Harry & Maggie seen sharing the cutest embrace after his Coachella performance.

Onlookers backstage watched and captured pictures and video of the two. Harry running to kiss her and spin her around.

They truly looked the happiest they had ever been in a while.

Harry's POV

"So that's it. Just like that. You love me, but you leave just like that. Again." I said. I felt so much anger towards her. Betrayed, even though I knew it was the one thing she asked of me.

"Harry, please." She tried to place her hand on my cheek and I pushed it away. I did want her pity. She pulled back, I could see the pain in her eyes, but a part of me wanted her to hurt. Her phone began ringing and I looked down, "They are here." she said.

I nodded, standing up, walking to the window, looking out it. She was really leaving and I didn't know how to stop her. How to fix this. I couldn't be what she needed. Honor the one boundary that had brought us so close together these past weeks. When there was no Olivia, we were the best version of our relationship. The light was in her eyes, and her staying would put it out.

"Well, I'm going to go." She said softly.

Please don't.

"Okay. I'll send someone to grab my things." I said shortly.

Harry. Don't let her go.

"Okay. I love you Harry. I'm sorry." She said softly a few minutes later I heard the door close behind me.

I fell to my knees and cried. I just wanted happiness. Just once. And she was it.

Maggie's POV

I walked into the house and Becca looked at me, confusion on her face, "Mags, what are you doing back so early?"

I shook my head and started crying. She was by my side quickly, pulling me into a hug.

"Hey, hey it's okay. I got you. I got you always Maggie."

Harry Styles holding on to someone during Billie's set last night but it wasn't who you think.

Harry was spotted with his arms wrapped around Olivia Wilde during the set. Fans were heard booing him and questioning where Maggie was.

Maggie was not seen the entire day two of the event.

A source close to the pop star states he was simply keeping his friend warm.

I locked my phone, placing it on the bedside table and pulled the cover back over me. It hadn't even been a day.

I knew he was wasted, Sarah, Anita and Charles had all told me, but it didn't matter.

I closed my eyes and fell back asleep, the only thing that I knew was going to numb the pain.

I woke up to someone sitting on my bed, I opened my eyes, my heart full of hope, but it was only Charles. I never thought I would ever be disappointed to see Charles, but I was.

"Come here Maggie." He said and I sat up curling into him, wrapping myself in him and crying, "I'm sorry Mags."

I cried until I fell asleep. I slept until Charles left.

The weeks passed. A new article almost weekly. They were everywhere. I couldn't turn in any direction without without seeing them plastered everywhere.

Months passed. Everything hurt a little less. I didn't wince at the sound of his name anymore. I didn't feel the need to listen to old voicemails from him. I finally stopped replaying that morning in my mind.

But I never stopped loving him. Everyday. I felt like I somehow loved him more.

"Maggie, you ready?" Charles said peeking into my office.

"Yeah." I nodded and took a deep breath standing up.

The end of October came quickly, and Harry would be beginning his shows in two days. Jeff was here so we could update paper work from the last time and because of my position I had to be in the meeting with him and Charles.

We walked through to the small conference room and Charles walked into ahead of me.

"Charles, so good to see you again, cannot wait for another 15 shows!" Jeff said shaking Charles hand.

He turned to me and smiled small, "Maggie."

I gave him a small nod and the three of us sat down.

"So nothing much has changed from what we expect from you all last time. I think his rider had changed a bit, I'll email that over to Maggie soon. Is there anything you need from us? Need us to know?"

"Ah, yes. Maggie's workload is heavier than the previous residency. She is currently strictly main act needs, meaning she will not be at the service of the main acts guests. That duty will fall strictly to her two assistants Anita or Becca. She will not relay information to them, the requests must be made directly to them, not Maggie." Charles said sternly.

I pulled out the new contract from our end, and handed it to Jeff, "This will all need to be resigned. I have also emailed a DocuSign if that's preferred. Everything is the same except what Charles just explained.

"Hmm, and what if they can't be reached?" Jeff raised an eyebrow.

"Then I will locate them, or if I have the time, I will do it. As you know, we are just here to serve your needs." I smiled small before looking away.

"Alright. I'll get everything over to you tonight. Good to see you again Charles." Jeff said before making his way out.

I sat there for a moment, taking long deep breaths.

"Maggie, you okay?"

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" I said standing up quickly and walking past Charles. I needed to get to my office before anyone saw me cry.
