Chapter 24

Cassie’s P.O.V

I looked the familiar building up and down as the cab pulled up, I saw him sitting outside, his head in his hands. I handed the cab driver ten dollars and told him to keep the change before climbing out, the boy’s head clicked up as a grin formed on his face. I took in a deep breath as I walked towards him, he stood up on his feet and walked towards me. He placed his hands on either side of my face, but I stepped back. I looked up to him, pain playing on his features.

“It’s me right?” He whispered.

“What you did was unforgivable Harry.” I sighed

“But you forgive me?” He asked his voice pleading.

“Not yet, well, I don't know.” I mumbled shaking my head.

“Then why are you here? Please Cassie…” He croaked taking a step towards me.

“What we had was great Harry, and there is no denying I love you, but I’m not in love with you, maybe I was once, but I’m not now.” I spoke softly.

I looked up to the boy as a tear rolled down his face; he shook his head before talking.

“It’s been you, it always has been. I done something stupid, and I regret it more than anything, I really do, but Cassie please, don’t leave me… I know I deserve it but you can’t do this.” He begged, “Please say you love me like I love you.”

I shook my head, a tear rolling down my cheek, “I can’t Harry.”

“Please.” He yelped, tears rolling freely, “We can make this work, I can make you love me again.”

“That’s the thing Harry, I’m not sure I was ever in love with you, yes I love you, and I don’t regret a thing, although I should. Beth told me I would realize I loved you one day, this is the day, I love you Harry, but not like that. Deep down, I think you know you love me, but not the way you want too and as much as you want too, you can’t change that.”

He let out a sigh, “I’m so Sorry.”

“Don’t be…” I mumbled, “I needed a wake up call.”

“We can be friends right?” Harry whispered

“I’m not losing you Harold.” I smirked, wiping away the tears from his face.

“Go get him.” He whispered, “Tell him, he’s a lucky guy.”

“Thank you.” I breathed.

I let up and peck Harry’s cheek, it was wet from the tears and as I pulled away I was left with a slightly salty taste. I smiled at him weakly before walking towards the road, I checked my watch, I have 2 minutes to make a 5 minute drive although the café was at the end of the road, it was a long road. I stuck my hand out and hailed a cab, which soon pulled up. I yanked the door back and jumped in, giving the guy directions to the little café. After what felt like an hour the taxi pulled up. I checked my watch; Niall should have left 2 minutes ago. I ran up to the café and all its lights were off, I peered inside and all I saw was stacked chairs.

“Shit.” I mumbled.

I took a step back and looked right to where I came from, only to see an empty, dark, streetlight filled street, but when I looked left towards the walk to the venue, there was a blonde, walking swiftly in a white shirt.

Niall.

I took off in his direction, my feet stomping hard on the pavement. I started to pant hard after about a meter. Jesus Christ, I shouldn’t have skipped gym. When I was close enough to the blonde I yelled

“Niall!”

He swung around and a smile lit up his frowning face. He started to walk towards me before he yelled.

“Cassie, I thought you chose Harry.”

Just as his sentence finished I crashed my lips on to his. He was surprised as he stumbled back slightly and his lips didn’t move, but within seconds his arms snaked around my waist and my arms found their way around his neck. Tingles and fireworks shot though my body, Niall’s kiss was slightly harsh, but only to show the passion and lust he’d held in for so long, his lips tasted like spear mint. Our lips fit perfectly; I took his nip on my bottom lip as him asking for entrance, which I answered. Our tongues battled for dominance but his won, everything about the kiss was perfect, the way we were so in time and the amount of emotion sent me over the edge, He smiled into the kiss as I did too, but due to the lack of breath it soon ended.

He rested his forehead on mine, my bluey-green eyes stared into his deep blue ones, his height was perfect, just everything about him and this moment was perfect. All that could be heard was the sound of our heavy breathing and the whizzing of cars going past.

“Cassie.” He breathed, breaking the silence.

“Yeah?” I mumbled

“Why me?”

I took my head off his and looked up at him, how could I explain to him that it was never my intentions to fall for my best friend? Yet this amazing beautiful man makes it so hard to deny any form of feelings for him, how can I put into words how much he means to me when I can’t even think about how much he does, without this boy I would have crashed and burned a long time ago.

“It’s always been you.” I mumbled, “It just took me too long to realise, you were there when no one else was, you kept me sanely insane, you drive me up the bend sometimes, but you’re perfect.”

Although it was rare for Niall and I to fall out, he did know how to push my buttons and push them damn well, maybe to the point of a black eye or two.

“I would have waited for eternity to hear you say that.” He whispered, placing a kiss on my forehead. “I’m sorry for what he did to you, I’m sorry you found out the way you did, but you needed to know.”

“I know.” I nodded, “Forgive and forget right?”

A small chuckle left his already grinning mouth, causing me to smile as the tingles shoot though me yet again, it felt amazing to be the reason for that oh so happy boys laugh.

“I love you, so much.” He whispered

“You know what?” I smiled, looking up to him, “I think I love you too.”

The boys smiled grew wider as his arms tightened around my waist before he pulled me into him and off the ground, spinning us quickly as my laughter erupted, my feet was soon on the ground again, but his grip didn’t loosen

“Good, because I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
