Broken Promises (Harry Styles FanFiction)

Memories.

*EDITED*

Rachel's Pov:

It was a year since Harry left and I only had one friend who was Keith. He was a friend of the families and we were quite close. I had shut everyone else out but because he was a family friend I thought I would have to make the effort of letting him in. So I did. It didnt end well and thats why most people in my family now hate me.

*FLASHBACK*

Keith and I were at the beach and we were splashing about in the water. We had been here a couple of days ago but we wanted to go again as we were bored. We were diving and pushing each other underneath the water when it went to far. I pushed him under and he didnt come back up till a little while. I looked around and saw him floating, just like how Harry was today.

"You won't foul me this time Keith!" I shouted with a small laugh.

He done this last time we came here. He pretended to float around like you would if you were under water too long and couldn't breathe. He scared me the first time but this time I knew what it was so I ignored him. I knew he just wanted to try and get me again and I wasn't going to let it happen, I wasn't going to be fouled this time.

"COME ON! NO NEED TO PRETEND NOW!" I shouted but he didnt flinch, just continued to float around. Just moving with the waves. I started to get worried so I walked up to him.

"Keith!" I shouted and turned him round. 

I saw his eyes closed. I looked at his chest and saw he weren't breathing. Oh, god! I pulled him out of the water to the sandy beach and checked his pulse but I couldn't feel anything.

"HELP!" I shouted to everyone who walked past. A couple stopped and came up to me.

"Whats the matter dear?" She asked

"Please help, he was under the water too long" I said panicking, I didn't know what to do all I knew was that it was my fault, if I had got to him earlier he would still be breathing.

"Dont worry we will call the ambulance." She said and got her phone out.

By the time the ambulance got here he was already gone. They tried everything but it was too late. They asked how long he was under and I said a couple of minutes. They said if I got there early he could have survivored. It was my fault. I thought he was joking so I told him to stop. I didnt bother to see if he was actually gone.

My mum and dad found out that I could have saved him early and we had a whole agruement about it for a whole night. That was the day that me and my parents started to drift away. Keiths family were mad at me because I could have saved him and to be honest I was mad at me. If you had the chance to save someones life you would take it right? Well I didnt. I thought he was joking. You may think that some part of me might think it werent, right? But no. Every part of me thought or even knew it was a joke. I hate myself for putting him through that, for putting his family through that. I don't blame anyone for hating me for it.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

Rachel's Pov:

Thats why I was so angry and upset about Harry. I mean I shouldnt take it out on him but it just brought up the past which ruined everything and didnt want to remember it. I know harry thinks its his fault but its not. He must feel so bad and I ruined the day for the other boys as well. Its always my fault, as usual.

"We're here!" Harry said and got out without looking at me.

I frowned. He really hated me right now? I didn't mean to make him hate me, I didn't want this to go how it did but I just couldn't help the memories that re-surfaced.

"Harry?" I called as I got out the car and walked quickly to catch up with him.

"Yea?" He said with no expression.

"I'm sorry" I said and he stopped just before the front door and I did too. We both looked at eachother and he had hurt in his eyes, I could tell.

"Why are you sorry? I should be the one ap-"

"No, I'm sorry. Its not your fault that I lashed out on you at the beach. It just brought up the past that I don't want to remember and it just brought angry and sadness to me. You dont need to apologise. So I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lashed out on you and I'm sorry I ruined your day." I rambled.

"Its okay, just please tell me why you lashed out?" He said as he grapped my hand and I nodded.

"Okay but in private" I said and he nodded.

"Boys me and Rachel will be in my room if you need us" He said and the boys nodded as they walked into the kitchen to get food.

"Okay tell me?" He said as we sat down on his bed.

While I sat there telling Harry the whole story he listened. He didnt interupt me. He comforted me when I was crying and let me finish.

"I'm sorry. I didnt know" He said hugging me tight as I cried into his chest.

"Its okay, you wouldnt" I said and pulled away from the hug as I wiped away the tears.

"Lets promise something?" Harry said and I raise my eyebrow at him.

"What?" I asked

"Promise each other that no matter what we will tell each other the truth?" He said unsure and I smiled.

"Sure." I said and put my pinky up and Harry wrapped his around mine.

"I, Harry Edward Styles promise to tell Rachel Rose Lee the truth no matter what." He said

"And I, Rachel Rose Lee Promise to tell Harry Edward Styles the truth no matter what." I said.

After we finished talking we went down stairs.

"I'm gonna go home" I said and Harry frowned.

"Why?" He asked pouting.

"You need to spend some time with teh boys you know?" I said with a smile as I watched Harrys face.

"I know but i want to spend time with you" He said pouting more.

"You will but go spend some with the boys" I said and he nodded, understanding that I wasn't going anywhere and I would be here still.

"Okay, Bye Rainbow" He said and I smiled as he brought me into a tight hug. I love Harrys hugs. I always felt at home, loved and wanted in his arms.

"Bye Haribo" I say as I pull away and he smiles.

"Bye boys" I shouted

"Bye" I hear them say back as I walked back to my house.
