Running
Scared
*NINA’S POV*
When I got home I started on the paper work for the cafe. After about two hours though I got bored and decided to get my things and go back to the cafe to help Lucy out. I grabbed my phone, my bag and all the work and headed back to the cafe. When I got there it was about lunch time so I dumped my stuff in the office and told the girls that they could go for a break, which they happily obliged.
I was working at the counter when Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan came up to the counter.
"Hi what can I get for you" I asked politely
"Ummm, I, Ummm, Hmmm, I will get a Frappuccino, Nialler what will you get"? Louis asked
"I will get the same please"! He replied in a thick Irish accent.
"Now, what will Harry want, Hmmm, Nina? Is it? Do you know what Harry will get.............you know what he can have nothing, he's already had one today hasn't he?" He asked me
"Uuuhhhh, yes he has, that will be seven pounds thanks?" I replied, blushing
"You know when Harry came home and talked about this fit as bird that he met, so I thought I should come down here and see who the future Mrs. Styles is." He said as he paid. I figured all I could do was laugh as he walked away, I bet I’m not even going to see Harry again he’s a pop star and I am just a normal person?
When I got home I was exhausted it was already six thirty and I did not feel like clubbing and I had a massive headache. I was in my room on my laptop when Sarah and Emma came in. I closed my laptop, and siting on my bed cross legged,
“Hey are we still going out tonight” Sarah asked clearly excited to which I replied “you can but I’m staying home, I have mean headache”!
“Well you were pretty sick last week, so it might not be such a bad Idea” Emma replied being the responsible one, otherwise I think Sarah may have dragged me there by my hair. Let’s just say she’s a party girl!’
“Ha, Ha sucks to be you” Sarah said and got up; before she left the room she said “So what’s for dinner?”
“What am I your slave? Anyway I already ate so it’s not my decision” I answered as I opened my computer back up, after a while the girls decided on getting Thai and left me some in case I got hungry.
I was currently in the lounge snuggled up in a blanket watching some random show on TV that I wasn’t paying attention to instead playing a game on my phone when I got a message?
‘Hey its Harry I think I left my Keys at the café, do you think it would be okay if I came tomorrow and got them? XX’
I got the text and replied.
Nina: Sure thing, come in about 11?
Harry: Okay will do see you then, maybe after we can catch something to eat, yeah?
Nina: I’ll have to check my schedule, but sure
Harry: Sweet, I have to go sorry, bye Nina xx
Nina: Bye Harry xx

I ended up falling asleep on the couch with Toby cuddled up next to me, and there was a blanket across me meaning Emma had done it, how sweet, until I heard a loud bang coming from down the hall, by the front door. To say I was freaking out was an understatement, there was another bang and this one woke Toby up causing him to bark and growl in protection.
There was another one and I was freaking out, I ran up the stairs carrying Toby knowing he would want to stay down and protect me but he is still a little puppy, and he would get hurt. I ran to Sarah’s room and woke her up, dragging her out of her bed. When I got her to Emma’s room, we heard someone walking around downstairs we quickly rushed into Emma’s room to see her awake on the phone, she had already called the police and had all the things we could use as a weapon out and on her bed. I grabbed the baseball bat, Sarah had a cricket bat and Emma had a really sharp pair of scissors, which she used to cut material (she does graphic design at uni). We jumped in her bed and we heard someone coming up the stairs and looking in each room until; they came to the one that we were in.
We were all in Emma’s bed pretending to be asleep. When we heard the door knob rattle and then slowly turn, a dark silhouette was standing at the door once it open, and started to move towards us.
We heard sirens going off outside, signaling the police had just come.
“Bitches” He snarled and moved towards the bed, staring right at me, he pulled a knife out of his pocket and walked up to the bed and looked out the window behind the bed, on my side.
Slowly I pulled my arm out of the bed and punched him in the groin; he fell to the ground and groaned, I took this as my opportunity to jump out of bed and bash him across the head with my baseball bat.
He passed out and I noticed that the girls were crying, so was I, I had never been so scared before but I had to do something, I couldn’t let that awful man hurt us. I jumped up and ran over to the bathroom and opened the door to get Toby out of the bathroom because I couldn’t put him on the bed and hold him; that would be to obvious.
We ran down the stairs, the girls, Toby and I, we ran outside to the police to get away from that man in case he woke up. A police woman came up to me and pulled me into a hug, she was very pretty with brown hair and amazing blue eyes. She comforted me before she said “I need to ask you a few questions okay but firstly are you okay? Experiences like that can be very traumatic and what you did was amazingly brave, you should be proud.” “Thank you and yes I think I’m fine thanks!” I replied shakily.
“Okay so Nina do you know this man from what you saw of him and really think about it”!
“Um yes he comes into the café all the time, he stays there most of the day and kind of just sits there and stares at us, I always just thought that he was thinking about something. One day after I had finished it was dark and I was walking to my car and as I locked the door he grabbed my arm and offered to walk me to my car, but I said it was fine he looked kind of like, angry but instead of saying anything else and quickly walked to the car park. I turned around to see if he was there and he was, just like staring at me, so I ran to my car and got in, that was like two days ago” I rambled on to her!
“Turns out he has been following you for a while now, he also abused someone and has criminal record for, drugs, trespassing, sexual harassment and now breaking and entering so I’m sure he’ll be locked up and safe for a long time thou-
-“Nina?” I heard a voice yell out from behind me
The cop and I turned around to see who it was………..Harry Styles
“Harry? What are you doing here?” I asked completely taken back by his presence
“Well I just live in the apartment building down the road, and heard all the commotion, wanted to see what was happening, what happened?” He asked worried
“Um well this is my house and um turns out this man had been stalking me and I guess he had, a, come to, kidnap, or kill me” I replied and I broke down into tears about how scared I had been and that I was so stupid not to realize that he had, had it out for me the entire time!
Just as I started crying Harry pulled me into his arms, wrapping me in his strong arms. I wrapped my arms around his torso; it was so comforting even though I had only known him for a short amount of time! I felt really pathetic for crying especially to someone I had only met that day! While I was crying he was whispering comforting things to me and rubbing my back in a soothing pattern. After a few minutes my cries died down to sobs, before I was about to pull away Sarah interrupted;
“Ahem, I know what happened was fucking terrifying but, you are Harry Styles and you are hugging my best friend, Nina please explain” she paused “This” she said while throwing her hands up and waving them around as to signify the fact that a hugely famous person was hugging me right now and actually calmed me down well!
“Um well today, Harry here” I said pointing at him after I had moved out of his embrace “knocked me over today spilling the contents of my bag out onto the street he helped me pick them up, then I spilled his coffee, all over him and I made him a new one and we had a chat, then today he texted me and he is coming in to the café tomorrow to get his keys, which by the way someone found, there in my office” I said to both of them, each part for a different one of them.
“HI” Harry said from behind me
“Why didn’t you tell me that you met one of the most famous people in the world” Sarah said a tad angry
“It slipped my mind, sorry” I said in an apologetic tone
“Whatever it’s fine I’m going back to bed” She said walking back inside
“Are you alright?” Harry asked concerned
“Yeah I think I will be alright now thank you” I replied as we walked back to the front door
“So how did he get he get knocked out” Harry asked smirking and pointing to the police putting the man that attacked us in the back seat of the police car
“Oh well when he got close enough I freaked out and punched him in the balls, when he fell on the ground in pain I smacked him with a baseball bat, grabbed my dog and ran out of the house towards the police, because I heard there sirens so I knew they had turned up” I said as we reached the front door!
“Do you want to come in for some tea or something, I don’t think I will be able to sleep now anyway” I offered because I knew the girls would go back to sleep and I would just stay awake not being able to sleep over what just happened
“Yeah may as well I’m a really light sleeper so I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway”!
-
After a while of me and Harry chatting and drinking our tea I suggested that we watch a movie
“What movie, do you suppose we watch” He asked, telling me he was in
“Mean girls, it is the most quotable movie ever?”
“No, that’s girly, what else” He said laughing at my pout
“Fine, hmmm, how about paranormal activity four, I haven’t seen it yet, we bought it yesterday?” I asked him, I actually did really want to see this movie
“Okay, I’m in. I’ll make the popcorn you set it up” He said while running around the kitchen to the cupboards
“Slide out pantry on the left side” I yelled out while walking into the lounge
-
After the movie started it was a lot scarier than I thought it would be, thank god we had someone come in to fix the door and put on a new lock otherwise I would have been in all out panic attack
I was practically sitting on top of Harry when the little boy got pushed under the water knowing that this did not mean good things.
When the boy started to do ‘paranormal’ things I had my face buried in Harry’s chest, and he had his arm around my waist.
After a while I started to drift off to sleep
*HARRY’S POV*
When the movie ended I was just starting to drift off to sleep when Sarah came down and I asked her if I should take Nina to her room she said and showed me the way.
You go down the hallway, up a set of stairs, when the stairs end there is another hallway, at the end of the hallway there were three stairs that was her room.
When I went into her room, I couldn’t see much but there was a TV and couch, in the corner of the room there was a spiral stair case and up there was her bed. I carried her up there and laid her on the bed where Sarah decided that she was fine to sleep in her track pants and a top!
“You can stay here tonight if you want?” Sarah asked me so I just yawned and nodded my head thank you
I jumped into bed next to Nina after Sarah left seeing as I was already in my Pajamas where she snuggled up to me. I like this girl, she was different, I had a feeling this was going to be a good friendship.
When I got home I started on the paper work for the cafe. After about two hours though I got bored and decided to get my things and go back to the cafe to help Lucy out.
