Ari's POV 

     "Zayn, we need to talk." He lets out a big sigh. He turns around and his eyes look shiny like he's about to cry. Zayn is frowning and he is making me feel awful for what I am about to say.

     "We were together, in high school Zayn. I'm not saying there wasn't anything between us but I am with Harry now," I say as I struggle to say these things, "I love you Zayn, just not in that way anymore. Maybe there was a reason I lost those memories." I mentally slap myself at the last part. Why did I say that? He immediately reacts and the tears stream down his face.

     "Ari, I know you love Harry and I am trying to accept it but you have to accept some things too. I love you and I know you may only remember a small amount of those things but I remember everything Ari and for you to say something like that to me? And I know I didn't approach the situation in the best way but you can't just expect me to act like we never had anything," he blurts out in between sobs.

     I stutter, "I-I-I know, I'm not saying that Zayn. I just want you to know that I don't want you to waste time on something that won't happen. I don't want to keep hurting you." He sighs and sniffles.

     "Loving you Ari is too easy. Your personality is perfect, your eyes are perfect, your smile is perfect, your BODY is perfect, and you're perfect. You were meant for me and I won't give up until you're mine!"

     Why is it so hard to get rid of this boy? He's really sweet, how could he say those things? I don't know how to feel right now. My feelings are everywhere. Zayn knows how to make me feel... Better, per say. My feelings get straightened out when I think of Harry. My lovely Harry who I love so very much. He was mine and I was his. I have no feelings for Zayn. Right? Zayn may have them for me but I don't have them for him... I can't.

     "Zayn... Please don't make this more difficult than it already is," I whisper, just loud enough so he can hear it. I try and avoid his eye contact. He walks toward me and his sobs have ceased. He tries to look into my eyes but quickly turn, scared I'll get stuck in a trance.

     "Ari, just let it happen," he says grabbing my waist. I turn to him and look into the gorgeous orbs. I do get stuck in a trance, a trance that seems to pull me closer to him. I'm scared of what might happen. We both are getting closer until Harry pops into my head. I couldn't do this to Harry, not again. I quickly back away. He moans in a whining manner.

     "Zayn, I'm sorry, but I can't." I hurry out of the room. I don't want anything else to happen. Why would Zayn try and do this to Harry? I hurriedly leave the room, Zayn close on my tail. I try to naturally walk into the living room. It doesn't work. Harry walks up to me and puts his hands around my waist.

     He already looks angry, "What did he do Ari? I will hurt him!" He's actually really sexy when he's jealous.

     Before I could even get a word out Zayn comes out and throws his hands in the air, defensively, "Don't worry Harold, she wouldn't do anything. Not even for the guy she knows she loves. She won't admit she loves me though." I gasp. But what Zayn says throws Harry over and he quickly stomps over to Zayn. He gets so close, noses almost touch.

     "If you ever try to make a move on her again, you will never see daylight," Harry says angrily, gritting his teeth.

     "You just can't accept the fact that she may have feelings for me," Zayn spats back.

     "You are just so sure of yourself, aren't you Zayn? YOU are the one who can't accept that Ari doesn't want you and she never will!" Harry retorts. I step in before it gets physical, again.

     "Harry, Zayn, please stop! If I am going to tear your guys' friendship a part than I don't want to be in this relationship. Either you guys fix your relationship and stay best friends or keep fighting over something stupid and lose this friendship forever!"
