Everything You Want

Chapter Nineteen

Callie's POV:

"Goodbye, Harry." I say as I shut the door behind him. I wasn't going to let him stay the night. That was just too much.

I walked through the flat until I got to the bedroom. My good mood quickly faded as the memories with Alex invaded my thoughts.

I remember making stupid videos and playing on PhotoBooth in the early stages of our relationship. We were so young and carefree before school and work started becoming more challenging.

I felt empty inside as I made my way to the stereo, plugging my iPod in and turning it to my playlist labeled "Depressing".

Happiness by The Fray played as I brushed my teeth and tied my hair up into a messy bun. I hardly ever put my hair up, but tonight I felt like it.

Climbing into bed, I began to picture me laughing at something Alex had said. Where would we be if the accident hadn't happened?

I realized something just then.

I wasn't over Alex. I only liked Harry because I thought he could make me forget about Alex. But in the back of my mind, I missed Alex so much. So much as to the point where I had to convince myself that I wasn't sad.

This realization hit me like a slap to the face. Alex was the guy I loved, and I would never get to kiss him or hug him again, or raise a family with him. Everything I had envisioned the past year was gone. Dead. Just like Alex.

Alex was my everything. I loved him more than he loved me- that was always obvious- but that didn't make me miss him any less.

My phone vibrated from beside me. I sighed and looked at the caller ID. Harry. What was he doing calling me this late at night when he left not fifteen minutes ago?

"Hello?" I asked, trying to sound less sad than I was.

"Hey, I left my jacket there. Can I come get it? I borrowed it from Niall and he won't be happy that I forgot it." He explained.

"Sure, but I'm going to sleep. There's a key on top of the door frame that you can use to get in," I told him. "But if you wake me up, I'll kill you."

He chuckled. "Whoa, call down, Satan." He joked.

"Just remember to lock the door behind you." I told him.

"Got it. Goodnight." He said.

"Night." I answered before hanging up.

About six minutes later, I fell asleep. My last thought was of Alex squirting me with a water gun and me laughing and telling him to stop.

Those were the good old days.

Harry's POV:

I entered Callie's building for the second time tonight. I was tired and ready to go home and sleep, but Niall would KILL me if he found out I borrowed him jacket. It was more like stealing for the night as appose to borrowing it.

I found her door and lifted my hand up to the door frame. I located the key and put it in the lock, turning it. It was weird for me to be walking into her apartment while she was sleeping, even though I had gotten her permission.

I made my way to the living room, using my phone as a flashlight. I found my jacket laying on the couch and picked it up, the fabric warming my cold hands. Her flat was freaking freezing.

My phone turned off and I was left in complete darkness.

"Crap!" I exclaimed. I began walking slowly. I was almost to the hallway when I felt something tangle around my ankle, making me fall.

The sound of my body falling was sure to wake Callie up. The fall itself was painless, but I didn't want to wake Callie.

I stood up and began walking again. I heard someone talking.

"Crap," I muttered. I must've woken Callie up.

I made my way to her room to apologize for being so stupid, but she wasn't awake.

Instead, she was laying under her multiple blankets, sound asleep.

I smiled to myself, thinking of how peaceful she looked and how much I wanted to kiss her, when she muttered something.

"Alex. I-I love you. Please don't... Go." She mumbled, only loud enough for me to hear.

And with those seven words, my heart broke.

She still loved Alex. I shouldn't be disappointed- he was her boyfriend and she loved/loves him- but somehow I felt as if a part of me died inside.

That part of me was my hope.

The hope that maybe she felt the same way back.
