Here it is, the anticipated chapter xD




•_•_•


Harry kissed my head softly, wrapping his tattooed arm around my waist.

"My arm's sore!" I whined.

"I know, it will be for awhile."

Harry's eyes trailed over across the street. "I'll be right back, you stay here okay?"

I nodded my head, unsure of where he was going or who to see. I watched as he crossed the street.

Hands flew over my eyes and stayed there, causing me to gasp.

"Simon?"

"Guess again." A deep british voice said.

My breath hitched as I turned around and saw him.

"Ben, I-I-"

"You and your lover left me for dead," he said angrily.

"I know, I'm sorry for that." I said truthfully.

Ben smirked playfully. "I was watching you, you know. The whole time. I watched when you and Harry got the tattoos, I watched when you and him became 'official' fuck buddies--"

I slapped him hard across his cheek.

"How dare you," I said.

Ben Kyle's smirk across his face grew. "I bet you want to know who he's across the street talking to."

I tapped my foot imptiently. "So?"

"What if I told you," Ben pulled my hair behind me, "your little boyfriend has been seeing another girl for a year, they aren't official or anything, they just fuck. Even when he has you."

"You're lying." I gulped with teary eyes. 

"Am I?" Ben handed me his phone, showing me a picture of him an a brunette kissing. 

I let a tear fall slowly. "Who is she?" 

"Georgia Rose. She's much like you, actually. Blue eyes, pale skin." He took my hand and kissed it. "Beautiful."

I sniffled, staring at him. 

"If you don't break up with Harry within one week, I will hurt you. Or him, your decision. Give him this when you do." Ben handed me a piece of paper and smiled. 

"Why should I listen to you?" I asked. 

"Because if you don't, you know what I can do." He kissed my cheek. "One week." 

Then he left. 

~_~_~

The car ride home had been awkward, and I had to try to hold in my tears as best as I could. The boy I loved was cheating on me. 

He had seemed so distant that day, he barely ever spoke to me or looked at me. 

I walked into my bedroom at my dorm and pulled out the piece of filler paper Ben had given me, it was a letter addressed to Harry.

Dear Harry,

As much as it pains me to say, I know about Georgia Rose. How long did you think you could hide this from me? It's alright though, it's alright because I love someone else as well, I never loved you, Harry. I realize that I never gave you what you wanted: sex. I'm sorry I couldn't, but you just weren't the one, and I understand that you couldn't wait forever with out sex, so you had Georgia for that. I'm fine with this, because we're over. I'm sure you're also fine with this, I know you never loved me. You're the town's punk boy and I'm the Holmes Chapel sweatheart. We could never work. 

I'm sorry that it has to come to this, but really if you would have told me about Georgia or the sex thing earlier things wouldn't have changed. We're not meant for each other. 

When you almost killed Ben Kyle I knew then that we couldn't work. It was like as if that had snapped me back to reality. 

I liked you, I really did. Things changed though, and I never really loved you. I just felt sorry for you because your parents had died and I couldn't just tell you that I didn't love you, you had lost so many people already. In all honesty, if I told you I didn't love you then it would have been better. you would have got what you deserved: A broken heart. 

The first day I met you you were grinding on my friend and you almost beat to death a boy who was drunk and trying to kiss me. The second time you were high on weed and you assaulted me. 

I should have known then...

You need to change Harry, Georgia may want you know but in a year or two she'll be gone just like I am. No woman will ever marry you, you're just not right. Promise me you'll change? It will do you good. Stop doing drugs, it will only mess you up. Stop getting tattoos, you have enough already. Stop being a dick, you're unlovable that way. 

I'm sorry things had to go down this way, it wasn't fair for me to lead you on, and it wasn't fair for you to cheat either. I forgive you, though. 

Anyway... My point is that we need to stop seeing each other. We're over, Harry. I'm sorry if this is hurting you, but to be fair you have Georgia and your other girls to fall back on. You'll be fine without me. Maybe one day we can bump into each other in the future and be friends. 

For now, I'll be seeing you. 

Sincerely, Katherine. 

I hadn't noticed I had been crying all this time. Things in this letter- which were NOT written by me- were so accurate. What was I doing with Harry, we would never work. 

I had to be out of his life in one week. 

I had to give him this letter in one week. 

All this time, Harry has been seeing a girl named Georgia Rose. Even before me, and it broke my heart. Harry Styles was a cheater, and he was cheating on me. 

He told me that he loved me... 

After an hour of reading the letter and crying to myself I got up and wiped my eyes. 

Why couldn't things go back to how they were? When I was with my friends and got good grades and actually went to school. 

Why couldn't I have just chosen Simon? He would have been better for me, he wouldn't have cheated, and he actually loves me. Simon was everything Harry wasn't. 

I dialed his number and placed the phone to my ear. 

"Hey it's Simon Vickers, sorry I couldn't answer the phone right now, please leave a message after the--" Beep. 

Ending the call, I sighed, dialing his number again. 

"Hey it's Simon Vickers, sorry I couldn't answer the phone right now, please leave a message after the--" Beep. 

"Hey Simon, It's Katherine. I bet you already knew that considering caller I.D..." I frowned. "I miss you, Simon. I really do. Please call me back when you get this. I-- I've made a huge mistake. Please... I don't know what to do. I'm so sorry."

~_~_~

I woke up from a short nap to a knock on the door. 

I opened it up tiredly. 

"I was worried you wouldn't be here," He said. 

My eyes widened.
