Harry
June 6, 2014

---

I rested down alongside Delilah in her comfy single bed with an aqua tinted blanket sprawled out on top of us, keeping her and I warm from the AC rushing through the house. Her hand was intertwined with mine underneath the soft covers as her head rested upon my shoulder. I could smell her sweet perfume radiating off of her every time I inhaled. The sound of the movie played in the background as I gazed at Delilah, taking her in.

‘What are we?’ I asked myself as I rubbed circles on her thumb with mine. We are friends yes, but somewhat more than that. Friends with benefits? No, I care about her. Calling us friends with benefits would be degrading what we have, but what do we have? Feelings. We have feelings for one another.

“Harry,” She softly spoke below the echo of the movie.

I continued to look at her as she gently turned her head to face me “I have something to ask you” She put in the picture.

“Shoot…” I told her as I adjusted myself against her headboard and rested my head against it.

Delilah did the same before she started to nervously play with her wrist brace, starring down at it. Her mouth gaped open before she clenched her jaw, probably wondering if she should raise the question. She shook her head prior to her eyes meeting mine. “When you kissed me” She began, she then swallowed the spit in her mouth before going on, “Did you regret it afterwards?” She inquired.

I broke eye contact with her to gaze at my shoes that rested on the side of her bed “Now, what you make you believe that?” I mumbled.

“Because in class today you seemed a bit awkward around me, and you didn’t want to talk about-“

I then quickly cut off her rambling “You are over thinking it” I stated before she nodded in agreement “Listen, Delilah. I care about you, more than a friend. Now, I have no idea how you feel about me but I like you. You are the most modest and caring girl I have ever laid eyes upon” I confessed as I edgily played with her hand. “And to answer your question… yes, I did enjoy it. A lot” I grinned before a smile spread on her face along with a snigger.

We sat facing each other on her snug bed before her lips quickly met mine. The kiss ended as fast as it begun before she spoke “I like you, too.”

I smiled at her statement before I felt my cheeks flush pink. “Did I just make Harry Styles blush?” She dramatically said before she placed her hand on her heart, laughing.

“Shush it…” I laughed before I concealed my face in a pillow in embarrassment.

“Oh don’t be so shy,” She said “I think its cute”

I then turned my head to face her once again and smiled. I smiled in liberation that the girl I cared about felt the same way. I smiled at the fact that I was here, with her. What more could we be? Possibly date? But she just got out of a rough relation ship, I don’t want to rush her into a new one.. She needs time… that’s what ill give her. Time.





I stood in her front doorway about to leave for Tanner’s as I looked at Delilah. “Do you want to go to the movies tomorrow?” I asked “Spider-man came out.. We should go see it” I told her.

She then quickly nodded before speaking “Yeah, I would love to”

“It’s a date then” I smiled “I mean, unless you want to go just as friends then that’s cool” I awkwardly spoke as I rested my hand on the back of my neck.

She then let out a laugh “It’s a date.” I then smiled, later I sighed prior to looking away from her, seeing how dark it was appearing outside. I should have been at Tanner’s hours ago.

“Hey, Ill see you tomorrow then” I mumbled, still not making eye contact with her.

Delilah gave me an assuring smile before I turned away and walked to my car, but not spotting it in the driveway. I quickly realized that I left it at school because Delilah wouldn’t get in the car.

Probably a bit panicky about them sense she was in an accident not too long ago. I then began to walk back to the school; luckily it wasn’t too far away.




“Bloody hell, I shot him!” Tanner fussed at the screen as he played call of duty with the sound blaring. “This game is rigid…” He said, tossing his controller next to him on the couch, giving up.

“How could it possibly be rigid?” I asked him as I scroll through twitter on my phone.

“He could have hacked the game. I shot him... He should have died” He complained, making me roll my eyes at him with a laugh.

“It’s just a game…” I affirmed to him as I took a bite out of the slice of pepperoni pizza we ordered not so long ago, so it was still warm.

“Why were you late?” Tanner asked before he got up and walked to his Xbox and ejected the game from it before putting in a new game. Once that was done he headed back to the couch and let himself fall upon it “You’re never late.” He added.

I chewed and swallowed the food in my mouth before I replied back “I was at Delilah’s house.” I said. I saw no point in lying. Why would I want to lie?

“Are you guys like together?” He interrogated as he picked up his 3rd slice of pizza from the cardboard pizza box and stuffed his mouth.

“No, but I was thinking about asking her to prom” I confessed, peeling my eyes away from my phone to observe his reaction.

“Dude, you just met her...”

“And?”I spoke. I had no utter idea why Tanner wants me to stay away from Delilah. What did he have against her?

“Do you really want to waste your prom on her?” He scoffed.

“I wont be killing my prom night… I want to take her” I said, “I just need to find out how”
“Well you can’t top mine… Mine was… Pretty amazing” He chuckled.

“Oh yeah, How much did those balloons cost? A dollar..” I joked before I let out a chuckle myself “No, but it needs to be big and special... she deserves it”

“Maybe you can ask her with pizza” Tanner stated “Pizza is life” He said before taking another bite. Just when he finished his sentence I heard the sound of my phone ringing. I swiftly picked it up and noticed I got a DM on twitter from @Conner_

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as I put my password in and opened the twitter app.

“Guess who sent me a DM on twitter” I said to Tanner, not peeling my eyes away from the screen.
“Delilah?” Tanner guessed.

“No, Conner did” I told him as I clicked on the message.

“What does that fucker want?” Tanner asked as I read the message.

From: @Conner_
Hey, Harry. I was wondering if we could talk about something.

“He wants to talk, but I don’t see what about. I have nothing to converse with him about” I said as I replied back

To: @Conner_
What about? I have nothing to say to you…

Tanner didn’t say anything as he just watched me type my reply and send it. “Should I talk to him?” I asked.

“I don’t know, but I don’t trust him…” He confessed as I got a once again got a brand new message.

From: @Conner_
I just want to talk, here... Meet me next to the arcade in about an hour so we can talk.

“He wants to meet next to the arcade in a hour” I informed Tanner before setting my phone down next to me on the couch with no intention of replying.

Tanner then let out a mocking laugh as he grabbed his car keys “You know next to the arcade is an ally.”

“Well, now I do”

“In every movie or book something bad always happens in an ally way” Tanner chuckled.

“Yeah, I have noticed that.” I said before getting up from the comfortable couch before stretching “So, We are really going to do this?” I said with a yawn.

“Yeah, At least listen to what he has to say and if you don’t like what you hear then we can just leave” Tanner said, swirling his keys around his finger, making them clank together.

“I guess you’re right” I said before I walk towards him “But...” I spoke as I snatched the keys away from his grasp “I’m driving”

He then threw his hands up in defeat before we started to head out to his car. All I had to do is listen.. Listen to what he has to say. We can leave when we want, its not like he can hold us there against our will. Because he can’t… Right?




I drove Tanners vehicle down the road making a stop once at McDonalds with some time to spare because Tanner was hungry, but he just ate pizza. I never understood how he can eat a meal for a family of five and then be hungry ten minutes later, is that even safe?

We both sat parked in the ally way, waiting for Conner to show up on the other side, luckily both ends of the ally are open so if we have to escape we can, that is if we have to, but we wont have to… I hope.

“Dude, you look like you have just seen a ghost.” Tanner supposed as I peeled my eyes away from the other end of the ally to look at him.

“I’m just not sure if this is a good idea…” I mumbled.

“Wow, man. Its not like I’m going to take your virginity” He joked as he looked away “It’s just Conner, he cant do us any harm”

I felt somewhat relieved that Tanner was here just encase something did go down. But that’s just encase.. I doubt anything will happen besides listening and talking.

We rested there for about ten more minutes in silence before I noticed a figure appear on the other side. I quickly turned the car headlights on reveal who was heading towards us. The light exposed Conner shielding his eyes from the brightness I shined on him. He was saying something to us both, but we couldn’t comprehend what he was trying to say from inside the car. I shut off the car, making the lights fade out before Tanner and I both made our way out from the car to face Conner.

“You fucking Idiot…” Conner fussed as he walked towards him.

“My bad” I bluntly said before speaking again “Now, What do you want to talk about?” I basically asked him.

He continued to rub his temples as he replied “I want to talk…” I rolled my eyes at his slow mind.

“We know,” Tanner butted in “But what about?”

“I want to apologize..” Conner said with a sympathetic look spread across his face as he walked towards us. Maybe he wasn’t such a bad guy after all... Maybe was wrong. But how can I be so sure with just a sympathetic expression?

Tanner had a confused look on his face, not buying what he was putting out “For what? You should apologize to Delilah..”

Conner then let out a scoff “Oh, Please. That bitch got what she deserved...” He stated, making me build up with anger. I tried my best to stay calm, but it didn't work. I clenched my hand shut, it was a habit I get when ever I get pissed and Conner is really getting me pissed. My knuckled began to turn white as Tanner spoke out again.

“She isn’t a bitch,” Tanner almost yelled “She didn’t deserve it, You basically raped her” Tanner said, trying to keep his cool.

Conner then smirked and looked at us both “Oh, its not rape if you like it. You should have heard her moans” He went on, trying to push my buttons. Getting at me “Her sweet body. She was basically asking for more..wanting more ” Conner was saying before I couldn’t take it anymore. I held my fist tight before I walked to him and punched him square in the face, making him stumble back. I was surprised he didn't try to block the shot or punch back, almost like he wanted me to hit him.

“You shouldn’t have done that...” Conner said as he held his jaw.

“Why!” I hollered at him before I walked to him once again. I was sort of surprised that Tanner wasn’t doing anything to stop me. So why try to stop? “Why shouldn’t I do this?” I asked prior to me punching him in the gut, making him let out a groan. “And this!” I then quickly slammed him up against the wall, letting my anger get the best of me.

Conner then gave me a smirk “I want to apologize for what is going to happen to you two” He said before he yelled out “Soowoop!” I could feel a puzzled look appear on my face, not knowing what was going to happen or what was going on.

I then let go of him as I noticed about six guys appear from both sides of the ally. I watched as Conner fell to the floor, groaning. “Harry, Lets go!” Tanner yelled at me before we both headed towards his car that felt miles away. As I fumbled with the keys, rushing, I heard two gun shots hit the tail light of Tanners car and the bumper. “Hurry up, Harry!” Tanner instructed.

Once I finally got the key in the key hole I hastily unlocked all the doors and started the car as fast as I could. “Drive Dive!” Tanner kept yelling, making me feel even more rushed and panicky. I hastily looked behind me out the back window as I started to drive in reverse, the sound of bullets colliding with the front of the car terrified me as I hoped and prayed that the guys behind us are moving out of the way so I don’t hit anyone. I watched as they all moved up against the ally wall and jumped to the side of a dumpster.

As we successfully flew out of the ally way Tanner’s car was in the middle of the street. “Harry! Drive!” Tanner yelled.

But I couldn’t, I couldn’t drive out from the middle of the street. Its as if my feet were glued to the floor, like in my dream. My dream…

“Harry, Someone is swerving on the rode! Start driving!” Tanner demanded, like Delilah did in my dream.

I knew I was the reason they were swerving and desperately trying to slow down, but to no avail. “Harry, Start driving!” Tanner yelled, his voice felt distant and echoed through my thoughts

My eyes where glued on the now two head lights that were getting bigger and bigger as they came closer. I could here Tanner yell something I couldn't make out because I was too in shock. My dream is happening, it came to life, like I hoped it wouldn’t.. I took one glance at Tanner before the car smashed into the passenger side, making the car flip two or three times, i didn't count. right before it smashed into the front of a boutique shop.

I slowly peeled my eyes open and stared at the steering wheel that was now pressed up against my chest. Glass was shattered all over my lap and Tanner's car was twisted and mangled.

Tanner... where is tanner? Is he okay.. Please let him be okay i was saying to my self before i called out his name "Tanner!"

I waited a few moments and still no reply, i turned my head to find a vacant seat beside me.. he must have flew out the car...no no no. "Come on, Buddy!" I yelled "Talk to me!" I Demanded

Silence took over as I began to kick my feet in frustration. "Talk goddammit!" I screamed as loud as i could.

I sat there, feeling my vision get dizzy and fading "I-I'm... I'm sorry" I said to tanner, but i knew he couldn't hear me. "Tanner McMan... Come on" I begged. I waited for him to reply but i knew he wouldnt.. hopefully for now.

"I'm so sorry, Tanner McMan the man.." I said before my vision faded out and it all went black.
