Bringing Back The Past

Chapter 22

Dacey's POV

The song continues as we slowly dance. Neither of us speaking a single word. It's weird, when I was younger I always thought about what it would be like to be with Niall. To dance with him, kiss him. Now those two things have both happened in such a short amount of time. That I don't even know what to think. Do I want to be with Niall? Does he even want to be with me?

"You know we need to talk?" Niall loudly whispers in my ear due to the loud music. I simply nod in response unaware of what to even say. "we need to talk abo-" he started but I cut him off.

"Not here Niall" I tell him looking in his eyes for the first time. They are sparkling blue even more from the lights bouncing of of them. "you should get back to your date" I say removing my arms from his neck.

"Uhm I think she's good" he chuckles looking over to where here and Zayn are still happily dancing. The whole time he keeps his right hand on my lower back making she I don't try to leave again. He looks back go me. "Dacey we really have to talk. You can't just ignore this" he tells me. He knows me to we'll still. He knows ill just avoid him and the conversation all together.

"I know" I finally say rolling my eyes.

"Now" he says pulling my arms back up to rest on his shoulders. "The songs not over yet"

So again we sway to the slow beat of the music. Most of it drowning out behind my thoughts. As I think about the conversation me and Niall will have to have.

The song finally ends, but Niall doesn't let me go. Harry walks back over to us awkwardly standing there. He clears his throat to get Niall's attention. His arms drop from my waist and he leans towards me to whisper in my ear.

"We're talking tomorrow" he informs me with no question. I nod and he walks away leaving me with Harry. He chooses to ignore all of what just happened and offers me a cup of punch he got while I was with Niall. I thank him talking the cup in my hand. I raise it to my lips taking a drink and trying to calm my rushed breathing.

The night continues on and I make sure not to talk to Niall. He just stays over by that wall taking to Louis. His date stayed with Zayn the rest of the night, and they both seemed to be pretty happy. Liam and Dakota never left each others sides of course. So that left me with Harry. It was weird after what happened with Niall, but maybe it's just for me. Me and him are the only ones that know we kissed anyway. Yet it still feels like every time someone looks at me they know.

The night finally ends and I leave with Harry. We get in his car and leave. Dropping Liam and Dakota off first then heading to my house. We pull up in front and I reach for the door handle.

"I had fun tonight" Harry says and I turn around finding him a lot closer than expected.

"Yeah me too" I say and barley smile. slowly he moves closer to me. I put my hand on his chest softly pushing him back just as I had done to Niall earlier.

"Don't" I whisper looking down and removing my had from his chest.

"I-I'm sorry" he says his cheeks flushing red clearly embarrassed by his actions. "I- it's just Dacey I've always liked you, then you moved and I thought I would never have my chance and now here you are. Your back. Its like your so close yet still so far away." he says looking in my eye on the last sentence and taking my breath away. "I just wish you would feel the same" he whispered breaking out eye contact again.

"I'm sorry Harry. I wish I did because your such a great guy.. it just I like someone else" I rush the words out. Not only am I admitting this to him but to myself also.

"Niall" he stated calmly but I can see his jaw and fist clench tight at the one word. I nod in response and he looks to me again. "I just hope he treats you right this time" he whispers, moving over and lightly kissing my cheek. "Goodnight Dacey" he says and moves back to sit normally in his seat.

"Goodnight" I repeat and exit the car. I walk up to the door an turn around to Harry's car once more before I go inside. His face is covered by his large hands as he sits in his car. He removes his hands looking at me once before driving away. It was the most heart breaking this to see. He just confessed to me something he's been feeling for years an I threw it back in his face.

I go in side and strait to my bed. With out changing I collapse on my bed and go to sleep. Trying desperately to forget the sight of Harry's upset face.
