Chanel's POV

"Harry where are we going???" i asked excitedly. "We're going to go shopping and then we're going out of town for a few hours." he said smiling at me, i nodded and thought. "Does Zayn know?" "He know's you're with me..." He said slowly. "But he doesn't know that we're leaving town..?" I asked looking at him. "Just, follow your nose Nelz..." I immediately looked down and twiddled my thumbs. Not because I'm his drudge, but because i felt like i was annoying him and i don't like upsetting people.

We pulled in front of this department store i was unfamiliar with. "Harry.." "shh.....you need....something that is you but nothing they'd expect you to wear..." "who's 'they' harry?" "Shh." He got out the car and i followed him in the department store, frankly i wouldn't think that Harry would know fashion but hum..guess I'm wrong? Spending the day with Harry i went from this and ended up like this.


"Uhm...Harry? why are we giving me a make over???" "It's temporary i promise." he kissed my cheek and got in the car. i rolled my eyes and followed. "Harold..." "i'm taking you home. to check out the place ya know?" I was lost for a minute. "Home is where Zayn is and he'll kill me if i come home dressed like this...." "Not that home. Where you were born.." "...oh...Oh....OH Harry no! i can't no!" i screamed freaking out. "Sit down, buckle up. calm down. stop screaming. i gotchu bro." he said evenly. i did what he said, pouting because since it felt like an order, i HAD to listen. I'm not ready to back to Bradford, not in the least....

Harry's POV

We made it, i've personally have never been here before but it seems like a nice place. "C'mon Chanel, let's go look around." i looked over at her to see her pouting. "what?" "why?" "because...." I mumbled. I really just want her to visit her home and be happy, Zayn said she could never go back, i know maybe she isn't ready but even if she was ready to go maybe with Zayn, he'd stop her. "Look. Zayn said you could never come back, i figured you missed it and if we make you unrecognizable then you won't have to deal with whatever the reason is that you left." i said suddenly remembering that she doesn't know that i know the reason. She sighed. "I do miss Bradford....okay. Let's go." She smiled and got out the car.

We went into this cool bakery because she said she used to know a lady that always made the best cupcakes and she loves cupcakes. I laughed as she pressed her face against the glass like a little kid, she looked so adorable. "Can i help you?" The woman behind the counter asked with a slight giggle when she saw Chanel. "This one, the triple chocolate one, Harry please???" I nodded and chuckled. "Name?" the woman asked looking at Chanel. "Marie Malik." I looked at her and she smiled back at me. I wonder what her real last name is since she wasn't officially adopted by the Maliks..."That your boyfriend?" She asked Chanel, she looked down and nodded, i smiled knowing she was blushing. "She's a keeper." The lady whispered to me. I bit the inside of my cheek. I really would keep her, forever...

If she were mine

Chanel's POV

After she wrote down my name, Harry ordered a marbled cupcake, only because it had blue and orange swirled icing. "So, Marie?" He asked me quietly. "My middle name." "Hmm...Chanel Marie Malik..." I felt weird, like i should correct him and say Cooper, not Malik. But he doesn't know. "That's a pretty Middle name love." I smiled. "Thanks..." The lady came back and handed us our cupcakes. "Thank you ma'am" I said excitedly. She smiled and pinched my cheeks. "Oh, you're very welcome darling, you remind me of a little girl who used to come by years ago and ask to try every cupcake, of course since she was an orphan she couldn't afford them all but i always gave her the bowls and spoons to lick...even a few extra cupcakes i made, especially for her birthday, she was like a daughter to me....but one day she just...disappeared....it broke my heart...i hope she's alright. hopefully adopted by now...with a family that treats her right. I couldn't bear any ill-will on her...." She rambled tearing up.

Madam Rosaline....i remember her...i hung my head and grabbed Harry's hand. "i hope she comes by to see you again ma'am...I'm sorry to hear that...i hope she's alright too." Harry hugged me and grabbed my hand, walking out the shop. I feel bad, i had no idea she cared about me like that. "Hey." I heard Harry say. "Hm?" I asked looking up, right when i looked up i got icing on my nose and i squeaked. "YEAH! Gotcha!" He said acting like a child. "oh?" i giggled and took some of my icing and got his nose. "DAMNIT!" he pouted and i giggled some more. "You're such a kid Harold." He smiled and grabbed my hand. "Onward!" he said marching down the street. I laughed and followed.

we had finished our cupcakes by the time we reached the old park, i smiled and tugged his arm. "What?" he asked sounding distracted. "swings hazza swings! i remember this one being my favorite. I said as i ran over to the swing in the middle. He chuckled and stood behind me. "wanna be pushed?" "uh, yeah i do!" i said giddily. He pushed me a few times and i made the little kiddy sounds like "Wheee" and "Woo" and "whoosh" and a few giggles. "You're such a kid Chanel.." he said, copying what i said before. i shrugged and giggled some more. "what can you expect from someone who never really had much of a childhood. He stopped the swing and sat in the one next to me. "Thank you Harry....I really needed this..." He looked at me and smiled. "Anything for you lovely..." He leaned forward and so did I, he smiled slightly and grabbed the chain on my swing bringing me closer and pressed his lips against mine.

After spending a few more hours in Bradford we decided to go home before Zayn texts me asking for my whereabouts. On the drive back it was a comfortable quiet, i guess Harry knew i needed time to reflect on today. "oh...we have to change you back to Chanel, not Marie." Harry said chuckling. He pulled over into a random parking lot and climbed to the back of the car. I followed, mostly out of curiosity. "I think they're under the seat..." He mumbled. I took off my shirt and pants, not really caring since he saw me in my underwear before, without noticing all my scars. "If you want we can go to my house real quick and i'll wash the Dye out your-" He stopped talking I'm guessing because he saw something but i'm too busy trying to find my clothes.

"Chanel...why do you do that to yourself?" i head him ask. "Do what?" he placed his hands on my hips and then trailed his fingers across my scars, making me gasp. "That..." It's amazing how well he can see in the dark, i fixed myself so that i was sitting correctly in the back seat and he did the same. "You have more?" He asked trailing his fingers down my arm and then across the scars on my thighs. "Why? What made you want to?" he looked at me and for the first time in a while he actually sounded like he was going to cry. the first time i ever heard him sound like that was when i told him Zayn wanted us not to be around each other. I shrugged and looked down. "Nelz..." I didn't answer him and he sighed.

He grabbed my hands and kissed my cheek, then my nose, he lifted my head and pressed his lips against mine. Does him and Niall not care that i'm with Louis? His kisses trailed down my neck and i bit my lip. He continued to my chest and i closed my eyes, his kisses were soft and caring..he kisses the scars on my hips and i moved away a little but he pulled my legs up on the seat and lied on top of me. "You're so beautiful.." He mumbled as he marveled at my body. I stared at him and watched as he kissed my arms and then my thighs, he kissed the inside of my thighs, making me squirm. He hummed a little then sat up and looked me dead in the eye. "don't hate yourself, there's nothing to hate about you..." he climbed into the drivers seat and started the car, I found my clothes and got dressed. "So, my house to get the dye out your hair, then i'll drive you home." he said smiling at me as i climbed back into the passenger seat. I nodded and blushed slightly.

Best. Day. Ever.
