"Just one chance" He whispered, leaning towards me, his hot breath fanning across my face right before his soft lips pressed against mine

My heart clenched painfully in my chest as he hugged me closer towards his body, trying to get me to respond but- I didn't

I was tired of being mistreated. All my life, if been thrown around, got orders telling me how my life should be and what I should do

"Harry get off me" I breathed, tears stinging my eyes as he moved only two inches, slowly shaking his head. He removed his right hand from my waist, bringing it up to catch the falling tears

"Delaney, I don't what to do. I don't know how to show you how much you mean to me but I'll do anything- just please give me a chance and fuck...I'm begging right now and I don't even care" No matter how much I wanted to turn around and leave him- I just couldn't. My eyes slowly trailed up to meet his, the sincerity and eyes filled with nothing but sorrow surprising me

"Would you treat me right...would you care for me? Would you be honest with me? Do you honestly think that you won't hurt me?" I shakily let out, his face contorted to confusion before he slowly nodded

"I promise, baby. We can just start over and take things slow...however you want but I just can't lose you"

"I want to see you try before we do anything. You have one chance Harry...but I want to take things slow. I'll give you a chance only if...you promise to be loyal" I swallowed down the growing lump in my throat. Maybe it was stupid to be giving him another chance but I couldn't help the pain and emptiness I felt without him. It didn't matter if it was ridiculous but he made me happy and knowing he could be someone else's killed me inside

"I promise" He gave me a cute grin, dimples widely visible as he connected his plump lips with mine once again and this time- I couldn't help but to smile

The music rang through my ears as I looked at all the decorations that were hanging and scattered in the house

This years New Years party was held at our house. I wander up for the partying since it wasn't my scene but I practically got no say in it

"Delaney, are you ready? People are going to start coming in at any moment" Mother frantically spoke, running a hand through her straightened hair, her phone in her other hand

I turned my head towards her, my eyes widening at her long ruby red dress that hugged her body. I was always envious of my mother, no matter how she treated me, she was gorgeous

I pursed my lips and nodded my head when she looked up. Her eyes scanned me up and down before she pressed her lips into a thin line

"Maybe we should start healthy. A diet won't hurt us" She mumbled, eyebrows furrowed as her eyes were glued to the black lace dress that clung to my body

My mouth parted just the slightest, crossing my arms over my chest and looking down suddenly self conscious. I knew I didn't have the flattest stomach or the skinniest thighs but it still stung to hear my own mother say that

"Yeah it wouldn't. By the way, nice tan mum...orange is my new favorite color" Before she could reply with another snide comment, I slipped from the living room and towards the door where the bell had managed to save me

When I pulled the door open, Niall was standing there with a small grin on his face

"Who missed Niall?" He smirked, swatting me away and walking inside as if he owned the place. His eyes widened when he actually stepped more than two feet inside, jaw dropping as he looked around my house, body twirling around in circles
