Another Tomlinson? // Harry Styles FanFic

Chapter Three

-Diana- 

I felt like I was gonna cry. I hadn't heard from Mitch in three years. Why was he suddenly calling me now? We had dated when I was 16 and he was 21. I was a stupid rebellious teen, who just wanted attention when I was that age. But what I didn't realize was that I was falling for him until I found him cheating on me with someone his age. He had become famous over the past few years on a TV show called Skins and I hadn't heard from him since we had broken up. The only ones who knew about Mitch was Cathy and my family. I was suddenly scared of what the boys would think if they heard about him dating me at a young age. I bit my lip to try to stop from crying before hearing Mitch speak on the other end.

"Yeah, it's me. I..um..I was wondering if you could meet me for coffee if you have time. I-I really need to talk to you." He said nervously and I sniffed before taking deep breaths to calm down. I looked at Louis and Cathy to find that their faces were full of hatred as they stared at my phone. I then spoke softly.

"Y-Yeah, I guess I could." I answered foolishly. I still hadn't gotten over the breakup and I was still in love with him, but I felt like I was gonna crumble if I saw him. Louis raised an angry eyebrow as he stared at me intently. Oh how he was gonna be pissed when he found out. Not to mention him and Cathy would blow a gasket.

"Great. I'm in Doncaster and I was hoping we could meet up at the Starbucks here. Around 12?" He asked and I sighed before speaking.

"Okay. I guess so. See you soon, Mitch." I said before hearing him speak again.

"See you soon. Bye Di." He said softly. I practically melted when he said my nickname. I bit my lip before hanging up and looking down, not wanting to make eye-contact with anyone.

"What the hell did that bastard want?" Louis asked and I looked up shyly, seeing the rest of the boys looking confused and concerned before I looked at Louis and Cathy, who were standing side-by-side with their arms crossed.

"W-Well, he asked me if I could meet up with him at the Starbucks downtown. He's in Doncaster." I bit my lip hard as I saw their eyes widen in hatred and shock.

"Just wait until I get my hands on that son of a bitch!" Cathy growled and balled her hands up into fists. I flinched and whimpered softly before hearing Harry speak.

"Hey, calm down. You are scaring her." He said and Cathy's face softened at his words as she looked at me. She then walked over and hugged me tightly.

"Sorry, bestie." She whispered softly, before we heard Niall speak next.

"One question. Who is Mitch?" Louis looked at me and nodded towards them.

"Well, do I have to tell them?" He asked as I noticed he was completely pissed. I was so screwed.

"H-He's...um...he's my ex-boyfriend. I dated him when I was 16 and he was 21." I said and their eyes widened before I continued, "I was trying to get attention at that age, but I ended up falling for him. Then a few months of us dating and me realizing that I loved him, I found him cheating on me with a woman his age. I cried for days and locked myself in my room. It's been three years and I-I'm still not over the breakup." I felt more tears fill my eyes and I quickly wiped them away. Louis looked at me again before speaking to just me.

"And you said no to going to go see him, right?" I didn't speak. I only bit my lip and he frowned, his eyes filling with some unknown feeling.

"You said no, right?" He repeated before I looked down. Cathy gasped and I bit my lip again.

"I can't believe it! You said yes because you still love him!" She said and Louis gasped.

"What?! Oh no. I am not letting you see him. He is only gonna hurt you again!" Louis exlcaimed and I glared at him.

"How do you fucking know?! I'm going to go see him whether you like it or not. I'm 19, Lou. At least trust me!" I exclaimed and he crossed his arms.

"It's not that I don't trust you. It's him I don't trust. I don't want you getting hurt. Again." He said and I growled. 

"I don't care. If I get hurt, I will learn from that mistake. I'm going." I said and began to walk past the boys. Then someone grabbed my arm. I turned and saw Harry holding onto my arm gently. I saw sadness in his eyes and it made me a bit confused. Why would he be sad?

"Don't go. The boys and I enjoy you being here. With us. Please don't be upset." He said softly and I bit my lip before checking my clock on my phone. It was almost 12 o'clock and I shook my head before looking at him.

"I'm sorry, Harry. Maybe we can all hang out later. But this is important. I'm sorry." He then let go of my arm and I hurried down the road to Starbucks. I knew I was making a mistake, but my heart was being stupid and telling me to go. Stupid heart.

-Harry-

I watched her walk away and my heart broke a bit. I then shook my head. Why was my heart breaking? I barely knew her. Sure, she was beautiful, funny, outgoing, and perfect...What am I thinking?! God, what is wrong with me? I looked at the boys and they had frowns on their faces. Then I looked at Louis and Diana's friend, Cathy. They looked sad and they were frowning up a storm. 

"I'm sorry. I tried to stop her." I said softly as I put my hands in my pockets. Louis shook his head before looking at me sadly.

"It's okay, mate. It was my fault. I shouldn't have been so harsh to her. I'm just scared that she is going to turn out like she was before." I raised an eyebrow at his statement.

"What do you mean?" I asked and he bit his lip before playing with his hands.

"When she found out Mitch cheated on her, she just...broke. She started to harm herself and she wears long sleeves all the time to hide those scars. Mitch was her first love and she was truly in love with him. But after the break-up, she shut people out and formed this wall around herself to protect her heart. I can tell that when she meets any boy, she shuts them out, afraid of letting them get close. But when she met you guys, she looked truly happy than she has for the longest time. I just want her to be happy." He said and I sighed. I then looked in the direction of where Diana ran off. What if I wanted to make her happy instead of someone who hurt her? I shook my head again. What the hell was I thinking? I don't fancy her. We just met. She just...intrigues me. Oh what was I saying? I bit my lip before finally speaking to Louis.

"Can I talked to you, Lou?" He nodded and he lead me far enough from the group before looking at me.

"What do you need to talk about?" I sighed and looked at him.

"I think I fancy Diana."
