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

Chapter 11

It was like a slap to the face. Correction- it was worse than being slapped. Harry's words to me tonight had stung more than anything had ever stung before. How could he honestly think that way all this time?

These thoughts kept running through my mind as I lay in bed at 4:00 am, completely oblivious to any form of sleep. After the words had left his mouth, the room went silent for what felt like ages, until Liam intervened and started small talk in hopes of easing out of the awkwardness. The minute I was done my dinner, I made enough excuses to last a year in order to get out of that place and go home. In the end, I got to finally leave and ended up walking home so that I could clear my head.

What if Harry didn't even actually feel that way and was making it out that way so that he was the victim. Why was I beating myself up over this? I didn't even love him anymore! Right?

I turned over on the bed, trying to make myself comfortable, hoping to get some sleep, but it was obvious sleep was out of the question tonight. I got out of bed and walked to my kitchen and started on a pot of coffee. I looked down on my phone and decided to send Jacob an early text that he would get to see as soon as he woke up.

You: Hey you, up late tonight so I decided to text you. Hope you have a good morning :)

I hit send and put my phone down on the kitchen island but not one second later my phone vibrated, indicating I had gotten a text message.

Jacob: Hey D! What's got you up?

You: Not much, just insomnia I guess. Overthinking. How about you Mister? Why are you up this time of the day?

Jacob: Thinking about you.

Upon reading those three words, I felt my heart swell up in my chest and I let out a little squeal of joy. How could three little words make my heart go crazy like that?

You: I can't wait to see you

Jacob: Friday, 8:00 P.M.

You: It's a date.

"Have I ever mentioned, I hate working here?" I asked May as I filled coffee to the top of her mug and handed it to her. She was seated across the island at Starbucks, while I used a dirty dishcloth to wipe down the worker area.

"Several thousand times now." May replied, laughing. She pulled out her chemistry textbook along with a yellow highlighter and began her studying process which basically consisted of her highlighting everything in the textbook, and it automatically being transferred into her brain's memory. May had some sort of photographic memory when it came to studying. Not to say she wasn't hardworking, because she was one of the most hardworking people I had ever met, but at the same time, she had her gifts.

"Daina!" I heard a squeak from way behind and turned to see Shania, a classmate from Sociology and a regular Starbucks customer, walk through the door.

"Hey Shan! How's it going?"

"How's it going? GREAT! Did you hear?"

"Hear what?" I raised my eyebrows at her excitement.

"That One Direction is in town!" She said squealing as she pressed her hands to her chest and started jumping up and down.

"Oh, yeah... that I heard." I said slowly and turned to look at May who was trying to hide her laughter behind her coffee cup. I hadn't told Shania about my connection to the band but had once accidently, during my first week of college, agreed with her that they were a good band. After that... 'OMG my friend Daina and I are like HUGE 1D fans!'

"Yeee! And apparently they're staying! Like for a while."

"They are?" This was news to me.

"uh huh, they're like working on all these charity projects and stuff." She replied. I nodded at her response and turned back towards my side of the counter. Makes sense that they would spend a while in New York, considering there were so many projects you could join and be part of here. As I turned around, I looked up and my eyes connected with ones that usually looked so familiar but had a distant look to them right this minute.

"You didn't mention anything about One Direction being in town?" Jacob asked me, raising his eyebrows.

"Oh em gee, you're a 1D fan too?" I heard Shania ask from behind and I slammed my palm to my forehead and rolled my eyes.

"No but I sure am interested in this story." Jacob replied, turning his icy stare to me. I could understand why he was upset that I hadn't mentioned them to him considering I had a history with them and he was close to me but what I didn't get was why he would be jealous when he knew Harry and I had been done for years.

"Um yeah, it completely slipped my mind that the boys are in town... because you know... it's not really a big deal or anything." I started.

"Right. It's totally not a big deal." Jake said and turned on his heel to walk away but I grabbed his arm before he could get too far.

"No Jake, listen." I started to speak but couldn't think of anything to say.

"I'm listening Daina... I'm waiting for you to explain why you kept the return of the love of your life a secret from me."

"Harry is not the love of my life Jacob, you know that. Come on, I don't feel anything for Harry anymore. I... I have... I have feelings for you now. Isn't it obvious?" I stuttered out. Jacob's eyes widened a bit before a million dollar smile took over his face. He put his hand in mine, before pulling it towards his lips and giving it a small kiss.

"I know... I'm sorry." He whispered. I squeezed his hand and gave him a small smile.

"Now come on, let me buy you a drink." I winked. He laughed and we turned around and started to walk back to the counter, still holding hands. Once we got to the scene, we split ways and I went to my side of the counter and he went to his. I once again took hold of my dirty dishcloth and was about to begin finishing the cleaning when someone interrupted me by clearing their throat. It was May who upon making eye contact with me, gestured with her eyes towards the door. I turned my head slowly to be met with 4 very intense gazes. Of course...

Louis, Niall, Liam and Harry.
