Chapter 23

Harrys Pov:

I pulled her with me down the hallway, I had already hinted to the lads not to come with us, and of course they listened. I stopped and opened the door for her to get in but she wouldn't move ,"Olivia" I said and even I could hear I sounded harsh but at least she walked into the room, I lead her to the back and sat down, soon she sat down beside me. I couldn't help but to notice the terrified look on her face and it hurt me to think that she thought I would ever hurt her, "You know I'd never hurt you, right?" I asked her and when she just sat there quiet it hurt more than ever, "Olivia, please" I begged and she looked at me like she was trying to figure something out, "I-I know" she stutterd lowly. We sat there looking at eachother when something in her eyes changed "Why aren't the boys here?" she asked and the scared look came back and I simply stated "They had to take care of something" she got up and was just about to run when I grabbed her wrist, "Please don't" I begged her "But Harry, what if they hurt her" she tried but I just shook my head 'no' she looked surprised at that but continued "How can you be so sure they won't?" I could tell she wasn't convinced "Because I didn't tell them to" was all I said and she looked surprised "So what, you're like the boss?" she asked, I chuckled at the way she said it and shook my head 'no' again "No, it's not like that, it's just that they allways check with me first, I guess" I shrugged "So you can promise me that they won't hurt Alex? she asked still not convinced "Yeah, they won't touch your friend, they're probably just gonna talk to her" I could tell she relaxed a bit, knowing her friend was safe, but then she got that puzzled look again "Why did you bring me here?" she asked cautiously "I thought we could talk" I watched carefully to see her reaction, she smiled and I relaxed a bit "So what do you wanna talk about?" she asked and I just shrugged and started "I don't know, we just haven't really talked that much and I mean you're my girlfriend, I should probably know something about you, right?" I saw her draw in a breath at the word 'girlfriend' but choose to let it slide "Yeah I guess" was all she said, I kept her gaze and waited for her to tell me something about herself but she never did, I saw her realize I was waiting for her and she started "Well I'm Olivia Carlin, I'm 17 and I live in a house with my mom, brother and our stepdad. I moved out here from California and apparently I'm dating you" I smiled at the hint about us dating and to be honest it felt nice, her saying it "your turn" she told me and I started "I'm Harry Styles, I'm also 17 and I live in a house with my mum and sister, no stepdad." I mimicked her and she gave my shoulder a light push "Don't mock me, Styles" she said with a smile on her lips and I smiled back at her before I continued "I've lived here my whole life, my dad used to live here too, but he left about a year ago" "I'm sorry" "Don't be, I'm fine without him but I feel really bad about Mikayla, she doesn't even know who he is" thinking about how our dad had just walked out on us and ruined every chance Mikayla had to know her dad really hurt, I hated him for it. "You really love your sister, huh?" she asked carefull not to upset me but the thought about my sister made me smile "Yeah, she's amazing, you'll have to meet her again soon" she smiled at me and I couldn't help but to think how beautiful she was and seeing her smile and the sparks in her eyes now made me remeber the terrified look she had had just a little while ago and I got sad thinking about the fact that she was scared of me "Do you really think I would ever hurt you?" I asked her in a low voice "I'm sorry, Harry. It's just everyone told me to be carefull and I mean you guys don't really make the impression of being saints" she tried to explain but I still felt hurt about it, just the thought that she actually thought I would ever lay a hand on her made me want to cry, how could she think I would ever hurt someone as beautiful, as sweet, as vulnerable as her. "But I know now that you'd never hurt me, Harry" a sad smile crept on my lips, even now, trying to comfort me she was still scared I would get upset, maybe I should just give up, I mean if I scare her this much I should probably just let her go, right? Maybe there wasn't anything I could do to make her feel the same way as I felt about her, I means she was terrified. But suddenly I felt her sweet lips on mine, it was a light kiss and it didn't last for that long but the feeling of her lips on mine actually almost made me feel butterflies.
