Harry's POV
The last two days have been a whirlwind, the Grammys happened, I performed, I won. Watermelon sugar was doing better than ever, the win only prompted the single to go back to number 1. In order to keep it there, this week was all about interviews and promotions.

Today I was on set for Don't Worry Darling before promotions began tomorrow. Half way through the shoot and I was currently having lunch in my trailer when Olivia came in.

"Hey you" she chirped, walking in

"Hi Olivia"

"We have the table read for the car scene today, have you had a look at the script?" She asked, coming and taking a seat next to mine.

"Yeah, I did." I said, she nodded as the room fell silent.

"Harry? I need to ask you something" she spoke, I looked over at her aiding her to ask me what it was that she wanted. "You never asked me to come with you to the Grammys?" She said, hurt clearly lingering in her voice.

"No I didn't. PR wants us to pretend like we're trying to keep things private, you being there would have been the opposite." I said

"Well yes, but you invited Arya" she said bluntly

"Okay?" I replied

"Okay?" She asked, "nothing to say about that?"

"What is there to say? I wanted Ella to be there so Arya came as well. Not to mention she works for me." I said

"But why does she work for you?"

"What does that even mean? What exactly are you trying to ask?" I asked Olivia, my tone clearly annoyed.

"What I'm trying to say is, I think you feel like you owe her something. For raising your daughter you feel like you have to give her a job, and money, fame. You don't need to do any of that. She was perfectly fine working with whoever she worked with, she was fine being a single parent, you give both her and Ella so much importance for absolutely no reason, it's honestly really frustrating to even speak to you without you mentioning your daughter, it's just becoming so annoying I don't know how to react. Why would you take her to the Grammy and not your own girlfriend? Why Harry?!" She was basically screaming at this point, chest rising up and down almost in fury.

The more I was around Olivia the more unbearable she seemed to be.

"We should end whatever we have going on." I said

My words clearly taking her aback, she looked at me in disbelief. "What?" She asked

"You heard me. This started as a PR stunt, let's just end this now. It's pointless."

"Harry I love you-" she began to speak but I cut her off

"And I'm sorry, because I know how you feel but I don't feel the same way. I should have told you right then, but I was afraid to hurt you. The truth is I should have ended this before it even started." I finished

"Harry please let's talk about this."

"Olivia, there's not much to talk about. You and I have nothing in common,  we started this as a PR thing and it was supposed to end with that. As professionals we need to get this film done but I don't think being in this relationship is a good idea anymore. It never should have happened."

"Why are you saying all this? Just because I got mad that I wasn't at the Grammys? I take it all back Harry it's completely fine! See look! I'm good!"

"Olivia-"

"Harry it's fine"

"You're not listening to me, listen to me please." I spoke a lot calmer
