Harry

"That's not how you were supposed to leave her lad." Niall said, sitting beside me.

"Shut the f*ck up Niall don't you think I know that?!" I hissed.

"Listen, he has a point-" Liam started.

I cut him off.

"I know he does! I f*cked up I know! But she was about to break up with me! What else was there to do?!"

The boys all looked at me.

"What?" I asked.

"She was never going to break up with you lad." Zayn said.

"What?" I asked, taken back.

"She was never going to leave you. Here. I promised her I'd give it to you once we were on the plane but..." Leeroy said, handing me an envelope.

I opened it.

I gripped the letter in my hands.

She was never going to break up with me.

She still loves me.

I took my head in my hands.

"I hurt her." I whispered.

"I hurt her before I left, possibly forever." I shook my head.

So many thoughts were running through my mind.

"No one blames you Harry it's just-"

"I do. I blame myself. I did this to her. She was broken, and I broke her even more." I shook my head.

"Flight 362 is now boarding. Flight 362."

That's our flight.

What now?

(2 ½ months later)

"Just ignore it." Louis whispered to me.

I had my eyes glued on the same sign I've seen at almost every live show.

'Win for Emily'

How these girls knew about Emily was beyond me.

"I can't." I shook my head.

"Focus on the other signs." Zayn nudged me.

We were backstage, about to perform on the X-Factor.

So much has changed in almost 3 months.

Emily hasn't talked to me. I tried. Too many times to count. But she's moved on.

A couple of girls back home tweeted me saying she's got a new boyfriend. At first I didn't believe it, until I saw a few pictures of her and some guy.

She was laughing and having a good time. So if she can move on in a few months, I should too. But I can't.

Then just the cherry on top, Simon changed the band name.

I mean, One Direction is a pretty sick name but, change was just the last thing I wanted and it seemed to be happening a lot lately.

"Next up, One Direction!"

I sighed.

Liam slapped my back.

"Do it for Emily man." He said before running out on stage.
