RACHELS POV:

I walked in the house and saw all the boys in the livingroom. They were all laughing and smiling. They were happy. I quickly walked to the kitchen before they could see me and I could hear Anne's footsteps behind me.

"Whats wrong?" She asked concerned as she saw the panic on my face.

"Anne, I didn't tell you this but me and Harry haven't spoken since they come third in the x factor." I said and she looked shocked, almost like she couldn't believe her perfect son would do such a thing.

"Why?" She asked, confusion written on her face.

"I dont know but he never texted or called or replied to mine, he forgot about me and that was the thing he promised me he wouldnt do" I said as tears started to fill my eyes as I realise this is the first time I've spoken to someone about it.

"Its okay" Anne said as she hugged me tight, almost like she could put everything back to how it was.

"Mum.." I heard Harrys voice say.

I pulled away from Anne and looked away from him, I didn't want him want see my tears. I wiped away my tears and just stared out the window, hoping he would just go away but when I didn't hear any movement, I knew I had to leave.

"I'm going outside" I said and made my way to their background, where me and Harry had so many memories. Anne looked at me with sympathy eyes and Harry looked at me confused, like he didn't know who I am.

"Whos that?" I heard Harry say before I was outside, making more tears come to my eyes but I tried to hold them back, not wanting to cry over him anymore.

I stood outside letting the wind blow through my long blonde hair and wrapped my cardigan around me more as goose bumps started to form on my arms.

After a couple of minutes I heard someone come outside the back door as it slammed shout behind them.

"Rachel..." I heard Harry's voice trail off, like he was scared about what I would say to him.

I stood still, I didnt answer or look at him, I couldn't bring myself to do so. Soon I felt him standing next to me as his arm brushed mine. I wanted to move away but I knew I couldn't. Harry still had this hold on me and I couldn't move away from him, not now he was standing right next to me for the first time in two years. I looked up and he was looking forward like I was before but I just continued to stare hard at his face, trying to remember the boy I knew before, trying to think of a time I let him down, a reason why he forgot about me.

"You promised..." I said letting my voice trail off as I continued to look at him.

"I know..." He said letting his voice trail off again.

I felt hurt and angry come all through me. He knew. He knew he was forgetting me but didnt care or didnt want to do anything about it? He didn't care that he had left his best friend alone here. He had his dream and probably all the girls and friends he needed, he didn't need me. But he doesn't know how much it fucking hurt to feel him disappear from my life.

"You Fucking Promised Me Harry!" I shouted and he turned to face me now too. "We promised each other one thing..." I trailed off, not wanting to shout but it seemed like that's all I wanted to do right now. He looked down at his feet. "...You Know Whats Different Between Me And You, I Kept Mine!" I shouted, frustrated at him for doing what he did. I started to go towards the door when Harry grapped my wrist and pulled me back, so I was standing in front of him again but this time closer. Our faces only inches away from eachother.

"I know I promised you and I'm sorry I broken it." He spoke, making me shake my head lightly and step one foot away from him.

"Harry its not that simple." I spoke, shaking my head still as I slowly looked at him instead of the ground. "You cant just come back and say you're sorry and think its all going to be ok. That's its all going to go back to how it was because its not!" I spoke with more force trying to get him to understand.

"I know but-"

"SO DONT!" I shouted. "DONT SAY SORRY! BECAUSE A LOT OF THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE WE STOPPED TALKING AND YOU KNOW WHAT! I NEEDED MY BEST FRIEND THROUGH SOME THINGS BUT I KNEW YOU DIDNT NEED ME! SO WANTS THE POINT OF BEING FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE WHO DOESNT WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH ME! HUH?" I shouted as tears come down my cheeks once again making me become frustrated with my emotional self.

Harry looked down and didnt say anything and I didn't know what else to say. So, I took one last look at him before walking back through the house not bothering to wipe my tears as I made my way to the front door.

"Rachel you okay?" Anne asked as I passed her to the door but I waved her off as I opened the door and started towards my house.

"RACHEL! WAIT!" I heard Harry shout as I stepped out into the street. I was about to cross the road when someone grapped my wrist and pulled me back.

"HARRY GET OFF ME!" I shouted, trying to get his grip off of me but his hold was too tight.

"I'M SORRY OKAY! IM SORRY I WERENT THERE WHEN YOU NEEDED ME! BUT DONT THINK FOR ONE SECOND THAT I DIDNT NEED YOU!" As he said this I looked at the floor, not knowing what to say, wanting him to finish what he had to say first. "THE TIME I GOT HATE ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS CALL YOU UP AND TALK THROUGH IT WITH YOU BECAUSE I KNEW YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT TO SAY AND DO!" He shouted.

"Why didn't you?" I whispered to him before he could say anything else. He stayed quiet for a moment before answering and I was almost scared he wasn't going to answer me as I looked up into his eyes that were full of sorrow.

"I didnt because I thought you could do better. Better than have a best friend like me. Someone who messes up. Someone whos becoming famous." He said in a low voice looking down.

"Harry..." I said, lifting his chin so he would look at me. "...I couldnt do better. I dont care if you mess up sometimes, we all do, its life. And I don't care if you're famous, you'll always be plain old, normal Harold Edward Styles from Holmes Chapel to me" I said with a smile and he smiled back.

"I missed you!" He whispered as he hugged me tight.

"I missed you too!" I said in his ear as I hugged him back just as tight.
