Harry POV

I've said before that whoever came up with time can heal all things' is full of shit. Time doesn't heal anything, it only makes it worse. Makes everything that's been sitting inside you boil up to the surface and come out with bitterness and hate. Time causes things like pain and hurt to age overtime. How in the hell can someone say that time is all I need to heal my broken heart. Trust me, I've given it time and nothing has or ever will be healed.

I've given it six months worth of my damn time to be exact. Six extra months to work through an even deeper pain than I had imagined. Everything sitting on my chest like a heavy weight and only getting more and more heavy by the day. There are days I think I hear the bones in my body crushing from the weight I feel. Snapping like twigs thrown to the ground in winter and never seeing the side of being fixed.

I thought in the beginning it would get easier, hell I thought it would get better, but it never did.

No, I've sat on the sidelines for six months now ever since the day the world I thought was already broken to bits came crashing around me once again. I stood there and listened to the sickening tale of how two people who were apparently in love got engaged, how they wanted a late summer wedding and what a better place to have it than at the lake house the boys and I had purchased together a few distant summers ago. Six fucking months of hearing about flower arrangements, tuxedos, and guest lists. None stop talk about Eleanor this and Louis that was making my head spin, but the worst part about it? I wasn't apart of any conversation to do with the wedding.

Anything I heard about it came from Liam, Niall or Zayn but even they weren't dumb enough to talk about it to much. I had to hear it from the sidelines and just pretend like I wasn't there at all, because it had also been six months since I decided to cut Louis out of my life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Louis? Answer me please..." I whispered terrified of his reply. He lifted his gaze away from Eleanor next to him and looked to each and every one of our shocked faces.

"It's true.. Although I wanted to be the first to tell you.." He chuckles looking at the giggling maniac beside him. "We're engaged to be married."

He said those words with such pride and happiness and it was more than a slap in the face. I took and even bigger step away from him as I stared him down. He looked at all of us, obviously awaiting his congratulatory speeches and claps on the back but we were all to stunned. They boys knew what had happened between Louis and I that last day in the hospital. There was so much promise and love filled into that tiny time frame that it was all I could do to not shout it out to the world.

"W-Why..?" I choked out to him. The smile slipped off his face and his face set into one of confusion.

"What do you mean why?" he countered back. "We love each other Harry.. We've been together for well over two years, I think it was obvious that it was only a matter of time before it happened.." He speaks to me with such clarity and boldness in his tone.

I stand there staring at him in a complete daze trying to understand. How did everything go from such a mess, to healing and then landing in a big ass mess again? There was no way I thought any of this would happen when he returned. It was the last thing I had ever imagined would happen.

"But what about.. Me.. Us?" I asked him softly.

"Harry.. Mate I thought you understood that was over along time ago?" He smiled reassuringly and I could only cringe at the word 'mate'. I was now only a mate to him, nothing more.
