Two Faced

Finally the bell for the end of the day rang through the school speakers. Me and 25 others scooped their stuff of the desk while the teacher practically yelled our physics homework at us.
I raced to my locker and dumped in all of the books I wouldn't need for homework.

"Jules." I turned and saw Eleanor heading towards me.

"Hey." I smiled shutting my locker door. "Do you want a lift home?"

"Um." she shifted nervously foot to foot. "I was actually going to go to the gym."

I rolled my eyes. "Really?"I said exasperated. "Your going to creep over at my brother?"

She grinned sheepishly at me. "No i'm going to work out, but I can't help it if my eyes automatically go over to him."

I couldn't help but let out a small giggle.

"Don't laugh."

"Its hard not to."

"I think I preferred it when you stopped the conversation." El said quietly under her breath.

I ignored her. "I better go Harry's giving me a lift."

"Aw poor you 20 minute ride with the hottest guy in school, try and live through it."

"He's a dick." I pointed out.

She shrugged.

"Hey are you free 2 day from now?" I asked as I started to walk away.

"Famous Friday night party?"

"Yep." I said popping the p.

"Of course I'm free. I'll see you tomorrow, snap chat me later, kay?"

I nodded. "See you tomorrow." and with that I headed out to the parking lot where Harry was leaning against the car with about 5 girls surrounding him. Nicole and Ruby included.

"You ready to go?" I asked him as I got close enough.

He nodded and smiled down at me. "Sure Angel."

I walked around to the other side of the car and slid into the passenger seat and waited for Harry to finish his 'goodbyes.'

Getting rather impatient I flicked the window to tell him to hurry up. Finally he got into the drivers seat.

"Sorry Angel."

"Its fine." I said curtly.

"Do you mind if we take a detour to Tesco's? I just want to get something."

I mentally rolled my eyes. Every time when it was just me and Harry he always made an excuse to make the trip longer.
"Yeah that's fine." I said though.

"So how are Joseph and Liam?" He said in a casual tone.

I looked over at him in surprise. His face was hard.

"Um, fine. Why? You've never asked about my friends before?"

He snorted. "I think they want to be more then friends Angel."

"Oh shut up Harry, they don't."

"Whatever you say Angel."

5 minutes later he broke the silence. "Have you ever even kissed a guy Angel?"

I turned to look at him in rage. Who the hell gave him the right to ask me that?
"Harry shut your fucking gob." I said stonily and as soon as he pulled up outside Tesco's I was out and practically running into the store. I needed a break from Harry and it only had been 10 minutes. I walked through the automatic sliding doors and stormed off to a random isle that seemed to be full of crisps and some pasta shit. I stood their leaning against a random post for ages. After I had stoped fuming I kicked myself off the wall and turned towards the front of the store.
As I started to walk forward two guys looked at me in the isle in front of me. You know when you get that bad feeling about someone you’ve never talked too? The kind that fills your head with fear and panic. The kind that makes your palms sweat. The immediate thought that comes into your mind. Walk Away. I turned around and started walking towards in the opposite direction.

“Where do you think your going sweetheart?” A male voice hissed in to my ear. He grabbed my hand roughly.
“Yeah why don’t you come home with us?” Another voice snarled. I looked up and saw a man looking at me, his eyes were full of lust and they looked down at me as if I was object.

I pulled out my hand out of the males grip and took a step back. The 2 males weren’t all that muscular.Both of them were youngish late 20s, early 30s. On of them had grown an obvious gut while the other was skinny.

They took a step towards me. “I’m not alone.” I said shakily wishing that Harry was here.

“Oh really?” The skinny one said, “As I don’t see nobody.”
“My boyfriend is here.” I said trying to make the word ‘boyfriend’ threatening.

The male who had just spoke took a step towards me and ran a finger from my temple to my chin. “I think we’ll have a lot of fun with you sweetheart.”
“Get your hands off her!” A voice said that was too familiar to be true.

Harry. I almost fell to the floor with relief.
Harry shoved the guy who was touching me and he fell to the floor. I looked over at Harry whose face was distorted with fury.

The other man took one look at his friend and made a bee line to the exit.

“Don’t you ever touched her again!” Harry shouted leaning down at him who was shrinking away from Harry in fright.
Harry took a step towards him.I wanted the guy to pay for touching me but I also wanted to leave the shop and go to the safety of Harry’s and Louis car.

“Harry.” I said. He looked at me like he forgot I was there.

“I want to go.” I said strongly. Or I hoped strongly.

He nodded and for some reason nodded and took my hand and led me out of shop.

Once we got to the car I leant against it and took what felt like my first breath.

“Are you ok?” Harry asked.

I looked up and saw that Harry’s face that only a few minutes been full of fury and anger was now full of worry.

I nodded. “Thank you.”

He looked at me as if he was confused.
“For saving me.” I clarified.

“Anytime Angel.” He said softly.

Harry then walked round to his side of the car and got in. I followed in suit and sat down in the passenger seat.

Once I had buckled in I looked over at Harry who was for some reason looking at me.

Before I got a chance to ask why, he spoke.

“I got you something.” He said smiling. He reached into his skinny jeans pocket and pulled out a Cadbury Carmel and held it directly in front of me.

I grinned at him and snatched it playfully out of his hand.“Cheers.”

“Anytime Angel.”

By the time we got home the chocolate was unfortunately gone.

“I take it you’re coming in?” I asked Harry as he pulled up the drive.

“Of course.” He said grinning, putting his two dimples on show.

I rolled my eyes and got out of the car. “I won’t be much fun I’ve got homework.” I warned.

“That’s fine Angel.” Harry said cheerily.

I opened the door and went into the only home I had ever had and went into the living room and Harry followed. I sat down and switched on the mtv. Harry then sat down next to me so our legs and arms touched. I looked over at him who was smiling contently. I guess he’s now the Harry I know at night now.

“Harry?”

“Yes Angel?”

“Don’t you ever get sick of this house and not being at your own home?”

“No Angel.” He said smiling down at me.

Butterflies surprising filled my stomach. What was happening.

“Why?” I whispered.

“Because-“

“Juliaaa I’m home!!” Louis loud voice echoed through the walls. Harry immediately shifted away from me so he was sitting at the other end of the couch.

“In here Lou!” I shouted back.

I looked over at Harry who now just had a complete blank expression on. He then got up and walk out the room to Louis.

“Hey man!” I heard Harry say.

I sighed and let my head fall back against the back of the couch. What was getting into me? Your arms and legs touch and you get butterflies in your stomach? He has held you as you fall asleep since you were 12 and he was 14.

“Hey Jules.”

I looked up and saw Louis with Harry who sat down on the other couch, completely ignoring me.

“Hey Louis.” I said smiling. “How was the gym?”

He shrugged and sat down beside me. “It was fine. But it would be better if your friend stopped staring at me.”

I laughed. “Okay first of all, you love girls attention don’t say that you don’t and second she’s been my best friend for 4 years you could at least remember her name.”

“I do know her name.” he protested.

“Oh yeah?” I said narrowing my eyes challenging. “Then what is it?”

“Uh, um?”
I enjoyed seeing Lou shift nervously in his seat.

“Angel no-one cares what your friends called.” Harry said coldly.

I see someone’s had another character change.

“Correction you don’t care which to be quite frank isn’t everyone and not everyone here FWI me cares what you say or think as you’re a dick.” And with that I stormed upstairs and slammed the door.

What Harry said wasn’t that bad. It was bad but the fact that he had been basically kind less than 30 minutes before and was acting like a fuck wit angered me. I sat down at my desk and started the homework I had been given.

“Julia?” Louis called up 3 hours later.

“What?” I said still pissed off on what happened downstairs.

“Harry and I were going to order pizza, do you want any?”

My head perked up. Pizza? Hell yeah.

“Coming!” I yelled downstairs.

Now uncomfortable in my school outfit I went to my chest of draws and got out my 3 quarter black trackies and a white cropped singlet. I then opened the door and ran down the stairs. Unfortunatly my foot got caught somehow on my ankle and I felt myself flying forwards. To shocked to find a scream I brace myself for the impact.

But then my hands wrap tightly around something hard. My stomach then drags forward sliding against something hard. My feet were left dragging against the stair. I looked up and saw Harry.

“You alright there Angel?” He smirked his hands wrapping around my bare hips.

I shivered at his touch “I fell.” I lamely stuttered, lamely stuttered? What’s going on with you?

“I see that.” He said still smirking.He lifted me up so I was standing flat on my own two feet again.

I took a step back so I wasn’t in his grip.

“Pizza isn’t that great you know.”

I stared open mouthed at him.

He laughed.

“Never say that to me.” I said sternly and turned to go in the living room where Louis sat on the couch.

“Hey.” I said plopping myself down next to him.

“Are you done stropping?” He asked smiling.

“Shut up Lou.” I warned

“What pizza do you want?” Louis asked indicating to the pizza menu. “We were going to get it delivered.”

“Meat-lovers.” I said in a ‘duh’ tone.

“I told you so Lou.” Harry said sitting down on the other couch.“She always has that topping.”

Louis shrugged “Whatever Hazza.”

Why did he remember that? It seemed so strange that he remembered such a random fact.

“When is it going to get here?” I asked.

“Hold on Jules I haven’t even ordered it yet!”

“Right. Sorry.” I said sheepishly smiling slightly.

I looked over at Harry who was smiling as well. It was weird. Usually He is always a dick during the day or when we’re not alone sometimes even when we are he is.

2 hours later
“Right I’m stuffed.” Louis said chucking the remaining crust in the pizza boxes.

I let out a yawn. “I think I’m gonna go to bed.”

Harry looked over at me quickly.

“Yeah I think I’ll take off.” Harry said getting up.

“Why?” Louis asked confused. “It’s only like 9:30?”

Harry looked at me. I shook my head slightly mentally telling him not to if he didn’t want to.

“Sorry man but my mum wants to see me.” Harry said. He walked over to Louis and they did the handshake hug thing that guys do.

Harry and I walked out of the living together. Harry opened the front door. “I’ll be over in a few ok?”

I nodded and headed upstairs. I grabbed my pyjamas of black and white checked booty shorts and my white t-shirt with maroon red cut off sleeves and headed to the bathroom where I removed any remaining make up, brushed my hair and brushed my teeth. When I headed out of the bathroom Harry was already in my bedroom sitting on the bed on top of the white covers. He was on his phone scrolling through some shit. I couldn’t help but let my eyes linger on Harry’s bare chest. He had tattoos which he had got since his 18th birthday which was 2 months ago. Harry was a bit over a year and half older than me though I was in year 11 while he was in year 12.

I dumped my school clothes in the hamper while I folded up the clothes I was wearing and slung them on a random chair I had in the corner of my room.I then walked over to the bed and opened the covers and slid in. The movement of the bed made Harry look down.

“Hey Angel.” He said softly. He stood up and climbed into the covers next to me.

I propped myself on my elbows. “You didn’t have to leave Louis earlier, I feel bad as you can’t even hangout with Louis at night as I can’t stop having nightmares.”

“Oh I don’t mind Angel. I can’t sleep on my own anymore anyway.”

“Still..”

“Go to sleep Angel.” Harry advised me. He reached over and switched off the lamp so the room was now pitched black.

I let my head fall back on the 2 pillows. Dark blue pillow case on the bottom one and a white pillow case on the top pillow. I though since I’ve pretty much made Harry anti sleep resistant in his own bed the least I could do was not have really girly sheets.
“Harry?” I mumbled half asleep.

“Yes Angel?”

“Why are you nice to me at night and not in the day? And why were you nicer to me today?”

I couldn’t believe I just asked that but I wanted to go to sleep so I tried not to panic.

“Because Angel.” Harry said slowly. “Sometimes its just to hard to be a dick to you all the time when I don’t want to.”

“Then why do you?” I mumbled.

“Because I have to Angel.”

And then I was gone but not before I felt a strong arm pull me to him. I put my hand up so it rested on his bare chest.
