Harry's POV

        Niall and his friend, Isabella, hugged each other but I barely paid attention to them. My attention was on the blonde girl who had slapped me. I guess I deserved that, I did beat up her boy friend before I left. But I only beat him up because he had been cheating on her with her best friend, back then anyways, and I was jealous, I had feelings for her since we were 13.

        The blonde's name was Alisha. We were best friends since Primary School, when we weere 5. We did absolutely everything together. After I had beat up her boy friend I went on to the X-Factor and she didnt call or text me. I felt really bad about what I had done and figured that since she never called me, she didnt want anything to do with me. 

        "Lisha" I sighed.

        "Dont you dare Lisha me, Harry Edward Styles" she snapped. "Only my best friend can call me that."

        That one hurt and she knew it. Lisha always did knew my weak spots and I knew hers. 

        "Im sorry" I said.

        I really was. I wish I hadnt beat up Noah, wait I dont regret that. What I do regret is that I didnt tell Lisha what he and her best friend were doing then beat the shit oout of him. It probably would have saved both Lisha and I from the hurt we both felt when we lost contact.

        "No you arent" she growled. 

        I got angry by this. 

        "Want to know something" I snipped glaring at her. "I'm not sorry. Im not sorry for beating the shit out of your boy friend because I was trying to protect you from getting hurt. Im not sorry for doig my job as your best friend. And Im not sorry for you hating me. You were the one who stopped talking to me. So you have no right to be mad at me."

        She stared at me in shock, anger, and surprise. 

Alisha's POV

        Why is he mad at me? He never tried to call me. Alright I will admit that I didnt try to contact him either. But how was he protecting me? From who? Noah, my ex, was an asshole and I broke it off with him a month after Harry left.

        "Whats that suppose to mean" I asked glaring at him. 

        "Yeah, Noah" he snapped. "The boy you thought was a saint. He had been cheating on you with Melanie, your supposed best friend. I caught then the day I beat him up, its the reason why I beat him up. I was protecting you from getting hurt."

        "I wasnt a little girl Styles" I glared. "I knew how to protect myself.

        "I never said you couldnt" he said. "But I was yout brest friend. I didnt want to leav eyou with a guy who wasnt faithful and a back stabbing best friend. I wanted to make sure you were being left in good hands while I was away."

        I shook my head. I didnt want to believe him, I couldnt. I spent the last three years hating him, I could last the next two months hating him. I cant let him back in, he will just leave me again. If you asked me about three years ago if I would go back to being friends with him, my answer would have been yes. But in that moent, it was no, it had to be no. I wouldnt have been able to be friends with him again just so he could leave again. 

        "Lisha" he sighed. "I know what you are thinking. If we become friends again I wont leave you, I will keep in contact with you. Please, Lisha, give me another chance, I need my best friend back."

        I stared at him. What was the harm in giving him a second chance? Harry gave me his puppy dog eyes that he knew I couldnt resist. God, that boy will be the death of me. 

        "One more chance" I said sternly and a smile made its way onto his face. "But, only one more chance, Harry, thats it. Dont mess it up. If you do, Im not afraid to leak all your teenage secrets to the press."

        I saw him gulp knowing I would actually do it if he mess up. 

        "Thanks, Lisha" he smiled. "Can I have a hug now?"

        "Whatever loser" I rolled my eyes but felt a smile make its way onto my face.

        Harry grinned and wrapped his arms around my waist while I put mine around his neck. He lifted me up and spun us around causing me to laugh. I finlly had my best friend back and it was going to be an awesome sumer, now we just need the others to get back to being best friends. By the looks it was going to be hard.
