(For this chapter I listened to the song: grand piano by Nicki Minaj. It's a really sad song and it fits perfectly with this chapter. Enjoy.)

Harry POV

I walk back to the kitchen, and I look for Sarah. Then I see her blonde hair under Liam's big body. Without warning I feel my eyes watering and my throat burning. They release and she looks at me and I turn and run before she can say anything. I run faster than my legs can manage. This can't be happening, this has to be a dream. But it's not this is the cruel world we live in. This fucked up world that I though I had under control finally, now slips through my fingers.

I hear her yelling my name but I just keep running and running. I look back and she is on her knees, crying. I want to wrap her in a hug, kiss her tears away. But that can't happen because she cheated on me, and she cheated on me with Liam. Liam. Him out of all people. The boots on my feet pound the ground hard as I sprint. My legs feel like jello but I keep running, running from my fears, running from the truth. I can't do this, I cant. I run until I make it to my apartment building. The tears are streaming down my face and I am in full sobs. I sprint up the flights of stairs and knock on my door. I can even grip my keys they are so shaky. The door swings open and Zayn steps out. "Oh my god! Harry!" He pulls me inside and I collapse onto the floor. "What happened?" I start to sob harder.

"She..she cheated on me. My Sarah cheated on my." I choke out and Zayn lets out a breath. "No she didn't just cheat on me. She fucking made out with Liam. FUCKING LIAM!" I slam my fist into the wall. Zayn tries to calm me down, he tells me to sit onto the couch.

"This doesn't sound like Sarah." He said as I try to calm down my breathing.

"I know, but it was her." He pulls me into a hug and I continue to cry. I've never cried like this before, not even when my dad died. "I don't know what's happening to me? I get connected to something and it gets ripped from my hands." I loved Sarah so much. But did she really love me back. What am I saying? I still love her.

"Come on you need sleep." He motions for me to go to my room like he is my mom. I lay on the bed, all the memories flash through my head. Her kissing me at the batting cages, the fancy restaurant that we made out at, us skipping 7th period. Even this fucking bed has her memory on it. Were we just a lie? I wish I could forget about these stupid little things. I can't even think straight without having her block my path.

Sarah POV

I collapse to my knees, I sob and pull my legs into my chest. I rock back and forth. I watch him disappear into the city lights. I'm fucked up, I could have explained in time but I didn't. What am I suppose to do? I grab my phone out of my pocket and call Kylie.

"Hey Sarah." She says into the phone. I can even talk I'm crying so hard. "What's wrong? Where are you?" I can't even answer her, so I text her and she runs over. "Sarah, what happened?" I just grab her shoulder and start to cry even harder. "I can call Harry if you need him." The mention of his name causes a aching pain in my chest.

"No, There is no way he would answer." I choke out and grab my chest trying to pull the pain away.

"Why.." She stops and realizes what happened. "Oh honey, I'm so sorry. let's take you to my dorm."

...

I cry the entire time and hug my knees. She drives as fast as she can to her dorm. She parks and helps me out. We get into her room and I lay in a ball on the ground. "Can you talk or no?" I sit up and nod.

"Well I was waiting for Harry to come back from the bathroom, so I sat on the bench and Liam comes and sits next to me. I tell him to go away, but he only comes closer. Then he kissed me and Harry saw and ran. Liam meant for it to be that way and I hate him even more than I did before." She pulls me into her chest and I sob. Harry didn't deserve this. He is so sweet and kind. And I just didn't even try. I'm messed up and he isn't going to forgive me.
