Day 786: The feeling I got seeing her eyes dart from me, to Cassidy, back to me, made my stomach drop. Seeing her eyes fill with tears. Knowing I'd caused the pain rushing through her heart.

"Ash. Its..."

"It's what Harry? Not what it looks like? Oh, c'mon! I know you've got a better one up your sleeve than that! I mean, you should be so used to this by now! Here, go ahead! Give it another shot sweetheart. Go on!"

"Ashleigh.. Please. Just come talk to me."

Her eyes widened in disbelief, as if I'd just asked her to do a striptease for 500 people. I saw her shift her jaw, like she does when she's trying to process something. Then it hits me. This could really be the end. 2 years I'd spent with this girl. The first girl I've ever loved. Then I picture her months from now with someone else. Happy. Without me.

"I promise I can explain. Just give me the chance to. I... I can't do this without you."

Her face softened a bit.

"She needs to leave", she says, eyes darting towards Cassidy. Cassidy lets herself out, cheeks flushing with shame.

"You've got ten minutes Styles. Don't waste them."

••I know this chapter was super short, but hang in there!! It was meant to start as a intro. The entire story is going to be kinda the prequel to this "event" on day 786. I hope you all will enjoy it!!••
