The One

Chapter 51

He holds my hand and I let him. I don't feel safe anymore, I can't sleep. My hands play with each other all the time knowing he is here.

"You are burning," he says as he touches my forehead.

"I'm ok," I say.

"No you're not," he replies. He stands from his seat and walks to the kitchen to grab some tylenol.

*Ariana let him speak to you* Kendall's text reads.

I stare at my phone for a moment then shove it in my pocket.

His words haunt me. I still love you, you have no idea how much I have missed you.

Fuck you Harry Styles.

At night I ask Jake to drive me back to the apartment so I can grab some more stuff. Jake kindly takes me. When we get there everyone is in the living room talking, Jake comes in as well.

"Ariana, you're back," Harry says. Then looks at me and Jake is holding my hand.

"Just to get some more clothes," I answer.

Jake looks at me then back at Harry.

I walk in my room and Harry follows me. "I'm leaving tomorrow night," he says.

"Good," I reply.

"Ariana, come on talk to me, don't just reply back with simple words."

"Harry I already told you everything, and I don't think theres much more to talk about," I say.

"Listen to me," he says as he comes closer to me, our bodies couple inches away and I can smell his mint scent of his gum. "I have done everything I could to finally see you again, but I find you with someone else. Have you forgotten about us? I hate this, this stupid jealousy just imagining him touching you, kissing you, having you close to him. Oh I could just kill him right now, but I haven't you know why because you say you love him, and if I was to do something to him you would hate me, more than you already do."

"I have Jake now, and a new life."

"Fine I won't keep holding you back, but tell me if this makes you change your mind, and if it doesn't then I guess it will be good-bye," Harry says then leans to kiss my lips.

As soon as his lips touch mine, fire erupts all over my body making me feel weak. I stop myself from stopping him and let him keep kissing me. This is what I been needing this whole time to make me feel something again.

Harry stops kissing me and looks at me in the eyes. I stand there looking back at him, he is waiting for an answer and I have it.

"Good-bye," I say and walk out.

I see as he looks down at his feet in a way of saying "I tried".

"Lets go, I got everything I needed," I say to Jake as I grab his hand and walk out.

Kendall calls my name but I ignore her and keep walking.

As we are in the car driving back to Jake's apartment he stops the car on the side of the road and twist his body to face me.

"Why did you stop?" I ask.

"You still love him," Jake says.

His words take me by surprise.

"What?"

"He is the one, the one that hurt you so much that you told me you weren't ready for a relationship."

"Jake can we just leave?"

"Answer my question Ariana, is he the one?"

"Yes that's him, but I don't love him."

Jake laughs. "I can see it all over your eyes, plus that kiss."

"Kiss?"

"I saw you."

He did?

"Jake, that-"

"Don't lie Ariana you still have feelings for him."

"He is leaving tomorrow and I won't ever see him again."

"Prove to me that you don't have anymore feelings for him."

"What? You don't trust me? If I say I don't want him anymore it means I don't want him. I don't have to prove anything here."

Jake turns on the car and keeps driving. I've never seen this side of Jake. We don't speak and I decide to sleep on the couch.

Its 5 pm and Harry's flight leaves in 1 hour. I been thinking about this a lot. I have no idea what i'm doing with my life. The moment Harry kissed me everything felt normal, I felt safe, I felt that I was home. Its been 4 freaking years without seeing him. You have no idea how much that has been for me.

I need to decide now because there is no more time. Am I choosing Harry and willing to fight everything that comes our way and go back to California, to remember everything of do I choose Jake, they guy who waited for me to say yes, and stay here in New York where my new life is, and am I willing to forget about Harry forever?

Time flies by quickly and I am still don't know what to do. Why is this so complicated?

5:35 pm

Fuck! Fuck everything! Life is just so ...

"I can't, I can't do this," I say as tears come falling down from my eyes.

Harry's POV

As I hold my plane ticket I look out the doors and wait for a girl with blond hair to appear. I wait and wait.

*Flight 34 to Los Angeles will board now*

I look out once again hoping she will appear, but theres no sign of her. She is not coming, she has made her decision and she choose him. Ariana hasn't forgave me and who can blame her, I opened the doors to a different person, I made her change. I hope Jake makes her happy, and gives her everything that she deserves because that girl deserves everything.

Ariana made me see another side of me. I love her so fucking much it hurts, and the only kind of pain I have felt is when I get so angry and I start to drink, the pain of too much alcohol in my body hurts.

"Sir, could I have your ticket?" The flight attendant asks me.

I look at her in the eyes and she smiles widely, as she takes my ticket she touches my hand for a few seconds. The old me would take her to the bathroom right now and fuck her hard, but that is the old me, the only girl I want right now is Ariana.

She is the one, the only girl in the world I want. But nobody loves Harry, because Harry always has to fucking mess everything up.

I move in line and walk to the airplane. My eyes shift to the door for the last time and see nobody. I just sigh and walk out.

A/N: Will this be their good-bye? Or will Ariana make her decision? She better make it fast because time doesn't wait for no one.
