Alex

The second day of Harry's suspension I sat doing some reading in front of the science building when I suddenly felt someone watching me again. I looked up and this time my eyes were met with Mary.

Mary was my old best friend before we grew apart and eventually she became so mean to me that I felt like it was another lifetime ago that we were ever friends. In reality, she and I stopped being friends all together in 8th grade.

She looked around and walked over to sit on the bench beside where I sat listening to music on the ground. She cleared her throat and looked at me. "Hi." She spoke up.

"Hey?"

"How are you?" I looked around at my book and my headphones next to my backpack shrugging.

"Fine, are you here to throw something at me too?" She looked down and shook her head.

"No, I wanted to say I'm sorry David was such a shit to you." My eyes widened.

"If this is some trick you can fuck off kindly." She scoffed turning to me. I wore jeans and a Queen t-shirt tucked into my pants. My hair was in a braid while my dirty boots were propped up on the bench.

Mary was in a flowy summer dress with flats and her hair in perfect waves. It was embarrassingly cliche how different we dressed when I knew for a fact she loved Queen just as much as I do. "No, I feel bad, you have- you and I aren't friends anymore but it doesn't mean you deserve to be treated like that. I'm glad you have a nice boyfriend who loves you enough to not come to a party because I didn't invite you."

"You sound jealous-"

"Maybe I am." She spits out. "I mean the guys at this school are jerks and you managed to snatch up the nicest guy who isn't too hard on the eyes." She didn't say it in a way that felt threatening, but almost like she wished she could meet someone like that. "Listen what David did was messed up and I just came to give you this." She handed me a card that I recognized right away.

It was her usual way of inviting people in person instead of through a group message or post on social media. "You're inviting me to a party."

"It's a small gathering, just us girls, it's a pool party before the summer ends."

"I can't go, I can't risk this being a trick." I handed her back the card and put my headphones on.

"It's not a trick Alex, I'm just- I'm trying to be nice." She handed me the card again. "If you want." She left and I decided to take the card, putting it in my pocket.

I was in bed about to fall asleep when I could hear what sounded like the trees rustling outside. My phone buzzed with a text.

Harry: don't get scared I had to see you.

I smiled big, first walking to my door and locking it before I went to the window to find Harry standing there on the roof. He waved as I opened the window to let him in. He carefully came inside and almost fell before sitting down on the edge of the bed.

I went out to the hall to make sure my parents were still asleep. When I could still hear my dad's snores, I knew the coast was clear.

Coming back in I saw Harry holding one of my stuffed animals on his stomach while he laid down on my bed. I crawled up to him and cuddled him close. "I missed you."

"I missed you so much Alex I kept thinking about you all night." He whispered. "I was at work and every time I scanned an item I thought about that noise you make when I poke your nose."

"Boop." He laughed quietly and nodded holding me close. His skin on mine made me feel warm and loved. Slowly my hands moved to his jeans and I began to unbutton them. "Cuddle naked with me." He nodded quickly, within a few minutes we were under my sheets holding each other.

"How do you feel...you know with everything." He looked down.

I wanted to tell him how sore I felt for days and that I bled a little but I decided to just shrug. "I'm okay, it's just- it was strange." He frowned. "No, I mean having something so....thick-"

"Oh, s-s-stop you'll make me blush." I turned around in his arms and felt him hard against my butt. "Sorry, you're very pretty and naked."

I felt a tingling between my legs and felt shivers down my spine. "Do you have a condom?" He turned me and gave me a look.

"I didn't come here to just have sex-"

"Sure you didn't, but I don't mind anyways I've been wanting you to come over." He smirked.

"Come over what?" I rolled my eyes at his gross joke. "I want to to be between your legs so bad but I don't know if you could stay quiet," I told him I could try and he quickly scooted down to begin working on me. Within minutes I had a pillow over my face and was grinding up against his mouth.

I felt him shift and pull out his wallet from his pants. He opened it and I watched him as he quickly pulled out a condom. "You planned this." He looked nervous and quickly shook his head.

"I-I always have this in here in case." I tried not to giggle as I opened my legs and called him over. He laid on top of me, his weight shifting until he was in the right position and I was comfortable. He looked at me for a second before blinking a few times. "You're so beautiful."

"Really?" he nodded.

"I um, I don't think I've ever felt more loved than when I'm with you." He reached down between us where he grabbed himself, already wrapped in a condom, and pushed in slowly. It was uncomfortable, but not painful. It took a couple of minutes before I let out a soft involuntary moan against his lips.

He had to move slowly because of the bed frame on my bed, but I think that was helping me closer to finishing. His head was in my neck where he left open mouth kisses and whispered that he loved me. "Harry..." I moaned quietly.

I could feel the soft goosebumps forming on his skin along with his breathing becoming more ragged. He didn't say anything as he shifted his weight to move his hand down between us. Pleasure began to course through me so quickly that I needed to remind myself that my parents are in the house. My nails dug into his back as I let go of the need to hold back.

"Oh-" he thrust roughly as his lips moved quickly and rushed against mine. He looked down at me and whispered asking me if I was okay.

"Perfect." He nodded slowly with a soft smile.

My dad and I haven't talked in a few days and I finally decided I should go and apologize.

I walked downstairs and to the backyard where he was mowing the lawn. He wiped his sweat and patted his belly laughing. "I'm not in shape like I used to be." He told my mom who was tending to her flower garden.

"You're still a solid ten in my eyes, babe." I smiled and cleared my throat catching their attention.

"Do you need help dad?" He shook his head giving me a small 'I'm good' before cleaning up the mess. I walked over to my mom who was frowning. "He hates me."

"He thinks you've had sex." My eyes widened. "Alex he's not ready to let you be a grown-up-"

"But I'm not a grown-up I still need you guys, I can't help if I do have feelings for someone who treats me the way dad treats you." My mom looked up to me with a soft smile. I could hear my dad yelling at the lawnmower in the shed a couple of yards away.

"Be honest with me Alex, did you and Harry have sex?" I sighed before giving her a small nod. She didn't seem surprised but just...laughed? "You know when I lost my virginity, I was in the middle of it when your nana walked in."

I raised an eyebrow. "You mean grandma Lillian?" She shook her head. Grandma Lillian was her mom, nana was my dad's mom. "Wait you lost your virginity to dad- and his mom walked in?" She nodded laughing.

"Anyways we freaked out and she told my mom and there was this huge fight and discussion because your dad is a year younger and I was a bad influence." I looked back at my dad who was watering the grass. "I, at that moment, realized that sex was a natural part of life and normal to want. So I promised that when I had kids I wouldn't judge." I smiled. "Your father, on the other hand, the moment they put Amy in his arms he looked at me and said 'I'll be damned if I ever let some punk- kid near my daughter.' so that's a tuffy." I rolled my eyes laying back on the grass.

"Great." I groaned.

"So...how was it?" I lifted my head and raised an eyebrow. "Was it nice?"

"The sex?" I whispered. "I really don't want to talk about it-"

"Oh come on grow up a bit, if you're having it then you should be able to at least talk about it, we should get you on birth control because you don't want to end up like your dad and I having a baby at eighteen and nineteen years old." I nodded

"Yeah, how do I talk to dad?" She smiled standing up and pulling me over to him. "Hon, talk to your daughter she is having a crisis and thinks her dad hates her." My dad looked at me and sighed.

"I don't hate you, I need time to think." He put his hands on his hips. "Just- stop growing up alright!"

"I can't help it." He sighed. I slowly got closer and put my arms around him. "I love you."

"Love you too Al- just- fine you're not grounded but I don't want Harry up in your room. Keep that stuff private- no nicknames or kissing-" He gagged.

"Thank you, dad!"

"Yeah, whatever." He gave in.

Thanks for reading. Xx
