Healing The Scars

Meeting Harry

Hannahs P.O.V

We were in a small cafe, only half full. I liked it here because it was quiet and secluded from the rest of the busy city. "I'm getting some tea" I told Emily, standing up. "You want anything?" I added. We had eaten and she had a steamy cup of coffee already in front of her so shook her head. I shrugged and made my way to the counter.

"Tea please" I told the lady working the till. She nodded and dissappeared into the back to get a mug. I found myself giggling. "This place is so old fashioned" I muttered to myself.
"You know talking to yourself can be considered crazy" I turned to see a curly-haired boy wearing a hoodie and sunglasses looking at me with a false-serious face. "Ahh, its only crazy if you start to answer yourself back" I shrugged. He grinned. "Fair point" he surrendered. I turned back to the counter to see that the woman was back with my cup of tea. "That'll be £1.75" she told me. I put my hand in my pocket to extract the change but before I had a chance to, the curly haired boy had handed over a £5. "I'll have a coffee to go as well please" he added. The woman gave him his change and went to go make his coffee. "Thanks Harry" I said, picking up my cup of tea. He seemed suprised that I recognised him. I laughed. "Well I dont live in a cave" I winked at him before making my way back to my table. I felt his eyes on me as I walked away. "Who was that?" Emily asked when I sat down. I shrugged. "No one important" I replied airily.

Harrys P.O.V.

"I'm gonna run in and get a cup of coffee" I told the boys. "Ok, we'll wait here but get it to go. Were not gonna wait while you sit down and drink it" Louis told me. "Yeah, yeah, whatever" I muttered as I opened the door. I pulled down my hood. Wearing a hood in a cafe this quiet would get me more recognition than without it. I made my way up to the counter. There was a girl ahead of me. "This place is so old fashioned " I heard her say. "You know talking to yourself can be considered crazy" I told her, pulling a solemn face. She turned to face me. I was surprised at her beauty. "Ahh, its only crazy if you start to answer yourself back" she challenged. I grinned. "Fair point" I agreed. She turned back to the counter. "That'll be £1.75" the woman behind the till told her. She put a hand in her pocket to get the money but I quickly handed over a £5 note. "I'll have a coffee to go as well please" I added. I was handed back my change and the woman went to make my coffee. The girl turned to me. "Thanks Harry" she said. I was surprised she had recognized me and hadn't freaked out. She started laughing. "Well I don't live in a cave" she explained. She winked before walking away. I watched her walk back to her table. "Your coffee sir" The lady was back. I thanked her and made my way back out to the boys who were all watching me. "Who was that?" Zayn asked. "No clue" I replied. "She was really hot" Niall added. The others murmered in agreement. "So what was her name?" Louis asked. "I...I don't know" I replied slowly. How could I be so stupid? I didnt even get her name...

Later

Hannah's P.O.V.

"You ready to go?" Emily called from outside the bathroom door. I stepped out. "How do I look?" I asked her. "Great, as usual" she told me. I grinned. "Thanks"
Emily had decided to take me to a club to 'cheer me up.' I didn't go out much since my father started abusing me. I knew how much trouble I'd be in for staying out but for once I didn't care. I just wanted to enjoy myself.

Emily drove us to the club. I had never been here before and so was a bit nervous. I had just turned 18 last month which was lucky because w needed ID to get in.

There was a huge danced floor in the middle, some seats to one side and a bar to the other. At first I danced with Emily but she started grinding some guy so I made my way to the bar. I sat down on a stool next to a boy, drinking from a glass. "Hey! Its you! The coffee shop girl!" he exclaimed turning to look at me. I looked at him, recognising him as Harry Styles. "Yeah" I nodded. "Weird coincidence" I said. "Must be fate" he said, winking at me. I I.. " So.. Can I buy you a drink?" he asked me. I shrugged. "Why not? You already have today" I replied. He chuckled. "What do you want love?" he asked me. I had never drank alcohol before. I shrugged again. "I'm up for anything" I told him. His eyes glowed. "What's your name?" he asked me. "Hannah" I answered. "Well Hannah, I think we're going to be great friends" he said, laughing.
