Over Again [Harry Styles FanFiction] (Sequel to Everything Has Changed)

Chapter 10

Instantly, I felt my cheeks heat up and I squeezed my eyes shut at the embarassment. I couldnt believe I had actually said that out loud, in front of everyone, to Harry Styles.

I was out of nowhere yanked up from my arms and I felt pain shoot through my knee at the force being put on it when I stood.

"D, are you okay?" Louis repeated his question. I finally pulled my gaze away from the "accident" scene and brought myself to look at Louis.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine. Thanks."

"Let's go eat, shall we..." He said as he grabbed me by my elbow and pulled me out behind him. As we walked out, I turned to look behind me and saw Harry now sitting up on the floor, propped by one arm, staring at us. Our eyes connected and for an instant it felt as if things were back to the way they used to be. As if he had never started hating me.

Thinking this way made not only my heart but also my head hurt. I couldn't get myself to understand whether I was supposed to hate Harry, or miss him, or love him, or all of the above.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Louis asked when we were out of the living room, causing my attention to snap back to him.

"Yeah, don't worry about me.. I'm over it." I replied. Louis nodded and turned back around to continue towards the rest of the boys. I wish I could believe those words as easily as Louis did but I knew... I was so not over Harry Styles.

"So what do you and May do when you hang out?" Niall asked as he scooped a spoonful of sauce from his plate and unattractively shoved it into his mouth.

"I dont know... normal things? We go to the mall, watch movies, go on drives, study together... we have a lot of sleepovers too!" I replied.

"Sleepovers? What might I ask do you do during these 'sleepovers'?" He looked up and wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"Hmm well Niall... they for sure include loads of sexy girl pillow fights." The boys burst out laughing and I looked back down at my food. "Nah. Most of the time, we're with Jake so we all end up going on drives to far away places and spend nights walking around random areas."

"Jake?" Louis looked at me with a confused look in his eyes.

"Jacob... the other friend I told you all about."

"You didn't mention a Jacob?" Liam replied. Had I really not told them about Jake?

"Well there's actually three of us. Me, May and Jacob." I started. "Jacob... he's..." I tried continuing but I instantly thought of our upcoming date and began turning as red as our pasta sauce.

"Oooh..." Liam, Louis and Niall said in unison. I blushed even harder and turned away from them to look in the other direction. Upon turning, my eyes connected with Harry's and my smile quickly dropped.

Unlike the other boys, Harry did not look amused. Instead, he actually looked pissed.

"Makes sense." All of a sudden, the room went dead silent as Harry opened his mouth and spoke.

"What?" I asked in confusion. I turned to look at Louis who looked just as lost as I was as to what Harry was going to talk about.

"Well, it's obvious you find someone to 'have fun' with wherever you seem to go." He shrugged.

"Are you calling me a slut?" I asked, raising my eyebrows and leaning forward in my seat.

"Hey, I didn't say it... you came to that conclusion yourself."

"Excuse me..." I was dumbfounded. Did he actually just... I looked around the dining table at all the boys. These were the boys who I had been convincing myself cared for me, yet, none of them stood up for me.

"I'm not the one who uses women whenever they want and then throw them away the second they get bored."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Harry put his elbows up on the table and leaned forward, narrowing his eyes and looking at me expectantly.

I looked around the table once more before beginning. "Oooh Daina, I love you. You mean so much to me... and then the next minute, when I decide to start my life again, I don't hear a single thing from you... ever."

"Wow"

"Yeah that's the thought that came to my mind when I found out about the lies you were telling OUR friends about me dumping your ass."

"You want to know why I didn't speak to you after that Daina?"

"Yes Mr. Styles. I would very much like to know why I was forced to go through that alone... without the boy I loved" At this point, I realized the two of us were screaming at each other.

For a second the room went silent. Had I really just told Harry that I'd loved him... it was the first time I had said it out loud. And the next second, he spoke... barely above a whisper, he said...

"I did that because I thought you didn't want me. You told us you were moving worlds away. You were starting your new life far away... without me."
