Addicted

Chapter Eight

Niall's POV

I was waiting for Cassie outside the club and all the nerves of her finding out the truth scared me. It started out as a horrible bet and then I fell in love with her. The way she talks, smiles and her eyes light up. The way she understands me and excepts me the way I use to be back in high school. I know Zayn was asking around for Harry, I guess it's what I deserve. I am a dick and I don't deserve her.

Harry's Land Rover finally pulled up to the door and she got out and walked over to me. "Is he staying?" "yeah, he's just parking his car." "Cassie, give me a second chance, please," I begged. "Niall, I said I would." "I mean be my girlfriend again." I grabbed her hand looking straight at her. I saw a small smile appear on her lips and it made me blush a little.

I grabbed her into a hug and kissed her cheek. "I love you." She looked at me surprised. "What?" "I love you, I am sorry for letting Emily even come on to me." "it's okay" She nods looking unsure.

"Horan," Harry stated. "Styles." Cassie rolled her eyes and walked inside the club, it had just opened up this week and I was excited to see what "star planet" had to offer. Inside it looked as what a space ship may look like, an oval shaped bar in the back and booth above for the DJ. The dance floor was crowded by tons of dancing and sweating body's grinding on each other. They even had a restaurant, which was cool because I could eat.

Cassie's POV

I finally was able to find a booth that could fit all six of us and I grabbed it as soon as I got there. Before I could sit down someone stepped in front of me and he was obviously taller than me. "Excuse me," I said kindly. "Aw, babe. You look lonely, wanna dance?" "No, thank you," I said flatly. "No, I think you do." He grabbed my arm. "Hey let go of me!" I squirmed. "You dressed like that, I am surprised you haven't been taken already." "Get off of me!" I yelled. "She said leave her alone." I heard Harry's voice. He grabbed me and safely pushed me behind him.

"You fucking touch her again." He yelled and pushed the other guy to the wall. For some reason I found it really attractive, I have never seen this side of Harry and it was good, so protective. "I swear," he warned. Harry backed up let him go of his collar "Maybe you shouldn't let your hot girlfriend wonder off alone," he chuckled. Harry went to him, but I pulled him back.

"He's not worth it. Thank you, Harry." I said. He leaned forward and whispered "Anything for you."

He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him, to close. He started looking into my eyes and I looked into his even if I was much shorter. He bit his lip while staring at mine, and it was so damn attractive. Just stop this.  He started to lean in but, I backed up. Harry sighed and took me back to our booth. "I am sorry." He whispered. "It's fine, but thanks again for helping me."

"Cassie, you know I will always be here for you," Harry said seriously.  I nodded but, I could barely hear him when more people started showing up and the DJ turned up his music.  

Harry's POV

"I love you Cassie," I whispered. This time I knew she didn't hear me so I felt defeated on that part. That guy who had his grungy arms around her was someone I knew a long time ago, someone I thought  I would never see again. Connor James was his name, trouble no doubt. Back before I met Cassie I had trouble with stuff I shouldn't have been in, my parents died. I was in and out of foster homes. I never told anyone that because it was something I didn't want to dig up again especially with Cassie, I was so different back then she wouldn't even know who I was. I was dangerous and troubled. 

While I am busy talking to myself in my head I didn't notice Niall and Cassie had left the booth to go get some drinks at the bar and sat down. I watched for a few minutes, he kissed her on the cheek and walked into the bathroom. 

Harry, you've waited long enough to work up the courage to tell her how you feel about her. You need to do this.  I walked up behind her covering her eyes with my hands as I walked back in front of her.  "Harry?"  "How'd you guess?" I asked. "I didn't until you talked."She laughed. I smiled. "Why is your hand over my eyes?" I didn't say anything I just leaned in and kissed her. 

Cassie's POV

After Niall had kissed me he walked into the bathroom and I noticed Harry staring at me. I waved at him, telling him to come sit next to me. After all, he is my best friend. "Hi, Beautiful." He smirked.  I rolled my eyes knowing he was drunk. He got up and covered my eyes which caught me off guard. "Harry, what are you doing?" I asked. He didn't say anything and then he pressed his lips against mine. I was so appalled I pushed him away and started storming out the door. "Whoa! Wait" He yelled running in front of me. "Piss off Harry!" I screamed clearly upset. 

"I am sorry, Cas, Please- "FUCK OFF!" "I was trying to protect you! He's not good for you! He's going to hurt you!" "You're not my dad." "I am your best friend.." He sounded wounded now, but I didn't care. "Piss off," I said again and stormed out while running into Liam.  "Hey, babe. What's wrong?" He asked. I  wiped off some tears off my cheek, "Harry kissed me and I am mad at him, I am going home, tell Niall" I didn't bother to wait for him to answer I just catch a cab and leave in tears and disappointment. 

a/n: When I work on the next chapter there's going to be a few flashbacks, especially for Harry. It picks up a day later after she yelled at him and Harry has been a complete mess knowing he screwed up.  :)
