Anna's P.O.V
As Zayn was driving me home I couldn't help but think about the way Nina acted towards me today. I wonder what her problem was. I don't remember saying or doing anything wrong to her. Maybe this wasn't about me. This could be something else that she's going through and she doesn't want to address it with anyone. I mean I of all people should understand how that feels.
"You okay Bambi? You seem spaced out today."
I turned my head and looked toward Zayn. "I'm fine actually. I'm just thinking about how much homework I have to catch up on from missing school so much."
He laughed. "yeah, you seem like you'd be the type of person to be stressed out about that type of stuff."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"Well, You come off as a control freak and a perfectionist, since you're a little behind on your grades and school work I figured you'd be freaking out about it."
"Is that so?" I asked. He nodded.
"So you think you have me all figured out huh?" I questioned.
"You're not that hard to read Bambi. I know what goes on in that pretty little head of yours."
I rolled my eyes. "If you truly believe that then I won't go against you."
We finally arrived at my house. When we parked I noticed that there were a lot of people outside with hard yellow hats on with different vans and trucks parked outside. People were carrying wood and tools inside the house. What the heck is going on here? I stepped out of Zayn's car and looked around. My mother saw me and came toward me with the biggest smile on her face.
"You're finally back from school." She pulled me in her a very tight hug.
"Mom, what is going on? Why are all of these workers at our house?" She pulled away from the hug.
"Oh, Harry didn't tell you?" she questioned.
"Tell me what?"
"He hired these people to help remodel the kitchen. Isn't that so sweet of him?" She gushed. I looked at her in shock.
"He did what?"
"Oh, I didn't know you were bringing over a friend. Who is this young man?' She asked.
I looked behind me and saw Zayn standing there looking just as confused as I was. I forgot he was even here. "Oh, I'm sorry this is Zayn. He's actually about the leave."
"So soon? Oh, honey, he's welcome to stay. I didn't know you had plans for friends to come over. This whole thing was a surprise to me. I didn't know Harry was going to-"
"It's fine mom. He has things to do anyway." I interrupted.
"Oh okay, Well, it was nice to meet you Zayn." she gave Zayn a welcoming smile.
"You too," he said.
Zayn turned towards me. "I'll text you later," he said.
I walked inside to search for Harry. I couldn't find him anywhere. I knocked on his door and there was no answer. I went back downstairs to ask my mother where he went. When I reached the bottom of the stairs there beholds the person I was looking for.
His green eyes looked up into mine as he looked away from one of the workers he was talking to. "Oh, I see you've made it home from school," he stated.
"I need to talk with you," I said. He motioned for the worker to leave us alone for a moment.
"What is all of this?" I asked.
"Carine didn't tell you? I'm helping with the mess I've made." He explained.
I looked at him shocked. "Can you even afford this? How much did all of this cost? Where did you get the money?" I asked.
He laughed. "Relax, This is the Trust Fund money my mother left for me when she died. She was saving it so that I could use it to take care of myself in case David decided to be more of a shitty father than he is now."
"But Harry, this is your money. I can't let you spend all of it on a new kitchen. It was a mistake." I argued.
"Yes, a mistake I made. I'm tired of being the bad guy and destroying everything. I want to fix something for a change."
I didn't want to argue with Harry anymore. If this is something that he wanted to do then I guess I can't change his mind. Plus the workers have already started. My mother looks so happy. Who am I to tell Harry how to spend his money?
"Well thank you. I'm not going to tell you what to do with your money but just know that you didn't have to do this." I said.
"Anna, I said it's fine. Now go do some homework or call Nina. Let the adults handle this."He smirked.
"Haha, Very funny. You're not even that much older than me." I defended. He leaned down and whispered in my ear.
"Old enough to punish you if you disobey me."
I gasped. He chuckled at my response.
"Now run along, I have work to do." He instructed.
I turned around and walked up the stairs. Harry is acting so different today. A huge contrast from a few days ago. What's changed? I like this new Harry, He's so playful, generous and considerate. What's gotten into him? I decided not to think too much of it. Once I reached my room I pulled my phone out of my pocket to text Nina. Hopefully, she calmed down enough to talk to me and tell me what was going on with her.
A- Hey, What's going on?
N-Nothing, I don't feel like talking rn.
A- I know there's something wrong, you've been avoiding me all day. That's not like u.
N- just leave me alone. I don't want to talk.
A- Ik that's not true.
N- I don't want to be friends anymore! Now stop texting me.
I looked down at my phone in shock. This was so not like her. Something is up. Why wouldn't she want to be my friend anymore? We were just talking to each other yesterday.
A- You don't mean that?
N- I do. You're annoying af. I really can't stand you. So leave me alone. I don't want to be friends with you. What part of that don't you understand? just leave me alone, damn!
I threw my phone to the other side of my bed with tears in my eyes. Fine. If she didn't want to talk to me then that's her doing, not mine. I don't know what's up with her and as of now, I don't care.
I flopped on my bed face first and screamed into my pillow. I don't care about her. Whatever she's going through she'll have to work it out herself. I'm not going to be there when she needs me. I've been nothing but a good friend to her since the beginning but if she wants to throw our friendship away over something stupid then be my guest. I don't need her anyway.
I heard a knock at my door. "Who is it?" I mumbled.
"Anna, open the door right now," Harry said firmly.
What is it now? I really wasn't in the mood for Harry's bipolar behavior right now. I stood up and groaned as I dragged my feet to the door. I swung it open. He did not look happy. I looked at him confused.
"What?" I said.
He held my backpack up in the air. "Do you want to explain this?" He stated.
I looked and him dumbfounded. "Um, yeah... It's my backpack. What are you doing with it?"
"The question is, What the hell was Zayn doing with it?"
My eyes went wide. I must have left it in his car when he dropped me off.
"He dropped it off and said that you left it in his car. Did you seriously ride in his car? What the fuck did I say about hanging out with Zayn?" He said in a hushed, harsh tone.
"So what? He gave me a ride home from school. I wasn't going to say no. I quite frankly hate walking with a broken foot. Which was your fault in the first place."
"Don't you dare blame that on me! I wasn't the one who told you to jump out the fucking window!" He spat.
"Well if you didn't act like a crazy person and scare me to fucking death I wouldn't have had to jump out the fucking window."
"That does not justify Jumping out of a two-story window. and lower your tone with me," he growled.
I snatched my backpack from him and slammed the door. How dare he talk to me like that? He keeps forgetting that he's not my father. And to think he was changing. He's still the asshole Harry we've all grown to know.
I heard him curse to himself as he walked away from my door and slam his. I didn't care about his stupid tantrum. They're getting old anyway. If he thinks I'm going to chase after him, I'm not. I'm tired of chasing after people. I also need to have a chat with Zayn tomorrow.
