Chapter 9

*Harry's POV*
It's been a week, and still every time I see him I want to shove him into the lockers. At least he's lost some confidence. Instead of holding his head high and winking at every girl, he sulks. He scuffs his shoes and drags his head. He's embarrassed, but that still isn't good enough for me. Addi still hasn't come back to school. It's starting to worry me. I don't dare ask her brother in fear he'll give me another black eye to complete the one that's fading on on my left eye.

I need to see if she's ok. And I don't have her number. I gave her mine but didn't get hers. Smart one, right? As the day came to an end I decided that I would stop by her house on my way home. I admit it is a little creepy but I can't stand not knowing.

I pulled into her driveway, relieved that no-one else was home. I took a deep breath and brushed my hair out of my face. I don't know why I was so nervous, girls rarely did this to me. I rang the doorbell and waited. I rocked back and forth on my heels, waiting for her to come to the door. The door cracked open and she peeked her head around the side. Her hair was pulled into a loose ponytail at the bottom of her neck. She had glasses on and looked like she was just sleeping, and crying. Her loose pants hung of of her body and were scrunched at the bottom around her feet.

I must have been staring because she said, “Harry, may I help you?”

I looked up and felt my cheeks turn red. She gave me a pained smile and I responded, “Addi, are you ok. I just needed to know.”

She looked down, “Yeah, i'm fine. Thanks again for last week.”

It hurt me to see her like that. “I can tell your just saying that. Do you want to talk.”

“I don't feel ready to talk yet, but thanks.”

“Ok. But look, you need to get out of the house. Do you want to do something?”

“I don't know Harry, I'm not really up--”

“Ok perfect, it's settled. We'll go bowling tonight. I'll call up Mackenzie and Layne, your brother can come if he wants too? And by the way, your friends are worried about you to. I'll pick you up at 7, see ya then!” I winked at her as I walked away. Was that to forceful? I turned around to see her laughing as she turned to close the door. That's exactly what I wanted. I wanted to see her smile.

*Addison's POV*
I laughed as Harry walked away. He was right, I needed to get out of the house. Forget about this past week and be with my friend. I hurried up the stairs and went strait to the shower. After a quick shower I got out just in time to hear the door knock. I opened the door to see Landon's shocked face. I knew everyone was worried about me. Landon was especially bad at hiding it.

“Why are you getting dressed?” he asked curiously.

“I've got a date with my friends tonight. Harry came to see how I was doing and said that Mackenzie, Layne, him and I are going bowling tonight.” I said excitedly. I was sure he would be relieved that I was leaving the house.

“Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, it's only been a week. Maybe you should take this slow.”

“Jeez Landon. I am not going to sit here and feel sorry for myself. I need to get out and move on. Get out, now.”

He looked at me and shook his spun around on his heels. He headed down the stairs, slamming the door on his way out. I shook it of and continued to get ready. I left my hair natural and applied a little bit of eyeliner and mascara. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 6:30. I needed to hurry.

I walked up to my closet and grabbed a light wash pair of skinny jeans, a pair of grey TOMS, and a loose burgundy top. I pulled my Fossil purse out from the corner of the room and ran down the stairs. I decided to wait for Harry on the front steps. I couldn't face Landon again because I knew that a lecture would come with it.

Several minutes later Harry's car rolled into the driveway. He hopped out the driver side and looked at me for a minute.

“What? Is something wrong?” I questioned. He raised his eyebrow.

“No, not at all. You look gorgeous.” He walked around to the passenger side and opened the door. “My lady,” he said as he bowed. He tried to keep a straight face so I poked him in the side and he burst out laughing.

He told me about school, and how he was hanging out with Mackenzie and Layne a little bit. We avoided the topic of Mark, knowing it could ruin the night. Our conversation was easy and light. The silence was needed and normal. We listened to the music, both humming along.

I heard a familiar tune come on...

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live...

“Oh my word, I love this song!” we both said almost at the same time. We laughed and joined in, belting out the lyrics.

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you...

My voice began to hurt so I quieted down let Harry continue...

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world...

He continued to sing and my jaw dropped. He hit every note, his voice soaring through he song. I listened as he continued. I smiled as he realized I had stopped singing.

I punched him in the arm playfully, “Harry you are good. Like really good, why didn't you tell me you could sing?”

“Well first, ouch! Second, how was I suppose to tell you? Should I just introduce myself like that?” He joked. “Hi I'm Harry Styles, and I know how to sing. What's your name? Would that make you swoon Addi?”

I laughed and replied, “Yes actually, I would have been drooling at your feet. Your amazing. Encore, encore!”

He laughed, bowing in his seat. We were both laughing as we pulled into the parking lot.

“I'm glad I came.” I said, smiling as I looked into his eyes.

“Me too,” he said, winking.

Harry was different than most of my friends. He made me laugh like no one else could. When I was with Harry, I seemed to forget about all of the things that sucked in my life. He helped me forget.
