Addie walked beside Sam, Charlie leading the way down the street.

"So, you and Harry, huh?" Sam smirked.

"There's no 'me and Harry.'" Addie rolled her eyes, laughing a little.

"Why'd you guys kiss, then?" Charlie asked.

"I don't know." Addie shrugged. "Is there even an exact reason why people kiss?"

"Stop being so deep." Sam groaned, smacking the back of Addie's head.

"That's what she said?" Addie laughed, rubbing the throbbing pain.

"Are you sure about this Harry thing?" Charlie turned around, raising his eyebrows.

"It's not a thing, okay?" Addie stated. "Why are you so worried about this, anyway?"

"Because," Charlie stopped in front of his house and looked at it. "I don't want another someone on the List."

Addie scoffed. "He won't be, they have their own management."

"That better be right." Charlie pointed at Addie. "I'll see you tomorrow. Sam?"

"Oh, right," Sam nodded, walking to Charlie. "My brother's picking me up here."

Addie nodded and said her goodbyes. She started walking down the street when she heard the door of Charlie's house slam.

She kicked a stone as she walked, her hands in the pockets of Harry's Jack Wills hoodie. Addie bit her lip at the thought of Harry. He couldn't possibly end up being on the List for so many reasons even if Charlie and Sam say he could be. She, on the other hand, definitely didn't want him to be on it, but then people end up there not just by her choice.

Harry was definitely something to her. She loved his taste and his scent, how his eyes were such a rich color of green, his toned body so comfortable to lay with, his warm smile that could send a thousand butterflies in your stomach.

Addie hated how she kissed him back, or liking his kisses for the matter. She knew that all good things come to an end, and this in fact is the end.

She came to a stop when she reached her house. There wasn't a car in the driveway meaning both her parents were off at work--as usual--and she has the whole house to herself.

Getting the house keys from the pocket of her jeans, she made her way up the short brick stairs and to the front door, unlocking it with ease.

The household smelled like coffee, every wall a different colour. Couches pushed against walls and a television set on the other side. Addie went up the stairs and to her room, greeting her multicoloured striped room of purple, white, and green.

Addie plopped herself on the bed with a long sigh coming out of her mouth, staring at the white ceiling above her.

Thoughts about the people who were on the List came to view, and every person who she remembered gave her a shiver down her spine. Each person had something in common with Harry, scaring her even more about the possibility of Harry ending up in the List.

She was taken out of her thoughts from a loud thump outside her bedroom window. Addie knitted her eyebrows in confusion, slowly sitting upright on her bed, looking at the window.

There was an inaudible sound coming from outside, making Addie jump a little from her seat. She stood up slowly, walking over to her window. She pushed the curtain to the right and saw a faint hand print on the window.

Her heartbeat accelerated upon seeing the print that was surrounded by little snowdrops. Another noise came into her ear but there wasn't anything to see from her view but snow falling. She opened the window slowly, and took out her head, looking around. Another sound came and she was finally able to distinguish where the sound was coming from.

Harry laid down on the snow covered bush down at the ground, his body twisted in all the wrong ways.

''What the actual fuck, Styles?" Addie laughed loudly.

Harry let out a small groan from his bleeding lip. "Help,"

Addie shook her head with disapproval but closed the window and went out of her room, grabbing a first aid kit from the bathroom before going down the wooden staircase and out the door, laughing at Harry's state.

"You okay there?" Addie laughed, walking to the bush.

"What do you think?" Harry grumbled, attempting to sit up. He cried out with pain, falling back into the bush. "Why the fuck do you have rose bushes?"

Addie planted her hand on her hip. "I like them, okay? My dad and I planted them when I was six."

"Nice story," Harry nodded, licking his lips. His eyes widened when his tongue touched the wound at the corner of his mouth. "Shit, I'm bleeding!"

"Wait, calm down." Addie rushed over, stopping Harry from standing up. "Your leg is in a weird position. Don't move."

Harry rolled his eyes, his long fingers dabbing over the bleeding spot on his mouth.

He squeezed his eyes shut when Addie attempted to put his leg in a more proper position. The pain rushed through his leg and he started feeling nauseous when he realised that his left leg has been twisted into his left arm.

"Stay still," Addie hissed, slapping away Harry's hand when he tried to untangled his body himself.

Harry shouted in pain when Addie finally untwisted him, his head falling into the bush once more, making him shout in pain again.

He sat up straight, his hand immediately going to his back. He tried reaching for the painful spot but couldn't. "Addie!"

"What?" Addie looked up from Harry's leg, her eyes alert.

"Something's on my back!" Harry shrieked in panic. "Get it off!"

"Wait!" Addie stood up, going behind Harry. "I can't find it stop moving!"

"It hurts!" Harry screamed in pain, a high pitched noise coming out of his throat.

"Fucking stay still!" Addie demanded. "Where does it hurt?"

Harry's eyes were shut as he took off his white shirt quickly, pointing at every direction on his back. "There!"

"You're pointing everywhere!" Addie groaned, bending down to face Harry's back.

"Just fucking find it!" Harry hissed. "Do you think I can see my fucking back?"

"Well do you think I can fucking feel where it hurts?" Addie snapped, holding Harry's shoulders to keep him from moving.

He screamed in pain again, closing his eyes tight. "Holy fuck!"

Addie let go of his shoulders and her eyes widened. "Oh, shit."

"What?" Harry screamed in pain, his eyes still closed and his face facing the sky. "What is it?"

"Do you happen to be allergic to bees?" Addie said slowly, looking at the red spot on Harry's shoulder.

"A bee sting?" Harry shrieked.

"Calm down." Addie said, although seemed like she was convincing herself to calm down. "I need to take the stinger off first."

Harry breathed in as Addie's soft fingers went to his shoulder, pulling out the stinger quickly, receiving a noise from Harry's throat.

"Okay," Addie breathed out. "Can you breath properly?"

Harry nodded furiously.

"Are you dizzy?"

He shook his head.

"Anything itchy near your shoulder?"

He shook his head.

"Can you swallow properly?"

He swallowed and nodded.

"Okay," Addie nodded and stood up, going in front of him. She helped him get out of the bush quickly, Harry nearly falling over the patch of rocks beside the bushes.

"Thanks," Harry pressed his lips together.

"Funny," Addie shook her head. "We're not yet done, Curly."

Harry rolled his eyes and sat on a beach chair close to him. "What now?"

Addie smiled and walked over to him. She leaned down to look at his face. "I just need to check if you have any swelling."

She held his jaw in her hand, moving his face from left to right, down and up. She went down to examine his neck next, then his mouth.

"Alright," she nodded. She got a pill from the kit and handed it to him. "Take this."

"What's this?" Harry raised his eyebrows, taking the pill reluctantly.

"It'll help with the pain." Addie explained, giving him a water bottle.

The moment Harry swallowed the pill, Addie pulled him up by the wrist and brought him in her house, pulling him into the bathroom upstairs.

She pointed at the counter with a mirror and a sink. "Sit there and don't touch anything"

Harry followed and watched Addie reach up for the toothpaste in the counter above him, swinging his legs in the process. Addie handed him the toothpaste with a nod.

"Apply it on the sting." She demanded.

"How do you expect me to do that?" Harry raised an eyebrow.

Addie rolled her eyes and pulled him down from the counter and made his back face her. She applied the toothpaste slowly on the sting, Harry's shoulders tensing.

"Will you calm down, it's supposed to help with the pain, okay?" Addie hissed.

Harry cleared his throat. "Okay, sorry, carry on."

Addie applied a little bit more but noticed that Harry's shoulders were still stiff.

"For the love of god, what's the problem-"

Harry groaned and turned around, pushing Addie against the counter and pressing his lips against hers roughly.

Addie made a muffled noise under her throat and pushed him off of her, hands on his bare chest. "What was that?"

"Can you please not talk first?" Harry groaned, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"What was that?" Addie repeated, wiping off saliva from her mouth.

Harry shrugged. "I like kissing you."

He made another attempt to kiss her lips, but Addie turned her head to the right quickly, making Harry's lips fall on her cheek.

Addie shook her head and pushed him to the other side of the bathroom. "How did you even get here?"

"Followed you," Harry said simply with a small smile on his face.

Addie's eyes widened. "It is not nice to do that!"

"Addie," Harry started, "I still want us to be friends."

"Well, last time I checked, friends don't follow their friends into their houses, fall into bushes, get stung by a bee, and suddenly kiss them." Addie raised her eyebrow, hand on her hip.

Harry shrugged, leaning his back against the tiled lavatory wall. "I thought it would be like, you know, Rapunzel."

"Excuse me?"

"Well," he cleared his throat, "I overheard you talking to Zayn the other day that one of your favorite Disney princesses was Rapunzel from Tangled, so I thought it would be cool to like be your Flynn Rider or something and Niall would be Maximus and Zayn would be Pascal and Louis could be Gothel and Liam would be the flower because he probably doesn't want to join."

Addie giggled, wrapping her arms around Harry's neck. "That's why you followed me?"

"Yeah," Harry nodded, chuckling. "I didn't have the chance to do it back home so I thought, why not do it at your house since you are Rapunzel."

"Very thoughtful, Curly." Addie grinned.

"So," Harry wrapped his arms around Addie's waist.

"So?" Addie echoed, mocking him.

"Can you be my Rapunzel?" Harry whispered, his forehead on hers.

Addie smiled and tiptoed, closing the space between their lips. Harry pulled her closer from the waist, deepening the kiss.

"You can be my Flynn Rider," Addie whispered a few inches from Harry's lips, "and I'll be your Maximus."

Notes

DO YOU FEEL PAIN

My apologies to people who didn't get this chapter because they didn't watch Tangled.

You didn't watch Tangled.

Shame on you.

Anyway, sorry for the late update--I went to the beach. A road trip that lasted 12 hours and a boat ride for 2 hours then a car ride for about 30 minutes. We went island hopping. The joy of being in the Philippines.

I'll update soon I guess? If I don't get lazy? Yeah.

Comments make me happy!
