The Boy Next Door (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 13

CHAPTER 13

-Ashley's POV-

As we were watching the movie Niall would hog up all the popcorn but I was fine with that I thought it was adorable. He then pulled up the cup holder that was between us, he then moved closer to me closing the gap between us. He put an arm around my waist. "Is this okay?" He asked. I looked up at him and smiled. I liked this. I like the feeling of Niall holding me. I wasn't gonna lie I was starting to have feelings for him. Throughout half the movie he would lean down give me sweet kisses on top of my head. Then he looked down at me and I looked up to him and we just stared into each others eyes for about two minutes until he started leaning in more almost touching my lips I felt his hot breathe on by lips already as he started breathing a little bit uneasy. I gently closed my eyes and waited for it to happen. That's when he finally crashed his lips onto mine. He kissed me slow and passionate. He was careful. As he was kissing me he caressed my cheek with one hand and kept another on my waist. This felt right.

-Harry's POV-

I was broken. I made a mistake. And there was no way back. I messed everything up with Astrid and she hated me now. There was no way in the world Astrid would forgive me for this. She made me feel like shit but she had the right too. Hearing her say those words "No harry. Your a mistake" kept playing over and over in my mind as I sat there motionless crying in the dark. I couldn't believe this would end so suddenly and unexpectedly. I really did love Astrid I truly did but I ruined my opportunity with her.

-Astrid's POV-

I ran out of his apartment not caring if I left my stuff there. I ran until I reached my cousins car then drove off. Drove off to anywhere just far from Harry. I cried my eyes I wouldn't stop crying. I really had thought Harry was the one. I stopped driving until I reached a park. I parked then ran off to an open field filled with grass. It was now dark so I was surrounded with trees and stars as I sat in the middle of the field not carrying if anyone saw me cry. I thought Harry really meant what he said. But I guess he didnt. I wanted to forgive him but I couldnt. I really couldnt. I stared up at the sky laying down letting the tears roll down slowly one by one. I felt as if I was already running out of tears. I felt my phone vibrate against my leg, I ignored it. It vibrated once again and once again I ignored it. After 5 times it had vibrated I had enough and grew annoyed I pulled out my phone to see who was calling. Ashley.

"Hello?" I said sniffing. "Astrid? Where are you! We found Harry crying and he had told us he made a big mistake that he regretted. What does he mean by that? He told us you left about 2 hours ago! Please tell me where you are! I'm sick worried right now love. It's night and anything can happen to you please inform me where you are!" "I'm at a park and that's all you need to know." "Astrid what park? Please let me talk to you. I promise Niall will just drop me off And we can be alone. But right now you need to talk to someone." "I'm at the park 40 min away from their place. Please come alone."

-Ashley's POV-

After the movies we drove off to Harry's place since Niall had told me to spend the night with him. As we arrived to his place we walked up the stairs to hear sobbing coming from Harry's room. We walked to his door and Niall walked in. "Hey Harry what's wrong?" Niall asked worried finding a crying Harry on the floor in the dark. "Harry tell me what's wrong." "I made a mistake that I regret doing." He finally answered. Did he really cheat on Astrid? After he had informed us on what he did I thought yup Astrid made him feel like shit. I know my cousin and when it comes to cheating on her even once she will never go easy on you. But I felt bad seeing Harry this hurt. They were so happy and then they just seem so broken this didn't seem right. I had called Astrid about Harry. And I was now in Niall's car driving to where Astrid was. I was nervous the whole ride but I was thankful to have Niall's comfort there. He held my hand the whole way that's until we reached our destination. As we parked I let go and I ran out of the car in search for Astrid. Until I saw a girl laying down motionless on the ground looking up at the sky. I walked closer just to make sure it was Astrid. "Astrid?!" I finally shouted and embraced her into a hug as I realized it was her. She hugged back and cried once again. I hated seeing my cousin cry like this. "Harry told me." I finally spoke. She didn't say anything. "Astrid I know your hurt. But you know deep down inside you love him. And you know he loves you too. Yeah he made a mistake getting dunk and hooking up with some girl but hey who doesn't make mistakes? Astrid don't be so hard on him. Ryan hurt you more than anyone! He cheated on you 2x with your Bestfriend and what did you do you forgave him. Why? Because you loved him. Now that you love Harry the only time he made this mistake you won't forgive him for it? This is not the Astrid I know." "I do love him and I won't deny it. But I'm just tired of getting hurt. I don't think I can forgive Harry." "Why did you forgive Ryan then? Why won't you forgive Harry? Did Ryan cry for you? No! He did not cry for you like Harry did! It's up to you Astrid. I won't decide for you. Just to tell you though you'll be letting go a great guy. I'm staying at Harry's place. You can go to the flat if you want. But just make a wise decision." I felt bad leaving my cousin there crying her heart outs but she was being a brat. She was being hard on Harry. I mean yeah I didn't appreciate Harry cheating on her but knowing it was one drunken mistake and Ryan cheated on her not being drunk made me see both sides to this.

*2 Days Later*

-Astrid's POV-

I woke up and went for a shower. I toke a quick 10 min shower and did what I usually did for my showers. After I got out of my shower I went over to look for something to wear. After I chose what to wear I did my hair in loose curls I then quickly did some simple make-up. I then hurried to see it was 11 am in the morning. It's been 2 days since ice spoken to Harry or any of the boys or even my cousin. They gave me my space and I appreciated it I needed it. After finishing getting ready I hurried then drove off to my destination. As I parked I hurried to enter the auditorium. Infront of me was a huge white sign that clearly said 'X-FACTOR' yes I was still mad at Harry. But I had promised him I would be here for him and I always keep my promises. As I entered the auditorium I looked for my seat. As I made my way to it the judges had called the next contestants 'One Direction' I quickly looked up and saw the boys coming out one by one. It was Liam, Zayn, Louis, Niall, and finally Harry. They all stood there as each of them introduced theirselves. Harry seemed hurt and sleepless. I felt my eyes watery to see Harry this hurt. Yeah he had a smile on his face but you can also see it was his fake smile. I'm sorry Harry.

As they started singing I didn't keep my eyes off of Harry. They singed amazing and I was sure they would make it through no doubt they would. Once they finished singing everybody cheered. I stood up and clapped for them and cheered them on. With everyone started standing up and cheering them on I turned to look at Harry starring at me. He grew a smile and his eyes watery. I smiled back at him. After 2 min it was time for judges to decide.

One by one "yes" "it's a yes from me" "yes". Everyone cheered them on. They cleared the stage leaving it for the next contestants. I walked out of the auditorium and as I was heading out towards my cousins' car I hear a panting person. "Astrid." I knew that raspy voice perfectly. I looked up then turned around. Without thinking I ran up to Harry and he ran up to me, he picked me up and spun me around. At this moment I didn't care if I was mad at him I was just happy for him. He put me down then looked down at me. "Congratulations" I finally spoke. "Thank you for coming. You have no idea how much it means." "I do keep my promises and I promised you to support you for this. I'm so proud of you boys." He smiled down at me. "Astrid. Can we please talk?" "Harry what is there to talk about? What's done is done." "No Astrid you don't get it. Let me please just explain to you tha-" "Harry Styles the producers need you for this meeting in 2" a staff informed Harry. "Look Harry your finally starting your career something you've dreamed of. Maybe this thing we had was best to end anyways I won't be in your way of your career." I smiled at him but still having a tear or two fall down my cheek. "No Astrid you don't get it! Your not in my way and never will be. I want you to be a part of my life. What I did was a huge mistake and I recognize that but I regret it so much I just want you back in my life. I'm not the same without you. I'm sorry. I love you Astrid." "Harry they need you now." The staff member informed him once more. He looked at me with worry in his eyes. "Go ahead Harry. It's the beginning of your career. Beginning of your new life." I smiled at him. He stared at me then crashed his lips onto mines. He kissed me roughly yet careful. I kissed him back then pushed him a bit. "Harry they need you." "Look we'll talk later I promise." He said now jogging up to the person waiting for him. Can I really forgive harry? Was I really being to hard on him?
