Little Miss Curly [On Hold]

Chapter 12: Accidents Happen

Harry's POV

Christmas was supposed to be a time for joy and happiness. A time where you have fun with family and friends while waiting for the clock to strike twelve and the beauty of Christmas to be released. Instead of rejoicing and being happy, I sit here in my room thinking about what Ariana had said. He's my boyfriend was what she said, but what came through my head was different. The words haunting me and running through my head was 'You've been replaced.'

Those words stung in my head. It was like they were etched into my brain and never made me forget what I did to her. I left her and she replaced me. I've been through hell being separated from her, thinking I'd be with her when I came back was what got me through everything. When I got back, I thought I'd finally have the nerve to come up to her and confess my true feelings. But how could I do that now? Now that she had Alex, I was nothing to her. I wasn't her best friend anymore, but simply a distant memory from the past.

And Alex, I thought I could trust him. I trusted him to keep an eye on her while I was gone. Make sure she wasn't getting teased, make sure she was always happy, but instead he fell in love with her and made her his.

Ariana's POV

I was sitting by the window cuddling Drew (A/N: just in case you forgot, Drew is her teddy bear XD). I was thinking about Harry and the look on his face when I told him Alex was my boyfriend. He looked so hurt. Even though he hurt me, he still was my best friend.

But he hurt you Ariana. He doesn't care for you anymore.

But he looked so sad..

He replaced you, Ariana. When are you going to let that sink in!

I was arguing with myself. Am I mental? Oh Harry, what have you done to me?

Just then, I received a text. It was from Harry. I was contemplating whether or not I should open the text, in the end I decided I should. It wouldn't hurt right?

'Hey, can we talk? -H'

I don't know why, but at that moment, I just snapped. I threw my phone at the wall and just broke down.

I wasn't sure if I was imagining things or if Max was here, because I was pretty sure I heard a voice with an American accent say, "Everything alright?"

I looked up and saw the only person I knew who had that accent in this household. I stood up and went in for a hug.

"Max! You're back! When did you arrive?" I said, hurriedly wiping away my tears.

He chuckled and said, "It's good to see you too, Ariana. But I'd like to know why my baby girl was just crying."

I punched his arm playfully, "Hey, I'm not a baby anymore," Then my expression changed, "and anyway, it's a long story."

He looked at his watch and said, "I got time."

"Yeah, but.."

"Wanna talk about it at our favorite 24 hours ice-cream parlor downtown?"

I wasn't able to answer him because I was already being dragged to my brother's car.

"Hey, since when did you have Luke's car keys?"

"Since he gave it to me when I came. He said I could use it anytime I needed to go anywhere or whatever," he said with a shrug.

I got in my brothers car and waited for Max to get in the driver's seat. We buckled up and he started driving.

Harry's POV

It was thirty minutes till' midnight and I was downstairs with the family. I sat on the couch in the living room, cake in hand. I was watching my family play charades when I heard a car engine nearing our house. I looked out the window to see Ariana in the passenger seat with a guy who looked about a few years older than she was. Where would Ariana be going at this time of night? I pondered on the thought and decided to follow them. I grabbed Gemma's keys and took off. 

I know having a student license means you could drive, but only with adult supervision. But this was something important to me that my family might think otherwise. Anyway, I'd be careful and plus no cop would be around this late.

----------

They stopped at an ice-cream parlor. Crazy Freeze to be exact. I decided to stay in the car because if I went in, Ariana would see me and it'd probably be awkward. It was a good thing they sat in a booth by the glass window, so I could see them much more easily. They seemed to be having a conversation that Ariana started and the guy would nod his head at some points. Then, the conversation got deeper and Ariana used her hands more and eventually started crying. The guy moved over to her and said some stuff, while patting her back. She wiped her tears and they got out of the booth. I was too busy watching them that I didn't even realize it was raining. 

Their car took off and I followed.

Ariana's POV

After my talk with Max, I felt at least a tad better that someone understands me and can guide me through my situation. I told Max about the Harry and Alex situation, Caroline Flack, my revenge, basically everything that happened in the past few months. I told him I was mad at Harry, but still liked him and I told him that the love I felt for Alex was different from the love I felt for Harry. He told me that I should talk to both of them about the situation and that I should break it off with Alex and make him understand everything.

I tried to forget about all my problems and just have fun with Max. We blasted the music and sang at the top of our lungs. We were having way too much fun that we didn't see the sharp curve ahead.

Max trying to turn the car. The truck coming at us. The car sliding on the road because of the rain. It all happened too fast that it all became blur to me. The collision of events was too much that it all became slow motion. The truck hit our car. Hard. A warm liquid substance was oozing from my forehead down my face. I was feeling worn out and queasy.

"Ariana!" a familiar voice exclaimed from behind us, though it sounded distant, as if the voice was coming from one side of the tunnel and I was on the other end.

That was the last thing I heard before the darkness engulfed me.
