It doesn't matter who we are. ~Harry Styles.

Chapter 17

Ugh! I hate myself for this </3 I'm always trying so hard to write a long chapter but for some reason, I can't! I don't know what to add and all that shizz ;/ Please bear with me for all you guys who actually read this. I'll try to make faster updates but I warn you; the chappies will be quite short :C BUT, I have a little gift for you guys who stick with me throughout these lame, tiny chapters. I'll be making another Harry fanfic after this one ends because I know I haven't done a good job at ALL with this fanfic. I've been letting you down throughout the whole thing and I can feel your anger. Even though not many people read this story, I don't want to upset the few of you who actually do! So to make a nice apology, the next fanfic will be better! I do not want to let you guys down with the next one so i'm gonna try my best to do this. But I hope ya'll enjoy this chap anyways! :D x, C.

"Looks like we're gonna have to stay out here for a while." Louis mutturs as he smacks the jeep, almost fuming with anger. "Jeez, I knew I shouldn't of taken this crappy jeep! It's all my bloody fault and-"

"Lad, stop it." Harry mumbles, placing a shoulder on Louis as he walks over to him, giving him a sincere smile. "It's not your fault, chill." Harry says, giving his shoulder a reassuring squeeze.

"We need to call the management right away." Liam mutturs as he's tapping away on his phone. We're in silence as he presses the phone to ear and after dialing again and again, he grunts. "No signal." He hisses, running a frustrated hand through his hair. "Where the hell are we, Lou?"

"In the middle of no where, that's where we are." Claudia grumbles, crossing her arms against her chest as she absentmindly kicks a random pebble. "We can't even get home now because of you, Louis and-"

"Will you just shut up?" I snap, anger boiling inside of me as my head snaps towards the blonde. Everyone's eyes widen at my sudden outburst, Harry's containing some sort of twinkle. "Complaining isn't going to get us anywhere and stop blaming it on Louis. He's not the damn jeep!" 

"You're the one to talk, Skye. You've been annoying throughout this whole trip, clinging on Harry and blocking me from letting me even touch him." She mutturs, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

"It's not true." I mumble, glancing at the floor. She was right though. I wanted Harry to be my side desperately and I couldn't deny the fact that I was madly jealous whenever Claudia and Harry laughed together, smiled together or just did anything together. "Stop changing the subject to Harry all the time." I say. "We can't forget the fact that we're stuck out here."

She lets out a bitter laugh, sending shivers down my spine. "Unlike you, Skye, I have something special to go home to. A rich mom and a rich dad. A rich mansion and calls from Harry every damn hour. You're not worth even being near One Direction because all you have is a selfish attitude. All you go home to is your mom and that's it. Where's your dad? Was he too ashamed of living with a girl like you?!"

I stare at her in complete disbelief as pain rain downs on me. I can't move an inch of my body at the last sentence she had just spat at me and I feel as if i'm paralyzed. I can feel my breath hitch as those unwanted tears begin pricking my blue eyes. "I-it's none of your business!" I shriek, letting my tears fall miserably. "You can insult me all you want, but don't you dare say a word about my family!" I snap, my voice cracking half-way through. I'm in complete misery and pain and the thought of happiness is not even poking my brain. I'm thinking all about the sad things that might happen to me and no matter how hard I try to look away, my brain shows the picture of my complete family, the family i've always wanted.

"Claudia, did you have to take it that far?" I can hear Harry muttur as I walk to the jeep door and swing it open, jumping it and slamming it shut as I sobbed to my knees. I only take one glance and see that Coralie's yelling at her and Mina looked like she was about to slap her, but her hand was stopped by Zayn. Liam's not even looking at her as he shakes his head and Louis looks straight out pissed. Her reaction is just a scowl. I sigh, my sobs stopping down to hiccups. 

The door slowly creaks open and I watch as Harry comes in and closes it, sitting right besides me. He slings an arm around my shoulder and pulls me towards him, letting my arms freely wrap around him as my head rests on his chest. I didn't even have to ask. This was the position that Harry and I had when I cried for family problems. It felt exactly like old times, but instead, it was his 'girlfriends' doing. "Shh." He murmurs softly against my head as I hiccup, tears threatning to come out. "Remember what I told you a while back?" He begins. "That crying isn't going to solve any problems? I know how hard that was bearing to listen what Claudia said and I can understand how miserable you're feeling but sometimes," He removes his head from mine and places a finger on my chin, making our eyes lock magically. "Sometimes, you have to bear the pain and show everyone that they can't just underestimate you."

"They can underestimate me because i'm not brave." I sob as another tear rolls out of my eye. Harry's thumb blocks it and he wipes it casually away as he sighs, letting our foreheads collide gently.

"You're saying things about yourself that aren't true." Harry says. "You're not the old Skye I knew. The old Skye was so stubborn, she'd fight for her own oppinion. The old Skye never even knew the words 'giving up'. The old Skye would always mean what she says and believe in her self and," He pauses, leaning in slowly. My breath hitches as our lips meet softly. "The old Skye always knew i'd be there for her." He murmurs against my lips before making movement. I sigh in contentment as I sweetly kiss back, my arms slinging around Harry's neck. It wasn't a steamy or passionate kiss, just a kiss where I let out all my emotions. A kiss where he told me he'd never leave my side.

A kiss better than all the rest.
