Harry's POV
I pulled my jacket tighter around my figure as I walked up the steps to my home. I had no idea what I was going to do about Lacy.
I wasn't even dating this girl and she already has me wrapped around her finger.
I'm whipped, and that's something I have never been before so both of us have some getting used to.
I need to do something to get her back and her and I both know it's going to he far from easy. I don't know how to have a girlfriend, but I could work on it and eventually maybe, possibly be a good boyfriend.
Maybe I should just ask her out?
I decided that's what I will do, because I want to make Lacy Montgomery my girlfriend.
Lacy's POV
I don't understand. I don't understand why Harry hasn't tried to talk to me. I don't understand why he didn't chase after me. I don't understand.
Part of me wants to cave in and call him, but part of me is wrong. I am not caving. He is going to be the one who tries to make things right with me. I'm done.
The power in the relationship lies with the one who cares less.
Aint that the truth?
Here I am practically crying in my head for Harry to come back to me. And I know all Harry has to do is come to my doorstep or even call me and he has me back. But he won't do that...
Because he cares less.
So here I am, being the emotionally distraught girl.
I picked up my phone and realized I had a message from an unknown number.
I opened it and it read;
I know seeing a message from an unknown number may make you worry, but dear, to find me you must be in a hurry. Come to the park and don't be afraid, I'll be waiting on you just like a maid.
P.S. I'm not a poet.
I laughed at the interesting message before pondering if I wanted to go or not.
I have nothing to lose, but what if it's someone that wants to kill me?
I have no idea who it could be but I am going to find out.
I was assuming it was the park closest to my house so I slipped on my shoes as headed out the door.
The cold air blew my hair back as I kept my head down to try to build up some warmth. I really didn't like this weather.
When I got to the bench, I found a note taped on it. I ripped it off and picked it up and it read;
I'm not even going to try to rhyme. Just come find me. I'm by the river...
I crumpled up the note and threw it in a trash bin next to the metal seating. I mustered up as much courage as I could and headed towards the river.
Everything looked plain, dark, and boring. It was so dark I could never find someone in this place. Just when I thought I might as well just turn around, there were lights that made a runway through some trees. I assumed it was for me, so I took the path. Once I was at the end, I saw a boat, or canoe, sitting on the dock.
I looked around for a little bit and confusion was written clear on my face.
"Lacy.." I heard a voice tremble quietly.
I turned around and was met with the same vibrant green eyes I have missed, as much as I didn't want to.
"What is this?" I asked, gesturing towards the canoe.
"Will you take a ride with me?" He asked gently.
I sighed and walked towards the canoe. After putting on the life jacket, I hopped in and waited for him to join me.
He eventually got in and sat across from me before pushing us off into the water. It was awkward at first, but we got used to it and I just sat back and enjoyed the scenery.
"Look, Lacy. I just want to apologize. I didn't mean to hurt you, or say those things. I guess I am just not used to having someone in my life I care about so much. I do care about you, so much," he stressed, then continued, "please, forgive me. I won't do it again. I didn't even think about touching Sasha that night. It didn't even sound appealing. That Amanda girl, I thought I was doing the right thing when I told her to sit by me and keep me company, but when she leaned in...I couldn't do it, Lacy. I couldn't stop thinking about you."
He finally stopped and ran his fingers messily through his hair.
There is no way I couldn't forgive him after that. That was a beautiful speech.
"I forgive you, Harry."
He looked up at me and gave me a huge smile that I couldn't help but return.
He grabbed my hands before saying, "Now that I have said that, I want to ask you something."
"What?"
"Will you, Lacy Montgomery, be my girlfriend?"
I mentally clapped inside before nodding my head quickly and wrapping him up in a hug. I pecked his lips before he leaned in again. That's what we did for awhile too, we kissed. It was perfect.
"I'm so happy you said yes," he admitted.
"Really?"
"Yeah, hopefully I don't screw up like I usually do," he said.
"You won't," I assured him.
"By the way, I have some questions," I laughed.
"Okay, what?"
I looked at him and he was looking back at me with an amused expression on his face. He smiled and I poked his dimple.
"Okay, first, who's phone did you text me off of? And, second, you have amazing poet skills. That's not really a question, but I don't care,"
"Okay, first, I texted you off Nialls friends phone, and second, thank you baby," he leaned in and gave me a soft kiss on the cheek.
I immediately felt my cheeks turn a light rosy pink color. I hid my face in his chest.
"Want go back?" He asked me.
"Sure," I agreed and sat back while he paddled us to land.
*******
I picked out my outfit for school before getting into the shower.
I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if Harry didn't want people to know we are dating?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
I am definitely a 'what if' person, but I couldn't help it. Doesn't everyone point out the worst that could happen?
I shook my head and washed through my hair into my scalp. Once I was done with that, I washed my body quickly and turned off the shower.
I got dressed in my get up before driving myself to school. The school was still the same old boring brick building I have grown to love and hate at the same time. Hate because, well, it's school. Love because I find my friends...and others.
I parked and headed up the steps to the doors before opening them and walking to my locker.
"Hey stranger," I heard someone say.
"Oh my gosh, Chanel! I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever!" I exclaimed.
"You haven't! You didn't talk to me at school on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, or the whole weekend," she shook her head and laughed, "what's up? Why haven't you talked to me?"
I sighed, "I was with Harry for most of it..."
"Really? No way! What happened?" She asked curiously.
"Uh, well, we got in an argument-"
"That sounds so romantic!" She exclaimed sarcastically.
I chuckled before speaking again, "Let me finish! Well, he got a phone from a friend and sent me a little poem from an unknown number to meet him at the park. I did, which might have sounded stupid at the time but whatever, and he was there. Then, we went for a ride in a canoe and he apologized then asked me out."
"Awh! That sounds so sweet!" She held her hands over her heart.
"Doesn't it?" I laughed.
"Well, speaking of the devil," her eyed flickered up.
I turned around and my eyes were met with a tall, handsome man who just so happened to be my boyfriend.
"Hey baby," he said before kissing me on the cheek.
My heart rate sped up as he did this and I smiled at him.
"Hey," I stated plainly, trying to hide my love for this man.
Wait, not love. I don't think anyway. It's too early for that. Isn't it?
I'm having a stupid argument with myself in my head, I think it's safe to say I'm mentally crazy about the beautiful creation that is Harry Styles.
"I'm Chanel, have we met properly?" Chanel piped in.
"Uh, maybe? I literally cannot remember anyone in a crowd, I'm not good with remembering people," Harry commented.
"Oh, well just in case, I'm Chanel! I'm this lovely girls best friend," she pointed to me and I smiled and wrapped my arms around her shoulders.
"Oh, well I'm Harry. And this lovely girl," he mockingly pointed to me, "is my best friend."
He grabbed my arms playfully and wrapped them around his torso since his shoulders were just a bit taller. He wasn't way taller than me though, just about three inches.
I looked at him confused because of the fact he said 'best friend' instead of 'girlfriend'...
"Girlfriends and boyfriends are always supposed to be best friends," he read my mind.
I smiled at him and leaned in to give him a kiss on the lips.
"PDA!" Chanel playfully announced.
"Sorry ma'am," Harry saluted her before kissing just below my ear and walking away.
"Gosh, he's crazy!" Chanel announced.
"I really like him,"
"I know you do,"
I smiled at her before walking to my first class.
School went by fast. Before I knew it, the bell of the last class rang.
All the school day consisted of was Harry making funny faces at me in whatever class we had together and me laughing and sometimes getting yelled at. He laughed at that too. He would steal some kisses in the hall when no one was looking. We had teachers who had hall duty, so we had to be careful. However, I don't think that Harry even cares.
I grabbed my stuff and looked around for Harry. I couldn't find him, so I just went out to my car.
I found a sticky note on the window and I instantly knew who it was from due to the handwriting.
I looked down at it and it read;
Hello beautiful. I can't hang out today...but I will call you tonight! I'm missing you already even though I'll see you tomorrow. x
I smiled at the note before hopping into my car and continuing my journey home.
