only her. harry styles

15

it's been about a week after the small argument. everybody noticed but nobody dared to get in between it, eventually the two would give up and realize the love they had for each other was unmatched but everyone changes. what he did to her is unforgivable.

the two were avoiding each other. well mostly edith, just one word sentences to him acting as if they never happened. or she didn't just confess she still loved him. harry was more so the one trying to fight his nerves and just talk to her.

kacey had seen the man burning holes in edith, he wouldn't even notice. no wonder he had so many lyrics and ideas when at the studio.

though harry was quite upset, he knew how edith worked. she'd ignore her problems and acted as if everything was fine until she was fully convinced everything was fine, with the help of being around everyone and having the time of her life.

harry didn't want to let that happen again. it's as if he craved for her attention, everytime he was close. she'd tense up or get nervous, start fiddling with her rings and jewelry. scared maybe he'd blow up.

"where's edith?" harry asked kacey, she furrowed her brows before pointing to her dressing room. he took a small breath and walked over, lifting his hand up to knock. it stayed there for a while, for a second he thought he was gonna turn away but the door opened. he looked down at the girl who had her eyes on her phone, all dressed up to perform after harry.

when she looked up, her eyes widen slightly then trying to close the door. his hand stopped her from doing so, "harry-" instead he pushed her in lightly, looking around and entering in completely. she swallowed when she heard him lock the door. he turned slowly with an intense gaze on her. "why are you avoiding me?" he asked.

she was silent as he tilted his head, eyebrows raising. "well?" edith shook her head, gripping her phone trying to push him aside to walk out. rolling his eyes, he placed a hand on her waist backing her away from the door. "tell me." he squeezed her hip, "why are you avoiding me?" and yeah, edith did get butterflies when he took a step closer and she took a step back. but he didn't need to know.

"i'm- i'm not avoiding you." she lied. he narrowed his eyes, squeezing her hip tighter. "you're lying." he says. "i'm not-" "edith! i know you, i know how you deal with things! you always do this-"

"well no fucking shit harry!" she finally cracked, he fell silent. the grip on her waist loosened as she chuckled sadly. "why else would i be avoiding you? what, you think it's so easy walking away from you every single time. i still love you, after all this time. always. but obviously you're not listening to me. we can't happen again." she was cut off.

"why not?" he asked, almost desperate. "because we're messed up. everything about us is fucked up, it's messing with my head and yours. we're supposed to act like we've moved on, we're supposed to happy. i could say i love you right now, but it's impossible." she shrugs. his nostrils flare, playing with the end of his sleeve.

"i don't want to get fucked over again." she mumbles. "but edith. i love you, i still do. it's not impossible." she stares into his emerald green eyes. "i don't think you understand something harry. you cheated on me, i don't want to get hurt again. i'm not letting my emotions and feelings fuck with my mind. i know when somethings wrong and right, and i know when i have to move on. but yet that seems impossible too."

he bit his lip, gaze on his feet. "you know i'm really fucking sorry about that." she nods. "yeah. i do. but it still happened, who's to say it won't happen again?" his head snapped up at the girl who really worked her way to putting herself first before others. and it's really starting to hit him even harder knowing he has to do a lot more than weep to get what he wanted.

his eyebrows furrow when she takes his hand off her waist slowly. "but i've changed." she shakes her head.

"nobody really changed unless there is full commitment. we had that. yet look what happened. listen harry, i do love you and i know you're used to usually getting what you want. because everyone always sees you as this perfect man. but i'm not settling just for you, just because you're lonely, or because you miss me, or maybe even you love me. i suggest it's better if we move on, for the millionth time. it's better for both of us, i just need to stay away from you." his breathing stopped. his heart felt like falling out of his ass.

"why? why can't we just get back to normal?" he asked with desperate eyes. "because you are so. easy to fall for."

she was right. he was always so used to getting anything he ever wanted because he's harry styles. many fell for him when he did absolutely nothing because he's perfect, right? he could have almost anything but the one thing he needed the most, he couldn't have. is this what edith felt like on the other end or was it worse?

"and i really don't want to feel the sort of pain all over again. now if you'll excuse me, i'm going out tonight. you're free to come along."

harry was about to say no, but watching her leave the room knowing she wanted him the way he wanted her made him change his mind.
