Chapter Thirty-Nine

Harry's POV:

"This blows." I complained.

"Poor baby." Erica turned to me as she took a sip from her drink.

I glared at her. She dragged me to this stupid party so she could see her boyfriend, and now we were here waiting for him. We were on a beach, there was sand in my sneakers, and I was sober as fuck.

Finally a face I recognized. Zayn. He came over to us but out of no where hugged Erica.

"What the hell?" I asked.

"What?" Erica gave me a weird look. "This is Zayn, my boyfriend." She said, beating her eyelashes as she looked at him.

"Yeah I know him." I replied.

"What's up dude?" Zayn asked.

"Nothing, nothing at-" I stopped. I saw her. Aspen. What was she doing here? She never goes to parties. Who is she even with?

"Ohh look it's his girlfriend." Erica laughed.

"Shut the fuck up." I told her.

"Is that Aspen? You two are together?" Zayn asked.

"No." I responded. "Yeah, thats... Aspen" It felt weird to say her name outloud.

"Her names Aspen? Like a tree." Erica chimed in, Zayn laughed at her.

Suddenly she turned in our direction, and I dove under a table.

Erica started laughing hysterically and Zayn waved to Aspen, I'm assuming she waved back. She was probably miserable. I wonder who she was here with?

I looked up from the table and my question was answered.

"Is she here with Liam? Liam Payne?!" I yelled.

"Yeah looks like it." Zayn responded. "Wow." Zayn nodded his head.

I hated Liam Payne so god damn much. Why was she here with him? Liam's a perfect golden boy. That isn't her type.

"Isn't that your brothers friend?" Erica asked. "Charles'?"

"Yeah." He and my brother were highschool friends. Liam was around my house a fair amount. He was always trying to tell me what to do, cause he was so fucking perfect.

"Why don't you go talk to her?" Erica said.

"Why don't you fuck off?" I responded.

"Hey, c'mon man." Zayn butted in.

I rolled my eyes.

How did Liam and Aspen even meet? I needed a drink.

Aspen's POV:

The party started to get more fun. Liam was really cool. It was nice being with someone who didn't know my reputation and that's not why he was with him.

"Hey, my friends coming, I'm just warning you he's a little intense." Liam said, with a shy smile.

"Sweet, can't wait to meet him." I replied.

"There he is." Liam said as he pointed to a guy approaching us, he stood up straighter and took a deep breath.

"You?" The guy said as he approached us. I realized he was talking to me, and I realized I recognized him.

"Oh hey.." I said awkwardly.

"Ainsley? Right?" He asked.

"Aspen." I corrected him.

"Charles." He replied.

"I remember." I responded.

"You're not here with Harry?" He questioned.

"You know Harry?" Liam asked.

"We went to highschool together." I said.

"The first girl he ever took home." Charles said.

"As friends." I said.

"Yeah right, I didn't get to talk to you really, you guys stormed off a little fast." My mind flashed back to the night spent in a motel room after Harry left his house and I followed him.

"Anyways.." Charles changed the subject. Liam seemed a little weirded out, of course my past would of caught up to me. "Have you seen him tonight?"

"Harry?" I asked.

"Yeah I was going to catch a ride home with him and that chick." He said.

"Chick..?" I asked.

"Yeah, Erica." He said.

I remembered the name.

"Oh yeah, haven't seen them" I acted like I knew he was here, and with a girl at that. I thought he hated her? It was just the girl his family wanted to date.

"Well I catch you two later." He said. His accent was more subtle than Harrys, but you could tell it was there.

"That was..." Liam started.

"Awkward?" I answered.

"A little." He laughed. "I didn't realize you knew the Styles."

"Yeah, mainly just Harry." I said.

"Oh.." Liam said.

"Liam, can I be honest with you?" I said.

"Of course."

"I think you're really cute and Harry's in the past so it would be great if we could keep him there, cause I'm having a really great time." I said.

He smiled. "I'm having a great time too Aspen."

I smiled. Then we paused for a second and he dragged his tongue across his bottom lip. He grabbed my hips and pulled my closer, planting his lips against mine.

Harry's POV:

"What the fuck!" I yelled.

"You're the creepiest human being ever." Erica sighed.

"I should go over there. I should punch him square in the face." I said.

"Harry I'm just going to be honest with you, obviously she's moved on and you should too." She said. She was right, and I hated it.

"Fine." I said, and peeled my eyes of Aspen and him.

"Sorry dude, Ali's with another guy too." Zayn said, ali was his ex.

"Why would you say that in front of me?" Erica said, annoyed.

"Sorry, just trying to help." Zayn said, realizing his mistake.

"I can't take this any more fuck it I'm going over there." I said, standing up from my hiding place. I stood up and spotted her again, they were done making out so it was perfect time for me to talk to her. Even though I had absolutely no idea what to say.
