Young Minds, Young Love

Avery's P.O.V

"FUCK DAN YOU CAN'T JUST DO THIS TO HER! HONESTLY I DON'T BLAME HER FOR HOW SHE REACTED!" I close my eyes taking a deep breath from the screaming match coming from inside the house; it's just like old times when they would have their screaming matches; Mum would yell then Dan would yell, then Mum would yell louder and Dan would yell even louder, they would never just talk; always yell. I feel Harry rub is thumb over my knuckles drawing me back to his question.

"I think it would just be better if I go inside." I know that Mum would get pissed with me if I don’t come inside and she doesn’t know where I am, it would make this ordeal bigger than it has to be. His hand falls from mine, I look up to him, his arm now stretched out to the door pointing out the obvious.

"You can’t be serious, you can hear them just as well as I can."

"YOU DON'T GET TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO WITH MY CHILD! SHE IS MINE JUST AS MUCH AS SHE IS YOURS!"

"WELL APPARENTLY YOU'VE GOT A NEW FAMILY AND A NEW CHILD SO WHY DONT YOU JUST GO HOME AND BE WITH THEM!"

I can feel the tears start to make their way to my eyes the longer I stand here listening to them argue, it's just like when I was younger and I hate those memories.

"Come on, we're going back to my place. I'm not letting you stay here and listen to this." He takes my hand and pulls me away from the door, running through the rain. He runs around to my side of the car and opens it for me, helping me in. I watch as he jogs around the front of the car and opens his door in a hurry to escape the torrential rain.

"Fuck it's raining hard." His hand comes up to his hair, ruffling his now wet curls. The time passes by quickly as I stare out into the rain, the droplets racing each other down the window.

"Avery come on!" I look to my left and find Harry standing in the rain with the door open, waiting for me to exit the car. I grab my bag and head to the shelter of his house with Harry hot on my trail. He races to open the door and once we are in the warmth of his house, I feel much better but my teeth still chatter away.

"Come with me." Harry takes my hand and leads me to his room, he lets go of my hand and walks over to his closet.

"Go take a shower and warm up. You can wear these." He hands me the clothes and shows me where the bathroom is. I turn on the water and let it heat up before stripping down and getting under the water. I stand under the water for a couple minutes, enjoying the heat it is providing me.

Why do my they always fight? It was quite around the house for eight years and Dan comes back, yelling like he used to and it all starts again. He can't just come back into my life again and pretend like nothing happened. That he didn't cheat on my Mum, get married and have another child!

I grab the soap and scrub at my skin, trying to rid these emotions; I don't want to think about any of this, I just want to relax and eventually I will start to get used to the fact that he wants to be in my life. I wonder what Sienna and Charlie will be like, would Charlie look like Dan? Would I look like Charlie? Does Charlie even know I'm her sister?

I run my fingers through my hair and take another deep breath, composing my questions before washing off and getting out of the shower. I dry off and put on the clothes that Harry gave me, a pair of grey sweats and a plain black top that reaches my mid-thigh. I towel dry my hair and leave it out before steeping out of the bathroom. I hear a commotion coming from the end of the hall and make my way towards it.

I find Harry making a fire and is already changed into a pair of boxer shorts and shirtless; I gulp down and quickly divert my eyes from that site. All of his tattoos are perfectly on display, and the glowing affect from the fire isn’t helping this one bit. But holy fuck he is hot, even if he is being a douche bag to me now, I can still think that he's good looking. I see him turn around and I smile before making my way around to him. He sits down in front of the fire and rubs his hands together before sticking them out to gather the warmth of the fire, I sit down on the other side of the fire about three feet away from him.

"You warm enough?" I nod in response unsure of what’s going to happen. Is he just going to ignore me now in his home? Or is he actually going to say something, anything at all for that matter. I turn my head to the right hearing phone starting to buzz from the other side of the room; I know that it would either be my Mum or Dan, they probably both want me home now. If they knew where I was I'm sure that my Mother would shoot me. I turn my head back to the source of heat and fall into the magical florescent lights of the fire. I bring my knees up to my chest and wrap my arms around them, resting my head on my knees but still looking at the fire. My eyes start to close on me, giving the comfort and clear head space that I need.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" My eyes shoot open at what Harry says. I thought I was just coming back here for a couple hours at tops, just until things died down at home.

"Oh no-no, I should probably get going back home so that Mum doesn’t get too worried." I struggle to get up from the floor but manage to do so, in a good way without looking to awkward.

"I'm not letting you go back there, you can sleep here tonight." He gets up from the floor and leads me back to his room, he opens the door and walks in after me.

"You can sleep in my bed." He turns around to leave the room.

"Where are you going to sleep?" I ask, he grips the door handle a little harder than before taking a calming before answering my question.

"On the couch." Now I feel bad, this is his bed, I should be the one on the couch after all he is letting me stay the night.

"You don’t have to sleep on the couch-"

"No, you can sleep in the bed, I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight Avery."

"Good-" I'm cut off once again with a little jolt of my body, but this time not from Harry interrupting me but from the slam of his door. I walk over to the bed and pull back the covers, crawling into the bed. My head hits the pillow and the only sight I see is a field of darkness.

--------------------------------------------------
*Next Morning*

I feel the bed dip down slightly, I roll onto my right and see a shirtless Harry sitting on the bed with his back faced to me. He gets up, walking over to his closet looking for something, he turns around with one of the white school shirts in his hands and tosses it to the bed beside me. He's standing there in his skinny black jeans hanging a little low and his scuffed black boots.

"Morning." I yarn and sit up in bed.

"You can wear one of my shirts to school today, we're leaving in fifteen minutes." Fifteen minutes?! I rip the sheets from my body and jump out of bed grabbing the shirt he gave me and my now dry skirt, I run to the bathroom and change into uniform. It's a good thing I forgot to take off my bra last night because getting dressed takes me a few more seconds and I'm finished. I look in the mirror and my eyes widen in horror, that is not a pretty sight in the morning; I don’t even have my makeup here to fix some of this up! Not even a little mascara. I quickly rake my fingers through my hair and tie it back into a loose French braid, but Harry's stupid long sleeve shirt keeps getting in the way. I roll up the sleeves to my elbows and continue. Once I'm finished I run out and back into the bedroom where my shoes are, I put them on and stand up noticing Harry already dressed.

"You ready to go?" I nod my head rapidly, being very impressed at how quickly I got myself ready. He turns around and starts walking to the door. I grab my bag and hurry after him just in time before he closed the door. I think what I just did should be a record. I watch as Harry opens the door for me and the going around to his side, I get in and close the door putting on my seatbelt whilst Harry turns on the engine. He goes over the speed limit tearing down the street. I fiddle with my hums nervously not knowing what to say, should I even say anything? If he wanted to talk to me he would have, so I'll just leave it how he would want it, no talking. We pull up to school and I hope out and so does Harry, before he walks off I get a word in.

"Thanks for the ride and last night." He nods at me and I watch as he walks over to his group and lock lips with Bec. I look away and quickly walk inside the school, not wanting to ever see that again. Why is he doing this? The bell goes and I make my way to my first class, one that's not with Harry, but with Luke; history. I take a seat down the back and get out my stuff waiting for the other students to fill the classroom. I see Luke come through the door and he walks to the back and takes the seat next to me.

"Hey." He has a big grin plastered on his face and his attitude for a morning and school day is unusual.

"Why are you in such a good mood?" I watch as he puts his head down and shakes it before looking back at me.

""What are you doing tonight?" Well I am supposed to be going to Harry's for this English thing.

"I'm going to a friend’s house so I can do an assignment." I know that if I tell him that I am going to Harry he will flip shit again and no one needs that.

"Oh, ok well what about tomorrow night?" His grin is still present and he looks like a child who got offered a whole tub of ice cream.

"I don't think I've got anything on...why?" He is still smiling! I wonder what he's got to say.

"Well you and myself will be going on a date." I lean back in my seat crossing my arms and looking at him with a smile now on my face.

"Are we now?" I ask, Luke leans back in his seat with his arms folded before giving up on repeating my actions and leans close to my face.

"Yes we are, so get yourself all dolled up and ready to go by 7:30."

"Fine."

---------------------------------------------
*After school at Harry's house*

"So what do you think about Venus and Adonis?" We've been trying to figure out how to put the words in our head, onto paper and it's a lot harder than the teachers make it out to be.

"I don’t fucking know and I don’t fucking care." Does he have to be so rude?

"Did you even read it yet?" I wait for an answer but don’t get one. I pull out the poem from my bag and chuck it at him.

"Read it, it will help out understand-"

"God can you stop telling me what to fucking do!" If he doesn't want me telling him what to do then that's fine, I’m not staying here and putting up with his erratic behaviour. I pack my things away in my bag and walk

"Are we still on for tomorrow?"

"What? We are not doing this tomorrow, you didn’t say anything and I have better plans than to sit around here with you and put up with you being even more of a jerk and an ass hole then you already are right now." I watch as he gets up from the bed and walks over to me.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" His questioning demeanour is getting the better of me, I fiddle with my bag strap avoiding his gaze.

"I'm just doing something." I lie.

"You’re lying." Guilty as charged, but I shouldn’t feel like this. It's none of his business who I go out on a date with.

"You know what I'll tell you, I'm going on a date. You happier now that you know?" I fold my arms and stand my ground. His face goes from depressed to fury in two seconds.

"With who?" He wants to know with who?

"Just someone, why does it matter to you who the person is?" I can see his fists clench up but then release once.

"Tell me who it is Avery." Should I tell him?

"I'm going on a date with Luke." I see his face drop and it breaks my heart, I turn to open the door but am stopped by his words.

"No you're not." He can't tell me who I go on a date with. I take one step out of the room before I'm pulled back in and pinned up against the wall.
