Harry's POV

•••

Evie and I have been at dinner about ten minutes and I'm already exhausted. She's a sweet girl and all, but she never shuts up. To make matters worse, she's incredibly nosey. I'm surprised she hasn't gone as far as asking what boxers I'm wearing.

"So you really love her huh?" She asked.

"Who?"

"Jenna...?"

"Oh um..right. Yeah, I guess."

"You guess? Harry is something wrong? You seem upset.." She honestly didn't sound concerned at all. She almost sounded excited. I didn't want to tell her mine and Jenna's business. I was thankful when she pulled out her phone, buying me time to think of an answer.

She had been pulling her phone out quite a lot actually. Normally it would bug me, like if Jenna did it, but I didn't really want to be at dinner with Evie. I only did it out of spite. And boy do I regret it. She's quite obnoxious.

"Who've you been texting? You seem quite distracted." I asked trying to spark a conversation.

"Oh no one. A poor excuse for a person if I'm being honest."

"They must've done something very bad to you." I just want to leave.

"I guess you could say that."

"Maybe you shouldn't bother with them then? If they've upset you, you shouldn't waste your time..."

"Is that what you're doing with Jenna?" I looked at her confused. "Wasting your time?"

"Excuse me? Jenna is not a waste of anything. And you know what? Coming here was a big mistake. Heres some money for the check. Have a nice evening, Evelyn."

Jenna's POV

•••

Harry's been gone for maybe 20 minutes, and I've already received countless texts from Evie talking about how 'incredible' he is. It's never gonna end.

I can't stop crying. She's getting everything she wants. Everything that's mine. Harry's all I ever wanted. I remember the first video I watched about the boys, his cute laugh reeling me in from the beginning. I always hoped I'd meet him, but I honestly didn't expect things to happen how they did. It's been a dream...and I don't think I'm ready to wake up.

*incoming text*

From: Evie

You're a waste of Harry's time. He said so himself. How does it feel to be useless, Jenna?

I wanted to scream. I didn't know what to believe anymore. I know Harry's mad at me.... But I don't think he'd go that far. He's never been the kind to be spiteful.

I need a shower.

•••

"Jenna?" I had just stepped out of the shower when I heard Harry's voice. "Hello? Please tell me you didn't leave."

"I'm in the bathroom, Harry." I examined my face, hoping there was no sign of distress or tears.

Back to acting.

"Baby I'm so sorry." He said coming into the bathroom.

"For what, Harry." I tried my best to sound cold.

"For leaving with her...it was miserable. I was trying to prove a point. I shouldn't have."

"You can do whatever you want, dude. It's your life."

"Stop that!" He yelled, on the verge of tears.

"Stop what?"

"Stop being so passive and rude to me! I've done nothing to you, yet you keep hurting me. Why? Is it because of the whole 'trying to send you home' thing? Because I said I was sorry. And, making out with my best mate isn't really a good way to get back at me. I would never do that to you." He croaked.

I don't know how much longer I can take this. "I'm sorry."

He looked up to me, tears rolling down his cheeks. "Sorry for what, Jenna? For hurting me? For being cold? For kissing Zayn? What part are you sorry for."

"I'm sorry that I can't be with you anymore. Now get out of the bathroom." I sounded strong, but the second that door closed I fell to the floor and prepared to drown myself in my own tears. We're over. It's all over. My fairytale life was just like all the others...a dream. And it's time to wake up.

"Jenna can I have a word?" Harry sounded a bit angry now...

"N-" I cleared my throat. "No, Harry."

Despite my request, the door swung open, an upset Harry waving my phone.

"Would you like to explain these texts from Evie?"

Authors Note:

This one was a bit shorter. Sorry it took me a couple days to update! I was on vacation. And I know some of you don't like the Evie twist, but uh THAT SUCKS. I thought about this for a long time, and I'm sticking with it. If it bothers you then don't read. For those of you who like my fanfic, thank you. I love you
