Unexpected Love || Harry Styles Punk

Chapter Sixty-Four

Meredith's P.O.V

The only thing I wanted to do for my birthday was to stay in bed all day in peace and maybe a watch a bit of "The Walking Dead". But the world proved me wrong when the annoying beeping of my alarm clock woke me up. 

Let's not lie there. 

It wasn't my alarm clock that woke me up. It was the screaming from downstairs of Michael and Lindsey. They were having another argument and what could be better to wake me up on a Thursday morning with their lungs practically on the floor. 

I sighed before getting out my bed which wouldn't swallow me like I wished. I tried to ignore Michael's huge mouth that was swearing the life out of earth but it didn't seem to stop going the ears and hugging my brain giving me a big ass headache. 

After not even bothing to shower, I put a nice outfit that would look presentable to school and for my birthday. The outfit included of sheer tights, a pencil skirt that reached a few inches above my knees and a nice flowy top. I put my hair in a nice and complicated plat on the side and walked out my room. 

When I passed the living room, I saw Michael fuming while sending daggers Lindsey's way who was softly crying on the couch with her face buried in her hands. 

"If you are going to keep hurting her then why not just divorce her? She deserves someone who is not a pathetic ass who thinks that one woman isn't enough for him," I told him in steady voice and simply walked out the house like nothing never happened. 

I can't believe I have to deal with this on my 17th birthday. I would usually stay home and skip school on my birthday with mum and dad. But of course they're not here and I'm stuck with my dick of a brother who is a fucking man whore. 

As I walked up the school steps, I spotted Mr Evans walking out his car. I quickly jogged into the school building trying to get myself lost with the many bodies of students. When I finally reached my locker, I saw Louis standing there with a box wrapped around in wrapping paper. I grinned wide as I walked up to him. 

"Hey birthday girl!" He exclaimed before tackling me into a bear hug. "How's your brithday going so far?" He questioned while handing me the gift. 

"It hasn't even started yet. Plus for the record, it has been a pain in the ass," I groaned before opening my locker and stuffing my things in there. 

"Really? Let me guess, Lindsey and Michael were arguing?" He guessed frowning. 

"At 5 in the morning, yes." I replied nodding. 

"It's okay! We'll make it your best birthday ever. We'll go to Nando's and maybe have a mega party," He exclaimed getting excited. 

"Like we have the money to rent Nando's for an evening," I snorted. 

"You'll see...." He responded. 

"Louis, you don't have to-" I tried to tell him but was cut off by someone practically jumping on my back. 

"Happy Birthday MereBear!" Danielle's voice rang in my ear. I giggled as she slid down my back and went back to a standing position. Behind her was Niall, Eleanor and Liam. 

"I would've brought your present here but I'm waiting until after school," Niall stated. El and Dani nodded agreeing to his idea. 

"It's fine." I mumbled before giving them a closed smile. The bell rang moments later and everyone scurried off including my friends who quickly muttered a 'bye' and 'see ya later'. I was left alone in the hallway not really caring that I was going to be late. I was planning on skipping homeroom anyway.
