Between

Chapter 5

I see him give her a look as I walk towards the table and her smile in response.

"Breakfast?" He ask looking up at me.

"No thanks, I gotta run anyway." I reply. 

"Damn, I was hoping to catch up." He claims but by the look he's giving me he has something else in mind.

"Some other time." I tell him.

"How are you going? I drove you here." Tessa ask.

"Don't worry Reece I'll drop him off on my way to work. Right, Harry?" Niall says putting his cup in the sink.

He walks by Tessa and kisses her on the cheek. Walks towards me and opens the door. I had plan on catching a cab but now I'm curious.

"Harry," he says gesturing to the door.

I smile with a small snort, nod and walk to the door without a word.

I want to beat his ass but I have to keep it together for Tessa. Besides I actually liked Niall and could see us as friends if I could get him away from Tessa. So I just grit my teeth and with a small wave I walk out.

I wait for the elevator doors to close.

"What do you want?" I ask not looking at him.

"Shouldn't I ask you the same?" He ask back blankly staring at the elevator doors.

I turn to him. "You've got something to say?" I ask rolling my eyes. Everything in me as always is pushing me to just hit him so I choose a safer route. " I mean damn can't get not one "friend" to get the fuck off my girl. " I say with a chuckle thinking of how Zayn thought we were friends.

"You're girl?" He laughs , which pushes me closer to my limit but I push it down. "You usually dump someone so important in another country? I mean you've done some dumb shit Harry, but with her?"

"What the fuck is it to you! You don't understand Tessa and I, no one does." He has the nerve to laugh again. I take a sharp breath trying to hold myself together.

"No dumb ass. You don't understand "Tess"."

"Her name is Tessa!" I yell as the elevator door opens.

"That's my point Harry!" He gives me a wow look then shakes his head. Then quieter he says, "her name is Reece." He steps out leaving me questioning what the fuck he's talking about.

I mean I'm not deaf I heard him call her that but I just thought it was a nickname or something. What does that even mean "her name is Reece". What the fuck am I supposed to take from that.

I catch up to him as he says, "what's your plan here?"

"What?, to get her back obviously." I answer.

"So you can fuck it up again? Nice." He says as he turns to me. "Reece and I are... ."

"Don't! Spare me, I really don't think I could take knowing... ." Before I can finish he interrupts me.

"Come on Harry. You know I'm not Zayn. But I do care about Reece, so I ask that you at least get to know Reece before you continue this fantasy you have of Tessa." He says Tessa emphasizing on the A.

"You got something to say just fucking say it." I say back as he gets in Tessa's car. "Why?" I ask pointing to it.

"Wow, you know I don't have a car yet." He responds as I get in. When we're both in the car he says, "damn your self centered."

"Wow." I say back. "Like you didn't know that."

"You really didn't notice?" He ask.

"What the fuck is everyone talking about!" I scream. "Her names Reece, she's different. Fucking how? It's just because of everything that happened. She'll be fine! You'll see she's always fine."
