Young Minds, Young Love

Avery's P.O.V

I wake up to the scrunching of leaves close by.

"Keep up everyone we're almost there." I hear someone yell. I blink my eyes a couple of times before they fully adjust to the light. I turn on my left and I can see one of the groups walking down a path that is very close to where Harry and I are, I try to get up but Harry's hold on me just pulls me back down.

"Stop moving." He groans. If only he knew that there is a group about 10 feet away from us. I turn around so I’m facing Harry again, just to be met with bright green eyes.

"Good morning." He gives me a smile and a soft kiss on my lips, I wasn't expecting that. I turn on my left again to see the group; they seem to be coming slightly closer. With a couple more steps my eyes go wide with panic. Abbey, Mo, Sean, Jake, Cooper, James and Luke are all walking this way! I quickly face Harry again.

"We've got to go, there’s a group right over there." I try to get up again but Harry has other plans. He pushes me down and rolls on top of me, squishing me in the process.

"Harry I can't breathe." I mumble from underneath him. He looks down at me and chuckles lightly then looks up to where I was looking before. He rolls off of me and when I try to get up I'm pushed down once more.

"Harry get up we need to leave" I try to unhook his hands from my body but end up failing miserably.

"Harry" I laugh, l can't believe he's doing this now.

"Ok, ok. I'll take you back. Come on." Harry gets up very quickly, and then offers me his hand. Graciously I take his offer and he hoists me up.

We both walk back to the cabins but are shortly stopped by someone clearing their throat.

"Rose? Oh my god Rose, it-it’s not what it looks like." I try to convince her but she doesn't seem convinced, not one tiny bit at all.

"Mhmm. So this is where you've been running off to these past two nights?" She questions, I don’t understand why she's even this far back...isn't she meant to be with her group?

"What are you doing this far back from your group?" I ask her changing the topic.

"I had to go back and get something from the room. Now can you tell me the truth. Have you been with him both nights?" My mouth is hanging wide open, not sure how to answer her question. I look up at Harry, who looks down at me, giving me a cheeky wink, and then I look towards Rose who has an upset look on her face. I'm about to speak but Rose cuts me off before I can defend myself.

"What about Luke?" I can feel Harry’s posture straightens up from just the mention of Luke’s name. "I thought you have a thing with him? You two are always-"

"They don't have a thing! They never have and never will." Harry drags me away from Rose and continues to walk at a fast pace down the rest of the path.

"Harry, you shouldn't have said that." I say in soft voice. He shouldn't be telling my friends what to do, it's bad enough he thinks he can control and tell me what I can do let alone tell my friends what to do. He turns around to me with a deathly glare that sends me a few steps backwards.

"I shouldn't have done that? She shouldn't have fucking done what she did! Who does she thinks she is, Avery your friends shouldn't be making you feel guilty about what you do!"

"Rose isn't making me feel guilty but you sure a shell make me feel guilty for spending so much fucking time with you and loving every second of it when I shouldn't be, then after that time I go and run off with the people I should be spending time with!" I reply. His angry expression softens and he slowly comes closer to me. I drop my head and look at the ground not wanting to look at him after what I just said. I don't even know how that slipped out of my mouth. My thoughts are supposed to stay my thoughts for a reason...so nobody else can hear them because they are mine.

"Look at me Avery." His finger tilt my chin up so I'm now looking into those never ending green eyes.

"I knew that you like spending time with me. You like the time you have with me don't you? It's better than that fucking idiot Luke isn't it?" He questions. I take a deep breath and just push him away and walk past him. How the fuck could he say something like that? He's a cocky asshole who that’s what he is, we have a really good time and then he opens that mouth of his and just ruins evrything!

Harry's P.O.V

Why did I have to say that?! God you’re a fucking idiot my subconscious reminds me. I watch her as she stomps off towards the cabins.

"Avery! Avery wait!" I yell out to her but she's not bothering to listen to me. I quickly run up behind her and grab her upper arm, she turns around to me and rips her arm out of my grasp.

"Just leave me alone today." She says in a monotone. We both walk back to the cabins, Avery a couple feet in front and me trailing behind. Finally we make it back to the cabins, I can see our group walking in the distance.

"That’s our group over there Avery." I point to the right and she looks starts walking in that direction.

"So why are you two late?" Sam asks. He stands there expecting an excuse that he himself would actually believe.

"Because we are, so leave it at that." I snap back at him. Sam doesn't argue with me, instead he carries on with explaining to the others of the different activities we will be doing today.

Avery's P.O.V.

Today has gone by so slowly, like a never ending corridor that I've been running through. We had all finished dinner so Abbey came up with the idea for a movie night at our cabin, all the boys came into our room. We put the laptop in front of my bed and everyone gathered around it. Cooper, Jake, Sean, James and Mo are all sitting on the floor leaning their backs against my bed. Myself, Rose, Abbey and Luke are all squished together on my bed Rose and Abbey on the right, Luke and I on the left. It's so squished that I have to lean back on Luke, I can feel his arm shift from under me and wrap around my shoulder. It is so much more comfortable and I really like this sweet gentle Luke. We all continue watching the movie 'rat race', we are all laughing so much that I might actually need to use the bathroom. Jake stands up from the floor and makes his way over to the bathroom, great now I have to go out into the cold and use the toilets that everyone else uses because they don’t have a bathroom in their room. I start to get out of Luke’s hold.

"Where are you going?" He asks concerned.

"To use the bathroom." I respond. His mouth forms an 'o' shape and he lets go of his hold on me, I'm careful making my way around everyone that’s on the floor. I slip out the door and immediately I feel cold, I make a straight dash towards the bathroom. When I get there I run into one person I didn't want to see, spending the whole day with him was enough and now when I don't have to spend time with him he's just there. I try moving around him but he takes a step blocking my movements.

"Harry, just move. I'm not in the mood for your bullshit 'I just want to get to know you' tonight ok" I tell him.

"But I do. I want to get to know you, you said yourself that you like the time we spend together so why don't we spend more time together?" Fine if he wants to know me I'll tell him.

"You really want to know me?" I ask. He nods at my question and I take a deep breath preparing myself for the answer I am about to give him.

"So I'm an only child I live with my mum and we just recently moved here as you already know. The thing you don't know is why we moved here." His face scrunches up in confusion. "We moved here because of my Dad, he cheated on my Mum when I was 10 and decided at the last minute that he would spring on my Mum that the woman he was having an affair with is also going to be having his child that's on the way. The day he left was the worst, my Mum and Dad were both arguing like cats and Dogs and before he left he had just enough time to tell my Mum and I that we are a sad excuse for a family." By now I can feel the tears cascading down my face, I've never talked to anyone about my Dad before. I've never even talked about him with Mum because every time something reminds her of him she ends up crying or angry.

"The one man in a girl’s life that she is supposed to trust to always be there for her was ripped out of my life in a matter of seconds Harry. Do you know what that feels like?" I swallow down the lump in the back of my throat and keep going. "He was supposed to be there and he wasn't, not even for a silly little school graduation. Not once has he ever tried to call me or meet up with me, I tried for so many years to get in contact with him but he never wanted to be a part of my life. I was just pushed out of his life with no regard for how I would feel. He left us there and every night for I don't know how many years I would hear my Mums cries in the night and go into her room to comfort her all because of what that son of a fucking man went off and traded Mum in for some young slut. When I went over to my friend’s house and they had two parents I could never fully understand how two people could still be so in love with each other because I never saw something like that. So there you go Harry, have you gotten to 'know me' now?" I look him dead in the eyes waiting for an answer as tears come streaming down my face, he opens his mouth to say something but I don't want to hear it so I storm off into the bathroom.

"Avery!" He calls out but I don't bother turning around because he's already following me
