She's Not Afraid

Chapter 8


"So wait, Harry and I are going on a Camping trip together alone, for a week?" I ask Louis trying to clear things up.

"Yes.." Louis answers, clearly ignored of all my questions I've been asking. I stayed silent for the rest of the time as we scanned through the aisles of the store collecting camping supplies. I thought it was crazy to buy all new camping stuff just for a week. But Louis had insisted.

When we left the checkout we both walked hand in hand towards the exit doors Paparazzi surrounded us, enveloping me in their flashing cameras. I have actually been beginning to get used to it, which is odd. They always take constant pictures of us being all couple together, posting them on social media websites.

I stuffed the last couple of things into my new duffle bag, zipping it tightly closed. Louis stood behind me, nuzzling his head in my neck, lightly placing a kiss.

"I don't want you to go." He whispered in my ear.

Lately Louis has been warming up to me, I don't know why, I think he's taking this fake relationship thing a little too far.

"I know you said that already Louis, but remember harry and I need this time so I can make it up to him, after all he probably missed me." I moved from his grasp, as I slipped on my comfy slippers, setting down my bag as I looked up at him.

I gave him a face, I mean cmon its not like really dating, its just for publicity, nothing more right? Then my gaze locked on my window. Oh shit, I noticed a lot of paparazzi outside my apartment, screaming for our attention. I placed my hand on Louis's Shoulder, pushing him towards the window. He nodded, as we now stood in front of the main door to outside.

Hesitatingly we both stepped out from the safe apartment. Suddenly It felt like hundreds of flashing lights burned my eyes. I held on to Louis's arm, shielding my eyes, Focusing on listening to their suspicions, trying to get this over with.

"No more pictures,and we will answer you questions" Louis stood closely by me protecting me in a way. As the flashing stopped. My head still light headed and spinning, as I pulled away slowly

Then they began to line up, as the questions began.. Are you and Louis planning for marriage? What are they fucking insane we have been together for 2 weeks like Jesus Christ people get a grip here. Many pointless stupid questions were asked so I continued to ignore them. Until one of them hit me like a ton of bricks.

Do you have feelings for Louis's band mate, harry styles, We've recently spotted you earlier having a serious conversation with him? They held the microphone close to my face, I shook my head. It made me think, how dangerous my actions could be if I did something wrong, it would ruin their careers.

Is true you and Harry styles are going for a camping trip for a week? Is Then it shook me agian, how would they know that? Louis gave my hand a tight squeeze.

"Yes, But I can assure you its just a friendly trip between us to, besides I am with Louis."

They all gasped, but then snapped another couple of pictures, burning my eyes once again Colorful shapes playing in my vision.

I think they could tell it wasn't believable, after all they've barley seen us hold hands. It was probably almost crystal clear to them that Louis and I weren't a couple, but they couldn't know that, either could the fans.

Before I could talk myself out of it, I tugged on Louis's jacket, pulling his lips to mine. He was shocked at first but he kissed me back, as I fistied his t-shirt. I heard many claps and awes as I opened my eyes. They were satisfied. I took an awkward step back from Louis, his eyes were darker than usual.

I took one last glimpse from the window, Everyone was gone. Finally. I gather my bags in my hands, giving Lou a quick hug.

A driver awaits right outside the entrance, allowing me an effortless transition. He takes me to another location where Harry's RV is parked and we change vehicles. It's a little after one in the morning, so much for the night being young because I'm beat. All I have are pleasant smiles for my emotionally exhausted state. Harry is quiet but reciprocates the same expressions.

I hear Chasing cars on the radio, as romantic as that song is, its a subtle reminder of the bittersweet week that awaits me. I lean back in the passenger seat beside Harry, enjoying the peaceful music.

Slowly I begin to relax more and drift into deep thought. I Notice harry's small movement when he turns his head as he glances over at me, I notice a smile creeping on his face. It rises and fades. For a second our gazes lock.

"So how are you adjusting to your new life and all?" He asks, His tone gave me a feel for his personality. Right away I could tell he’d be easy to talk to. I hesitate to respond, because lately things have been changing rather quickly, and I couldn't quite process how to say the right words that would complete his answer.

"Fine." I replied, though things were way more complicated than just 'fine'.

" Things aren't just 'fine' Char, Come on, tell me how things are really going."

Damn it he could see through me, crystal clear. "Well Harry, It isn't really easy to explain how life is, Things are a bit hectic at the moment. It's like everyday is the same, Cameras and people and screaming fans.-" I shivered a bit thinking about it.

"Believe me I don't mind being the center of attention once in a while, and I may be selfish saying this but even after 2 weeks I am sick of the publicity. I am just done. But I have no one to blame, I have excepted this offer to become Louis's girlfriend and Now I have to deal with it. So yea harry that's how life is at the moment, thanks for asking."

Harry's mood shifted. He suddenly wasn't in a pleasing mood. His features quickly changing, hands firmly placed to the steering wheel. I took notice to his lack of will to pick conversation, but chose to stay quiet as well.

I slightly tilted my head up, my eyes locking on harry. I began to notice his attire. He was dressed in a dark V- neck shirt under his opened leather jacket. His jeans were dark as well, and I could tell he had a hard time getting them on.

When Emerald eyes met mine, my eyes darted for the ground, I noticed his converses slightly scuffed like mine. Harry's rather large hand brushed the loose strands of hair from my ponytail behind my ear, I smirked meeting his beautiful eyes once again. I watched carefully as he turned back his sight back towards the road, His curls in a swarm around his head before he swept them to the side with his fingers. I could tell he wore a smile though it was getting a bit dark now.

"Could I tell you something Charlotte?" I could tell he was now in a good mood by the emphasis on his dimples. I was relieved he’d even been talking again. Our bodies were closer as I scooted towards him. I wallowed in his scent and the profundity of his voice. His skin was warm, his tone was low. I took in the handsome view of his eyes in low lighting before mine met his in question.

"I am sorry that i pressured you earlier to tell me if you feel something for me, Its just I think I feel for something for you, Maybe I am just an Idiot to think that you'll ever like me. Being with you just takes my breath away, Sometimes I forget your already taken by my best friend."

My brain, in a knot. The realness of his words deterring my mood. I knew I shouldn't be here with harry but somehow there was always a part of me that didn't care. Because it was Harry. I felt in too deep. Now, it was more than just about my feelings. And maybe it had always been.

I stuttered as my breathe hitched in my throat, gulping the lump in my throat, hoping my heart would cease racing. I blinked violently, tears welling in my eyes, I felt so affected by his confession, it made me react in a way I don't think I could..

I turned my head, to the passenger window, leaning my head back comfortably in the seat. Slowly closing my eyes searching for a way of an escape, then I suddenly found it, Sleep.

**Harry's P.O.V**

Though the car was quiet, but my silent thoughts were screaming inside. As Glad as I am that she is here with me now beside me. I wish that we were together in a different way. Not as friends, but something more, I had always felt there had always been a craving I had with Charlotte.

I wish she was mine, to hold, to talk to, to get to know everything about, to kiss, to hug. I wanted her to be my everything, She almost already is except she is already taken by someone else...

Not just anyone my best friend, my band mate. Louis. Its not like it's her fault, I was the stupid one for not letting her know how I feel about her earlier. Maybe If i would have just gotten to talk to her just 2 weeks ago, things would be different now.Slowly a tear escaped freely from my eye.

I turned to my right slightly, my eyes watching Charlotte toss and turn sleeplessly. She kept saying something but I couldn't understand it. Pushing on the brakes I drifted to the side of the road. I unbuckled my seat belt as I reached for hers also. I lifted her bridal style into my arms, letting her rest her head gently on my shoulder as I carried her to the back of the RV, which were a bed was. Gently I leaned down And kissed her forehead as I whispered goodnight softly.

" I know you can't hear me, but I need you to know, I'll always be there to keep you safe, I promise Charlotte, Ill never let anything happen to you ever, I care about you a lot, I hope one day you'll feel the same way." I numbed as the words escaped my lips.

As I walked away, She said something again in her sleep, I listened carefully, as her lips mumbled.

"Harry..."

Oooh, okay. Gotcha! I totally understand now. It makes perfect sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

@Mimi_Bell

First thing, I just loved seeing there was a question :) also to any of those readers out there, feel free to ask and comment away, I'll do my best to respond ASAP :)

Okay first not to spoil things but next chapter is called "A rose to remember" in Louis's POV it'll explain your questions and about what happened over those 2 weeks. and about Charlotte was able to 'go back to Louis after all he did.' And then some. I have a lot more planned for this story, and trust me it'll all make sense in time. ;)

Question. How was Charlotte able to move on so quickly and go back to Louis and even call him her boyfriend again? I mean she had just broken things off with Harry and immediately went back to Louis after all he did.
