Harry's POV

As soon as Emily and I left the emergency room, I explained to her that I would be going along with her to her home and that Jade had called me. Strangely enough, Emily told me that it was a bad idea. She stated that she had a bad feeling about the whole thing.

I looked at her for a moment as we drove past the small park down the road from her home. "Why do you believe that something bad will happen?"

"Because Dylan is very territorial over Juliet. He really adores her, so I have a feeling that he will be there."

"Could you possibly go and see if he is there when we arrive?"

"Of course."

I smiled at Emily momentarily before continuing to drive her car down towards her home. "You may want to have a cigarette handy, y'know how stressful it is to deal with Juliet sometimes."

"You wouldn't happen to have an extra one on hand, would you?"

"I do." She said as she reached her right hand into her right pocket and brought out her pack of Marlboro's. "Here." She said as she removed a cigarette from the pack and extended her right hand out.

With my right hand, I retrieved the single cigarette and placed it behind my right ear. "We're here." I said as we pulled into the driveway of her and Jade's home.

"I'll run inside and see if Dylan is there." Emily said as she opened the passenger's side door. I watched as she got out of the vehicle and ran up the driveway and into the house. Once she was securely inside of the house, I shut off the car and sighed.

I wanted to talk things out with Jade but I knew that Jade wouldn't be understanding of why I cheated. No person would understand besides Jamie and I. I just wish that it didn't happen.

Minutes later, Emily opened the front door and yelled for me to come inside. I smiled momentarily at the fact that Dylan wasn't at their home. I got out of the vehicle and walked up the drive way to the front door. I handed Emily her car keys and walked inside.

As soon as I stepped in, I spotted Jade sitting upon the couch in the living room. She looked up at me with her big blue eyes for a second before standing up and walking over to me. "Thank you for coming." She said as she kissed my left cheek. Her action took me by surprise so I didn't not repeat her action. She looked at me yet again for a second and then said, "C'mon, let's go sit down."

I nodded my head and followed Jade to the couch. I looked at Emily as she walked towards the kitchen and mouthed, "Help." Emily giggled lightly and walked into the kitchen.

"I think it's time that we talked this all out, yeah?" Jade said.

"Yeah, I think it is."

"I know that I have been nasty towards you and I can't fix that but I do want to get everything out in the open."

"I do, too."

"Why did you cheat? That is the biggest question here."

I looked down at my hands and exhaled, "It wasn't because you weren't good enough, I know that is what is really bothering you. You were good enough for me, you're more than good enough for me. You're actually too good for me, in my opinion."

"Stop the sweet stuff, please. I really want us to get this out into the open."

"Okay." I sighed yet again. "I'm not really sure of what made me do what I did. I think it's because I felt bad for Jamie. Earlier that night whilst you and Emily slept, I saw a man enter the house that I had never seen before. So I decided to see whom it was, Jamie told me his name later that night. Anyway, I walked towards the back of the house and saw her on her knees giving him, well, y'know. Jamie saw me and made the man leave the house. Minutes later, Jamie asked to speak with me."

"Okay, I didn't know about her being in the house with another man, go on." Jade interrupted me.

"Jamie begun to cry and there was such sadness in her eyes that I could barley handle. She looked at me and asked me in a whisper, to please have sex with her. That it's been so long since she had been able to have sex. That she was so alone. Liam no longer wanted to touch her, and the affair was killing her on the inside. I told her no at the beginning so she dropped the conversation for a little bit."

"That doesn't sound like something that Jamie would say." I heard a manly voice say from inside Jade's bedroom.

"Who is here?"

"Liam is, he's listening. He isn't going to hurt you. Go ahead and finish."

"Well, about ten minutes later, Jamie walked into the bedroom with a three shots of vodka. I didn't know what was happening so I just took the shots, y'know, I had been stressed. Jamie had put something in the shot and well, things happened. I kept telling myself that it was by my own will for what I had done but in all honesty, I truly believe that she did put something in the shots."

"Are you being honest with me?"

"A hundred percent honest."

"That's a lot to take in."

"I know it is." I replied. Jade and I sat upon the couch for a few minutes and listened as Emily cooked in the kitchen. Quickly the scent of taco seasoning filled the house and I could hear my stomach growling, I hadn't ate that day.

"Can you forgive me?" I asked her.

"I mean, I can but you have to promise me that you weren't in the right mind, that you didn't do it by your own free will."

"I believe that I didn't do it by my own free will."

"Okay, I believe you but I still have to take time to wrap my head around all of this."

"Okay, I think it's time for me to get going though, yeah?" I said as I stood up from the couch.

"Don't leave yet, please." Jade said as she grabbed ahold of my left arm. "I need to talk to you about a few things."

"Okay." I replied as I sat back down upon the couch.

"I really do adore Dylan, he treats me very well. But I want to ask you a few things."

"Like?"

"If something happens, can we try again?"

"What do you mean?"

"You and I try again. Try this relationship out again."

I looked at her and felt heat rising in my cheeks. "Jade, I am always your rebound guy. Every time something happens, I am the one that you run to." I said as tears formed in my eyes. "I love you, I love you so very much but I can't be the second choice."

A/N: So now the ball has been dropped in both courts. Who is surprised over Harry's confession?

For those whom were wondering, my biopsy results came back clear. I am cancer free! I have never been so happy! <3
