**Dina**

No matter what you do, smile. It doesn’t matter who hurt you in the past or who you’ve hurt before, today is what counts. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Live and thrive, forget the people who don’t want you to be happy. Remember to smile. Just. Smile.

Her smile was ever prominent on her lips as she stared at the happy couple in front of her. Both Louis and Johanna were glowing with happiness and it made Dina long for that herself. But she still smiled. Just as her father once told her to do. Just smile. Whenever Dina thought about her fathers’ words she always started to cry. It hurt. Thinking about how she failed him hurt. Trough out her life she always tried to stay happy and find the people who made her smile, but somewhere along the road she stumbled and fell. She found herself in bad company and she lost the ones she loved. Her father stopped talking to her, or was it her that stopped? She could never remember anymore. All she could remember was his words, just smile. The idea of being happy all the time gave her enough courage to smile, at least some times. It might seem odd to someone who is used to have it come so easily, but to Dina smiling was hard. If you asked her friends then they would tell you that Dina was always happy. She smiled, she laughed and she enjoyed life.

Finding her way into criminal arms wasn’t difficult. He was there when hope left, even if that sounds like a cliché. Her smile became more of a smirk. She began taking her father’s words more to heart, although not in the way he would’ve wanted her to. She would hurt people daily, and woke up each morning, reciting the words to herself quietly. ’It doesn’t matter who hurt you in the past or who you’ve hurt before, today is what counts.’

“Isn’t it easy?” A dark voice broke her train of thoughts. When her gaze snapped to the person next to her they landed on Harry Styles, Louis and Johanna’s close friend.

“I’m sorry?” She slightly shook her head and her face showed how confused she was. During the last five years she was stuck in jail, she had gotten to know Harry. She was certain that she wanted to jump his bones the minute she got out, but her heart was scared for both him and herself.

“It’s easy to smile even though you’re jealous of them…” He nodded his head towards Jo and Lou before looking down at his hands.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Dina felt herself get angry with his lame attempt to seem like he knew her. She moved her chair away from the one he was sitting on, hoping he would catch the move.

“Yeah okay.” His tone was extremely sarcastic and she tried to ignore him, but he kept on speaking. “How about you and your happy feelings just sit here and sulk on your own then. I’m gonna go to the bar and get wasted, because this smile won’t be present for much longer.” Dina snorted as Harry waited a second before walking away. When she saw that he was at the bar her gaze turned to the happy couple once more. She was happy for them, she really was. Johanna deserved someone who could take care of her. Throughout her life Dina had never met another person who was stronger than Jo. Even though she’s been through hell she still found happiness, because she found Louis. Sighing to herself, she stood up and made her way to the bar. Harry noticed her just as she called the bartender over, and when he was about to speak she put her hand up.

“Could I get a shot of Mintuu and a glass of white wine, please.” She turned to happy and saw his annoying smirk. “Don’t even say it.” She put her hand up once more and spoke with a warning tone. After quickly thanking the bartender she downed the shot and took a sip of her wine.

“Say what? I’m in the same boat as you love.” Dina groaned but felt a smile creep its way onto her face. He wasn’t in the exact same boat but in a similar one.

“Yeah, that’s what I meant.” Her tone was dry but there was a hint of happy sarcasm in it. She tried hard to keep the smile off her face although it was hard. “Don’t relate to me, popstar. It’s wrong in so many ways.” Her voice sounded ridiculous as she spoke and she shuttered to add affect to it all. Harry simply laughed and raised his glass for her to clink. He simply shot her a smirk, showing her that her words didn’t affect him at all. Feeling like punching the boy in the face, Dina turned her head away from him and towards the bartender.

“So…” Harry started speaking but only to draw out the word and say nothing more. This made Dina frustrated and as she whipped her head back towards him she saw something in his eyes. She wasn’t quite sure what it was, but his eyes were dark.

“So what?” Her words sounded harsher than she meant them to be, but why should she care? She certainly wasn’t in the mood today and Harry was a fun little punching bag.

“So…” He started just like before but shook his head as if he changed his mind. “I never got to know how old you were.” He wasn’t even asking which frustrated Dina.

“You know it’s rude to ask a woman about her age.” She took a sip of her drink but couldn’t find it in her to meet his gaze. Her eyes were now on her hands.

“Well, considering I’ve known you for almost five years now, it wouldn’t. Because really I’m asking the five years younger you how old you are.” Unable to keep the smile of her face, Dina finally turned to look at him. She sighed loudly and shook her head.

“You’re one strange boy, you know that?” She giggled a little and shook her once more, stalling while she tried to figure out how old she was five years ago.

“Boy? I’m thirty years old Dina. I stopped being a boy a long time ago.” Even though his words would’ve seemed light, his tone told Dina that he found something difficult with it all.

“Ugh, fine.” She sighed one last time before she looked up at the boy, oh no sorry, man sitting next to her. “I’m turning 24 actually.” She smiled towards Harry and he nodded.

“And you’ve already been in prison for over five years? That’s something to put in your resume.” Dina stiffened when she heard his words. Sure, they were true but they still hurt her a little. But being the sneaky girl she always has been, she looked over at Harry with a smile before snorting.

“Isn’t fascinating how much I’ve been able to do in such little time. Unlike your penis that is.” She pretended to see someone calling for her and noticed his shocked expression. “Oh it looks like Perrie wants to speak to me, excuse me would you?” Without waiting for his response she downed her wine and walked away from him. She hated that he made her feel stupid, because that’s what how she felt now. Her decisions in life hadn’t been the best and if anyone else had said those words to her she wouldn’t have cared. But this was Harry Styles. Mega star and more famous than the Beatles. How could she ever compare to him? She was just another good girl gone bad, maybe too bad to be good again.
