 I walked into the seating area and spotted Lucy sitting with 5 other poeple. I walked up to the table and saw the 5 people I wasn't expecting to see. One Direction. 

"Hey." Harry stated. I pursed my lips. 

"Hi."  

**************************************

What just happened about 3 minutes ago, kept flashing through my mind. I sat awkwardly across from Harry and next to Lucy and Niall. I didn't even eat. I just stirred my salad around with my fork waiting for the right time to leave. I could feel Harry's eyes staring me down. I couldn't take it any longer. 

"I'm gonna go Lucy. I have a photoshoot tomorrow." I stated. It was actually true so atleast I hadn't lied. I got up, grabbed my purse and waved goodbye to everyone. 

Harry's POV

I kept glancing at Emma who was sitting directly acrossed from me. I kept waiting for her to talk but she just tossed around her salad not even looking up. I could feel the tension and I'm sure everyone else could as well. 

"I'm gonna go Lucy. I have a photoshoot tomorrow." Emma finally spoke up before standing at waving goodbye to everyone then walking out of the building. 

"I'm erm, gonna go to the bathroom." I stated awkwardly standing up. Before Louis said something. 

"You don't have to lie mate. Go after her." He smiled at me. I nodded and rushed out the front door going to find Emma. 

Emma's POV: 

I was half way back to the pier parking lot before I heard someone call my name. 

"Emma! Wait up!" I heard again. I swung my head around to see Harry running after me. I swallowed hard before speaking up. 

"I really have to go." I said nervously. 

"Come on Em. We need to talk. You've never been nervous around me before. Can we please?" He pleaded. I bit my lip and nodded. 

"Let's go." He said leading me to the beach. We headed towards the private part of the beach so we wouldn't get mobbed by fans and paparazzi. 

"So what did you want to talk about?" I stated. I obviously knew what, but it was a conversation starter. 

"Us." He simply stated as we kept walking down the shore. 

"There is no us Harry. I thought I made that clear when we broke up." I started biting my lip while looking at my feet. 

"I know." He sighed. "But I still love you Emma. So maybe we could just start out as friends?"  He said after he stopped walking and turned towards me. 

"I don't know if I can do that Harry. I need to be able to trust you. I thought I did before but now I'm not so sure." I bit the inside of my cheek while looking up at him. 

"That's why we can still be friends. I can get you to trust me again." He pleaded grabbing my hands. I looked down at our hands. I smiled slightly then looked up at him. 

"Well, if we are going to be friends. We need to act like friends not a couple." I stated letting go of his hands. 

"Well, I guess this is a start." I heard him mummble as I started to walk again. 

"Well.... Are you coming?" I laughed a bit. He chuckled and nodded. We started to walk down the shore again. But this time as friends.
