Chapter Two

Harry

''Rise and lets pray for God's blessings'' my friend's father said. He also owned the damn church

I almost let out a scream of relief. Finally! I've been sitting down for the past three hours listening to a man that I detest preach about God and other spiritual things that don't exist to me

I don't see the so called God, so why believe it?

If he exists then why did I end up the way I did? If he does he must really hate me, therefore I want nothing to do with him. He can go stay in heaven for all I care

I stood up stretching. I caught a girl looking at me in front. I winked which made her blush. My usual effect on girls.

Okay, maybe church wasn't so bad. Everyone closed their eyes and waited as he prayed. The place was so solemn that I wanted to puke. I hate these kinds of moments. I love noise

"Let's go outside'' my friend; Armon said from beside me

''You don't have to tell me twice man''

I badly needed to smoke anyway

I followed him and Tyler; my other friend outside. Tyler was the guy I called when I got into trouble with Cheryl. I flew down and he took care if me ever since

''I'm so gonna kill you Ty. You made me come to this bitch'' I sighed

''Wha-aa-at?'' he laughed

''I'm never coming to church again'' I declared

''May the Lord forgive you '' Armon said

''No need for that. I'm going to hell anyway''

We walked over to a hidden corner so I could smoke. My guys already knew the deal. We waited for almost everyone to exit the church. I definitely don't want to get into trouble so soon. I barely have enough money to take care if myself and settle down. Can't waste any dime on bail.

When I saw it was safe, I took out my cigarette and lit it. They stood in front of me blocking anyone from seeing

"I'm in so much trouble" Tyler said

"Why?" I asked "cause you didn't sit in front?"

"Technically yeah"

I chuckled. That was the ritual or tradition, whatever they fucking called it. The family and friends of the pastor had to sit at the three front rows. I remember because I used to sit there too when we were kids until some shit went down I was banned from ever coming to this church again.

"You're still being your dad's bitch I see?"

I haven't seen Tyler in years but I know he was still scared of his goddamn father. That judgmental dick. How can you preach something and then do the exact opposite?

He basically warned Tyler to stay away from me. He tortured me so bad that I had to move to England to complete my education

He made sure no school in this town was willing to take me just because I used an offensive word

I was just seven. I didn't even know what it meant

Even though we were apart, we still wrote to each other behind his parents. He's my fucking best friend, now that I'm back for good; I intend to get back on track with him even if it means sucking up to that old hag called his father

I managed to get a high school certificate which was possible by seducing a few teachers...

I hate school. I always got through by sleeping with the female teachers. What can I say? Everybody loves Harry

"So Harry" Armon started "we have a lot to catch up on"

"I know man. How bout we head to the club tonight?"

"I can't" Tyler said

"Why not?"

"I have work to do. I still work for my dad"

I scoffed

"Fine, Armon and I will go then"

"Count me in" Armon said

I took my phone out of my pocket and checked my news feed on instagram

"Tyler" I heard a female voice call out

"Hey" Tyler replied

I paid them no mind as I glanced through my phone

You have received a new message from Ashley. Image: 1 attachment

I opened the message to see an image of her naked on the bed

"Yessss" I thought in my mind

She was a girl I was fucking with since I got back

I met her at a club, we hooked up and it was good plus I didn't know anyone else here so she'll have to do for now till I get other girls on my hit list

Me: you look sexy baby

She replied immediately

Ashley: you want more?

Me: don't be such a tease darling. I'll see it in real life

Ashley: can't wait

Me: I'm coming over tonight baby

Ashley: Looking forward to it boo

I could still hear them talking. I decided to look up

My green eyes met a pair of bright brown ones. I stood there looking at probably the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen in my life

She looked so innocent. I'm not usually into black girls but with the way her skin glowed in the sun, I think I might have a change of mind.

She had long dark hair. She was wearing a blue dress which fitted her perfectly. She had a pretty smile which showcased her white teeth. Never have I ever noticed how good white teeth looked on black skin. I can't deny the fact that this girl is exceptionally beautiful. I didn't even bother to look at her body and objectify her as sexy like I would do to other girls. Her face alone caught my attention

I want her

"Who's this mate?" I asked Tyler

"Oh yeah, this is my little sister Amanda, Amanda this is my childhood friend Harry" Tyler introduced

"Hello" she said in a soft voice

She looked nervous and I like it. She's obviously attracted to me.

Since she's Tyler's sister, she must be pretty naive then because of her father

I have the sudden urge to destroy this girl in the best way I can.. I want to be the one that makes her change her innocent ways.

I've met worse girls that I changed, she shouldn't be any different

"Hi, I'm Harry, Harry Styles" I said

I held out my hand for her to shake which she did. Instead of dropping my hand after the shake I held her hand for a little while and made direct eye contact with her. She looked at me mesmerized and confused. Yes. The Harry effect just took place

Her small hands were so soft in my large ones. Before Tyler or Armon could notice and make a fuss about it, I let go

I took puffs of my cigarette still eyeing her up and down. Don't blame me, I like what I see.

"So, how come we've never met?" She asked

"Cause your dad hates white people" Harry said "Tyler, remember that time I used the word 'nigga' while we were playing, your dad kicked me out and I was never to come to your house again. I was just seven"

"But now I'm old enough to decide what friends I make" Tyler said

"True true" Armon agreed

"Your dad's a hypocrite. Christians aren't to judge, even I know that. He's one of the reasons I questioned my faith" I said

God certainly doesn't exist. If he did he would have helped me through all those times.

I'm bad at school. I'm an unstable 23 year old with no job. I've been through a lot of fucked up shit in my life. I grew up with no father. My mom wasted her time on drugs. She brought a new g6hy home from the club she worked at every now and then

What do you expect from a kid who has no moral support? Of course I'm going to lose interest in school.

Who is this God they speak of? Where's the love he claims to have for his children? Or does he give some people preferential treatment?

Am I not good enough to receive love from him? Am I that bad?

"Um so you're British?" She asked obviously trying to change the subject

"Yeah I finished high school there a couple of years ago, got boring so I decided to come back. Tyler and I have kept in touch ever since"

"Fags" Armon teased

"It’s called friendship you fool" Tyler defended

"But you gotta admit it bro" I said "you're into me a little bit, aren't you?"

"Of course I am" Tyler played along in a girly voice "I've been in love with you from the start"

This guy is crazy. Now this is the reason why he's my best friend

"Prove it then" I whispered "let's seal it with a kiss"

Tyler leaned in. Armon and Amanda were laughing at our little joke until...

"Tyler! What on earth are you doing?" Tyler's mom shouted walking over to us

Wow, she hasn't changed a bit. She's still the same uptight bitch I remember.

"Mom, we were just messing around" Amanda said.

I smiled at the fact that she tried to defend us.

"Harry? Is that you?" She asked. I could see the shock on her face

"In the flesh" I replied”What's up Mrs Watson?"

"I'm alright, the last time I saw you, you were seven"

"Yeah when you and your husband kicked me out"

She cleared her throat. I could see how uncomfortable she looked

"How's England?" she asked

"Boring and cold"

I continued smoking just to annoy her. I know she hates it.

"When did you get back?"

"Last week"

"Well it’s nice to see you again. Tyler, Amanda let's go"

"Bye man" Tyler said

"Bye mate"

We did our handshake.

You know I would have loved to make a come back

Rich Harry, with his own company and his million dollar sports car but no

I'm a jobless wreck. I didn't want her to see me like this. They're gonna ask questions I know

I'll make it someday. I know I will

"Bye Harry" Amanda said

"Bye angel"

I watched her as she and her brother walked to the car

"Armon?"

"Yeah man"

"I'm definitely coming to church again"
