Harry knows it was wrong to do such a thing.

But he just wanted a minute away from the group. Harry needs to clear his mind, after the things that were said by the paps and a few fans. The things he just heard, such as, 'you make the perfect couple' or, such as 'is that a boy? Who is he to you? Why is he dressed like that?' As if it some sin!

That's what hurts Harry the most?! Who gave you the permission to be a judge and tell the people what's wrong and right? When you're, yourself being judged by someone else. Who gets to decide that pink is for girls and blue for boys? Long hair is for girls and short one for boys? Who gets to decide the boys should be 'manly', just like robots with no emotions? While girls should be barbie-doll-like? Who gets to decide all of this?

And if the people who acts or speak, even dress differently are, freaks, abnormal, mistakes as Harry's real father and his ex boyfriend used and loved to call him by such names?

Then why did god create them? Can you explain this?

He close his eyes for a minute, refusing to let the tears fall down. He doesn't want to break, not again. Harry fought for years to get out of that dark place, and doesn't want to go back there. But it's hard to do so when you feel your insecurities and self doubt rising up to the surface. Powerfully.

Harry's eyes lighten up at the sight of his favorite place, the book store. A place that feels like heaven to Harry.

He smiles once he's surrounded by the so many shelves books, Harry can't really explain it, but something about the books put his mind at ease in mere seconds.

Just like the magic you hear about in those fairytales.

And Harry loves it.

Walking through the shelves, Harry doesn't hesitate to pull a few books to buy, even pulling out a few just to the joy of reading the summary at the back book. Totally losing track of time.

"There you are"

"Here I am" he answers. Not bothering to turn around and face Perrie. "Do you need something?"

"Why did you just disappear?" Perrie frowns when Harry shrugs her off. With his back still to her. "What's wrong H.? Hey, look at me!"

"Give me a minute to pay for the books" Harry says.

Perrie follows shortly behind. Trying to figure out what's going on. She knows Harry better than the boy knows himself. And she can see right through him. To her, Harry is like an open book. That's why she can tell, that right here, right now there's something bothering the boy. Especially by the sight of his red eyes.

But the question is what? "Okay. Talk. What's going on?" Perrie Says, once they step out of the store. She tried to be patient with him, she really did. But his quiet behavior is scarring her right now. And remind her of the past. And that's definitely something that she doesn't want a repeat of. "Harry?"

Harry gives her a small smile to reassure her. Bu he knows it's all in vain. After all, we're talking about Perrie here. And she's knows Harry like the back of her hand. "It just the things those paparazzi said earlier. About how good the two of them look good together, the perfect couple, Eleanor you look beautiful today! Louis, do you think she's the one?" Harry says in a mocking manners. Trying to keep his anger under control. "And let's face Pez. She is beautiful, wonderful even. She gots the look, the attitude. Simply everything, Eleanor is perfect. And what do I have for god sake Pez? She can easily steal him from me, and Louis would fall for her without any problem. Who wouldn't?! . She's amazing"

"Look at me" Harry says defeatedly. "I'm noth-"

"Don't even think on going there boy! Or I swear to god, I won't hesitate to call Gemma to knock some sense into you" Perrie threatens him. Giving Harry a hug. "what is written on your bracelets H.?"

Harry looks down at his white bracelets that filled with positive words. For him to read whenever he feels down, It was an idea that his therapist gave him after that dark time phase. "Love" Harry says.

Perrie rises her eyebrows at him, waiting for Harry to continue. "And?"

Harry just sighs, knowing Perrie would never leave him alone. Especially at times like this. "Happiness, you can, storms don't last forever..."

"And?"

Harry shakes his head at her behavior. He can't believe they're doing this, here and now. He's not in the mood to deal with it. Harry just wants to forget about everything "Leave it Pez. There are a lot of words here"

"True. But you forgot the most important one" she looks at Harry directly before saying it. "I'm worth it. And don't you ever forget that. Because you're"

"And I would never do such a horrible thing Harry" Harry flinches at Eleanor voice. Shock written on his face at the sight of her and Louis. His mind close to panicking, how much did they hear? Harry watches as Eleanor leaves Louis side, moving closer to Harry until she is face to face with him. "You need to understand one thing, I'm only doing my job. Nothing more, nothing less. Sure, Louis is a great guy. Only as a friend maybe a big brother even. I would never come between two people who loves each other. And, you're beautiful Harry and don't you ever doubt yourself" Eleanor Says. Wiping his tears away. "You're my friend Harry and I would never hurt you like that. And you should know, I cannot wait 'till I can tell the whole world and show off about the fact that I'm a witness about this amazing love story from the beginning"

"Besides, not Eleanor, not anyone else could ever steal me from you. Want to know why babydoll?" Louis says. Giving Harry's head a kiss. "They're not Harry Styles! Now where is that smile that I love and adore so much?! Or else you won't get your gifts"

And that got Harry's attention. "Gifts?! Let me see!" Trying to get his hands on the bags in Louis hands. Forgetting all about his worries.

Earning a laugh from the three of his friends around him at his childish behavior. "Not now, you know in a minutes. Let's go and see the guys. They must be going out of their minds by now" Louis says.

"What's the bracelets story? Hmmm?" Louis asks Harry as they walk together. Perrie and Harry on one side. And Eleanor at the other.

Harry looks down for a bit before looking at Louis, and say. "Later?"

And Louis nods his head saying a soft 'okay'. He'll just have to wait even though it's killing him to know. Louis takes his phone out typing something before Putting it away. Joining the conversation that's going between the two girls.

Harry frowns at his phone, seeing a notification Louis instagram account. He looks at Louis who's chatting with Eleanor then at his phone again. Opening his phone to see what Louis posted.

And Harry gasps at the photos in front of him. It looks beautiful! Breathtaking even, dare he to say.

: SURPRISE! Hope you'll like it babydoll!

"So, do you like it babydoll?" Louis frowns when Harry shakes his head no. He honestly thought that Harry will love it. "Oh"

"I love it" letting out a squeal kissing Louis cheek, jumping in his arms. Louis only smile like an idiot in love.

Earning a groan both from Eleanor and Perrie pretend to gag at the couple action. "GET A ROOM YOU TWO" Eleanor shouts followed by Perrie's "OUR POOR INNOCENT EYES"

"Oh shut up you two, you're only jealous of my babydoll"

The girls only nods their heads sadly mumbling a small "true"
