Harry's Pov

The sound of popcorn crunching in my ear makes me twitch. This guy sitting next to me just can't seem to eat with his mouth closed and it's aggravating me more and more. I turn my position in my seat and lean towards Naomi, who's currently staring at the large screen ahead. I don't know why I'm here, I'm not a cinema type of guy but I agreed to come here for her. The thing is Naomi and I have been in a complicated on and off relationship for a few months now. She's tall with an awesome figure and has silky long blonde hair that she often styles in curls. Her electric blue eyes are my weakness, she knows how to use them to get what she wants. But she doesn't get everything, she doesn't really get me. That's how we become complicated, I don't let people in too easily.

"That wasn't as good as I thought it would be" Naomi says a she sits up and starts to stretch her arms out as the lights suddenly come on. I look at the screen and didn't even realise the film is over.

"Yeah it sucked." I say as I stand up. I look at her as she grabs her bag and straightens her clothes out. I start to follow people out of the room and I feel Naomi's hand reaching for mine. I pull back as I never hold hands with a girl, it's not my sort of thing. I've always suffered with being emotionally involved and it's always made things slightly harder when it comes to girls.

"Come here babe.." Naomi says as we walk outside into the fresh cold air. It feels so good to be out of there. I put my hands in my pockets and start to slowly walk. "Harry!" Naomi snaps as she walks beside me, I look at her.

"What?" I ask as I turn to her, she frowns at me and shakes her head. She stops walking and puts her arms out in disbelief. I stop and shrug as I look at her slightly puzzled.

"We've just had a really nice evening and you still won't hold my hand. How long have we been together?" She asks as her hands now fall onto her hips.

"Naomi.." I start but she frantically shakes her head. I roll my eyes in frustration and run a hand through my hair.

"Don't Naomi me! I'm fed up with you not showing me any affection. I'm your girlfriend!" She snaps and I walk towards her. I lower my voice so the passing people don't hear me.

"You're not my girlfriend Naomi, we're just dating! How many times do we have to go over this?" I say sternly as I just want to get home. She shakes her head and her voice does the opposite to mine, the pitch level changes slightly. I stop listening as I notice someone walking behind me, I turn around and Naomi stops talking.

"Well well if it isnt Styles and Miss Naomi Walter. Your're looking beautiful tonight I must add!" Aaron says as he walks towards us smirking, he's with two of his mates, Stan and Brad. Aaron Smith is the biggest idiot that lives in our town. Him and his friends think they are better than everyone else. The truth is they are complete idiots, who are usually strolling around thinking they are tough.

"Hi Aaron." Naomi says as she fold her arms whilst looking at him. I look at her and frown.

"Come on.." I say as I pull Naomi to walk with me. Aaron stands in my way shaking his head. I'm not in the mood for this tonight. I grit my teeth as I try to keep as level headed as I can.

"Don't be so rude Styles" Aaron says as he looks at Naomi and lets his eyes wander down her body. I feel anger in the pit of my stomach start to rise. "You know you should be on a date with me, not pretty boy." He laughs. Stan and Brad laugh with him, Naomi tucks a piece of hair behind her ear and smirks at him. What the fuck?

"Back off.." I say as I pull Naomi behind me. I feel her try to push me away. "Looks to me you're already on your date." I smirk and Aaron frowns. I stare him in the eyes as I clench my fists.

"What did you just say?!" Aaron asks as he becomes face to face with me. I smirk and look away as right now I just want to be away from these idiots. "Don't ignore me Styles." He adds.

"Fuck off Aaron." I snap as I look at him, he tries to get closer to me but I'm not intimidated one bit. His disgusting alcoholic breath makes me feel a little sick. Aaron stumbles back and starts laughing.

"You think you're so har-" I cut him off as I punch him in the face. He falls straight down to the floor and I shake my hand at the force I'd just created. Brad and Stan look at me unsure whether they should do anything. I shake my head and walk away.

"Aaron! No!!" I hear Naomi scream and I fall to the floor. My face smacks onto the concrete and I feel several kicks pound on my body, I curl my head down to my chest, avoiding being hit. They suddenly stop and I hear Naomi screaming.
"Harry!!" Naomi shouts as she crouches down and strokes my head. She's hysterical and tries to help me up but I shrug her off. I slowly stand up and wipe my nose with the back of my hand, hot blood stains my skin. I feel my ribs burn which makes it a little harder to stand up right. I look around and there is no sign of Aaron, Brad or Stan. I notice a few people passing by, some giving me worried looks.

"Harry stop, you're bleeding" Naomi says as she puts her arm around my waist. I shrug her off and stop as I look at her worried face.

"No shit!" I shake my head. "Why did you have to be so flirty?" I snap as I walk away before I hear her reply back at me.

"I tried to help you Harry!." She shouts after me. I stop and turn to her. How does she have the nerve to say that. She's supposed to be with me, so she should back me up. But no, Naomi wants everything to about her.

"You were smirking when he said you should be with him! How fucking loyal is that? I'm telling you now Naomi, that's why we weren't together, just leave me alone." I shout back and turn away, i can hear her crying as she tries to convince me not to leave her. I ignore her and I make my way home this time without stopping.

I stumble through the front door as the walk didn't help at all. I stop in the hallway and lean back on the wall and close my eyes. I sort my breathing out and as it hurts every time I breathe in.

"Harry?" Mum says as she see me. I open my eyes and look at her. "Oh my god!" She cries as she quickly rushes to me. She gently brushes the hair out of my eyes and studies my face, I look away from her. "I thought this was stopping, you promised no more fights." She stands away from me as she wipes her eyes.

"Well I can't help if people just attack me in the street." I snap as I walk slowly towards the stairs. "We live with Jerks."

"You are getting checked at the hospital" Mum says as she grabs her coat and I hear her pick her keys up. I look at her and stop.

"No, I'm going to bed to rest this off. " I say as I look back to the stairs and grab hold of the handle rail as I climb the stairs.

"Harry!" Mum snaps and I refuse to listen. I keep going. "Stop, now!" She adds and I do the opposite. "Okay, fine. That's it I have had enough of this. I can't keep waiting up for you wondering if you will walk through those doors or whether it will be the police. Can you not see how much pressure and worry you're causing to me. You need a fresh start Harry otherwise something so bad will happen." She cries and I stop and look at her.

"I'm not going anywhere Mum, I'll be okay.." I say as I reach the top of the stairs. She shakes her head.

"No, I need to help you, for once and for all " She says. I turn away and open my bedroom door. My Mum has threatened to send me away before to a friend of hers who apparently can help me but I know she won't.

The problem is this is happening too often, Me getting into scraps. My Mum doesn't understand me, she forever questions me on where her little 'baby' has gone and how much she wants him back. I don't go out and purposely start a fight with someone, I just end up clashing with people who always want to start trouble.

At school and College I was popular, I still have a lot of friends now. But there's an amount of guys that just hate me, mostly because their girlfriends never leave me alone. I think Naomi is the worst. She's always flirting with guys and then she's making out with me, I'm always fending off guys who like her. I don't know why I keep doing it, maybe it's the fact she's one of the hottest girls that I know, or maybe it's because I've grown to like protecting her and getting into a fight? Tonight however was different, I saw the way she looked at Aaron; she completely failed me.
It's not worth thinking into, I don't have the patience or energy to try and figure all this shit out. So I kick my shoes off and pull my t-shirt above my head, the pain soaring through me. I leave my trouser on and I fall on to my bed; I wait a few seconds andclose my eyes.

Notes

So if anyone does read this, I hope it wasn't too bad?
