And Always.

Chapter 9

(On The Floor By Jennifer Lopez And Pitbull)

Sapnap's Pov

I sat in the far corner, staring off into space. Daytona and Wilbur both sat on each side of me. Both of their arms were around me, rubbing my back. The tears filled my eyes once again.

Skylar was sat across from me, Belle and Ranboo holding her together, while Techno made sure all of the kids weren't causing trouble.

I could see her.

I could hear her.

I was so close to her, I could go touch her.

My heart was completely shattered, and whatever progress I had made, was completely crushed. I was crushed when I realized Harper's ex was Yomar.

It was crushed when i realized that me and Harley Ace Willows were in the same fucking room. She was drunk, and 10 feet away from me, about to do fucking karaoke. She held the microphone in her hands, and looked at the people dancing.

Eryn left the bar, and stood on the side to watch her. Everyone knew her. Dlo stood next to her, grabbing his own microphone, and they both had huge smiles on their faces.

"Do you wanna leave, Nicholas?" Skylar asked me, looking over and seeing Harley setting up.

"I'm okay. If you need to leave, go Skylar." She looked around at all of the people at our table.

"You wouldn't be mad?" Her voice came out soft, and I shook my head.

"Ranboo get her out of here." And with that, Skylar was leaving the bar with Ranboo while I sat there and stared at Harley. Her voice was like a harmony I would never get sick of. No matter how long I heard it.

"Why aren't you leaving too?" Daytona asked, and I stood up, pushing my chair back.

"I have not waited for 5 years to see her in a bar, and to not say anything." My feet carried me, to the middle of the bar, straight eyesight with her, as Wilbur and Daytona stood next to me.

"Dance the night away, Live your life and stay young on the floor." Her head raised, and her eyes peeled away from Dlo, and her eyes settled on me.

The familiar burning sensation took over my skin. The goosebumps covered my arms as she stared at me.

"So this is the infamous Harley Willows." Wilbur looked down at me, but I never broke eye contact with Harley.

"Armstrong." I could see the look of confusion out of the corner of my eyes on Wilbur's face.

"Harley Armstrong."

"Dance the night away... Grab somebody, drink a little more..." The red corset adorned her body, black jeans, and red heel boots. The tattoos littered her arms. Any showing piece of skin, now had some form of mark on it. The N on her neck, which was what stood out to me the most.

And once the song was over, Dlo followed her line of sight and landed on me, the Yomar, and then Abu. Until all of my friends, and all her friends were staring at us, wondering, what happens next...

Her feet carried her up the stars, and Dlo followed her, holding her arm.

"Nick." Her voice barely came out even in a whisper. And at that moment, I wanted to drop to my knees right in front of her. She was actually standing right in front of me. It wasn't some sort of sick dream anymore.

Harley Willows, the love of my fucking life, was standing right in front of me, and i couldn't breathe.

"Harley." And as soon as her name came out of my mouth, all hell broke loose.

She broke down crying, her feet carrying her towards me, her arms thrown out to go around me, and I was so prepared to have her back in my arms again. And then two men grabbed her arms.

"Man, let go of her!" Abu pushed one of them, and they barely budged.

"Bosses orders." The man looked over at the dude who was sitting by himself at the bar.

"Harper get the fuck off of me." And with that, Yomar pushed Harper off of him, in the most gentle way he possibly could, and threw himself at one of the bodyguards.

The only one still had a death grip on Harley, and nobody was having it.

"Yomar, stop-" Abu tried to pull him off of the bodyguard.

"It's okay, Ace, focus on me." Dlo said, standing in front of Harley. Next thing I know she was getting picked up, bridal style by Dlo, and carried out of the bar.

"Don't fucking touch me." Yomar looked at Harper when she put her arm on him. They rushed out of the bar, following wherever Dlo went.

I was not losing her again.

Dream and Wilbur followed closely behind me, and my world was being flipped upside down again.

"I tried calling you back, but you didn't answer!" Her words were muffled, but you could make them out. But when paparazzi started to show up, they all acted like we were not there.

"Leave me alone, Jessie." Harley said to the man who put his arm around her with a smile on his face.

"Ready to go home?" He asked her, looking back at me, and her eyes screamed for me to help her.

"Har-"

"Ace! Ace! What do you have planned for this tour?" Camera flashes, a bunch of them, and suddenly I was being pulled out of the crowd, away from her. I watched her get into a limo, and I watched that limo drive away.

I lost her. Again.
