You're Still The One

Chapter 13- Loved You First

(Harry's POV)

Rebecca and Thomas went to go find their seats while the boys and I got ready to perform. I couldn't concentrate though. Rebecca said she thinks Valerie loves me. I didn't know if she had loved her ex but it was obvious that she no longer did. That little information made my heart race. "Ready lad?" Liam asked me. I nodded. I knew what I had to do to win back Valerie.

(Valerie's POV)

Chris and I were in our seats and ready for the concert to begin. "Valerie?" Chris said taking my attention away from the stage. I looked up at him. "Yes?" I asked when he didn't say anything. "Do you think you can forgive me for what I did? I was stupid and reckless and I can promise you now that it will never happen again." Chris said taking my hand. I didn't say anything but my cheeks began to turn red. I was about to tell him something when the concert began. I guess he'll just have to wait until after the concert for my response. The first song that began to blare from the stage was "I Would". I found it kind of ironic that this would be their first song they sang but I didn't say as much. I could tell there was something off with Harry. He seemed a little to cheerful and it infuriated me that he could be so happy after his behavior these lat two days. I didn't know why I cared so much but it bothered me.

The concert was almost over and the boys were on their last song for the night. I didn't think much of the dogs they had played before but I would glance up at Harry and see him staring at me when his solos came up. My heart would pound in my chest and I would begin to blush. "Okay. For the final song of the night we're going to sing for you 'Loved You First'." Harry said into his microphone. The song began to play and my heart began to pound in my chest again. When it was Harry's turn to sing, he walked up and stood in front of me. "But now when I see you with him it tears my world apart." He sang to me. I looked away as I felt my eyes begin to prick with tears. I felt Chris squeeze my hand, trying to get me to look up at him. I regained my control and looked up when the chorus began. The boys had lined up to stand close to the audience and Harry hadn't moved from his spot in front of me. When the chorus finished, Louis moved up to sing. I felt my stomach clench when it was Harry's turn to sing.

"I never understood what love was really like. Felt it for the first time looking in your eyes." Harry sang. I could feel the tears prick my eyes again. I knew he was singing to me and I didn't know what to think of it. Chris was worried about my reaction but didn't say anything. I watched as the boys sang and Harry never left his gaze from me. On the last lines, Harry looked me in the eye and sang, "Baby I loved you first."

When we got back to my apartment, Chris hadn't said a word to me the whole car ride home. He parked in front of my apartment and turned off the car. "Valerie. You don't have to say anything but I need you to hear this." Chris said after what felt like hours of silence. I looked up at him and nodded. "When we were together, it was the best thing in fe entire world for me. When I told you that I loved you I meant it one hundred percent. After you found out about me and Jessica, I felt the biggest idiot for doing that to you. I knew you deserved better so that's why I broke up with you. And when Rebecca decked me and broke my nose, I knew I deserved it. You obviously got over me and moved on which I completely understand. I'm not gunna pressure you into taking me back but I'm asking you if you can at least forgive me. I'm the biggest idiot for breaking up with you and breaking your heart and if I can just have your forgiveness I can move on. I knew it's going to be impossible to win you back because it's pretty obvious you love that guy Harry. And it's obvious he loves you too. The way he was singing to you tonight made it clear." Chris said. I looked down at my hands. Rebecca still wasn't home and I desperately needed her. I was so confused as to what my feelings were. I know I don't love Chris. That has been plain and obvious even when I was dating him. And after what he did to me, I knew I definitely wasn't in love with him.

But Harry was different. He was the famous pop star that I was in love with in high school. I would've never thought that I would go to London for one of his concerts, meet him and have him fall head over heels for me from first glance. I didn't think that we would be together for a little over a year and that he would break up with me out of the blue. "Chris, I think I can forgive you but I don't know what my feelings are for Harry yet. I know I still have really strong feelings for him but I don't know if I love him or not." I said to Chris. He nodded. "It's okay. I understand." He said with a sad smiled. I got out of his car and watched him drive away and put of my life for the second time.
