Fight for You

“BYE,” Paige yelled from somewhere in the house as she left for work. I quickly chucked a top and a pair of denim shorts over my favourite red bikinis and grabbed my bag from my room. I walked into Casey’s room to tell her to hurry up, except she wasn’t in there.

“CASEY,” I called as I casually wondered down stairs searching to see if I put my phone in my bag.

“WHAT?” I heard her scream back from somewhere in the house.

“YOU READY?” I walked into the kitchen to grab two water bottles for us. “HAVE YOU SEEN MY KEYS?” I added as I saw they weren’t hanging on the hook in the kitchen like normal.

“NO CLUE.”

“YOU HAD THEM LAST!” I screamed back growing frustrated, knowing everyone would be here soon and I really needed my keys.

“DON’T GET PISSY WITH ME! I DIDN’T HAVE THEM!” was her reply as I could hear footsteps heading towards the kitchen.

“YES YOU DID!” I screamed as I turned around to the doorway to yell more at Casey. Except it wasn’t Casey at the door. It was Zayn. A very frightened Zayn, who held up his hands, palms towards me as if he was surrendering.

“OMG, Zayn I’m so sorry I thought you were Casey!” I exclaimed. “When did you guys get here?”

“Like five minutes ago,” he laughed before reaching behind me and grabbing my car keys off the counter. I grinned at him innocently and thanked him before taking them and followed him back into the downstairs lounge room where everyone was sitting with Casey.

“What didn’t you tell me they were hear Casey!” I glared at her. “I just screamed over the whole freaking house.” I blushed slightly. Casey knew I was a loud person, but in front of new people I was usually quiet and it took longer before I showed them how loud I could be.

“It’s alright, it was kind of entertaining.” Niall laughed at me, coming over to put his arm around my shoulders attempting to make me feel better. I glanced around at everyone to see them all in beach wear. I tried not to meet Harry’s eyes and act like I didn’t care as my eyes brushed over his emotionless face.

“Right well everyone ready to go?” Liam enquired standing up.

“BEACH!” Louis screamed before jumping up from the ground, knocking Liam back on to the couch, and continued out of the room. Suddenly there was a loud thud followed by muffled cursing. We all rushed out into the hallway to see Louis lying on the ground rubbing his nose.

“Who shut the door?” Louis inquired, glaring at each of us in turn trying to find the culprit. A surprising laugh came from the green-eyed boy standing next to me as he helped Louis up and turned to smile at all of us. I smiled back glad that the boy was finally showing some sort of emotion. Except the moment he saw me smile, his smile faded and he walked out the door with Louis. Instantly my smile fell and I was left confused.

“Earth to Skye!” Casey yelled directly into my ear, making me wince, I smacked her in the stomach before heading out and locking the door once everyone was out.

All the girls climbed into my car as the boys climbed into their rental car, with Louis driving. I backed out of the driveway with the boys following. Casey quickly plugged in my Ipod and set the music up for us girls for the two hour drive we had ahead of us.

We finally arrived at our destination and like Casey had said yesterday, it was pretty empty with only a few people going for a run and walk along the shoreline. We all quickly jumped out and grabbed out stuff to set up.

“This place is beautiful!” Danielle exclaimed as she came to stand next to me.

Suddenly there was yelling and then all 5 boys ran straight past us stripping along the way and heading straight for the water. I laughed as Danielle and Eleanor rolled their eyes and quickly collected the boy’s clothing that had been tossed randomly along the beach. Me and Casey laid our towels out and pulled our clothes off so we were left in our bikinis, we then sat down and prepared to sunbake. Soon Danielle and Eleanor joined us on the ground. It was a good day to sunbake as the sun was completely out and I could feel my body soaking up the sun’s rays.

Pretty soon a wet Zayn came back up from the beach and joined us sun baking.

“Not a fan of the water right?” Casey asked smiling. Zayn just smiled and nodded before slipping his glasses on and lying down.

I slowly started to doze off slightly before suddenly it darkened considerably. My eyes snapped open to see four soaking wet boys standing in front of us with frowns on their faces.

“Can we help you?” Casey mumbled with her eyes half open.

“Yes! You are all extremely boring! Get up and do something!” Louis exclaimed while nudging Eleanor’s leg with his foot as she tried to swat it away.

“Let’s play football!” Niall suggested and headed over to the bags.

“We didn’t bring a football.” I stated confused.

“What’s this then missy?” Niall pulled out a soccer ball. Casey and I looked at him confused for a second before realisation dawned on our faces.

“We call that soccer and football is a completely different sport.” I explained laughing.

“Weird Australians,” he muttered as he walked off with the boys getting ready to play. I lay back down with Danielle as Eleanor and Casey jumped up to join all 5 boys in the game.

“Danielle?” I asked hesitantly after a couple of minutes of silence.

“Mmm,” she responded.

“Can I uh ask you something?” she sat up and stared at me curiously urging me to go on.

“This might sound stupid but does Harry not like me?” I asked looking away, kind of embarrassed. I really hoped she didn’t think I was some pathetic fan girl that wanted his attention. I was just confused, he didn’t know me but whenever he was around me he seemed so cold.

“What makes you ask that?”

“He’s just so cold towards me. All the other boys are so sweet. Harry barely talks to me let alone smiles at me.” Danielle sighed.

“He’s just uneasy around people who try to get close to us. We’ve all had people trying to be friends with us just because their famous, even me and Eleanor have had fake friends. Harry’s just probably just being weary and trying to figure you out.”

“He doesn’t even know me though, it’s not fair for him to be like that,” I whispered as the ball went flying past us and Harry ran over to get it.

“I know just give him some time. Eleanor and I certainly don’t think you’re like that. We’ve loved hanging with you so much these last three days.” She smiled at me.

“I’ve loved hanging with you guys too.” I couldn’t help but grin back, my sad mood immediately disappearing.

“Dani, I’m hungry!” Niall yelled from where they were playing. I laughed as Danielle just sighed and shook her head.

“We could go get some hot chips, there’s a great place about a 5 minute walk from here,” I suggested.

“Sounds good, I’ll get two of the boys to come with,” I stood up and chucked my shorts and shirt back on and grabbed my wallet and phone. I turned around to see Danielle walking back with Liam and Harry following. I instantly turned to glare at Danielle as she gave me an innocent shrug and picked up her stuff.

We started to walk along the path that headed to the shops with Harry next to me and Liam and Danielle behind us as the footpath only allowed two people walking together. I started to think that Danielle knew this would happen the whole time. The walk there was awkward as neither Harry nor I spoke. Relief flooded through me as I saw the take-away shop come into view. We quickly crossed the road and I ordered what everyone wanted.

“I have to go to the toilet, we’ll be back soon!” Danielle said quickly before grabbing Liam and rushed off. I sighed and glanced at Harry who looked at me with his eyebrows raised. I just rolled my eyes at him and sat in a chair waiting for the order to be ready.

The chair next to me squeaked signalling that Harry was sitting down next to me. We sat there for a few more minutes in silence while I could feel the anger slowly boiling up inside of me. I hated judgemental people and he had completely judged me the moment he had met me without giving me one chance.

“You know what. You are an extremely rude person Harry Styles!” I blurted out glaring at him as he turned to me surprise evident on his face. “You don’t know a thing about me and you already hate me and I didn’t even do anything to you. I have been nothing but nice. I let you all hide in my cafe when I didn’t even know you. I showed Danielle and Eleanor around because they didn’t know the area and you boys had left them alone. I let you in my house and it was me who agreed to come with you all to the beach because you did not know where it was. If I was so money hungry or fame hungry don’t you think I would have snapped a few pictures of me with everyone and plastered them all over the internet and sold them to trashy magazines already? I’ve had plenty of chances to show you I’m only being friendly for your fame but instead I haven’t been anything but nice and you are just being a jerk!” I couldn’t stop myself as soon as I started and I sat there slightly mortified at what and how much I had just said to him. Harry just stared back at me completely shocked.

Luckily our order number was called and I jumped up to get it. However before I could hand the money over someone’s hand grabbed mine and pulled it back. I spun around to see Harry standing there opening his wallet and handing the money to the girl at the counter who looked like she was about to faint at any moment. We both grabbed the stuff and slowly headed out front of the shop. I began to search for Danielle, needing to escape the company of Harry Styles.

“I don’t hate you.” I heard a British accent mumble behind me. I spun around to stare at Harry, my turn to now be shocked. “It’s just we’ve all been hurt a lot and it’s easier to be wary of people when I meet them instead of trusting them straight away. I’m sorry, I was being completely rude. Forgive me?” He asked looking at me and smiled showing his cute dimples that had made millions of girls around the world swoon.

“Sure,” I smiled back weakly at the beautiful boy in front of me not trusting myself with any more words. Relief was shown through his eyes then I spotted Danielle and Liam walking over. Liam graciously took the bags of drinks from me as we started to walk back. I walked beside Harry like before.

“So are you having a good day?” Harry asked. I couldn’t help but smile at his attempt at small talk.

“Yeah, it’s been great so far, I’ve always loved the beach and the weather has been great. The company has been good too,” I smiled at him shyly; I was just a girl I was allowed to do a little bit of flirting. He merely ginned back at me as we continued to talk all the way back. I could just imagine the smug look on Danielle’s face behind us.
