Just Harry and I.

Chapter Three.

My first thought was to run to the hospital and give them the money, but I had to wait a few days for the cheque to clear once I had put it in my bank and, at two in the morning, I very much doubted that any banks would be open.

So, I went with my second instinct, to thank those god damn boys! Oh my god, is all I could think of. I shouldn't except this money right? They've earned it fairly and I'm sure they've worked very hard for it. I had to deny it, no matter how much I didn't want to. I got out my phone to text them.

To Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne.
OH MY GOD GUYS YOU CAN'T DROP THIS BOMBSHELL ON ME!!! Thank you lot so so so so so so so much it honestly means the world to me. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow it'll be lovely. I better get my snooze on now then if I want any energy at all for tomorrow though;) you boys are such amazing people and I'm so glad I met you. May need to rethink my fave boy band, soz One Republic hehe. No matter how nice the gesture of you leaving me and my mother THAT much money was, I simply can not accept it. You've worked your asses off for that much, you shouldn't give it away to the first damsel in distress you meet;).

To Scarlett Jones.
Scar, please take the money. £30,000 can buy us new clothes etc yeah, but this could save your mums life. That is so much more important. You're lovely too, that's why we're doing this for you. We could see the pain and terror in your eyes that you thought you were going to be alone for the rest of your life if your mum leaves you. We have to do this, we're not taking no for an answer, k? Whatever happens we're always here. Also, lunch is still on for tomorrow then? WOOP. Luckily, we're in Holmes Chapel for two more weeks which we want to spend with you of course:D we'll pick you up at 12, wear something fancy doll.

I could not force my face out of a smile. This was literally such a miracle to me and the most amazing day of my life in 21 long years.

-THE NEXT DAY-
It was 9am and I'd already finished getting ready for my lunch with the guys. I was wearing a plain white blouse, perfectly fitting my body shape, with a black collar and black silk buttons placed vertically down the middle. With it, I wore a waist-high denim look skirt from topshop, tucking my blouse into it as I did so. It was a rather warm day so I figured I'd wear stocking tights. The pattern started from my feet and finished just above my knee in a little black bow shape. These were my favourite pair. I added a silver necklace my best friend had bought me around my neck. I then slid on a pair of black stilhettos and finished my look with a black cardi.

My make up was dark and smoky around my eyes with cat-flicks. I'd put on a spot of concealer to reduce the size of my bags under my eyes but other than that I had no make up on my actual face. Finally, I had a pinkish, cherry lipstick which reminded me of Harry's lips. I smoothed it over mine and pressed them together. All I needed to do now was my hair.

I put a little bit of my hair up into a semi-ponytail, leaving the rest of my hair down. The hair I had left I curled, then sprayed it to keep it secure. Where I had tied my bobble at the back, I placed a white bow on top to match my stockings and the colour of my blouse. I was pretty impressed with my outfit and look today. I was trying my best not to ruin it.

I was SO tired that morning. I'd been texting my friends about every single little detail that had happened that day. They couldn't believe it and to be honest I couldn't believe it myself. They were super jealous, especially the ones that were One Direction fans themselves.

Since I had three hours to kill I decided to visit my mum and put the cheque into the bank. I put the cheque in first, then drove to the hospital. My car was a pile of shit but it got me around. I walked up to the reception desk.

"Hi, my name is Scarlett Jones I'm here to visit my mother, Kayleigh Jones." I chirped.

"There is no name down for an appointment here." the receptionist scowled.

"Oh, I never rang up to book one? It's not like a therapy's lounge. She's my mother."

"I don't care who you say you are, if you don't book an appointment to see her. You can't go in." She snapped.

"Bitch." I murmured.

"Pardon me?!" she yelled as I walked away from the desk.

"You heard me." I shrugged, rolling my eyes. Since when did these rules exist?

It was 12pm. I was waiting impatiently by the door. I was so nervous but I was buzzing from head to toe. Finally, after what felt like 20 minutes, the doorbell rang.

"Coming!" I shouted through the door. I didn't open it straight the way because I didn't want to give the impression I was stood waiting apprehensively, even though I was. I pulled the door wide open and was greeted by Mr Styles. His appearance was phenomenal. He was dressed in a smart, collared top with skinny black trousers and a knitted blazer. He looked so cute. His cheeky smile gave me butterflies which fluttered ferociously when he bent down to give me a kiss on the cheek. That kiss. It melted my heart.

When we arrived and I'd many hugs with the lads, we were seated in a private room away from public customers. The room we had been placed in was a huge, old fashioned dining room, though it had many modern features. It had a massive projector screen at the bottom end with sky, sky +, broadband boxes and even a karaoke machine. Sweet. It was nice to experience these sort of things because I never had done before.

For lunch Harry, Zayn and Liam had a huuuuge Beef Burger with Chips each. I had a Chicken and Pasta Salad. Niall had Ham, Egg and Chips and finally Lou had Lasagne with Garlic Bread. They tasted so devine and Harry had even fed me a bit of his dessert which was Chocolate and Fudge Brownie. No one else could fit anymore food in, but when we saw Harry's I could tell everyone felt a tad jealous.

After we'd all finished eating, Lou set up the karaoke machine.

"SCAR SHOULD GO FIRST!" Harry yelled, laughing.

"Er, no way!" I shouted back at him.

"Go on, Scarlett. You didn't fail to wow us at the restaurant." Liam winked, persuading me to have a go.

"Ugh, why not?" I gave in.

"YAYAY! I think she should sing 'I Have Nothing' by Whitney Houston!" I choked on my drink as Niall said this.

"That song is massive, I don't think I could handle it. Even professional singers can't." I gulped.

"Who cares, Scar? You'll never know unless you try." Zayn added.

"Here goes nothing." I answered.

*HARRY'S POV*

Share my life, take me for what I am
Cos I'll never change all my colours for you
Take my love I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don't really need to look, very much further,
I don't wanna have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself theirs no where to hide

So don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymor-

As she was singing this I felt goosebumps appear all over my body. Her singing was incredible, she was better than every female singer I knew and this was without her even able to have singing lessons. Imagine how good she'd be with them?

She was so beautiful. I'd only known her for two days but it actually felt as if I was falling for her already. The way she laughed made me smile, her button nose made me think about how cute she was, her elegant light blue, piecing eyes you could compare to clear waterfalls made me shudder in amazement. Her lips, irresistible. I was finding it hard to stop myself from kissing them. Ever since I first laid my eyes on her, there was no way the image was escaping from my head.

Her personality was everything a guy looks for in a girl,good sense of humour, a big heart. By noticing what she was wearing today, she obviously had great fashion sense. When she was singing I couldn't take my gaze off her. I was locked, listening to her soothing yet exquisite voice. The strength in me was hard to take over the power in her voice.

*NIALL'S POV*

Jesus, this girl could sing. It makes me a little sad thinking it had all been thrown away for some stupid waitress job. She could go so far in life. All she needed was a singing tutor, surely we could help her with that? We were a band afterall...

It was then, that I noticed Harry's grip on her. I'd never seen anything like it, Harry was truly into this girl and to be honest, watching him watch her made me content. He'd never looked like this before, so happy, so settled, so relaxed. He was falling for her.

"Psst, Lou!" I whispered over to Louis.

"Yeah mate, she's brill aint she?" he replied.

"Yeah, she really is. But, look at Harry. What do you think?" I saw him look over at Harry and evaluate his actions.

"He loves her, even if he doesn't know it yet." I nodded.

"I think so too."

"Look at Scar, though." Zayn over heard and decided to input his opinion. Lou and I scanned over to Scarlett. The way she was singing so passionately it was if we could see the emotion being transferred through to Harry.

"She loves him." Liam said, over hearing too. God, how loud were we whispering? Not that it mattered though, Harry and Scarlett were simply lost in their own worlds. Too zoned out into each others company as to even notice there was anyone else in the room.
