I sit in the waiting room for what seems like ages. Finally I see Niall's quaffed blond hair submerge from Harry's room door. Waving me over. I quickly get up and walk to him. I walk in to Harry's room and I feel a rush of cold air pass my face. "Why did you stop me Ashley!" Harry says anger filling his voice. I don't know what to say so I just stand there and look down to the ground. "Ashley, I don't want to stay!" He screams.

Muttering the same words I did to him two short years ago, when I was under the lock and key of modest management. Telling me I had to make him hate me or he would pay the price. Those five simple words hold so much hurt, and regret. "Ashley, come on lets give him some space." Niall says interrupting me from my thoughts. I nod in response. Still shocked by Harry's choice of words.

Does he remember? Is this a dream. What the hell is going on? Why is my life just crashing down on me? "You want to drive my car or Harry's car?" Niall questions pulling me out of my thoughts once again. "Can we go in yours please?" I say in more of a begging tone then I wanted. "Yeah, of course Love." Niall replies in a octave higher than his normal voice. "I will get Mark to get it tomorrow." I say while making a mental note to get Mark to do that for me.

Standing in front of the doors, I take a deep breath as if I'm about to jump in the deepest ocean.  "Ready?" Niall questions. I nod in response and we walk out of the glass sliding doors. Niall shades my eyes and tells paparazzi that we have no comment. We walk faster making our way to Niall's car. We get to Niall's car and he opens the door for me. I step in and try to calm down. Niall comes into the other side of the car. With in seconds we are driving away. I look out the window only to be swallowed by my thoughts.

*25 mins later*

I stand right outside of Harry's hotel room door. "Night Nialler." I say quietly. "Night." He says with a yon shortly after. He walks down to his hotel room right next to mine and unlocks it. I do the same and walk in, making my way to the bed. I lay down not bothering to change my clothes. The light rain sends me into a deep sleep

*Ashley's Dream*

I just gotten out of a One Direction concert, waiting in line to meet the boys. Around my neck was a meet and greet pass with Niall, Liam, Louis and my favorite Harry. Seeing I was next in line, my heart started to pound. After the other girl left. I stepped in front of them. First giving Harry a hug. "I'm Harry. What is your name Love." His thick British accent rang in my ears. "I'm Ashley." I said with confidence, and a warm smile.

"That's a beautiful name." He said moving in front of the other boys, trying to engage in more conversation with me. "Thank you." I said blushing and looking to the floor. "Your welcome." He said with a cheeky smile. I hugged the other boys. "Bye." I said with a soft smile. Harry moved in front of the other boys once again. "Bye!" He shouted over the other boys.

*20 mins later*

*Harry's POV*

Me and the lads drive down the black streets. I look to my left and, see Ashley from the meet and greet in Johnson's Bar. I pullover without a second thought. "What are you doing Harry!" Niall said from behind. "You know that girl from the meet and Greet Ashley?" I question looking him straight in the eye. "No..." He replies looking at me like I'm fucking crazy. "Well, I do."

I jump out of the car, and make my way to the bar. I swing open the door, and run to her side. Knowing I don't have much time before people start showing up. "Hey are you that cutie from the meet and greet Ashley?" I question even though I already know it is her. "Yeah, That's me." She blushes. She does that a lot. "Well, here is my number if you know, you wanted to call me sometime." I say nervously, rubbing the back of my neck. "Ok-Okay." She stutters, it's so cute. I have to have her. I have to. I turn around and walk away with my best Harry Styles walk.

The thunder roared outside. I shot up, and scream at the top of my lungs. Niall comes running through the door. "Ashley are you okay? What is going on!? He questioned, looking very concerned. "Do you remember the first time me and Harry met?" I replied with a question rather than a answer.

I start to cry to myself, remembering how happy I was, how happy he was.
"Yeah... At the meet and greet. Then he saw you in Johnson's Bar, then he said he couldn't let you go... Remember it like it was yesterday." He looks down to me. I allow a small tear to roll down my cheek. He kisses my forehead. "Niall? Do you think he really wishes I wouldn't have saved him?" I say looking down. Trying to hide my guilt from him. "No, he just needs some space Love." He says, pulling me into his lap. I barrow my face in his chest, and relax from his warm touch.

*The next morning*

*Ashley's POV*

I wake up in my bed. Looking down I see a body on top of me. Niall? It's Niall! I'm in a bed with Niall. This is wrong! What would Harry think! I try to get up without waking him. He moves a bit, and pulls me back to him. I hear a creek at the door. "Niall!" I whisper/shout trying to wake him up. "Niall!" I say a bit louder this time. Before I know it Harry is walking in the door. I try pushing at Niall's chest, to come from his grasp. Harry fully opens the door.

A look of anger and  disappointment comes across his face. He speed walks to the bed, stomping with every foot step. He pulls Niall off the bed and away from me. Niall notices the pressure on his shirt, and opens his eyes in surprise. "What are you doing!" Harry yells in his face. Niall pulls away from Harry's grip, and shoves him away. "Well I was here comforting Ashley, because someone wants to make her feel like shit, because she gave them another chonce at life when they fucked up!"

*Harry's POV*

So this little shit thinks he can come in my hotel room, sleep with my bird, and talk to me this way. Hell no! I walk towards Niall, cornering him in the wall. "Niall do you wanna go!?" I growl inches from his face. "Gladly" he says smirking. Okay, that really pisses me the fuck off. I punch Niall in the jaw full force. I watch as his mouth fills with blood, the blood smearing along his teeth. He kicks me in the groin. I don't even feel it and continue throwing punches.

"Come on you can do better than that." Niall says. Then all I can see is red. I throw punches full force in all directions. "Ahh! Harry why did you punch me?" I hear Ashley cry. I stop and suddenly I can see everything. I blink a few times. Looking down only to see a crying Ashley, holding her stomach. I reach for her. Grabbing her small waste. "Harry stop. Get off your hurting me." She cries in pain, wincing at every move she makes.

Did I really just do that? Hurt the one I love them most. The one I promised I would protect. "Harry you better get out of here or I swear." Niall grinds his bloody teeth together. Seeing how hurt Ashley is I do as he says. Turning to the wooden door, and walking out without another word.
