I grab a couple of onions and begin to peel them. I'm on auto pilot as I help Mum cook tea; but my mind is fixed on Harry.
He doesn't look like the sort of guy to be in trouble and getting into fights, he seems too polite. I was expecting him to be slightly rude and stubborn, but so far he's been quite good mannered. My parents are so fond of him already it's as if they have forgotten the reason to why he is staying with us.

"Jed, can you call Harry down?" Dad asks as he looks to Jed who is currently peeling potatoes. Jed nods and puts the peeler down and walks out of the kitchen.

"Go and chill out Honey, I'll sort this tonight." Mum says and her words surprise me. I don't question her and smile as I leave the kitchen, thanking her on my way out. I pass Harry and Jed who seem to be talking about football as I hear the name of a player. Harry smirks at Jed and shakes his head.

"Harry! I thought I'd show you the studio! Follow me!" Dad says as he looks at Harry smiling. My Dad loves his music studio, he often has local bands coming over to do recordings, sometimes I think Dad wishes he worked with more well known artist. But we often have so many artist walking in and out of here, he doesn't do bad at all.

"Catch you later Jed." Harry says as he walks past me, he looks at the floor as he ruffles his hair with his hand. I try not to look as I head upstairs, I end up running up half way. I sit at my computer desk and I log into iChat. I see Amy online.
We start typing and she's going on about some guy from college, I have no idea who, she's always finding new guys to crush on. She finally turns round and asks what's going on at my house as I text her earlier explaining we have a family dinner tonight. I type and I start to mention to Harry. But Amy's reply isn't what I thought, she sounds quite wary and suddenly my phone rings. It's her. I answer.
"Hey" I answer and Amy quickly responds.
"So this Harry guy, how are you guys meant to help him?" She asks. I stand up and start to walk around as I answer her.
"He just needs a break and we are letting him stay here. Hopefully it will help him." I say and she goes quiet.
"And you used to know him?" Amy asks. I laugh.
"Sort of, but he was ten when I last saw him. He's changed a lot, he's.." I stop as I don't know whether it's a good idea to say that I think he's cute. "He's quite good looking." I say and she sighs.
"You like him?" She asks.
"No, I just said he is handsome cos he isn't ugly. Doesn't mean I like him like him." I shake my head as I ramble on.
"Okay good, we've only just got you over Jason who as you was the biggest idiot-" I stop her there.
"Amy I don't like Harry so you don't have to worry. I better go, I'll call you later." I say as I lean over my desk and turn my computer off.
"Okay, bye Steph" Amy says a little warily.
"Bye Amy" I smile as I hang up. She's such a worrier but I suppose that's a good thing, she's just looking out for me.

I grab my hair brush and band from my dressing table, I sit down on the stool and tie my hair back in a ponytail. I look at my reflection studying my face, I'm tempted to top up my make up but then I'd look a bit suspicious at dinner if I'm staying in. I sigh to myself as I don't know what's got into me. I then think, I can look on Harry's Facebook just to see hat he's into as it would be good to know who I'm living with.
I type in Harry Styles in the search bar on Facebook as I look down at my phone, I wait for the page to load. I spot his picture instantly, I click his name.

Theres a couple of status updates that he has wrote, a couple cause my heart to sink as I read:

Some Pricks in this area seriously need to move. You're making the place look ugly.

This morning is the biggest joke, not happy at all.

That one must be about him having to come here as he wrote that at 10:20am. I scroll down and stop as I see a few comments from a girl called Naomi Walter. I read:

Can't wait for date night Babe! Love you so much xxx

Then I see a picture she has linked Harry in, it's them two hugging as they are watching fireworks. Harry is smiling as he looks down at her, who is cuddled into him as she rests her head on his chest. Harry has a girlfriend.

I feel so stupid. Why did I allow myself to get caught up so quickly into a guy I don't really know. Plus she is so stunning it makes me feel even more stupid. I close the tab and lock my phone as I place it on my dressing table. This isn't like me, I don't look at a guy and start to like them this quickly, so why should I start now. Plus Harry is trouble, I can't get involved with someone like him. He may wash my parents over with his charm but I need to keep level headed. There is a reason to why he is staying with us, and it isn't exactly a good one.

Harry's Pov

"Mr May this is awesome!" I say as I hover over random buttons and switches. As much as I'm still pissed off being here, I have to admit this room is insane.

"Please Harry, call me Ryan." He says as he looks at me smiling, I nod and look back at the studio. I can see myself sitting here on my own, there's something about this room that feels so comforting.

"You must live in here." I ask as I look at Ryan who has his arms folded, he laughs.

"Yep, Susan often comes in and tells me I've been too long. But I love it in here." Ryan says as he sits next to me. "I want you to feel like you can come here anytime. Your Mum has sent you here to help find yourself. This room can really help." He smiles. I look away as the mention of Mum is still a little raw.

"I hope so, I mean I was fine back at home!" I say a little sternly, Ryan smiles as he nods.

"I know, but your Mum wasn't." Ryan says and I look at him and slowly nod. He's right, Mum wasn't fine, but it still doesn't make this all okay. I'm being polite because of Mum, if they weren't family friends, I'd be driving them crazy by now.

"Sorry guys, dinner is ready." Susan says as she opens the door and smiles.

"Right okay." Ryan says as he looks up at her. He then looks back at me. "We will go over some more tomorrow." He adds.

"Yeah sure." I say as I force a smile, I stand up and follow Ryan and Susan to the dining room. I look at Jed and to Stephanie. She doesn't look at me. I shrug it off as I look at the dinner placed on the place mat.

"Take a seat Harry.." Susan says politely, I nod and sit down opposite Stephanie.

"Thank you for dinner." I say as I smile at Susan, she smiles and tells everyone to tuck in. I do as instructed and I look to Stephanie who is looking at her plate as she eats. I guess she doesn't like to disguise how much she doesn't want me here.

"So how's Gemma?" Susan asks as he looks at me. I look at her and smile.

"She's fine, she graduated from university." I say and Ryan and Susan nod impressed. "It's been a long time since we've seen you guys." As I say this Stephanie glances up, I can see her looking at me from the corner of my eye.

"I know it's a shame, you kids used to play so well together. " Susan says and I can't help but look at Stephanie.

"I know, I remember you well." I smirk as she looks away, I look at Jed who nods with a smile. The conversation continues and I look to Stephanie. Does she remember how well we used to get on? We were closer than the others realised. I try to get her attention to see if she remembers, but she won't look up to me. Looks like I may have more fun here than I realised.

Notes

Will Stephanie remember her past with Harry and what happened when they were kids? Will Harry start to find his inner self through Stephanie? Or will this just turn out in one big mess?
