Harry's P.O.V

She takes a step out the door; I'm not letting her walk out of here knowing that she's going on a date with Luke.

"No you're not." I grab her arm and pull her back into the room pinning her against the wall. The feeling of her skin against my own is one I've truly missed.

"What the hell Harry, get away from me!" She pushes at my chest and steps to the side, escaping my hold.

"You are not going on a date with him!" There is no way that she is going on a date to him.

"I am, so just stop this! What does it matter to you if I go on a date with him?"

"BECAUSE HE DOESN'T FUCKING LIKE YOU AND YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GET HURT!" She takes another step back from me with sadness. Her eyes trail around my room looking for a way out of this.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED WHEN WE GOT BACK FROM CAMP!" Why is she making this about me?

"WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ME!" She shakes her head at me and heads for the door again, I run up behind her and close it before she can open it. I keep my hand flat against the door, towering over her.

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM HARRY!" Why does this have to be so hard with her?

"YOU ARE NOT GOING ON A DATE WITH HIM! WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANT TO GO ON A DATE WITH HIM?!" When I see him, he better run the other way...far, far away from me.

"SINCE WHEN DID YOU START TO BECOME INTERESTED IN WHAT I DO AND WHO I GO ON DATES WITH? YOU'VE BEEN COMPLETLY IGNORING ME THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND NOW YOU'RE YELLING AT ME FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE YOU!" Who she goes on dates with, how many dates has she been on? Why does she have to make this so fucking hard?

"I HAVEN'T BEEN IGNORING YOU! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS SO FUCKING DIFFICULT?!" I shouldn't be yelling at her for this, it's my own fucked up self-that’s the problem.

"I'M NOT MAKING ANYTHING DIFFICULT! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS MAKING EVERYTHING DIFFICULT! I MEAN FIRST YOU PUNCH LUKE, THEN YOU WOULD TAKE ME AWAY EVERY NIGHT AT CAMP AND WE WOULD, WELL WE WOULD, YOU KNOW AND NOW YOU ACT AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED!"

"NOTHING DID HAPPEN!" Shit that wasn't supposed to come out. Her beautiful eyes fall to the fall, not able to look at me. I wouldn't be able to look at me either.

"I'm not staying here and listening to this." She opens the door and runs out of the room and out of the house. I want to run after her but I can't, I've told myself a million times no more Avery.

Avery's P.O.V

I run out of his house with tears in my eyes. How could he say those things? That I'm not going on a date with him? That he doesn't like me? That nothing happened on camp, nothing at all, no kisses, no conversation that only us two know the little secrets of each other’s life’s? Why is he ignoring me, what happened, what did I do, I don't think that I did anything wrong. Does he even have a memory?

I keep walking letting the sound of Sam Smith fill my ears, the tone of his voice calming me down as I walk the streets passing houses. I turn down the street, seeing my house at the end. I walk faster as I feel the tears becoming uncontrollable; I keep sniffling them back before I barge into the house and going straight to my room. I sit down on the edge of my bed, I can hear shoes storming down the stairs and I know it will be my Mum coming down here to give me an ear full as to why I wasn’t home last night. I wipe my tears away with the back of my hand and quickly with my fingertips under my eyes. She doesn't knock but swings the door open; her facial expression says it all. Her eyes bulging and body stiff with anger.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?! I WAS UP THE WHOLE NIGHT WORRYING ABOUT YOU! YOU DIDN'T EVEN CALL ME!" I'm not ready to have another screaming argument, I don't think I'm ready for any argument after Harry. I don't understand what his problem is.

"I was out. Dan was supposed to pick me up but he didn't, so I came home and the two of you were fighting again, like you usually do. A guy from school who drove me walked me up to the door and could hear you so I slept at their place, I then went to school this morning and after school went to my frien- just someone from class; we went to his house because I have to do an assignment for English with him." I fell myself getting tired, tired of everything. Mum's attitude changes when I mention Dan, her posture softens and her eyes lose their fire.

"I didn't know that he was supposed to pick you up; he just came over." Silence greets the room like an unwanted enemy, always there but never going anywhere.

"So how do you feel about this?" There are too many emotions running through my body to even know what I feel about this.

"I don't know." I guess that in time I'll figure out how I feel about all of this. She walks over and sits down my bed next to me and rubs my back, comforting me.

"He was telling me how he wanted to be a part of your life again but I didn't think he would do that sweetie." So they've been talking to each other, after what he did to her they have been talking. How was she not telling me any of this, keeping me in the dark until the time came when he would say that he just wants to talk?

"So you were talking to him and didn't bother to tell me? Why didn't you tell me?" The movement of her hand faults and drops to her lap, joining her fingers together. Her blonde hair has fallen around her face, her brown eyes desperate for an answer.

"Avery it was just as much of a shock to you as it was for me. One day he just turned up at the doorstep. I haven't forgiven him and I don't think that I ever will for what he's done, but you deserve to have your Father in your life." How did she not tell me this?

"I can't believe you didn't tell me this! He was constantly texting me and saying things and I couldn't tell you because I know how you get when I mention him! Now you tell me this whole time you were talking to him and I could have talked to you about this!" I stand up from the bed not willing to sit next to my Mum. She should have told me about this.

"I'm sorry Avery but I didn't want to worry you, it really was a shock what he did. Just showing up on the doorstep one day after no contact fro eight years." I calm down feeling sorrow for my Mum; I walk back over to the bed and sit down next to her, she takes my hand in hers giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"How do you feel about this?" I feel bad for not asking this earlier, she asked me how I was feeling but I didn't even think about how she was feeling. The worry, confusion and sadness are all present in her eyes as she looks in mine.

"I’m fine, really I am but you should have a relationship with your Father. What he did was wrong but maybe he's changed." Maybe it's time for me to start giving him, his second chance.

---------------------------------------------
*Next day*

This day has been going so slow, all I can think about is my date tonight with Luke. The bell finally goes, I pack up my stuff and walk through the corridors. I bump into a few shoulders as people run to catch their bus; I see a couple sucking each other’s face, then I see the guys mop of curly hair, then I see the girls long fake blonde hair. The guys eyes open and immediately catch mine, once again I lose myself in the sea of green but keep walking past them. I feel Harry's eyes on me as I walk out of the school and down the steps, I quicken my pace a little eager to get home so I can get ready. I get home earlier than I normally do and get straight into the shower, I wash my hair and scrub down my body. The warmth of the water is relaxing my nerves for tonight. Luke hasn't even told me where we are going, I get out of the shower and dry off wrapping my towel around me and exiting the bathroom and going to my room.

What to wear, what to wear...what do I wear? I rummage through my wardrobe, trying to find something descent to wear. My phone buzzes and I go to check it.

From: Luke
Hey, don't forget about tonight. Can't wait to see you

He thinks I would forget about tonight?

To: Luke
I haven't forgotten:) But where are we going? From: Luke
We are going out:)

I laugh to myself at his clever reply.

To: Luke
Can you at least tell me if I should dress fancy or not? From: Luke
Hmmm, just jeans and a top is good:)

Well that makes things much easier for me. I sort through my clothes some more before I find an outfit that seems right.

Avery's outfit

I check the time and it's only six thirty, that’s good I have an hour until he's supposed to be here. I blow dry my hair and quickly go over it with my straightener, I put it up in a pony tail that sits in the middle of my head, with a few strands of hair on either side of my face softly hanging down. I stand in front of my full length mirror and use a light dust of foundation on my face and some mascara. I take a step back and feel satisfied with how I look. I check the time again, 7:15. Ok fifteen minutes I walk out of my room and to the kitchen to get some water, I hear keys jingle in the lock and my Mum and John walk through the door.

"Hey sweetie, how was your day?" It's a little different seeing John walking through the door with Mum, I have a feeling this is something I will have to get used to.

"It was ok." I walk over to the kitchen, grab a glass and fill it up with water.

"Are you going out tonight Avery?" I turn around and it's only John standing outside the kitchen.

"Umm yeah." He nods his head and fixes his jacket before speaking again.

"Well just make sure that you don't come home too late tonight, you really worried your Mother last night when you didn't come home." I should probably tell Mum where I'm going before I go.

"I'll tell her when she comes back." I hear heels clack against the hardwood flooring and know it can only be one person, Mum.

"Tell me what?" I look from Mum to John, his eyebrows raised encouraging me to tell her.

"I'm just going out, I won’t be back too late." Her lips purse as she thinks about it, she wouldn't say no would she?

"Fine but don't make it too late Avery; I don't need you doing to me what you did last night." The smile on my face grows stretching from ear to ear. I give her a peck on the cheek and go to my room grabbing my phone. I look at the time and it's 7:30, my phone buzzes in my hand. A message from Harry.

From: Harry
Be careful tonight; don't do anything you'll regret.

What would I regret?

Ding Dong

Luke,I race out of my room and to the front door; hopeful to get it before my Mother does. I look around the corner and Mum is already talking to Luke, I can't believe she is doing this! Walking up to both of them, I pass Mum saying my goodbye and take Luke’s hand leading him down the few steps to the house. I'm pulled back by my hand and lose my footing, landing in Luke's arms.

"Don't I get a hi first?" My smile grows even more than it already has.

"Hi." He takes my hand in his and brings it up to his lips, a gentle kiss is placed to my hand. He, leads me over to his car. He opens the door for me ad waits until I'm fully seated before closing the door. He jogs around the front of the car and gets in starting up the car and pulling out of the driveway, cruzing down the streets.

"So are you going to tell me where we are going?" Luke’s head turns to me with a beaming smile on his face, he grabs my hand and doesn't let it go.

"You look beautiful by the way." My cheeks turn a light shade of pink as I look out the window. It's not long before we pull up to a movie theatre, I unbuckle my seat belt and get out of the car, meeting Luke around the front of the car.

"So I take it that we're watching a movie?"

"Now what gave you that idea?" I laugh on the inside and let him take my hand and lead me towards the door of the building. A young girl who probably uses this job so she's able to go out when she wants, is waiting behind the ticket booth ready to serve us.

"Two tickets for the proposal please." The young girl types away the information on the computer. I furrow my eyebrows together, I thought that this movie has already been out a few years ago.

"They are doing re runs so I thought that you would like it."

"I do like it." I lean into his arm a little more but am interrupted by the girl in the both.

"Here are your tickets, enjoy your movie." I thank her before being whisked away with Luke. We enter the movie room, the lights start to fade out as Luke guides me towards the back of the room. A few other couples have had the same idea as Luke and I by coming here tonight, we take our seats in the middle at the back. When the room is complete black the screen comes on, the outline of the couples very clear. It's also very clear about their interest in the movie as they all start to have steamy makeout sessions. I see Luke shuffle in his seat a bit before taking my hand in his, bringing it up to his lips to place another delicate kiss. Then another further up my arm, he keeps trailing kisses up my arm, to the base of my neck, up my neck, my chin, my cheek and the corner of my mouth. His hands are holding my face, he pulls back for a second looking into my eyes for any stop signs. Should I be getting myself into this with with him? When I don't say anything he takes it as a yes and leans closer and closer, so close I can feel his breath spread out over my face. I close my eye's and then I feel his lips on mine, the cold rawness of his lips brining shivers to my body. His hand leaves one side of my face and traces down the side of my body and back up again, resting his hand on my breast. I open my eyes from the kiss feeling uncomfortable with how this is going, I pull back and take his hand off my breast.

"I don't really feel comfortable doing this." I turn back to watching the movie but am turned back around when I feel Luke’s hand on my upper thigh. I turn towards him really feeling uncomfortable now.

"Luke I don't think-"

"Shhhh just relax babe." He leans in again with a harsh forceful kiss this time. I try pulling back but his hand is pushing me forward into him more, his hand on my thigh tightens and I start to freak out. How am I going to get him off of me? I pry his hand off of my leg and next get his hand away from the back of my head. I stand up not wasting another precious second. He looks up at me with an agry expression, both his legs are out to the sides, he's slouched down in his seat and his hands are placed on his legs.

I turn around and walk straight out of that movie, no Luke, no clue as to what happened in there and no more date.

-----------------------------------
*Monday last period*

"Now before the bell goes I hope that you are all making progress on your Venus and Adonis assignment."

DING, DING, DING

I pack up all of my stuff heading for the door.

"Hurry up." I turn around seeing Harry behind me but quickly overtaking me. I catch up to him making sure not to fall behind, he pushes open the front door and I notice Luke waiting at the bottom of the steps. I've tried my very best to avoid him today but obviously he hasn't forgotten about our little 'date'.

"Avery, I-I'm sorry about the other night. I don't know what happened." Of course he knew what happened, he was the one that did it.

"Just stay away from me Luke." Harry stands closer to me as Luke takes a step closer. I begin to walk off with Harry following, but Luke makes the mistake of trying to grab me again. Harry grabs his arm before it could reach me and pushes him back, I try to convince Harry to just leave it alone and forget about hi but his ego gets the better of him.
“Fuck off.” He pushes him back once more and starts walking to over to me but Luke grabs him by his shoulders spinning him around.

“Why can’t you just keep out of everyone else’s business!” Harry turns around to me handing me his keys. I look up at him with confusion as to why he gave me his car keys.

“The car is parked just over there, go unlock it and get in. I’ll just be a minute and then we can go back to my place and finish the assignment.” He turns around once more back to Luke but Luke’s attitude has changed significantly from just a few moments ago, raging eyes and balled fists now present.

“You’re going back to his place!” He takes a step forward getting closer to Harry but also closer to me. He pushes at Harry’s chest but he doesn’t move, he takes a step back and prepares to throw a punch at Harry; he brings his fist up to Harry’s face but Harry quickly and very luckily dodges the punch but delivers a good left hook to Luke’s face. He stumbles to the ground and rolls onto his side. I stand in shock and look at Harry as he walks towards me unfazed by what he just did.

“Let’s go.” He takes my wrist pulling me along hurrying to his car, I turn back to see if Luke is ok but see that Rose, Abbey, Mo, Sean, Jake, James and Cooper are all helping Luke get up. I receive questioning looks from the girls but keep walking with Harry and out of their watchful gaze; Harry opens the door for me and I get in. It was a quick drive to his house and we make it into his house and into his bedroom without any words spoken, until he decides to ask the one question I wish he wouldn’t.

“What did he do?” If I tell him this, I don’t even want to know what he would do.

“It just didn’t go to well.” And that was true…it didn’t go well, it was far from what I would have imagined it to be.

“He was fucking pissed off; so tell me what happened. Did he touch, did he do something to you?” Why is he so worried, this happened last time when I said that I was going on a ‘date’ with Luke. I need to know what this crazy mind game is that he’s got going on.

“Why do you care so much? You ignore me and now you talk to me, what has gotten into you?”

“Nothing! Fuck why can’t you just except anything!” I have to except things?

“What do I have to except?! I mean I’ve already excepted the fact that you’re not talking to me and for some reason don’t want to acknowledge me in public!” I walk to the other side of the room putting distance between us but it’s all lost when Harry walks over to me standing closer than what I thought he would.

“I DO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU BUT FUCK YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY!”

“I DRIVE YOU CRAZY?! I’M NOT GOING TO DO THIS! YOU CAN’T TALK TO ME WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE TO, AND COMPLETELY IGNORE ME WHEN EVERYONE CAN SEE!” I hurrily walk to the door eager to get out of here. I’m stopped by an arm wrapping around my waist, I squirm in his hold but give up when his other arm wraps around me.

“It’s not like I meant to ignore you.” He whispers with a husky voice in my ear. Is he apologising?

“What?”

“During camp. Something just happened and I got these…feelings and I couldn’t let it happen. So I figure if I ignore the feelings, then you know. Then over time the feelings would eventually you know, slowly disappear.” That’s what he was doing this whole time, ignoring me because of his feelings?

“So basically because you had feelings you were ignoring me, don’t you think that’s a little fucked up Harry?” His arms tighten around my waist as he draws me closer to him.

“You don’t get it. The feelings were for you. If I had to ignore my feelings then I had to ignore you…and I don’t want to ever fucking do it again.” He buries his head into my neck and leaves a few soft kisses.

“Harry.” He turns me around and tucks my hair behind my ears.

“You’re such an idiot sometimes.” His deep chuckle fills the room. He leans his head down, giving me a kiss to the forehead.

“So long as I’m the only idiot in your life.”
