Running Into Danger

"If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight"
I turned off my alarm and stayed in bed for another five minutes. A girl needs her beauty sleep. I picked out my maroon dress. I'm happy I get to wear my own dress now instead of Juliet's. I prefer to cover up my body instead of my boobs popping out. Plus I'm going to church, I need to dress appropriately.


I check on Juliet to see if she would like to join me but she's in a deep sleep so it would be best if I didn't wake her. I pull up into the parking lot and head into the high school room, ready to learn about our lesson about where we stand with our faith. Hearing the lesson really got me deep in thought. I kept thinking where I stand with God. I don't know all the time. Due to the fact I've had hardships ever since my parent's have past I blame a lot of it on God. Saying that it's his fault for taking my parent's away. Even though it isn't. But other lessons I have learned help me turn to God for support, knowing that he will always be there for me.

We all head down stairs after our lessons to go to Arise, where all the other church members are. I sit with my friend Sarah and begin to sing along to the song the band is preforming. A couple more songs were played and then the pastor steps on the stage to do a sermon. I grab my notebook out to take some notes while doing so I see movement out the corner of my eye. I turn my head to see Anne Styles walk in. I smile at her and she returns the favor. She is such a lovely woman. Nothing like her son. But then I see Harry. Harry Styles here, at church? That can't be possible. He never attends church. Anne probably forced him to come here. That's the only reasonable explanation. I'm just starring at Harry. He looks annoyed and out of his element, wearing a dress shirt, slacks, and a bow tie. My dad use to wear bow ties to church. He always asked my for help with it. The thought made me smile. I turned my attention back to the pastor. The sermon was wonderful. I walked outside to get some fresh air. I wish I had my hair in a cute bun but I had to leave it down. I didn't want to draw any attention to my hickey Harry left on my collar bone. I was about to turn to head up the stairs to my car but I was startled to see Harry Styles right in my face. "Gosh!" He snickered at me, stepping back a foot to give me some space. "I dislike how your blinds are always closed now love. It makes me sad." He gives me a puppy dog face. "Ahh Riley so glad to see you! I see you have met my son Harry," Anne interrupts us. I was relieved to see her. She would make this a whole lot less awkward and scary. "Yes it's very nice to see you as well. Did you enjoy the sermon?" I asked. "Oh yes it was great!" Harry scoffs and sarcastically says, "It was super!" Anne hits Harry and I giggle. "Well Harry I will be in the car waiting for you. Great seeing you Riley." "You as well," I say with a wave. I turn back to Harry who is smiling at me. I rock back and forth on my feet and decide to turn around and walk away from this creep. I hear him call out to me, I pick up my speed. I hear footsteps on my heels. I pick up the pace and begin to run. I turn my head and he's now running as well . I run faster, well I try to at least. I turn back around and notice Harry isn't in my view. Praise the Lord I lost him. I stop to catch my breath. I laugh thinking about him not being able to keep up. I turn on my heels and bump into someone "Ow, sorry sir." "No worries love." I look up. Shit. "Stop following me you creep!" "I just wanted to ask you a question and I'll be on my leave." I'm irritated with this kid so I agreed since he'll leave me alone after this. "You me dinner tonight, wear something nice." He gave me his winning smile and a wink. I replied with, "That wasn't a question and NO." "Tisk tisk tisk. See I don't take no for an answer." "Well you're going to take it now. I despise you and if you can't tell I don't want to associate with you. Plus I'm busy." He leans in close and seems to be thinking very hard. A minute has past but it felt like an hour. He smirks and says, "I'll pick you up at seven." And with the he walks away. I groan, I'm fed up with this punk. Too bad for him though. I won't be home I'll be here practicing for my choir performance. Ha! Jokes on him. Thanks Jesus for helping a girl out. I walk back to my car and my phone starts going off. "Hey Juliet what's up?" "Can you pick me up some food?" "Juliet we have so much food at home. Try and make something!," I giggle knowing that she has know idea how to make food. "Ummm let me think about that… No!' I laugh and say "I'll be home soon with some food don't panic." With that I hang up.

I walk through the door with two bags of food. One with Panda Express and the other with a box of cupcakes. My little treat. Were eating our food while watching Pretty Little Liars. It's our favorite show. I didn't bother to mention Harry since nothing would be going on tonight with him since I'll be back at church. Liam comes to the door two hours later to take Juliet out to mini golfing. They seem so perfect for each other. I strip off my dress and take a small nap before choir. Not caring that I'm just in my bra and under wear. My alarm goes off telling me I need to head to church. I change quickly not wanting to be late.

I got to practice right on time. I go over my solos repeatedly thinking I will forget the lyriccs once the real performance comes up. It was close to seven and we rehearsed one more time. It was perfection. We all sound fantastic! Before exiting we ended up praying for the choir, and everyone who helps out. I ended up talking to Sarah and Hana about the new movie Frozen. We were planning on seeing it together next Friday. That movie looks so good, even if it's a Disney princess movie doesn't mean I can't see it. I started walking towards my car until another vehicle stopped right in front of me. I was startled, almost peeing my pants. The drivers side door opened and someone stepped out. When the door closed I saw the mop of curls. He turned his head towards me smirking. "Sorry to scare you love. But you didn't think you could get away from me that easily did you?" I didn't say anything I didn't know what to say. I looked around trying to find a distraction. My friend Sarah yes! She noticed that I head a pleading face on. She walked over to me and introduced herself. Harry was acting charming… for once. "So what are you here for?" Sarah asks. "I am here to take this lovely lady, Riley Shawn on a date." He smiles at the both of us. "Sorry Harry but like I said I am not going on a date with you." Sarah pats my back and begins to speak. Boy I wish she didn't. "Of course she would like to go one a date! Don't be silly Riley he is a handsome fellow!" She obviously doesn't know who he is. If she did she would put her karate skills to good use. "See Riley take your friends advice." Gosh Harry and Sarah are now on my nerves, but I love Sarah I could never be truly upset with her. Sarah begins to push me to the passenger side of Harry's car. He opens the door for me and I hop in. Harry runs to his side of the car and fires up the car. I'm scared. I've never been on a date and my first date has to be with the one and only Harry Styles. The car ride is silent. "Harry where are you taking us?" "It's a surprise love." A surprise great that really helps. Normally when guys say things like that in the movies they end up raping the girl or murder them. My imagination is getting the best of me. We pull into a restaurant that I've never been to. Bandara. We walk in and it's extremely fancy. I feel so under dress. Harry is under dressed as well but he doesn't care. I should be wearing a dress not shorts and a shirt with studs on them.



"Reservation for Styles." The hostess leads us to a booth in the back. Harry sits down first and I sit across from him. He shakes his head and chuckles. He sits up sliding out of his side of the booth and sits next to me. I stiffen. I start to look over the menu trying to find something to take over my mind. Harry is the one to speak first. "You look sexy Riley." I peered at him. He's spying me up and down while licking his lips. "Thanks. I think?" "You think?" I turn my attention back to the menu. "So Harry what tastes good here?" "Well I'm assuming, you." I look down, my hands are becoming very interesting. I can feel Harry's warm breath on my skin. He begins to whisper in my ear telling me things I wouldn't like to hear. "I wonder if you taste sweet or salty tonight. I can't wait to find out." Why doing so his hand touches my knees, riding up my leg. Goose bumps begin to rise all over my skin. "Someone's getting nervous now… Aren't they?" I didn't reply, because I was nervous I didn't want him to know. He asked again a bit more aggressively, "Aren't they?" he squeezed my thigh and started to inch closer and closer to my core. I jumped, removing his hand and climbed over him saying I need to pee. He laughed while saying "Take your time love." I had to stop that situation, I didn't want that to escalate anymore. I was pacing all around the restroom. I began to talk to myself trying to calm myself down. It wasn't working that well. I had to leave I can't stand this so-called-date. There isn't a window to escape from in here. I peer out of the restroom. Harry is fidgeting with his hands. He's getting impatient. I notice there is an exit in the kitchen. Maybe if I sprint through the kitchen and leave through the back door I can escape from this disaster. I hold my breath and count to five. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Harry is standing by our table and sees me. Okay time to sprint. I bolt to the kitchen and open the door. I turn around and Harry is running through the obstacles of waiters and chefs. I slam the door in his face. I don't know this area so I just run like a mad woman in some random direction. I hear the door burst open and I glance to see how far ahead I am. I'm plenty ahead but I can tell that Harry is beyond angry, he's pissed, he looks as if he is going to kill me. That just makes me run faster. I'm passing a park that's next to a forest. I'm trying to find my way through the trees, hills, and creeks. But I'm getting lost which is worrying me. I don't know what to do or where to go.
