Within The Lyrics ~ Sequel to My Mentor *Completed*

Two. A Year Without

(A/N-  I was gonna wait and post this like on Wednesday or Thursday...but I hate waiting when I have a chapter that I really want you all to read!  Since chapter one accounted for the three years that Harry and Niall were together, this chapter accounts for the year and two months since the split.  It brings the story basically up to present day. Video on the side- 'Sorry' by Buckcherry.  Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it!!!  xx  )

-One Month Post Split-

“Power couple, Harry Styles and Niall Horan, have called it quits.  Reps for both parties confirmed that the split happened towards the end of November.  Reports claim that Harry was seeing footballer Rohan Oaks while in Australia and the two maintained their relationship, after Harry’s tour was over.  Neither Harry nor Niall could be reached for their comment but we were able to speak with Rohan.  He confirmed that he and Harry had been dating each other for a few weeks before the split.  He even told us that he made multiple trips up to visit Harry in London, without Niall’s knowledge.”  I switched off the t.v.; not wanting to hear it any further.

“You know that Rohan is lying.  Well about the dating thing, anyway.” Zayn states.  Trying to comfort me.  The breakup is still difficult for me to process.

“I know they weren’t dating but Harry was still lying about being with him.  I told Harry that I didn’t like him and that I thought he was up to no good and that report right there just proved it.”

“You know Harry will be looked at like the bad guy in this.  Everyone thinks he cheated on you.” Liam added.  I sigh.

“Well he certainly would have if I didn’t stop it.  You know what happened.”  I put down the box that I was currently carrying.  I was in the process of moving out of Zayn’s and into my own home that I just purchased.  I sadly looked into their eyes.

“How is he?” I softly ask.  I know that they saw him a couple days ago.

“Not good.  Louis says he didn’t get out of bed for like a week after the last time you two saw each other and he hasn’t taken off your Derby jersey.” Liam states and I plop down on to the sofa and bury my head into my hands.  I feel the couch dip on both sides and then feel Zayn and Liam rubbing my back.

“Maybe you should go see him before you leave for Ireland for Christmas.” Zayn suggests.

“I can’t.  It would be too hard.  I would break.” I replied.

“You’re going to miss Louis’ birthday party.” Liam added.

“I know.  I’ve already talked to Louis about it and he understands.  Let’s just get this packing done.  I just want to get fully moved in to the new house and sleep.  Ryan is meeting us there in an hour to help.”

-Two Months Post Split-

“I know what all of the reports have been saying, Ni.  But you have to believe that I wasn’t dating him like he is telling everyone.  I should have listened to you.”

“I know, Harry.  It’s fine.” I replied and sighed through the receiver of the phone.

“It’s not fine because….. I lost you.”  I could hear him take a ragged breath like he was about to cry.
