Chrissie's POV

"How do you know him?" Kyle asks quietly. I pause. What am I supposed to tell him? The truth? He'll either think I'm crazy or think I made the whole thing up just to get with Harry Styles. I can't tell him the truth.

"Long story." I tell him. Hopefully he won't ask anymore questions, but I know Kyle. He won't give up until he knows the truth. I'm his girlfriend and it must hurt to know that I'm not telling him everything.

"I have time." He says. I stare at him sadly. I can't. I'm not going to lie to him. I'll try and avoid the conversation somehow, get us talking about something else.

"Are you walking home?" I ask randomly, but I mentally slap myself. He always walks home. What a stupid question!

"Stop avoiding the subject Chrissie. Why won't you tell me how you met him or how you even know him?" He says impatiently. He's getting annoyed but tries to keep calm. "I just want to know a simple question. What is so bad that you can't tell me?"

"It's not that it's bad, it's that you won't believe me." I tell him. He looks confused but then his face softens into curiosity.

"I promise I'll believe you." He says, smiling. I sigh and look to the floor. If I tell him how I met Harry, then I'll have to tell him about everything and that will break his heart.

I look back up to Kyle and see he's waiting for an answer. I'm going to end things with him anyway, and this way I can tell him the truth at the same time. I know it will hurt him but it will hurt more if I lie and then he finds out the truth in the end.

"Fine." I give in. Kyle smiles as I start to explain my story. "You know my dream?"

"Yeah..." He says as he nods his head. A look of confusion crosses his face and then disbelief covers it.

"Well, it was true. All of it. Harry died and I was the only one who could see him. We fell in love and we kissed... but after we kissed, he woke from a coma and it was as if we had never met. It was as if 'James' never existed and that's why you, Gabby, Justin, no one remembers him but I do. I thought it was a dream at first, I mean... How could all of that be true? It's impossible right? Obviously not." Kyle looks completely dumbfounded. Shock masks his face with a mix of confusion, sadness and realisation.

"But... That couldn't have... There's no way..." Kyle trails off unable to speak. He's speechless and I'm not surprised. It's not everyday you tell someone something like this.

"Kyle? Say something." I say. I can't stand the silence. I can't stand that I don't know what he's thinking of all this. I need to know. I need to know if he actually believes me or if he thinks I'm some lying bitch.

"What am I supposed to say? You told me the impossible, but why else would Harry Styles be here to talk to you in private? Of course it's true." He says, looking down at the ground. His eyes suddenly go wide and his head snaps up. "You said you fell in love... Do you still love him?" He asks. I was afraid of this question but I knew it was coming. He deserves the truth. I nod my head. Guilt washes over me as I see Kyle's face turn pale.

"I'm sorr-" I don't finish my words as Kyle puts his hand up for me to stop talking.

"Don't." He says. "Don't say sorry."

"But I am! I am sorry! I'm sorry for hurting you! I do love you." I tell him. I do.

"But let me guess, you love him more right?" He says, hurt and anger in his voice. I don't say anything, I don't even nod. I don't want to make him even more upset than he already is.

"I'm so sorry Kyle..." I say but he doesn't listen. He looks at me one last time before he turns around and walks away.

I feel so bad and so guilty but it had to be done. He would have been upset either way and I have to get over it. He might never forgive me but he won't always be upset. He will find someone else, someone better than me, someone who can treat him right. Not someone who leaves him for someone else.
