Back at home I didn't do much, except sleep and order uber eats for a few days.

Kellie has been organising everything we need for the concert this weekend.

She's so excited about it, but i'm still trying to recover from what Jack did to me.

I try so hard, I really do. I want to be able to say 'fuck you, Im not even going to think about that asshole' but I just can't, he's broke me.

I think i'm just a dramatic person who always feels sorry for herself.

But every-time I think like that, a just turn into a downward spiral that overthinks every little inconvenience in my life. Once i'm in that spiral it takes me months for me to get out of it.

But the worst thing is I know exactly what i'm doing, I just don't no how to stop it.

Kellie is always the one to get me out of it, I don't know how she's still friends with me, I'm so annoying.

But this time I have convinced myself to get up and get moving, mostly because I'm excited to see harry tomorrow, and I want to look my best.

I'll take it though, it's the first time in my life I have gotten myself out of this spiral.

I'm proud of myself.

I turn over to grab my phone and text Kellie.

Kellie

Me - I'm going to go get my outfit for tomorrow, don't worry about getting me one xx

Kellie - I'm so proud of you, can't wait to see what you picked out :) P.s I already got you an outfit just in case you had nothing to wear, but i'm sure your going to pick out the best outfit ever!!

Me - Thanks Kel, love you so much.

I hop out of bed and find the closest pair of jeans, put on a bit of makeup and head to the shops.

I hate that I left it this late to find an outfit, everyone would have gotten theirs like 3 months in advance.

All I know is that I definitely want to wear pink and lots of it.

Once I get to the shops I start to walk around looking for clothes that look like something Harry would wear.

As I was doing that I saw Jack standing in the middle of the shopping centre, my heart drops immediately and I start walking in the other direction frantically.

I bump into someone and trip from the impact of their rock solid body.

Just as I was about to hit the floor the person catches me from the waist.

He pulls me up, I don't get to see who this stranger is as he's got his hood up and covering his face. But I can tell by his figure that it is a man.

I look up to say sorry, but just as I was about to, he beats me to it.

"I'm so sorry, I should have been paying attention." I hear his British accent and immediately recognise that piercing deep voice from anywhere.

I start to freak out in my head, then I realise that he is just a human being, and he obviously doesn't want to be recognised right now as he is all covered up.

So, I do my best to remain calm and act like I don't know who he is.

"Oh no, don't apologise I was the one in a rush." I say, nearly stuttering at every word.

Just as we were about to walk in our separate ways, I hear Jack's voice.

"Oh my god Eve, I've been so worried about you," he says giving Harry a side eye. "Who is this weirdo?"

I want to punch him in the face right then and there, but I can't, I have to act normal, Harry Styles is right next to me.

"I accidentally ran into him. I was in a bit of a rush getting out of the shops, something frightened me." I give Jack a vexed look, trying to indicate I don't want him near me right now.

I feel Harry look over at me, catching on the vibe I'm very clearly sending towards Jack.

It's not hard to pick up that, as I feel so uncomfortable right now. This man literally assaulted me not long ago, so I don't think I'm overreacting what so ever.

"Ok well this is fucking weird, let's go Eve I have something I want to talk to you about." He grabs my arm.

He grabs my arm. I feel sick, I can't stand this man.

I jolt and wince at the feel of his touch. Trying to not act unnatural.

But the last thing I want to do is go with him right now.

Right as I was about to give in, and start walking away with him, Harry pushes Jack away from me and I step behind him as a shield. I wanted to make sure there is enough space between Jack and, so I can finally breath again.

"Look mate, she obviously feels uncomfortable around you." Harry says in a stern voice, "so she is not going anywhere with you."

I look at Jack from behind Harry's tall structure, and he's clearly about to lose it.

"I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but you can't tell me what I can and can't do with MY girlfriend!" He's yelling, now causing a massive scene.

"I'm not your girlfriend, Jack." I say, feeling like I can stand up for myself standing behind Harry.

"Shut your fucking mouth, bitch." He says in a stern yet quiet voice, because he is in public and knows he'll get in trouble, if he yells this at me.

But Harry definitely heard it, because as soon as he said that. Harry throws a massive punch at Jack and he falls to the floor.

"No man should ever speak to a woman like that!" Harry yells, not even worried about the massive crowd around us.

Just as Jack was about to get up and throw a punch back at Harry, I see security running in our direction.

That's when I grab Harry's hand and run.

I think about how bad this will be for him if it gets out. Even though he was doing the right thing, people will somehow twist it so it's his fault.

That's what people do, they put other people down that they envy, because it somehow makes them feel better. And let's be honest you either love Harry or envy him. He's that perfect there's no in between, some people believe he's a good person and a lot of people don't. All the people that don't, will feed off this and not stop until he's 'cancelled', then they'll move to the next.

I don't want him to go through that because of me, I wouldn't forgive myself.

So here I am holding Harry Style's hand running through the shopping centre, with security after us.

How did my day go from lying in my bed doing nothing, to this?

We finally reach the parking lot where my car is parked. I grab my keys from out of my pocket and unlock my car.

"Quick, get in the car that just unlocked." I tell him out of breath.

We quickly jumps in the car and I reverse out of the parking spot, nearly running over a security guard doing so.

Then I drive as fast as I can, until I can't see them in my rear mirror anymore.

We finally calm down and put our seat belts on, we sit there trying to catch our breath for a good 5 minutes.

"Thank you." I say, puffing from all the cardio I just did. "You didn't have to stick up for me but you did, I really appreciate it." I continued.

"That's ok, but I never did catch your name," he says forming a little smile on his face.

Shit I forgot that we haven't introduced ourselves, I still need to act like I don't know him.

I laugh, "I'm Eve, and you are?" I wonder if he will actually introduce himself as him or just a random name.

"Harry." He says with a smile.

Yeah no shit.
