Taylor's P.O.V

"Hey Selena, how's the party going?" I call as I walk through the door, instant noise greets me as she smiles at me. "I guess that's your answer Tay," I laugh and follow her into the over-run lounge. Seeing multiple people I haven't seen in months since I started the 1989 tour. Turning to Selena I saw she had disappeared, turning around in a circle someone behind me said, "You twirl like a princess Miss Swift." I froze knowing that voice anywhere. Turning slowly red hair came into view and I smiled widely and leapt into Ed's outstretched hands. Smelling his familiar tea and cinnamon smell I felt comfortable and safe but it also brought back memories.

*FLASHBACK*
"Oh come on Taylor, stop being such a prude." I winced as his hand leapt out and tightly grasped mine. "I'm not a prude Harry, I have self-respect. What's wrong with that?""Everything," a very drunk Harry responded tightly gripping my wrist. "Just come upstairs with me." I turned and twisted and eventually broke from Harry's grasp. Pulling my wrist back quickly it returned as I slapped Harry, "You bitch." He stated as his cheek instantly reddened. I felt scared so I walked away to the kitchen. I knew that here Harry wouldn't try anything, not at the risk of Ed finding out what he just said. "Ed." I stated in relief as his sober face met mine, "What's up Tay?" he asked in a low voice. I shook my head and he pulled me into a hug, "I'll take you home then hmm?" he questioned as I nodded but pressed myself into his arms. Tea and cinnamon met my nostrils as we quickly left but not before I text Harry telling him it was over. He responded with a 'Please don't do this, I didn't mean it' text the next morning but it was too late. I boarded a flight to Los Angeles later the next day and didn't respond to him, eventually I changed my number and moved back to Nashville so he couldn't find me.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

"So my dancing has improved then?" I asked Ed while he threw his head back and laughed. "God no, mate you still suck, but that was a princess twirl." I laughed this time and he handed me a closed can of diet coke. I looked at him and he said, "I just grabbed it, never been opened." I smiled and thanked him as we sat down on Selena's couches. "Do you know anyone here?" I asked Ed, he looked me and nervously scratched the back of his neck something he didn't often do but touring with someone for six months lets you know them well so this doesn't get past me. "What Ed?" he breathes out and looks at me. "The boys are here." He says as a tall fedora hat passes through the archway entrance to the living room just as I look up I see green eyes. My breathing hitches as Ed looks at me. "You okay?" I shake my head and he looks up and see's Harry. "Oh, well yeah we were all invited but Selena didn't think you would come so she invited us." I nodded at Ed, I wasn't supposed to be here but my mom was in the hospital for her first treatment so we moved a date to accommodate but it was never made public so everyone assumed that it was regular tour dates. This wasn't true. I froze and looked at him again as he looked at me and then walked away back outside and it was then that I realised that a small part of me still liked him and I couldn't help but wonder why he left and before I realised it I was striding to Selena's backyard.

Harry's P.O.V

'Fuck, Fuck, Fuck' those words, well that one word was the only thing that passed through my mind when her blue eyes met my green ones. I could see the pain and hurt in her eyes all because of me. It made me feel sick, I had been the inspiration behind the songs on her 1989 album and everyone made fun of me for that reason but I accepted it. I made myself feel like I deserved more than that but right now all I felt was love. All I wanted to do was turn around and walk inside and engulf her in my arms and hug the pain away but I couldn't do that. I was a coward but before I could do anything I felt a gentle hand on my back, too soft to be any of the boys but I instantly knew whose hand it was, that particular hand had comforted me several times and that perfume was the same one I had once brought her. "Taylor..." I breathed out and I heard a deep breathe behind me letting me know I guessed it right. Turning slowly I let out a shaky breath. "Hi Harry," her soft voice said looking downwards like she thought it was a mistake. "Hi sweetie," I let out before I could stop, my hand clasped over my mouth, eyes wide in horror but her eyes showed a different emotion, happiness. Was she happy I called her sweetie? I didn't really have time to ask her as Selena called us inside for Truth or Dare. Smiling at her she acknowledged it and responded with a small smile.
