I woke up due to the door bell. Harry grinned on seeing me still in the dress he had gifted me.

"Seems you love this dress" he remarked.

"Oh I do! And the person who gave it too!"

"Really?" his face lightened up on my statement.

"No" I teased.

"You just can't like me right? Not even if I get you the world" he solemenly spoke.

"Its not like that" I protested.

"Then what is it like?" he was clearly upset now.

"You're a kid"

"I'm 17"

"Not even legal.....and besides I like someone else. It was him. It always has been him. This friendship we have I don't wanna lose it Harry. I...."

"I don't understand you! You never take off my watch, you love this dress and yes I've seen you look at me. Please don't tell me it's nothing!" he cringed.

"I'm afraid it isn't" I spoke quietly.

He squeezed his eyes shut and then looked at the ground. Then he left without a word shutting himself in his room.

The news was soon out with the boys and me trying to get him out but no reply. I was almost in tears but Louis hugged me. "I'm so sorry! I didn't know he was so serious" I sobbed.

"Shh....it's ok! He'll be fine....just give him a little time" The others were supportive.

This trip was coming to a disastrous end. My flight was to leave tomorrow and I had miserably broken Harry's heart. He would never forgive me. I knew. I somehow just knew.

A week gone it was time to go home. My flight was to leave at 2 in the noon but I hadn't slept. Me and Louis were up all night talking, playing board games, cooking. My on the face rejection had affected Harry immensely and he had shut himself up all day. He wasn't talking to anyone and his dimples seemed long lost. And even though I was feeling really bad about him I was unable to do  anything for him. I really hadn't realised that he wa serious. Seeing my discomfort Louis had explained that he would be fine, hence the games and cooking. We invited him too but he said he wa tired and wanted to sleep.

"Still upset" I gestured to Louis.

"He'll be fine" Louis smiled taking me to his bedroom. I obliged but I was still feeling guilty.

"One thing I can't understand is why didn't you say yes to him? He could have any girl in the world so why are you playing so hard to get?" Louis asked rolling the dice.

"Cause I don't want him! Duh!"

"Oh! That changes a lot of things!"

"Exactly!" I retorted in a matter of fact tone.

We carried on with the game when Louis asked "Soo....who do you want?"

"You!" my brain, heart, body wanted to say. My mouth on the other hand uttered, "Someone"

"Do I know him?"

"It doesn't matter Louis, I win!" I cut him off.

"You cheated!" he whined.

I had succeded in distracting him. "You are a loser! Louis can't win!" I teased.

"I'll tell you who is a loser Aanya Katherine Olsen!" he started behind me. I ran out of the room as he chased me. We were laughing and teasing when Harry came out. "Can I atleast sleep in peace please?" We stopped laughing and looked at each other.
