One Direction To Something Great
Opening The Window To The Soul
As the week rolled by and Anna became comfortable with One Direction, she decided to wear no more make-up. One morning she woke up to shower and had her clothes picked out, Red Skinny Jean, and a black off the shoulder Iron Maiden t-shirt with flat black shoes and her hair was up in pig tails and went on her day. woke the guys up to get ready to write some songs with song writers that were coming in. She made hot tea for them all to drink.
"you think you can bring me some cookies or cake?" Niall asked as he grinned at her
Anna smiled and blushed by his sweetness, as Harry was watching this he was not liking it at all, a little jealousy rises up but he could not do anything except be a gentlemen and figure out a way to charm Anna over to his side.
"Niall you need to stop being such a sweetheart, no wonder all the girls call you the cute one" she laughed and Niall smiled back and said
"you know I can't help it, I am just being me!"
"why do you not have a sweet girl by your side just yet?" she asked
"oh I don't know, I guess it's because I am still waiting for her. I just don't want to have a girlfriend just to mess around. I am looking for something serious. I grew up to not play with people's emotions."
"Well that is very smart of you, most guys just go for it when they see someone they like instead of getting to know that person to see if they really like the person or not. Now these days people only date because they are either good-looking or want sex." she said bluntly Harry and Zayn decided to get on in the conversation.
"not true! we don't get in relationships because we want sex" said Harry, Anna looked at him a little puzzled
"I said most guys, I didn't mention anything about you."
"no he's right I mean sex is not everything to us, don't get me wrong it's important but it is not everything." said Zayn
"I don't know what you are talking about but sex is very important to me" Louis said as he stuck out his tongue at Harry. Anna laughed as she caught on to Louis jokes.
"well I just want a girl to like me for me and not because of what I do. I love to spoil my girl and when it comes to sex, I prefer making love, I mean I take that seriously." Liam said. Harry shook his head at Louis and looked into Anna's eyes and asked her a personal question
"Anna what do you think about sex?"
"oh I don't believe in premarital sex." she said as she looked down at her planner and her watch to see how much time they have left before going to their next appointment.
"What?!" they all yelled in a surprise at the same time.
"you never had sex?" Harry asked in awe
Anna gasp "you mean you have? all of you?" she played as if she was surprise in sarcasm
"seriously that is unheard of, we rarely meet people like that in this era" said Louis and the boys started laughing. Anna stared at them blankly
"are you laughing at me?" the boys all became serious
"no! no not at all it's just very cool that you are committed that strongly. most people couldn't do that." said Liam. Harry became more intrigued with the mysterious Anna.
"mind if I ask you, why do you not believe in premarital sex? I mean it's very normal now." Harry really wanted to know the answer. Anna looked at him and snickered and rolled her eyes and looked down at her planner.
"are you going to ignore my question?" asked Harry
"yes, because I don't like answering an ignorant question that you will probably never understand or get. plus it's a long story and we don't have time, the song writers are going to be here in like 10 minutes. plus you guys jump to conclusions and think I am a virgin." Anna grinned
"well are you?" they all asked
Anna looked in a dazed and Harry noticed something different in her eyes, it looked more confused and sad. She sighed "to be honest I don't know." then she looked up at them
"how can you not know?!" Niall asked
"well... you see..." Anna started to explain until she got interrupted and the song writers came in.
"hi boys! lets get started with the new next album!" all the boys turn back to lift their hands in the air
"awww you ruin it! she was just about to tell us her story!" yelled Zayn
"well to bad maybe next time boys" Anna smiled as she got up to leave the boys to do their jobs and left the room.
as time went on and the boys were finished with another concert and another day at 2 in the morning Harry could not sleep, all day he could not stop thinking about the look on Anna face and what she was about to say. He got up to put on his sweat pants and shoes to go and start working out and shake things off his head. as he went to the gym he sees Anna alone with her mat and doing yoga with relaxing music. As he walked in with his towel he smiled at her "hey, what are you doing up so late?"
"oh, it's the only time I have to do some workout and plus I get up in the middle of the night sometimes so I am like yeah yoga sounds nice." She says as she turns to him and smiles while doing her worrier pose. Harry starts to notice her even more now he can see her in her tight yoga wear. He gets on the treadmill and starts walking for warm up.
"so about earlier of what you said. what do you mean when you don't know? I mean the look on your face was very sad."
Anna sighed "you noticed that huh?" she changed position to the triangle
"well, as a little girl I was always dreaming of falling in love with a knight in shiny armor to come and rescue me until one day my father's co-worker came over, and he started becoming friends with the family then one night he took me on the side and gave me my first kiss, I was 4 years old. Then the next few days he started touching me..." she became silent as she sat indian style and looked in a daze as if she was re-living that moment. "one evening he came into my bedroom and said to me 'love me, can I show you how to love me? your my best little girl right?' I shake my head yes not knowing what he meant, I admired him and I thought he loved me like a daughter, then he started touching my face and says 'your such a pretty girl, always be my little girl, I hope you stay this way forever.' so then he showed me sex, I didn't know what I was doing or what he was showing me, I mean I thought this was normal because he was showing it to me right? I always thought adults will never show any harm towards children. I remember afterwards I just sat up and wondered what happened. then the next day he would come and do it all over again. then my mother had the talk with me at age 8 wanted to speak to me of what true love is and how God created sex as a gift to us all humans I fell in love with the idea of waiting for the marriage bed for my husband only problem was...it was taken from me and I didn't even know that something I held precious an evil man robbed me of my innocence...now how could I tell him to stop? I became scared of him and useless and after he would be done with me I would go to my closet and cry and I remembered feeling so alone and in my innocence I cried to God saying 'Lord now what man will take me, now that don't have anything to give to him when I am older?' I became very sad and cried every time that man raped me. then within that year it got worst. But eventually it stopped, I never had sex with another after that. and some people would try and tell me it does not count because I didn't give my 'heart' away...but scientifically...I'm not a virgin...I have nothing to break...it was taken away from me...sadly I became that victim and it's hard for me to accept and to claim to be a 'virgin' when I know that it was taken from me. And that knight and shiny armor...no longer a dream that has been shattered to pieces" she still looked down and her eyes in a sad mode. Harry stopped the treadmill and went over to her and sat next to her and looked right at her listening to her story in shock and his heart felt broken for her.
"Anna, you are still considered a virgin in my eyes and to many."
"try telling that to a victim...I mean to this day my parents still don't know about it."
"you mean you never told your parents? why? he is still out there?"
"yea, and I didn't tell them because I don't want them to blame themselves for what happened to me, because it was not their fault, it was the man that did it. so I kept quiet and its kinda embarrassing to me."
"so you had to deal with this all alone?"
she teared up and whispered while she looked down "...yes" Harry cried and held Anna tight
"Anna...oh Anna...I am so sorry, I am so sorry you had to go through that alone." he kissed her forehead as he cried for her
"it's okay. I went to therapy on my own, and every now and then the past does come and haunt me and I have to let the inner child cry because I didn't let myself cried much during my time of being raped, so I let the child Anna cry her pain out. it's really a way of healing. I don't want premarital sex because God created it to be beautiful, and I don't want to compare my husband to anyone else. also God says wait because he knew how much it can hurt us emotionally when we do have sex before marriage and then the relationship ends. It was not some rule, it was to protect us all along and to show us who really loves us that are willing to wait for you and with you. sex belongs to God and it's beautiful. but the enemy comes and perverse it and turn it to something selfish and wicked and hurtful and making us think sex will make everything better. you say it's normal to have sex now. But it's really not. I don't want to get hurt anymore so I guard myself and because I love God so much I don't want to do anything to hurt him." she then looked into Harry's eyes. he was amazed by her and saw a glimpse into the window of her soul and he became more drawn to her, more beautiful in his eyes.
"hey..." she said
"your eyes are green. I never noticed before." He smiled a little. she hugged him and whispered "thank you for listening to me"
"thank you for sharing with me. and don't worry I won't say anything." he kissed her forehead and held her for a while. she pulled away and wiped her tears and said "excuse me for my horrible face" she chuckled
"no, are you kidding me? you are so lovely don't be ashamed of them" as he helped wipe her tears away.
"thanks for being a good friend Harry, I hope we become even more close as friends." she said. Harry smiled but inside he is hoping for something more and that he will not be viewed as a friend. she nudges him
"let's get back to our workout huh?" she smiles and he chuckles and got back on the treadmill only this time to start running. as he was running She did a down face dog with her butt up in the air and Harry became distracted by her backside and fell off. she looked up with concern. Harry laughed.
"I am so sorry I got distracted by your glorious backside. I never notice you were so firm." he laughed and she laughed with him and said
"oh Harry. the Casanova, better be careful to not say that to any interviewers or they will take it seriously." she laughed and he felt relived knowing he could start being himself around her. they looked at each other and smiled.
