⏩Harry⏪
I could hardly sleep last night, spent most of the hours staring at the dark. I was nervous and completely out of my mind. I couldn’t focus, I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t think, I couldn’t even wonder.
Alison makes me feel things no one has ever made me feel before.
Asking her to basically go out on to dinner with me nearly killed me because I was freaking out inside, but sweating like an idiot on the outside.
Sarena was sitting on my lap as we watched TV together. The other girls were upstairs going through the clothes and things I got for them. Sarena didn’t really care, she told me she just wanted to sit with me.
She’s such a sweet little girl.
“Harry.’’ She mumbles, squeezing her hand tight around my finger.
‘’Yes darling?’’ I ask softly.
‘’Do you like Alison?’’ She asks.
I sigh, gulping afterwards. How do I answer this? Directly? Or.. basically lie to this child? I’m not going to lie to her, that would be completely wrong. I might has well tell her. Who could it hurt?
‘’Yeah, I do.’’ I reply.
‘’Do you like her.. or do you love her?’’ She asks, her voice soft and low, almost a whisper.
‘’I-‘’
I was cut off by a serious of loud knocks on the door. I sigh as I pick Sarena off my lap and sit her beside me.
‘’I’ll be right back.’’ I promise her as I kiss her forehand.
I stand up and go towards the foyer, the knocking getting louder and louder by the second. But I know who it is, so I don’t get mad. She was just getting excited that’s all.
Finally I reach the door and open it before Perrie has the chance to pound a hole into it.
Alison looked absolutely stunning, thanks for Perrie’s help. The dress looked beautiful on her, her hair was perfect and her smile was as gorgeous as ever.
‘’You look.. amazing.’’ I mumble to her as I hold my hand out to her. She puts her palm in my mine and I squeeze her hand as she gets out of the passenger seat.
‘’Thank you.’’ She says, blushing hard at me. God that’s so adorable.
‘’Did you pick out the dress?’’ I ask as I keep a hold of her hand as I shut the door and make sure it was locked, and it was.
‘’Yes, actually. But Perrie is.. a sweetheart, she really helped me out. It’s been a long while since I dressed up like this.’’ She laughs lightly as we go towards the door of the restaurant.
I look around casually, hoping there aren’t any paparazzi or people with their phones out and thankfully there wasn’t, for not at least. Alison takes my mind off the world as she beings to speak to me, holding my hand just as tight as I was hers.
‘’You didn’t have to do this, Harry. We could have just talked in the kitchen.’’ She smiles up at me.
‘’It’s alright, I wanted to do this. Besides.. this is more.. what’s the word.. um, appropriate I guess. Nice dinner, good wine, and a beautiful girl.’’ I shrug lightly, praying that I didn’t already screw this up.
‘’Beautiful girl? You must be meeting someone else here.’’ She sighs lightly, doubtfully.
‘’Oh please, Alison, anyone can see how beautiful you are. Inside and out.’’ I say as I open the door and allow her to go in first, of course not letting her release my hand though.
I was liking this, I mean loving this, a lot and I didn’t want it to end at all. It’s barely started but I still didn’t want it to end any time soon, or at all really.
‘’Name please.’’ The hostess asks me as we reach the podium she was standing behind.
‘’Styles.’’ I tell her with a sigh, I just wanted to get settled down and start seriously talking with Alison tonight.
‘’So, Alison, tell me about yourself.’’ I say as the waiter leaves the table after giving us the bottle of red wine.
‘’What do you want to know, Harry?’’ She asks with a light smile.
‘’This might be a little rough to talk about.. but um, the situation you’re in.. how’d it.. happen?’’ I ask curiously, I just really wanted to know.
‘’Well.. um, after my dad died.. I came up here from Nashville. My aunt lives in Albany. For a while we lived in a small apartment.. I had an okay job you know, just enough. I don’t know how it all happened.. but.. I lost my job.. and.. I was trying to find another one but before I could we were kicked out of the apartment. And since then we’ve never had any where to stay, which was about a month ago when that happened.’’ She informs me of a few things I did and didn’t know.
‘’It hurts me.. to know that.’’ I mumble to her, admitting that this affects more than just her, trust me.
‘’I didn’t want to take advantage of you, and I didn’t want the girls to get.. used to everything because.. I.. I don’t know anymore.’’ Alison sighs, looking down at her hands.
‘’It’s not that I don’t.. appreciate it, I do really.. so much more than you will ever be able to understand.. but.. I wasn’t raised with many luxuries that people take for granted. I never had many friends.. I did okay in school, but not good enough. I.. I’ve been loved or cared for by anyone except my parents. I’ve never been in love. I’ve never.. I just wanted to do more for.. for the girls, like I promised I would.. but I haven’t.. and I can’t. I just want their lives to be better than mine was.. I want them, I want us, to do better.’’ Alison looked up at me, her eyes watering a little.
She sighs, looking back down at her hands again. I felt the sting in my heart again as I saw those beautiful eyes shed a few tears. I didn’t want to see her cry, I refused to see her cry.
Because I knew if she was crying then something was wrong, and that was breaking the promise I made to them. Everything’s going to be okay, but right now it seems as if it never was okay for her. But I’m changing that. I’m going to change that forever.
‘’Let me.. be that person to love you, Alison. I can show you everything you want, I can take you anywhere you want to go, I can give you whatever you want. I want to do that. I will do that, I’m going to do that. But first you have to realize something, okay?’’ I say.
Her eyes meet mine again and this time she keeps them locked on me, we hold each other’s attention as she nods a few times, gently wiping at her eyes.
‘’In order for me to everything I just said, you need to trust me okay? I want to give you the life you need, the one you deserve. You’re such an amazing person and a wonderful sister and you deserve some praise for once. Let me love you the why you need it, all the ways you need it. Let me give you everything you want and anything you’ll need. Let me do this for you. Alison, I’m doing this for two reasons..’’ I pause, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, trying to calm myself down some.
“Reason one.. You need the things I have way more than I need them. You deserve to be treated like a queen, and I want to be the one to treat you that way. I want to be the one to love you. And reason two.. when I looked into your beautiful eyes I saw more than anyone else sees. I saw a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul. You are everything I’ve ever wanted.. and you’ll all I need.’’ I tell her, sighing lightly to myself.
‘’What.. what do you mean?’’ She mumbles, furrowing her eyebrows lightly at me.
‘’Alison, I mean that.. I’m in love with you.’’
We both froze and stared at each other. I was shocked that I admitted it to her, and I’m sure she’s shocked that I said that. I gulp gently as I keep our eye contact, making sure she knows I mean it.
But as I assumed would happen, she was the one to look away first.
