It felt good sleeping next to Harry, I felt comforted and safe. Normally when we sleep next to each other one of us would always ends up rolling away and we'd wake up on separate sides of the bed but last night we stayed curled up together, he spooned me so his hand was securely wrapped around my stomach and our legs tangled together, I woke desperate to pee but not wanting to leave his grasp. Harry was such the perfect man that I felt if I disappeared for even a minute he'd be gone when I got back, it was like every moment with him was a dream that I never wanted to wake up from. I smiled to myself thinking of last nights antics, I know your probably thinking WHAT DID THEY DO? WITH ALL THOSE HOUSE GUESTS! Really? Ha, but it had been months since me and Harry had any physical 'action' so yeah...
It was amazing, he was a god. If anybody heard anything I would die of embarrassment! But we were obviously abit more tasteful than that! Hey I'm sure Izzy and Liam have been doing the same all week, or have they...
I carefully removed Harrys hand from my tummy as I made my way to the bathroom
"R O C K me again"
I jumped out of my skin at his husky voice, not realising I'd woken up him.
"Did I scare you?" He said looking proud of himself
"Yeah! You could say that" I replied unimpressed
"Not coming back to bed?"
"Nope. Time to get up curly boy"
"But I don't want to get up" he said in his childish voice
"That's cool, you stay in bed. I suppose I'll just ring my other boyfriend ZAYN and see what he's up to today" I said jokingly, laughing at how his eyes widened in shock.
"Gettin up!" He announced in reply to my joking threat
"Wow and I thought I would have to get a bucket of water over you! So what are we upto today?"
"Well what would you like to do birthday girl?"
"It's not my birthday yet! It's tomorrow!" I wish he'd just drop this birthday thing...
"It's your birthday all week! Well good thing I have plans for us"
I sighed
"What plans? I really don't wanna make a big fuss about it"
"I wanna take you to see your parents. I have another surprise for your birthday and I promise you will LOVE it"
I didn't doubt that I would love it, of course anything Harry ever gave to me would be absolutey amazing purely due to the fact it's from him, I just didn't want him to go out of his way. Really all he needed was to rest.
"We're going to Sheffield?"
"Yep. How's that sound?"
"Perfect!"
"I thought it would be good seen as I haven't really had an undramatic meeting with your parents yet so this is the perfect opportunity."
We got ready and headed off down the motorway to the north. I'd rang my mom and she was so unbelievably excited. I just hope she could keep her big mouth shut and hasn't told the whole street he's coming, it's a great feeling when their more excited about your boyfriend coming to visit than they are their own daughter. Suuuuuuuper.
The drive was pretty long and there was only so many games we could play to keep us occupied and whilst Harry was driving, that was quite restricting when I wanted to pla hangman.
"How are you feeling babe, with the wound and stuff?" I asked nervously, I knew Harry had been avoiding the shooting/Taylor subject.
"I'm fine, why are you worried?"
"No, I just want to check you're okay. You'd tell me if not right?"
"You'd be the first to know." He said reassuringly.
"Soooooo what are we doing on my birthday?" I asked knowing full well there wasn't a chance in hell of me finding out, Surprise Styles he should be bloody called.
"Nothin' for noseys" told you!
"But baaaabe!"
"Nope. My lips are sealed. I love to surprise you"
"I know you do, NY, LA, Bahamas... The list is never ending"
"Ahhhhh the Bahamas" a smile spread across his perfectly pink lips. So kissable!
"That was a good week wasn't it?"
"The best time of my life"
"Really?!" I was so taken back that I was apart of 'the best time of his life'
"Of course Si, that's when we got together properly, my life has changed so much since you've been in it. You've brought me to life"
I smiled uncontrollably. Feeling a little bit proud inside.
"I love you Harry"
"And I love you" he quickly leaned over and planted a kiss on my cheek, his curls tickling my cheeks softly.
"Harry, can I ask you something?"
"Anything" he would probably regret saying that
"What happened with you and Taylor? I mean, when you were together and before all of this..."
He sighed shaking his head, I felt like I maybe shouldn't have asked that question but it would always ponder on my mind if not.
"I guess there's nothing to hide now. You comfortable?" He joked
"Go ahead"
"I met her through friends of friends and she seemed like a pretty cool girl, I'd heard of her before obviously because she's an international superstar. We took a photo together that quickly got around the whole of the Internet and management were saying we looked good with each other but I didn't think anything of it. Anyway a couple of weeks later one of her friends that I knew asked me if I would take her out on a date while Taylor was in London so at the time I thought hey why not, what do I have to lose? So I took her out and she was extremely chatty about herself, which began to get a little over bearing because it was like she didn't know when to stop but despite that I thought she was pretty cool. We exchanged numbers and she'd text me if we were in the same city and we'd meet up, management kept pushing me to start dating her but I just thought she was pretty, I didn't really think much of her personality, she was kind of self absorbed and I'm not really into that. I guess the more time I spent with her I got on with her more and she asked if we could start dating, so I said yeah. Now this is going to make me sound like a complete arse but I just wasn't devoted to her and the feelings weren't as strong for her as hers were for me. So I kissed another girl, I'd be lying if I said it was a drunken mistake because it was intentional, she found out but she got 'over' it pretty quick and said that we would give things another try. At this point I felt sorry for her, she must really wanna be with me if she'd still go forward after I cheated, so I felt I was being too harsh on her maybe and I'd give it ago. Big mistake. Never in my life have I ever met someone so demanding. When she'd play concerts she'd make me wait backstage and I wasn't even a fan of her songs, she forced me to meet all her family, would make me fly places with her instead of the other lads and she would turn into the green eyed monster if girl fans were around. I went to spend New Years with her at her demand and then we went to the Caribbean afterwards. Anyway this one night I had been chatting to the locals and having a few drinks but she wanted to stay in and read, when I arrived back at the hotel room she was furious so that caused an argument, and then I got a text from a girl who I was friends with at school saying 'hope you had a good new year' and she just flipped and went crazy, she fled the island and I didn't chase after her cos I didn't care enough, we had no contact and then I met you weeks after, and fell in love and she didn't like that at first she thought she was still in for a shot but then she realised me and you were the real thing and she used you to get to me, she said if I didn't pose as her boyfriend she'd kill you and it wasn't until I found out she had out Hayden upto the stabbing how serious she was"
He took a big long deep breath after his speech
"Wow. I didn't expect any of that, with how batt shit crazy she is I imagined you two were madly in love"
"No, quite the opposite on my part" he said jokingly
"I'm sorry that you got shot because of me, she obviously had nothing but love for you and she couldn't take it that I was in her place. Every girl has been in this position once in their life and she just took it to the extreme"
"See this is what I love about you, you're so understanding even to the people who are so so bad"
"I don't understand why she would choose to kill me but she's just hurting guess"
"She should still be locked up and the key should get thrown away"
"You got that right, maybe I'd be able to sleep better at night then"
About an hour later we pulled up at my parents house in Sheffield, I laughed at my broken down car sat hopeless on the driveway. I think I'd better face the facts that I was probably never going to drive that thing again. We walked in to my parents house to be greeted by my over excited mom hugging and kissing us both, my dad gave my a big hug and shook Harrys hand.
"Someone else is here too" my mom announced
"Oh you don't say, I expected the whole street to be here if I'm honest"
And then a very fimiliar face walked down the stairs heading for us. I rang and gave him a massive hug. My brother.
"What are you doing here?!" I asked tears rolling down my cheeks. He'd been travelling for 9months now, he didn't even come home for Christmas
"Well in all honesty, I ran out of money, but I thought I'd come home to see my baby sis!"
"Whatever! I said punching him in the arm
"You not going to introduce us?" He asked
"Harry this is Josh, Josh, Harry"
"You doing good Bro?" They had like a handshake/ manly hug thing going on
"Nice to meet you pal." Harry politely replied
"Come on everyone, I've made a chicken dinner." My mom said leading the way to the dining table
"My favourite!" Harry chipped in, oh yeah very smooth!
We all sat down and dug in to the delicious meal my mother had served up for us.
"I can't believe my baby is 18 tomorrow!" My mother said with a shaky voice
"I don't know why you're so shocked Lisa, she's been living away from home for the past year" ahhh good old Dad, no emotion what so ever!
"Oh yeah, about that" I began as I saw Harrys eyes look into mine and his eyebrows raise, abit nervous about my announcement
"What is it sugar?" Mom asked
"Well erm, me and Harry, erm we've decided I'm going to move in to his house with him. All the time, you know I've been stopping there since I left the flat but Izzy's moving in with Liam soon and I didn't really want to live alone so yeah, we've decided to move in together" I avoided eye contact it's everybody at the table. Harry just nodded in agreement whilst holding my hand tightly under the table, it was cute that their approval meant so much to him.
"Well I think that's fabulous darling, you two are perfect together and he does take good care if you!" My mom reassured us, a big weight had just lifted off my shoulders.
"You're almost 18 now sweetie you don't have to double check all the time" my dad said.
"I just wanted to run it by you."
"Sucks that my little sister is living with her boyfriend and I'm still with the parents" my brother joked making the rest of us laugh as well.
After the gorgeous dinner we all went and sat in the living room to sit down and chat.
Harry flattened his shirt down and cleared his throat.
"Mr Mills, could I possibly speak with you alone for a minute?" He said nervously
"Of course son." They left the room leaving me in panic. What on earth would they want to talk about alone? I felt my heart begin to increasingly beat faster as I ran through hundreds if scenarios in my head. A knock on the door interrupted my state, I thought to myself if my dad answers the door this would put a stop to their private conversation, but of course my mother got up to answer the door. Damn.
"No, no. Nothing to see here gentlemen now if you could please leave we're having a family get together." Me and my brother looked at each other confused, who was my mother talking to or trying to get rid of. I stuck my head around the door to nosey who she was talking to and was completely shocked to see two men in a police uniform.
"It's the police!" I turned around and informed my brother, what would the police want?
"Please Mrs Mills, we know he's in here. Let us in before we have to take further action"
Within seconds my father and Harry had also overheard the conversation and the kitchen door swung open.
"What's happening here?" My dad asked as confused as the rest of us. The police shoved their way past my helpless way and headed towards the kitchen.
"Excuse me you can't just barge into our house that way?" I yelled. What were they doing ruining our lovely afternoon, I'd seen enough police officers in the last few months to last me a life time.
They completely ignored me and made their way to Harry.
"Mr Styles we're arresting you for peverting the course of justice. You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you may later rely on in court" the police man handcuffed him as he spoke. We all stood there in complete shock, including Harry.
"You must have got the wrong person, I'm sorry just please let him go this is an innocent man" my mom protested, her voice shakin and tears in her eyes.
"If this is about the shooting he's innocent he was the victim in all of the please please PLEASE take them handcuffs off of him" I pleaded tears rolling down my face.
I looked at Harry and he had a look of shock and confusion on his face but I could tell he was trying to be as brave as he could be for me.
"Miss Mills if you could please calm down."
"How do you even know my name?!" I yelled at the officer trying to restrain me from getting to Harry.
"This is what the arrest is about, we are protecting you. It seems this man knew an attacker was after you but did nothing about it and played along like it was a silly game. You might be trying to save him but I'd say he's the criminal." He turned to Harry with discgust in his eyes. "You should be ashamed, she's a young girl with her life ahead of her"
"I didn't do anything..." Harry said looking at the floor. What was happening he was my hero not the villain. I grew angrier at the officers words and launched myself at him. I wasn't a violent or aggressive person but I began slapping my hands on his jacket begging him to let my innocent Harry go, he couldn't be taken away from me I'd only just got him back.
"Please refrain yourself miss or we will take you to the station also" my dad and brother pulled me off of the police officer.
"Please please just take me don't take him he's innocent"
The men began to lead Harry to the police car. I chased after them yelling
"You don't understand he didn't tell the police because he was protecting me she would kill me if he did please please. Don't do this don't take him away from me. PLEASE" I sounded desperate. And I've never felt so desperate in my life, it was like no matter how loud I screamed they didn't listen. They pushed a silent Harry in to the back seat of the police car. He looked out of the window and mimed 'I love you'.
I fell to my knees and screamed at the top of my lungs
"He's innocent, they can't take him away from me mom they just can't he saved me he took a bullet for me. THIS ISN'T HIS FAULT" I nearly made myself sick with crying so hard. Why was it that every time I got him back he was taken from me? But they weren't getting away with this I would prove he was innocent even if it was the last thing I would do.
"Come on, we're going to the police station. We're getting him out of there" My dad said sternly.
Hayden and Taylor we're going to pay for this, I swear I had never felt so angry in my whole entire life. They had almost killed the love of my life and now they were blaming him for their dirty work?
But then a sense of reality hit me, as I made my way to my dads car.
Even if in my eyes and everybody else's eyes he was the hero, what he had done was illegal. He'd let this go on without telling the police, he was protecting me of course, but it was still against the law and the thought of him being locked away with the likes of people like Hayden, honestly scared the life out of me.
