Change My Mind

Chapter 3

Harry's POV

"Haz you're a dick" Lou said after I explained to him what happened years ago. At this point everyone left to go to their own flat while Lou thought this 'talk' was crucial.

"I know I was. Way to make me feel worse." I said as I tugged at my curls falling back onto my bed as Lou chuckled. "What's so funny?!"

"Haz you should feel horrible. Wait, worse then horrible. You put that girl through hell. I wouldn't exspect her to talk to you at all." I sighed and let out a loud scream. "What was that for?" Lou said as he laughed and I shot up from the bed.

"Do not tell me that it is not worth trying because it is. I owe her an apology. You know what, more then that." I said and Lou shook his head.

"Do you seriously believe that the poor girl will wanna talk to someone who ruined her life practically." He said and I was fuming.

"I didn't ruin her life. Clearly she does quite fine if she has become a fashion designer." I said and Lou went wide eyed.

"You framed the girl for a crime she didn't commit. You are on a new level of life ruining." He said and the memories from that night flashed back into my head.

*FLASHBACK*

"Come on Haz don't be a pussy. It's just a dare." Trevor said as Andrew and Stephen nodded their heads.

"Guys what if she gets in trouble?" I said and they laughed.

"Does someone have a crush on Cassie no assy?" Stephen said and I shook my head. I picked up the bracelet from the stand and put it in my pocket and walked up to her. Before I said a word I turned around to see the lads giving me a thumbs up. I am gonna feel terrible for this, I already got her in trouble at school for the note I wrote and now she is probably going to get accused of shop lifting.

"Hi Cassandra." I said sporting my famous grin and she turned in my direction rolling her eyes.

"Harry don't you ever get tired of picking on me?!" She said as she turned away from me and continue to look through the books.

"I wanna be friends." I said leaving my arms wide open for a hug and she gave me this weird look.

"Are you ill?" She said and i chuckled. I shook my head no and she came into my embrace. I cautiously took the bracelet from my pocket and slipped it in her bag. I released her from the hug and she was smiling. She seemed so... innocent.. "It was kinda nice talking to you I guess. I really have to go. Bye Harry." She said as she started walking towards the exit waving goodbye to me. Before she even stepped out the door a little beeping noise went off and the guy at the cashier ran over to her. Shit.......

"Hello Ms. I am gonna have to search your bag." He said and she rolled her eyes and handed him the bag. He began searching through the bag until his eyes went wide. He pulled out the very bracelet I slipped in her bag. I looked at her face and saw all the color in her face drain. She was mortified, scared, and screwed.

"I didn't take that I swear!" She said as the tears started to race down her cheeks.

"That's what they all say. I'm calling the cops. Come with me." He said grabbing her arm and dragging her into the managers office. I ran to the nearest trash can once I felt the urge to vomit. I am the person who caused her to get accused of shop lifting and more importantly I can't fix things. I ruined her.

* END OF FLASHBACK *

"Lou get out. Now." I said through gritted teeth.

"You're kicking me out for telling the truth?" I shook my head as the anger boiled inside me.
