Good For You

Chapter 5; can this really be over?

Harrys POV

I feel awful, I shouldn't have yelled at her. I shouldn't have been the one telling her who she can and can't date. It just angers me so much because she didn't tell me I had to find out after everyone knew and I mean everybody.

I'm her best friend, she always tells me everything. Whether it be who she likes or what she ate for breakfast, she always tells me. It just made me angry that of all people she could go on a date with it had to be Niall. I like Niall he's a good guy I just don't want my best friend getting hurt over some basketball player.

He's the type of guy to worry about basketball before a girl. He would always put that before her and I don't want her with someone who will do that. In a relationship, each other should come first. Same as in a friendship. But now I'm left feeling awful because her best friend doesn't have an approval over the boy she likes. It also hurts me the fact that she said I'm the one who's hurting her.

I didn't realize my words were hurting her. 

"Jess, I'm sorry. " I say sitting outside her door listening to her sob against the door frame.

She doesn't say anything. 

"Please just talk to me...." I say.

"What do you want Harry? Just go away. " she sobs.

"Come on Jess let me in..." I say twisting the door handle for it to not open.

"No Harry, I don't want to see you right now."

"I get you're mad at me but please let me in so this can be over now!" I say.

"This will never be over, you continue to hurt me. Over and over and over again you continually hurt me. " she says. "I've had enough!"

"No Jess, I'm sorry. "

"Sorry isn't going to work this time, you just turn right around and stab me in my back again. "

"I shouldn't have said anything Jess please just open up."

She doesn't respond.... We sit in silence for what feels like 8 hours.  I know she's probably sleeping. I stand up going into the bathroom and grabbing a Bobby pin to open the door. Once it's open I see her lying on the floor, asleep. I scoop her up and put her into the bed. She wakes up mumbling an "I don't want to be by you right now. "

I lay next to her in the bed staring up at the ceiling as she turns her back towards me. I scoot her closer to me in the cradling position, hugging her closely and tight.

"I'm sorry Jess. "

"I know Harry. " she sighs.

We bathe in each other's silence, before she turns around facing me. Our faces so close together.

"I love you Jess, you know that...."

"Yeah Harry. "

"I just want what's best for you. "

She sighs before nodding.

"Can this be over?" I ask.

She nods her head.

We both shut our eyes, before we know it we're asleep.

—> the next day <—

Jessica's POV.

I wake up and Harry's gone. What he said to me last night hurt me. He's my best friend and I just wanted his approval of Niall. I don't care that he doesn't like him, I just want him to say it's okay that you date him because you like him. It shouldn't have to be his opinion on whether he's good for me or not. I don't think he realizes how much he hurts me when he says mean things to me. As if it's fun and games to him, it's not to me.
