Chapter One

~ One Year Later ~

I stared at the door in front of me. My hands were shaking, my head hurt. I couldn't do it. Couldn't do this.

My shaking hand gripped the doorknob and I walked inside mine and Harry's apartment. He smiled up at me from the couch, his whole face lighting up. I was going to pass out.

"Hi, love," Harry greeted me as I sat down next to him.

"Hey," I couldn't look at him. He had no idea what was about to happen, he was just glad I was home.

"So love, I need to talk to you," Harry interrupted my thoughts.

"Um actually, I need to talk to you, too. Could I please go first?" I begged. I had to get this over with.

He nodded and watched me.

"Harry- I, uh..Harry." I couldn't form words. " We need to break up."

I watched the smile fade from Harry's face, his expression became one of despair.

"What?" His words came out in barely even a whisper.

"I'm so sorry, Harry."

"Why? Did I do something?"

My heart broke. He thought this was his fault. I didn't want to do this. If I wasn't being forced to, I wouldn't be. We'd be happy.

I prepared myself to lie, the words of pure untruth made my throat feel as if it was swelling up.

" I'm just not happy. I don't want to be in a relationship, and lets face it, there's nothing between us anymore."

The words left a bad taste in my mouth. It hurt to lie to him this way.

I watched the tears stream down his cheeks as I struggled to keep my own from falling. I felt so terrible, all I wanted was to take back the lies I'd said, but I couldn't.

"Uh- I'll be staying at Cassie's for the night.. And I'll come by tomorrow to move out," I said, standing up.

" Before you leave, could I please just have one last kiss?" Harry whispered as his eyes begged me.

I nodded and leaned into him. I still felt sparks anytime we touched, and this kiss was no different.

But I had to pull away, and when I did it took all my strength not to lean in and kiss him again.

Harry left his hand on my cheek, and the other on my hip.

"Don't go. Please, don't go. I don't know what I'm going to do without you." He stared into my eyes, and I let a few tears fall.

"I have to." I stood up and rushed towards the door. I looked back at him one last time, and he stared at me.

"Bye," I whispered. I slipped out the door as fast as I could before collapsing on the floor in tears.

******************************

*Harry's POV*

I watched her slip out the door, wanting nothing more than to run after Anna. But I wanted her to be happy, and if this was what she wanted then I would let her leave. No matter how much it hurt, I had to let her go.

I put my head in my hands and replayed what had just happened over and over again.

What had I done? Why was she unhappy? I was sure this was my fault.

I started crying then, and I cried for and unmeasurable amount of time, at least a few hours, before I got a hold of myself.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out the blue Tiffany box. I opened it up and studied the ring inside. The ring I was going to propose to Anna with tonight.

I suddenly was filled with pure rage, and I chucked the ring and its box as hard as I could at the wall, it made a hole next to the TV.

I was filled with grief again and I laid back on the couch and cried again, thinking about Anna.
