Meant To Fall || Harry Styles

Chapter 29 [Summer]

// Sooo, I finished school and I'm graduating on the 22nd. MTF is no longer on hold and I will resume writing. I can't believe High School is over for me. Oh, well. College is another door. Yeah.

Oh, and check out This is Our Story by yours truly (me). I'm writing it in original version and 5 Seconds of Summer version for my fellow 5SoS Fam. Check it out!

Okay, that was non-sense. I shall resume now. Okay. Enjoy. :-)

SUMMER:

*Saturday*

Translate into English:

1. ¿qué hora es?

2. Puedo usar el baño?

3. ¿Cuánto es esto?

4. --

I sighed. Who has homework on summers? Oh, right. ME. My Spanish tutor gave me a worksheet where I have to translate everything into English. I got up and put the paper aside. Screw it. I'll enjoy the weekend.

I decided to visit Harry in the One Direction house (the house they're staying at while they're in LA). I'll surprise him. I quickly changed into some casual clothes, grabbed my sling bag then knocked on Hallie's door.

"Summer?", she questioned as she opened the door. "Can I borrow your car?", I asked. "Why?", she asked me back. "I'm going to the 1D house to surprise, Harry," I told her.

She smirked. "Use protection," she handed me the keys from her pocket. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, Hallie," she said.

I went to the garage where Hallie's Volvo was parked. I got in and drove my way out of the house. I made a quick stop by Huckleberry to get some chocolate cupcakes and vanilla lattes. I put them all on the front seat and drove to the 1D house.

When I arrived, I rung the doorbell and then waited for someone to answer. When the door finally opened and it wasn't someone I expected. Heck, I didn't know who she was. She had long, dark hair and she looked like she was in her early 40's or something.

"Oh!", she said in surprise. "Um," I smiled slightly. "Hi. Is Harry here?" She nodded. "Yes," she said. "I'm Harry's mum, Anne." My eyes sort of widened. Oh, fudge! HARRY'S MOM.

"Mum," I heard Harry call. "What's taking so long? Did the--- Summer?!" I smiled a little. "I wanted to surprise you," I looked down. Harry looked at the boxes I was carrying and took them.

"You're Summer?", Anne beamed. I nodded and felt myself red. "Yes, mum," Harry answered as he wrapped his free arm around me. "This is Summer, my girlfriend."

"Hello," Anne held out her hand. "It's nice to meet you, Summer. Call me Anne." I shook her hand. "Nice to meet you," I said. Harry chuckled. "Let's get inside, yeah?", he said.

The boys, Eleanor and Anne were in the living room. They all greeted me when they saw me enter with Harry. I waved at them, then Harry took me out to the garden for a while.

"Sorry," I said immediately. "I just wanted to surprise you. I didn't mean to--" He cut me off with a kiss. As always, that's what Harry uses to shut me up. "It's okay," he beamed. "I was about to call you, to meet my mum."

"Stay for dinner?", Harry asked. "The other lads are meeting up with their family, except Louis, so it's just you, me, my mum, Louis and Eleanor at dinner." I nodded. "Why not?", I smiled at him. We both sat on the garden swing.

"Why are your families here?", I asked. "The SOML music video, remember?", he said. "Family's going to be there. My mum is." I nodded. "That's adorable, Haz," I ruffled his hair and kissed his cheek.

"I was telling my mum about you," Harry added. "you know." I blushed again. "Harry," I looked at him. "What if she doesn't like me?" He shook his head. "She'll love you," he smiled. "like I lo---" Harry paused and coughed. "She'll see what I see in you."

I beamed and gave Harry a hug. He hugged back and planted a kiss on my forehead. We stayed like that for a while. It was amazing. I'd never let go of moments like these. Me and him.

"Harry! Summer!", Anne called. "Join us for some supper!" Harry nodded. "We'll be there, mum!", he yelled then Anne went back inside. Harry got up. "Time to get to know my mum!", he said as he held out his hand. Hesitantly, I took it.

Time to get to know Anne. Man, I hope I don't screw this up. Aaahh.

HARRY:

"NO WAY!", Mum laughed at Louis' story. "Yup," Louis nodded. "Harry had to drag us all just so Summer would say yes to him." They all laughed and I blushed.

We were having dinner and Louis was telling my Mum the story of how I made Summer say 'yes' to hanging out with me. I remembered going through that BSE scenario all over again. Now, she's my girlfriend.

"It was cute," Eleanor smiled. "What movie did you guys see again?" They all looked at me and Summer. "'The Breakfast Club'," she answered. "Ahhh," Mum smiled. "That famous 80's movie!"

Summer nodded. "I love old films," she said. "They're so realistic and all. It's heartwarming." Anne smiled at her then at me. "So," Mum started. "Tell me more about yourself, Summer."

Eleanor, Louis and I watched as my Mum asked Summer stuff. Those typical let's-get-to-know-each-other-and-I'll-see-if-you're-good-enough-to-date-my-kid kind of questions.

"What do you want to know?", Summer asked. "How old are you?", Mum asked. "18," Summer answered. "Occupation?", Mum asked again. "Um," Summer started to fiddle with her hair. "College freshman in Madrid University?"

Mum smiled. "Impressive," she said. "What are you taking?" Summer smiled. "BFA English Literature, major in Writing," I said. Mum nodded all impressed. "I want to be a writer," she said. "I want to publish novels and such."

"You don't plan on entering showbiz?", Mum asked. Summer shook her head. "I'm already in showbiz as Ted and Mable Browning's daughter, and Hallie Browning's sister," she sighed. "but I don't want it that way. I want to write and get known for something I do, not because of my background."

Mum nodded. "That's admirable," she said. "You're a very independent woman, aren't you?" Summer shrugged. "I-I guess," she said and Mum chuckled.

The rest of the dinner went smoothly. I could tell Mum really liked Summer. She's not like most of the girls I've brought home. Summer is different. She doesn't throw herself on me, she's gentle.

"As much as I want to stay," Summer got up. "I have to go." Anne frowned. "Do you have to?", she asked. "I was just about to show Harry's baby pictures that I brought!" My eyes widened. "MUM!", I looked at her then Summer laughed.

"Maybe some other time, Anne," she said. "I really have to go. I'm so sorry." My mum got up and gave Summer a hug. "See you soon, darling." Summer nodded. "See you," she said.

Summer hugged Mum, Eleanor and Louis goodbye then she approached me. I hugged her and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

"Let me walk you to your car," I offered and she smiled. I walked her to Hallie's Volvo then she turned to me. "Good night," she said. "Your mom is amazing, by the way."

"Good night, Summer." I smiled. "I lo--" I had to stop myself while Summer gave me a questioning look. I can't tell her, not yet. "Good night," I pulled her in for a quick kiss.

"See you, Haz," she got in her car and drove back to her house.

I went back inside to see Mum in the living room. I sat beside her and she gave me a smile and a hug.

"I like her, Harry," she said. "She's very good. She's a keeper." I beamed. "I know, mum," I said. "that's why I love her." She pulled away and smiled.

"Treat her right," she said. "People like her are one in a billion. I can see the way she makes you happy. No matter what, don't let her go." I smiled and hugged my Mum again.

Don't worry, Mum. I won't. I will never let Summer go.
