"R-Really?" Harry stuttered. 

"No. I just said yes, because I wanted to get your hopes up. Of course I meant it! Really, Harry," I told him as our eyes met. His dazzling jade eyes met with my brown eyes as his lips touched mine, and a spark of electricity went through my body. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders as he wrapped his arms around my waist. We kissed for what seemed like eternity, until we finally broke apart as I looked up into his eyes. 

"Harry, y'know, you've got jade eyes," I said through laughter. 

He laughed at me. "Oh my God, Jade,"

I winked playfully at him as he hugged me. 

"Harry, I need to go home," I told him. "See you whenever," 

"Bye Jade, my girlfriend," he said, with emphasis on the 'girlfriend' because he knew it would embarrass me.

As soon as I got home, I texted Ellie to tell her about tonight's events, which then resulted in a phone call. 

"So he invited you to a park and asked you to be his girlfriend?" Ellie questioned. 

"Yes. How cute is he?" I said, smiling. 

"Hmm... yeah, very." I swear I could hear a hint of... annoyance in her tone."Got to go now babe, ta ta!" She said as I hung up. 

I phoned my friend George to tell him the news. He, and Ellie were the only two people who knew about my crush on Harry. 

"Hey! We should go celebrate," George said. 

"Celebrate?" I asked. "Celebrate what?" My tone questioning. 

"Your new found lover boy," George said. I could almost see his grin through the phone. 

"Won't it... well won't it look weird? I mean, a girl who has a boyfriend, and a guy who has a girlfriend, together?" I asked. 

"I'll meet Carmen outside the club and you text Harry and ask him to come," George told me. 

"Okay, bye!" I said as I hung up the phone. I composed a quick text to Harry, but I left out George. 

"I'm going to a club with Carmen! D'you wanna come? Jade xx" 

Within seconds, Harry texted back, "I would if I could but boys night in. Have fun and don't wear anything too revealing, else it might end up on my floor ;)" Harry was quite clearly drunk, and I loved that side of him. It opened up a side of his vulnerability, a side that I rarely saw.

I awoke with a pounding headache, and a text from Harry. I was no longer smiling as I read the six words on the screen.

"We really need to talk, Jade." 

I had no idea what Harry wanted to talk to me about, but I was sure it wasn't good. 

I texted Harry back. "Come over then. I don't know what's wrong though x." 

Harry came over to my house straight away. 

"Emm... what happened?" I asked Harry.

"Well, Kevin told me that he saw you with another boy last night. The other boy being Rochelle's brother," Harry growled. I quickly put 2 and 2 up and realised that Rochelle and my best friend were siblings. 

"What? Are you going to believe me, your girlfriend, or your friend who tried to sabotage your relationship with me?" I asked Harry.

"Kevin is my best friend, and you never mentioned he tried to sabotage your relationship with me, which was probably non-existent. We've only been together for less than 24 hours and you expect me to believe you over my best friend?" Harry shouted. 

"Some best friend, if he lies about me to you! I swear to God, last night I phoned Ellie then went to a club with George where he met Carmen. I invited you, but you were too drunk to come! He was the one who told me you were snogging some girl at the party," I shouted back. 

"He was helping you! He thought you should know! It'd be better you hearing than me telling you the morning after. Fuck this, Rochelle was right, I don't need you," he said icily. 

"What is wrong with you? Do you not realise that Rochelle is hurting me? You jump to the defense of everyone and believe your best friend over me. A relationship is all about trust, and frankly we don't have any trust left in each other," I told him, tears cascading down my face. 

"No Jade, you messed up. Don't blame Rochelle, you were probably fucking her brother, and "Carmen" was watching," Harry said, his eyes glossy. 

"I never cheated on you! Look Harry, if there's one thing I hate more than anything it's liars. You out of all people should know that!" I cried. 

"Don't try to turn this all on me!" Harry screamed, his face becoming red with rage. 

"Harry, we can fix this," I cried. "Look, we can meet Ellie and she'll tell you I was on the phone to her and you can ask George what happened," "Please Harry," I was shaking. 

"No," he said angrily. "Why try to fix something that can't be fixed? There's too many flaws in this relationship," 

I wept, as I realised that I had let him go.
