You Make it Real {A Harry Styles Fan Fiction}
Chapter 51
CORY’S P.O.V.
After being in my room for a few minutes, I heard things I never wanted to hear coming from Riley’s bedroom. Piper was right. I should have just stayed with mom and dad. The worst part is that Liam seemed like a nice guy. Why couldn’t he be an asshole so I could have a right to hate him? I wanted to hate him so bad. But, the fact that they wasted no time to start fucking told me I had no reason to believe she’d ever be running into my arms again. I really needed to move on.
I just couldn’t help but to wonder why he got her. I knew her my entire life. I know the things that make her sad. The things that make her laugh. I know that she doesn’t like peaches because of the texture, but her favorite sorbet is peach. I know that she’s afraid of the ocean because she can’t see what’s under her. I know that she likes to sing in the shower, even though she’s absolutely terrible.
So, why did this new guy swoop in and take her? I never stood a chance against Liam Payne, pop superstar. He has everything any girl could dream of. He’s good looking, rich, powerful. She could never choose me when people like him exist. Or could she? Riley wasn’t that type of person. She wasn’t obsessed with money or popularity. She was the only girl in high school who ever talked to me, even though I was younger and a complete loser. She could care less what they said about her behind her back. She always told me, “Cor, they just don’t know how great you are. If they did, they’d just be jealous of me for being your friend.”
No, I could have had my chance. If I wasn’t such a goddamned coward. All the time we spent together when Matt was alive. We had so much alone time, but every time I had the opportunity to kiss her, I chickened out. I only went for it when it was too fucking late. Why am I such a wimp?
No more. I can’t do it. I need to move on. I start college in a couple months and I don’t know anyone! What have I been wasting this past month doing? Sitting in my room and cutting my arms to shreds. I couldn’t let this whole thing get me down.
My mind boggled back and forth as I drifted off into a deep sleep.
_____
When I woke up, my head felt fuzzy and I knew I slept too long. I rolled over and checked my phone. 7:00 pm. I slept all damn day. I held my phone and skimmed through messages I’d ignored in the past 24 hours.
*FROM: Piper
We’re in London! It’s great!*
Attached was a picture of Harry and her sitting on a couch. She looked happy and I knew I had Harry to thank for that. I couldn’t imagine how miserable she would have been after what James did if Harry didn’t swoop in and love her. James. I couldn’t believe it was taking so long to put him behind bars. The court dates and such were so ridiculous. He raped her. That’s that. I was glad she was gone. London would be good for her.
*FROM: Mom
Hi, sweetheart. I hope you’re going to have fun tonight. I don’t wanna hear that you’re cooped up in your room again.*
I rolled my eyes and replied.
*TO: Mom
I think I’ll come stay with you guys.*
I didn’t have any other messages. Only two. From my mom and my sister. I really needed to get out more. I sat up and wiped the sleep out of my eyes. I retrieved a shirt and walked out into the living room. Riley was in the kitchen making a cocktail in a skin tight costume. I couldn’t tell what it was yet, but the amount of leather and spandex was already sexy. Her hair was pin straight and her makeup was much more drastic than usual. I contemplated turning around and returning to my room before she saw me, but she looked up before I could.
“Did you sleep that whole time?”
“Yeah, I feel like shit now.”
“I bet. Hate that feeling.”
She was looking down again, avoiding eye contact.
“What time are you guys going to that party?”
Liam appeared in the doorway with sweatpants on and nothing more. I would be angry, but I did the same thing when they got here.
“You guys? You’re not coming?”
I scratched the back of my neck and stood there awkwardly.
“No, I was gonna see if you guys could drop me off at my parents. Never mind, though. I can just take Piper’s car. She won’t mind.”
Liam looked at me in complete shock.
“You are not going to your parents house on Halloween. You can’t!”
Riley shot him a look and I could tell that she was angry.
“Umm. It’s alright.”
What was I saying I really needed to go somewhere. Do something. Meet people!
“Come on! It’s on campus so you can leave whenever and just walk back! Try it out!”
Why did he want me to go? I didn’t get why he was being so nice to me. He was right though; I
needed to try something new.
“You know what. I will go. Ri, is that okay with you?”
She didn’t look up; she just focused on her drink.
“Of course. You can do whatever you want.”
I ignored her rude demeanor and simply nodded, walking away. I had to come up with some sort of costume. When I closed the door, I could hear Riley’s agitated voice carry through the dorm. I tried to resist, but I pressed my ear against the wood.
“Why would you invite him?”
“I was being nice! It’ll be fine. Let the poor guy have fun.”
“I want him to have fun. It’s just awkward.”
Why was she even talking about it? I’d left her alone this entire time and she can’t even look me in the eye.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make you forget he’s even there.”
Then I heard lips smacking and left the door. So, that’s all I was to her now. Some guy she slept with and felt weird around? What happened to all those years we spent together as kids. She forgot about it all. Everything had changed because of one stupid night. I was going to this party and I was going to try to forget that night ever happened.
_________
After taking a shower, I decided not to even dress up. I just put on some clothes and walked out of my room to find none other than Batman and Catwoman. Riley’s costume was...hot. She had on tight black pants with a top to match, the neckline plunging just enough. She wore black combat boots and had a lace mask over her eyes. Black metal tipped cat ears laid on top of her perfectly straight hair. I realized I was staring and shook myself out of it.
“You guys ready?”
I turned to Liam, or Batman, and he nodded. They looked me up and down, deciding to not pester me about my lack of a costume. We walked in silence to the elevator and I stared at the ground once we were inside. Liam held onto Riley’s waist, not letting go for a moment and I couldn’t watch.
Maybe going to that party was a bad idea, but I planned on ditching them as soon as we got there. I just had to make it through the awkward walk there. Many people passed us as we walked, me behind Riley and Liam. God, it was weird. I pulled out my phone to make myself look busy.
Two new messages:
*FROM: Mom
I’d love to have you, but I really want you to have fun, sweetie.*
*FROM: Piper
Hey, baby bro. Hope you’re doing alright. I keep thinking about that time we came here with
mom and dad. Definitely bringing you next time. Happy Halloween!*
*TO: Mom
Don’t worry. I’m going to a party with Riley and her boyfriend. Can’t promise that I’ll have fun.*
*TO: Piper
Wish I was there. Miss you. I’m okay... I guess. Going to that party with Riley and Liam-probably a bad choice. I’m just tired of being depressed.*
I kept looking at my phone as we made our way to the house down the street and I really started to regret my decision. It looked like the entire school was there. Okay, I was being dramatic. There were still at least a hundred people spilling out of the house and it was still early in the evening. It was bound to get crazy. My phone buzzed.
*FROM: Piper
Well, have fun. I’m glad you’re getting out. GO MEET PEOPLE! :)*
*TO: Piper
Thanks. I will. Isn’t it like six in the morning there? Why are you awake?*
We walked up to the house and I immediately found my way to an empty spot on a nearby couch. The room was filled with smoke; cigarette and marijuana. I stared at my phone again, waiting for one of my family members to reply and save me from being social. They didn’t. I felt so out of place. What was I supposed to do? I’m not that outgoing of a person. I’m not the kind of guy who just walks up to random girls. A voice snapped my attention away from the screen.
“Hi, I’m Rebecca. You’re new here aren’t you?”
RILEY’S P.O.V.
“Want something to drink?”
I nodded to Liam, but I was still irritated with him. How could he convince Cory to go with us? It was so weird. Cory didn’t like this type of thing. He was the complete opposite of these people. He didn’t drink and smoke. He didn’t dance. He was an intellectual person. He liked to sit and talk. The things you couldn’t easily do here.
I guess I was being selfish. I did totally screw him over and he had been extremely depressed lately. Ever since he told me about his past with self-harm and suicidal thoughts, I really did start worrying about him. I saw him falling back down that dark hole from high school. I always knew he was depressed back then. I was his only friend besides Piper. He still didn’t tell me how serious it was back then. Maybe I could have helped him. Maybe... No, I couldn’t think that way. If I had started dating Cory back then, I wouldn’t be with Liam now and that’s all I wanted. Liam was everything I could have ever dreamed of.
Speaking of Liam.
“Here, babe.”
I took the drink out of his hand and softened my expression a bit.
“Riley, I’m sorry for getting Cory to come. I didn’t realize it would make you uncomfortable, but I should have talked to you.”
“It’s okay, Liam. I’m just surprised it doesn’t make you feel more uncomfortable.”
He kissed my forehead.
“Honestly, I was intimidated at first, but I just feel bad for the guy, Ri. He’s so down and grumpy.
I... uh... saw those scars on his arms. No one should feel like they need to do that to themselves.”
Liam’s such a good person. Better than me. I cared about Cory a hundred times more than Liam, but I couldn’t put it aside like he did for one night.
“You’re perfect, Liam.”
“No, definitely not. I almost pummeled him this morning. I’m still jealous.”
I leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips.
“Really? Even after what we did this morning?”
He winked and spoke again.
“What did we do? I think you need to remind me.”
His cheeky response was enough to turn me on. I leaned in and kissed him again, this time with more force. I reached for his hand and started to pull him toward the stairs. We were at my friend’s sorority house and it was full of people, but they didn’t let everyone go upstairs. Thankfully, I had that access. I was almost to the steps when I turned to see Cory sitting next to none other than Rebecca. They were sitting close to each other and her hand was resting on his knee.
“What the hell is he talking to her for?”
Liam tugged on my hand, pulling me toward the stairs, but I stayed in place.
“Riley, he’ll be fine.”
“No! He doesn’t know who she is. She’s going to-“
“Why do you care? You were just mad at me for inviting him to come along and now you’re
worried that he’s cozied up to another girl! Why?”
“I-I’m not. I just-“
“Ri, it’ll be okay. Just tell him later that she’s no good.”
He was right. How much damage could she do in one night?
“Alright. Come on.”
I wasn’t in the same mood as before, but I knew that the second Liam’s lips met mine, I would feel differently. I knocked on doors, quickly finding an empty room and pulling Liam through the door. He shut the door behind him, pulling my body to his in the dark. I couldn’t see anything besides the outline of furniture and we stumbled toward the bed clumsily. His lips found mine easily, despite our lack of sight and the mask from his costume felt cold against my skin. His lips were free and that was all I needed. That bed was smaller than mine; a double mattress if I wasn’t mistaken, but it didn’t really matter. Our bodies joined as one, leaving plenty of room as we fell onto the blankets. As soon as I was on my back, his kiss became more passionate and intense. He ground his hips against mine and I raised my hips slightly to extend the pressure. He moaned and brought his lips to my ear, his heavy breath taking over my thoughts.
“Oh, Liam.”
“Call me Bruce.”
He did his best raspy batman voice and my laughter became uncontrollable. He collapsed on top of me, doubled over in hysterics and our heated moment turned into a sentimental one. He laid next to me and pulled me closer in his arms. My costume was a bit constricting and it was starting to irritate me.
“These pants are too tight. I can’t move.”
“I can take care of that.”
He kissed me once and lowered his hands to the waist of my pants, tugging the down my legs and removing them, leaving kisses down my freshly bare legs. He crawled between my legs and I wasn’t wearing any panties. The pants were just too tight for panty lines.
“What a nice surprise.”
I giggled as he brought his lips to my sex.
“Mmmm. You’re so wet.”
“Not a dry moment around you, Batman.”
He chuckled and returned to my core, resting his hands on my hips. I thought about taking his
mask off, but he seemed to like having it on and I couldn’t see him anyway. I ran my fingers through the back of his hair and he moaned against my body, sending vibrations against my clit. A high-pitched moan escaped my throat and I could feel him smile.
My heart stopped when the door flung open.
“Riley? Are you in here? OH! Oh my god! I’m so sorry.”
Light flooded the room and I felt my face go red as Liam covered me with a blanket. The girl in
the doorway shielded her face, but I could tell it was Trisha.
“Trish? What the hell?”
“I’m SO sorry, but that guy you brought... Cory? Umm- you should come downstairs.”
What could have possibly happened that was so important. We were at a goddamned party. If he was drunk of something, why would anyone care? It had to be big.
“O-okay. Let me just... get dressed.”
Liam handed me my pants as Trisha closed the door and stood guard outside. I pulled them on quickly and jumped up. Liam said nothing and just followed behind me. I opened the door quickly and Trisha looked upset.
“What the fuck happened?”
She started to walk toward the stairs as she tried to explain.
“I guess he played 7 minutes in heaven, and he got Becca and-“
Becca. I should have known. I hurried down the stairs, Liam close behind and saw a large crowd formed around the nearby closet with phones in the air snapping pictures and taking videos. I pushed through them violently and made it to the front, memories of high school flooding through my head. Intoxicated voices around me rang through my ears.
“What the hell are those scars? There everywhere!”
Laughter ensued.
“What a loser!”
Cory was sitting on the floor, completely naked with his hands tied behind his back. Liam rushed to his side, ripping the cape off of his costume and covering Cory before untying the sheet around his wrists. Cory’s eyes were red and he had nothing to say. I started to move toward him until I heard a familiar cackle behind me. Becca stood there in a cliche bunny outfit laughing her ass off.
Before I could think, my fist swung and hit her cheekbone as hard as possible as I tackled her to the ground.
After being in my room for a few minutes, I heard things I never wanted to hear coming from Riley’s bedroom. Piper was right. I should have just stayed with mom and dad. The worst part is that Liam seemed like a nice guy. Why couldn’t he be an asshole so I could have a right to hate him? I wanted to hate him so bad.

Notes
AHHHH! Riley being a badass <3 haha. I woulda punched her too...
ANYWAY! Why do you think Becca did that? How will Cory handle this situation?
HOW ARE YOU GUYS?! :) School has been... hell the past few weeks. UGH.
Random fact: I have OCD... like bad. It's not exactly what you think it is, most likely. I have obsessions and compulsions that interrupt life all the time. Really freaking annoying. Also, I have social anxiety. I get extreme panic attacks fairly often :/ SO, that was the inspiration for Piper's troubles with anxiety and that's why it's easy for me to write about haha. Have you guys dealt with anything like that? xx Ilya
