I sat alone in the park. I was still registering the fact that he dumped me. Jason just dumped me. Why? I do not know. He probably found someone else, someone better.

It finally hit me. Jason actually dumped me. It really did happen. This is real. I started tearing up. The realization was overwhelming and heart-breaking at the same time.

I always knew that if we didn't work out, he would be the one to break it off. He tended to do that to girls. But, somehow, I believed him when he said he would love me forever and would never do that to me.

I sat on the park bench, tears starting to trickle down my cheeks. My hands grasped the bench as the world turned blurry.

As I sat there, reminiscing the past year and a half, someone sat next to me. My face was hidden in my hands, so I didn't know who it was. I honestly didn't care.

But, he put his hand on my shoulder and asked me in a British accent, "Hey, are you alright?"

I just rolled my eyes behind my hands because the last thing I wanted in that moment was to be bothered by a stranger. I will admit, his accent was kind of hot. Then, I realized that his voice somehow sounded familiar. I slyly looked through my fingers at who was talking to me, and I realized that the person who was speaking to me happened to be a very special person. I wondered why he was in Arizona, but I was too occupied to ask.

My hands dropped from my face, along with my jaw, and I couldn't speak. This action exposed my face, as well as the inside of my mouth. But, I didn't care that I looked like a train wreck. I WAS STARING INTO THE EYES OF HARRY STYLES!!

It was extraordiHARRY. Yeah, I was a huge Directioner...

My brain caught up with my face, and I was suddenly aware of the situation. I became extremely embarrassed, and my cheeks burned red, contrasting from my pale skin. I looked away while I wiped my eyes and ruffled my long black hair as to make myself at least almost presentable to him. Although, my eyes were still puffy and red.

I was speechless. He noticed and chuckled at my surprise. He told me, "I was walking past and saw that a beautiful girl was crying and I decided to stop and see what was wrong." Yep, Harry was definitely the flirt.

I smiled a little at that. On any other day, I'd be jumping for joy, but today was a bad day. I couldn't smile as much as I'd like, but he saw the happiness in my expression, and it brought a huge grin onto his beautiful face, showing off a pair of impossibly cute dimples. I now had more appreciation for those gorgeous deep green eyes and luscious brown curls, if that's even possible.

"Well?" he pursued.

I took a deep breath, sniffling a little bit. "Wellllll, my boyfriend just dumped me...like 8 minutes ago. And, I have a feeling that you don't want to hear a long story, so I'm going to stop talking now," I replied, looking away as to avoid awkwardness.

"I have the time and the interest. I definitely want to hear your story. But first, what's your name, love?"

"My name is Rosanna, but you can call me Rose," I told him quietly.

"Well, Rosanna, you have a beautiful name," he said with a smile. "Now, tell me, what happened with your boyfriend?"
