know touring a little" I say. Natalie squeezes my hand.

"Niall moved here 2 years ago" Harry explains to us.

"From Ireland" Natalie says

"Yes, did my accent give it away?" He laughs "So are you lot coming with me?" He gestures to the way he was going.

"Nialler we need to get Natalie back home, but we might stop by later" Harry say. We??

"Ok, nice meeting you, I'll see you around" He waves and walkes off.

We start again to my home, this time Harry doesn't take my hand.

When we get to the front garden Harry stops and looks down at Nat

"I'm sorry I cut your evening out with your sister short. Can I make it up to you tomorrow? What do you say?" He smiles down at her, his dimples making it really hard to turn him down. I hear the jumble of thoughts in Nat's mind and smile to myself.
She looks up at me for an answer, though I wasn't paying attention to her thought's anymore but to Harry's face.

"Lizzie will come too" Harry assures after her not answering him.

"Sure" Natalie looks back at Harry beaming.

"Then I'll see you tomorrow love, have a good night" He bends down and kisses her cheek. I can see her face wash pink. Way to conquer a 16 year olds heart.

As Natalie closes the door Harry takes hold of my arm.

"I already said I'll come with you Styles, no point on holding me hostage" I jerk away.

"Fine" He says and walks me down the walkway to a motorbike parked on the side.
He hands over a helmet.

"No way, I'm not getting on this thing" I say to him refusing to take that thing out of his hands.

"You promised" He reminds me. I glare at him for a moment more.

"I'm a safe driver, nothing will happen to you, you have my word".
I take the helmet from his hand and look at it not really sure how to go on from here. He smiles, took it from my hands and put it on my head. Then he secured the strap so it sits right.

He gets his own helmet on and gets on the motorbike. He taps the place behind him. I look down at the dress I was wearing then walked up to him. He puts out his hand for me to hold as I get on. He hands over his coat for me. I do as I am told and put it on, guessing it gets cold riding this thing.

"Hold on" He says and starts the engine. I wrap my hands around him, my heart pounding in my chest. I was too caught on the fact I'm riding a motorbike to even realize I'm all over Harry styles.

Harry drove us to a secure place out on the town lines. He stops the engine and puts both feet on the ground. I realize when he takes hold of both of my hands and gently pulls them from around his waist, that I am still glued to his back. He helps me off the bike. My legs are shaky so he helps me catch my footing. When I do he undoes the helmet and takes it off my head.

"You good?" He smiles at me

"People ride these things for fun?" I choke

"It's an acquired pleasure I suppose" He chuckles. He puts the Helmets down on the seat of the bike and leads me deeper into the meadow. After about 10 minutes we get to a small cabin. He stops outside the door. I stand next to him, waiting for him to knock or open it, but he just stands there looking at me.

"What?" I ask

"Open it" He tells me. I reach out to take hold of the handle. The mettle is cold to my touch. I press it down and try to push it open.

"It's locked" I inform him.

"I know" He smiles "Open it"

"I can't" I frown up at him

"Yes you can" His smile dies, he is serious now.

"Give me the key then" I put out my palm for him to drop the key in.

"You don't need the key" Harry gives me an intense look.

"I'm sorry Styles, but I don't follow" I'm starting to get annoyed with this game of his.

"Open it, like you opened the door to your home last night"
