Butterflies (A Harry Styles Love Story) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 51 - Let Me Fix You Too

Jennifer's POV

I knew Harry well enough still, to know that he was doing everything he could to avoid looking at me as he quietly tuned his guitar. Coughing slightly, he pressed his fingers to the strings, strumming lightly, it was a tune I vaguely recognised. Where from? I didn't know but I could barely concentrate on the melody as I felt myself becoming flustered and uncomfortable.

I couldn't just leave, I wasn't stupid or ignorant, I knew Harry was about to pour his heart out, apologise to me, through song and I knew that took a lot of courage for him. But, what he hadn't remembered is my hate of being centre of attention. Scarlett, Louis Niall and Violet all had their eyes fixed on me, awaiting my reaction and it only made me feel all the claustrophobic.

I tried to push everything aside and focus on the floral decorations, dotted around the room as Harry began to sing,

Shut the door, turn the lights off

I wanna be with you

I wanna feel your love

I wanna lay beside you

I cannot hide this even though I try

Heart beats harder

Time escapes me

Trembling hands touch skin

I couldn't do this, not here, not now. I stood up, flattening out my dress as best I could over my bump before squeezing past the rows of seats at the top table, making my way to the exit as harry continued to sing, his eyes closed, oblivious to my departure.

It makes this harder

And the tears stream down my face

If we could only have this life for one more day

If we could only turn back time

You know I'll be

Your life, your voice, your reason to be

My love, my heart

Is breathing for this

Moment in time

I'll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

I closed the door behind me, resting my weight on it as I breathed deeply before navigating my way around the maze of corridors and out of this damn building, I could still hear Harry's voice through the thin walls, although quiet, it felt like it was deafening me, surrounding me.

Close the door

Throw the key

Don't wanna be reminded

Don't wanna be seen

Don't wanna be without you

My judgement is clouded

Like tonight's sky
