Fallen For Harry Styles

Chapter 19

Hey guys! :) So this chapter Mia talks about her ex Jake who I pictured to be Chris Zylka from The Secret Circle, and I realize it's late but I pictured Mia to be Diane Guerrero from Orange is the New Black. Enjoy!

Mia's POV

After Harry and I had hung up I look over at Jaz who has her hands up in the air, "Well what did he say?"

"You were just listening."

"No, the text he just sent you."

I laugh at her, "He just said he misses me. That's all."

"Mhmm." She's grinning at me.

"What?" I smile.

"Nothing."

My eyes open slowly as I notice that Jaz and I had fallen asleep on the couch last night. I look to see what time it is, it's only 7am. I let her sleep as I go upstairs to take a shower. It's the weekend and I really want to get out of the house for awhile. Well my moms at the beach for a week, maybe Jaz and I will go to the beach for the weekend. My mom and dad bought a beach house a couple years before he passed. Every chance we had we would go there and just have a ball as a family. I miss him.

I step out the shower to dry myself off. I don't even bother blow drying my hair I just wrap it up into a messy bun. I walk into my room towards the dresser and put on a plain black bikini along with a pair of jean shorts and a white tank top. I grab a small bag from my closet and pick out a couple more bikinis and some extra clothes to wear while we're down there. It's now 8. I should probably wake up Jaz if we want to beat the traffic. I grab whatever else I think I may need and head downstairs.

She's so cute when she sleeps but man she can snore. I whisper in her ear, "Jaz wake up." Nothing. "Jaaazzz wake up."

"I don't want to, I'm tired." She groans.

"I know but it's the weekend and I was thinking we should stay at the beach house."

"What time is it?"

"8. I wanted to leave early to beat traffic."

"Ok. Let me get a quick shower and what not then we'll go."

She heads upstairs to shower. I turn on the tv and watch whatever is on. I check my phone for any messages from Harry. Nothing. Twenty minutes later I hear Jaz coming down the stairs.

"I'm ready. Are we going to eat before we leave or just get something on the way there? I'm starving."

"Yeah I'm hungry too. I guess we fell asleep without eating dinner. Um...I guess we can stop somewhere on the way. Anywhere specific?"

"No not really, I just want food."

I laugh at her, "Ok well let's get going." I grab my keys, phone and my bag and walk out the front door to the car. We put our stuff in the trunk and get in the car.

"Ready?" I ask Jaz.

"Ready as I'll ever be." She smiles.

An hour into the drive, one hour to go. "So where do you want to eat?" I quickly glance over at Jaz.

"Doesn't really matter. We can go cheap and hit up McDonald's?"

"That's fine. I could go for a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit."

I pull in to the drive thru and order our food. I find a parking spot and we eat in the car. "So you getting excited?"

"For what?"

"To see Harry in a couple months."

I smile, "Alittle."

"Oh come on Mia!"

"What?"

"You know what." She teases.

"Ok fine yes. Of course I'm excited to see him." I feel my cheeks turn red.

"I knew it." She wiggles her brows.

"Hahaha shut up Jaz." We head back onto the road and towards the beach house.

WELCOME TO OCEAN CITY, MD

"Thank god we're almost there. My butt is numb. And I have to pee."

I crack up at her, "We'll be there in about fifteen minutes Jaz. It's so gorgeous out. I'm glad we decided to come out here. I been cooped up in that house for too long."

"Yeah you do need to get out more. You used to go out all the time but now the only thing you've done this year and the year before that was go to a concert with me and now the beach."

I sigh, "I know. It's just.....ever since...."

"I know Mia. You don't have to explain."

She is right though. I can't let the disappointing memory of my ex boyfriend Jake keep me from having any fun. Jake and I met in our junior year of college. He was really sweet. My friends were his friends and his friends were my friends so naturally we grew pretty close. We hung out together every chance we had whether it was to the movies or bowling or just staying in to watch movies and eat popcorn. Half way into our junior year he asked me out. We dated for three years. Things were great between us or so I thought.

Flashback

One night I had gotten a call from one of Jakes buddies saying that he was completely wasted and couldn't drive home.

I got in my car and drove for about thirty minutes until I arrived at the address his buddy had given me. There were drunk people everywhere. Some passed out in the lawn, porch, you name it they were there. I was hesitant to go in.

I walked in the front door and some drunk guy handed me a red cup with beer in it. I tried to decline but he insisted. I found a random girl who clearly was close to passing out and handed her my cup. She took it from me and downed it in a couple gulps.

"Can you tell me where Jake is?" I asked the drunk girl.

"Who is fake?"

She wasnt any help, "Nevermind."

I walked around to try and find someone who was still conscious, "Excuse me but can you please tell me where Jake is?"

"Yeah, I think I just seen him go upstairs."

I headed upstairs. I couldn't find him anywhere. He wasn't in the bathroom, I checked all the rooms except one that was way down the other end of the hall. I thought I heard talking or something. I opened the door and flipped the light switch on and what I saw was a blonde headed girl lying on the bed and Jake on top of her. They were having sex. I couldn't believe it. I was frozen in place. My mind was telling me to run but my feet just wouldnt budge. How could he do that to me. I've never done anything to him. I cared about him. I cared about him so much that.......that I loved him, well did. He was the first guy that I ever loved. You want to know what's even more fucked up? The blonde he was with.....was one of my best friends. I ran out of that house as quickly as I could balling my eyes out. I heard Jake yelling for me but I ignored him. I took off and never looked back.

-----------------------

I was a virgin, still am, when I dated Jake. I wasn't ready and when I was I wanted it to be special. I guess me caring about him and doing anything for him just wasn't good enough. I'm glad I waited, it would've been the biggest regret of my life. Ive been single for the last two years. I was afraid to fall in love again because I couldn't bare another heartache like that.

That's why I was so annoyed with my mom and Jaz about "You and Harry are meant to be". I don't believe in the love at first sight thing. I thought it was like that with Jake but I was clearly wrong.
