Shattered

Angelica's P.O.V-

It's been three days since the 'kiss'. I've avoided him in every way possible. The boys and I are hanging out again, but I'm still a bit awkward around them. I mean, I'm super polite and act according to my 'new' personality. They aren't happy about that, especially Zayn, and I can tell he knows I'm a bit too different. But that's not what matters. Cause today I'm going to spend some quality time with Jake, his friends, and Laura (Mathew and Sammy's mom).

We're going to the spring fair. It's not spring here yet, but it is already warmer, so they decided to bring the fair. I think it's an awesome idea! The kids are going to love it. They have all the classic games and food and rides! I heard that on the last day (which happens to be today), there'll be a firework show!


"Jake! Come on! We have to pick up your friends!" I yelled from the kitchen. I swear! He's taking longer than I am to get ready!

"Only Sammy and Mathew can come!" He said whining once he came down to the kitchen.

"Oh! That's a pity! I'm sorry honey" I said, genuinely sad, hugging him. We went out, I locked the door, we got in the car and drove to Laura's house. We picked them up and began driving towards the fair.

"I love your outfit, Sam" I smiled through the mirror. She looked up and smiled back.

"Thank you Mrs. Greyson!" She said cheerfully.

"You can call me Angelica or Ruby" I said, still smiling.

"Can I call you Mrs. Angel?" She asked innocently. My heart stopped in my chest. That's what he calls me. I hesitated a bit but then nodded.

"Yeah, sure! I like it" I smiled brightly, fake of course. Laura gave me a warning glance but I just shrugged. I'll talk to her later. No, she has no idea about the kiss.

"Mom, are we allowed on all of the rides?" Jake asked, breaking the awkward silence. I sighed in relief and answered his question.

"Not really, there are some rides you need to be a bit taller" I said sadly. The kids 'awed' and sank in their seats.

"Too bad" Mathew pouted.

We soon reached the fair and began going around, playing games, eating, going a few times in a row on the same ride. You know, all that tiring and stressful stuff you do with kids at a huge fair. Jesus! They've got endless energy! We rode every possible ride, played every possible game, ate everything that was available, just because the kids wanted to try a bit of everything and me and Laura had to finish it if they didn't want it anymore.... I'm going to need some intense work out after this....

"Speaking of work out, you never told me what happened at the gym that day" Laura said, after I told her that I would need to practically live inside the gym.

"Oh.... Um.... Remember Harry? He said he loved me and he kissed me...." I said going directly to the point with a lot of hesitation. See what I did there? Hihihi.

"..... HE WHAT?!" She whisper shouted. The kids were playing a shooting game. They had to shoot water in a clowns mouth to make the balloon grow and pop. So far, only Sammy was doing it right...

"He kissed me okay? And I kissed back! I have no idea what it meant, or if he was saying the truth or-"

"Stop! Rewind. You kissed back?!" She asked, suddenly looking excited.

"Yeah.....? But that's not the point!-" Again I was cut short, this time by her squealing.

"Ohmygoshohmygosh!!!!" She squealed like a 15 year old (a/n: no offense I'm 15 too).

"Sheesh! Calm! Down!" I said, holding her shoulders and making her face me.

"You like him" She stated. I looked at her as if she had grown three heads.

"NO!" I exclaimed.

"Then, you love him!" She stated more cheerfully this time.

"What?! No! I don't even know if I have feelings left!" I said waving my hands around, frustrated with this argument.

"Describe the kiss" She said seriously. Oh my....

"Well, it was... Okay, fine! It was amazing! Remember the first kiss? I felt everything again, the fireworks, the bombs, the butterflies! I even think I might have felt something more, but I'm not sure of what it is" I explained. She smirked like the Chechire cat and squealed again.

"Describe the new feelings" She ordered me. Well someone's bossy....

"It was like, I was craving his touch, his body close to mine. Sort of like I needed him hugging me like that and kissing me..." I trailed off realizing what it was. Lust. Laura began wiggling her eyebrows, confirming my suspicions.

"Oh God! No! Urgh! Gross!" I exclaimed almost gagging.

"Relax! It's normal! You still have the teenage hormones!" Laura said giggling at my reaction.

"I've never felt that, it's so good yet so bad at the same time, like it's wrong but right" I said, confusing myself and probably Laura.

"Don't worry, you get used to it, just wait until marriage like you had planned" She said shrugging her shoulders.

The kids came back. It turned out Sammy got distracted for a bit and both boys won. She was almost crying but Jake gave her his prize: A huge teddy-bear holding a heart. It was the cutest thing ever! I thought, just before Sammy planted a huge kiss on Jake's right cheek and hugged him by the neck. Gaw! Adorable! SO cute!

"Come one kids.... Time to go home" I said. As if those words were magic, the kids instantly grew tired and sleepy and began making their way to the parking lot. Halfway there, the fireworks started, but the kids were too sleepy so we headed home. We dropped Laura and the kids at their house and headed to ours. I got out and had to carry poor Jake inside. I placed him on his bed and tucked him in, not caring if he was in his pj's or not.

"Sleep tight big guy, God bless" I kissed his forehead and turned off the lights. I then changed into some sweats and went to my work area and began drawing for the spring collection. When I was almost done with one of the sleeves of a dress, there was a knock on the door.

"Who could it be at this hour of the night?" I wondered out loud, checking the clock. It read 9 p.m. How strange, I wasn't expecting anyone...

There was another knock and I hurried up. I ran downstairs and marched to the door.

"Coming!" I yelled to the stranger behind the door. I opened it and was met by none other than Harry Styles. Oh fuck.....
