Casual Encounters (Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Three Hours Gone

Thalias POV

My body is shaking all over. My face twitches and my hand involuntarily reaches up to itch my nose. Ah, the dandelions are tickling my nose. I'm wearing a long white dress while running through a huge grassy field. The high grass rubs against my leg, creeping under my dress. The light wind blows my hair in a cloud behind me. The sunshine shines on my shoulders slightly burning my fair skin. I feel so free, like a bird flying away. I run faster letting the breeze tingle my arms. I suddenly trip and plummet into the ground. I cry out, It feels as if a weight has been dropped on my shoulders. I wither in pain as heavy objects are dropped on me. I start crying, tears stream like hot lava on my skin. A scream rips through my throat, I want to leave! Get me out of here!! I let go, letting the weight win, letting it crush me. My eyes close slowly.

I'm shaken awake, and I come too staring at a bright blue shirt. What the heck? Is this what heaven looks like? I feel hands on my shoulders shaking me repeatedly. I turn to see Harry looking at me with concern.

"Wh..hat happened?" I whispered.

He seemed relieved that I can communicate. "Oh thank God! you dozed off on my shoulder and looked so peaceful that I didn't want to wake you. Then everything changed, you started tossing and turning. I started lightly shaking you just to make sure your OK, then you started screaming and crying. I pulled you close to me, and shook you really hard. You seemed to wake up, but like you were still in a trance. Finally, you snapped out of it and returned to normal." He said in a hurried voice.

Well, at least I'm not dead, I thought. I can't believe he had seen me like that. Gaven hadn't ever seen me like that and we'd been dating for two years. I guess I'm just more comfortable around Harry. I had to have let my guard down to sleep on a stranger's shoulder. Maybe he wasn't as much of a stranger as I want him to be.

Realizing I had zoned out again I quickly said, "What about the game we haven't finished yet. If I remember correctly we had 18 questions left." I purposely leave out the question he asked pertaining to family, as I'd prefer to forget that one.

It felt good to talk to someone again. I had been alone for far to long, I was craving human interaction.

He smiled, lighting up the whole room. "OK, how about... Your first kiss?" He said knowingly. Leave it to him to bring up kissing. He's such a player.

I rack my brain for a fake answer. I officially decided to not open up to him. My secrets would stay right where they are. "Umm I-"

"No, let's not lie to each other. Let's make this a completely honest game. If you absoulutly can't answer the question then the other person has to answer it. If they do, then you lose." Harry said, cutting me off.

Damn, he caught me. I have always been competitive, so its not like I can just lose this game. I guess Harry was just going to be submerged in my crappy life. A part of me was relieved that I finally have a chance to talk to someone else, bit I quickly squelched that part.

I looked him in the eyes challengingly. "OK I except the terms of this game. I promise to be completely honest. My first kiss was when I was 9." I said, confidentially. Please don't ask, please don't ask!

"Wow, that's young tell me about it"

Ugh, I thought I could give him a half truth and it would be good enough. "It was by my foster dad... That was probably the fifth or sixth foster house I had been in, and I liked the family well enough. He asked me into the living room when my foster mom was gone. He took me by the waist and forced himself on me. It was the worst moment of my life up till then." I whisper, getting quieter and quieter as the story progresses.

I turn away, not able to look at Harry. All I'd see is sympathy, God I hate sympathy! My eyes find the blinking light of the police button on the elevator door. The numbers start to blur as tears fill my eyes. Gosh, why do I freaking cry this much! I swipe my tears like there pesky bugs. Harry has broken my sarcastic shell I put up so people don't get to me.

I feel my feet leave the ground as I'm engulfed in a huge hug. Harry strokes my hair, his cool fingers causing me to shiver. He whispers sweet nothings in my ear. I hope he realizes it won't be okay, no matter how many times he says it will.

"OK enough crying, yeah my life sucks I already know that! When was yours?" I say pushing away from Harry. I take a few steps away, composing myself. I turn back to him and wait for his response.

He looks like a bull in a China shop, afraid to move incase he breaks something. He clears his throat,"Uhh mine was a couple years ago with my first girlfriend nothing to exciting." He looks at me like a child, that got smacked.

I feel the anger rising in the pit of my stomach. This always happens, one mention of someone's perfect life and I'm ready to punch something, or cry, but maybe that's just me PMSing. My hands ball up in fists, my nails dig into the tender flesh of my palm. I slowly breathe in and out trying to relax myself. "Oh, that's good" I say through my teeth. I have to remind myself, I'm not mad at Harry I'm just jealous of his life!

He looks at me questioningly, "Did I miss something? Are you mad at me?" He seems so sad I let out a chuckle.

"No Harry I'm not mad at you" I say with a sarcastic smile, walking closer to Harry. "I'm mad at the world!" I scream, "I'm mad that I got this freaking awful life! I'm mad that your so perfect and I'm not! I'm mad that your more committed to me then my ex boyfriend was! I'm just mad! I'm so mad!" I bang my fist against Harry's chest every time I finish a sentence.

"Can I ask a question? I know it's not my turn" I whisper.

"Of course" he says

"Would you want to stay in touch if we ever get out of here?" I blink up through my eyelashes, looking deep into his eyes awaiting his response.
