Chapter 2

Chapter 2:

Harry's POV

"I need to get out of here," I mumble as I stand up from the chair I am sitting in here.

"She's our friend Harry. I think it's important she be there since she was there when our journey began," Niall reasosn.

"well I think you guys did that to purpously be assholes," I growl.

"No. Not everything is about you Harry," Liam shouts.

"Well Liam not everything is about Taylor and you guys keep bringing her up or trying to bring her around," I spit.

"Stop it. You're acting childish. For the past month you've been acting like an idiot," Zayn argues.

"Fine, I'll go act like an idiot somewhere else," I retort and then go to exit the room.

I slam the door shut behind me as I furiously walk down the hallway and out to my audi. I can't believe they invited Taylor to our album release party. They know how much I can't stand being around her. Not because I hate her, but because I love her. It pains me to see her everywhere I go ever since we broke up. But for right now I was trying out a relationship with someone else. I decided to give her a call and see what she was up to because I really needed a distraction.

"Hello?" She answers cheerily.

"Are you busy?" i ask her as I get into my vehicle.

"Not at all. I was just about to call you. I had a bad day," she replies.

"Me too. Let's meet up at your place," I plan.

"Yeah that's fine. I'll see you when you get here," She says and then we hang up.

Everyone that I am close to called me the biggest dumb ass in the history of dumbasses for dating her but she was the only thing I had. Heather was right for me at the moment. She was the only sense of what I had from my old life before fame besides the boys. Hell she was even the only thing that was there before Taylor. The boys hated her and scolded me for falling back under her spell a few months ago but I needed some kind of way to remove Taylor from my thoughts. The best way to do that was to do all of the things that pissed her off and surely secretly dating Heather would be one of them.

"Hey babe," She greets after a moment of knocking on her door.

"So what do we have planned this evening?" I ask her.

"I was thinking we could watch the Golden Globes," She says.

"Sure. The boys were annoying me anyway,' I say with a shrug as I walk into her apartment.

Heather was now some secretary for a large business so I knew she would never be a gold digger. She never asked for much except sex and the occasional need of attention. Other than that it was barely like we were dating at all.

"So the release part is in a few weeks and I was thinking we could make things official," She brings up as soon as we are cuddled on the couch.

"We'll see," I say after a moment.

Fuck. That was possibly the worst thing that could happen right now. If Taylor surely saw that we made it official at the party then I was sure to never hear from her ever again. I didn't want to blow any other chance I had of possibly persuading her to take my pathetic ass back. I know it sounds sad even after spending two years apart but I always knew there was something missing. I even became one of Hollywood's biggest man whores because I couldn't stay with one girl for longer than a few months. That was because they all had one thing wrong with them.

They weren't Taylor. But then again if she doesn't take me back I might end up marrying someone who I one hundred percent might not love or I might even die alone.

"The red carpet is starting!" She says breaking my thoughts.

But once the red carpet starts my mind wanders again. I remember when Taylor and I would sit and watch TV when we were on break. I remember cuddling her body against mine like this. I rememeber she giggle when something ridiculous would happen on whatever cheesy movie we were watching. The way her eyes sparkled when I would make some kind of sarcastic remark that she would like. Her presence is what kept me at bay with my emotions. But then again I was the idiot who lost her and I could only blame myself for the empty feeling that I might feel forever because let's be honest here. I hadn't been happy in a long time.

"Oh my god," Heather says once Taylor comes on the screen.

I keep my eyes glued to what was happening. She looked completely stunning. Her long pink gown and her pinned up blonde hair was gorgeous and she was just all around glowing.

"So you're ex boyfriend Harry Styles has been in the media quite a lot. What do you have to say about his actions for the past few weeks?" Ryan Seacrest dares to ask her.

"I would just like to say that he and I are no more and that he can do whatever he and wants and chase after whatever groupies he wants. I have bigger and better things to fill my spare time with rather than reading some dumb magazine about someone who no longer concerns me,' She says as nicely as possible.

"Good thing you're over her,' Heather mentions.

"Mhmm," I slightly confirm and she goes back to watching the television when Jennifer Lawrence appears on the screen.

I then can't help but let my thoughts wander again. Did Taylor really feel that way? I hope she could see past my mistakes and take me back. I know that sounds redundant to everything that has happened after breaking up with her the first time. But this time I was willing to change. I needed to be happy again and she was the only thing that could seem to fufill that.

"Are you staying the night?" Heather asks after another moment.

"yeah..absolutely," I agree and give her a warm smile.

She then leans back against my chest as the award show begins. But for right now all I needed to do was fill the whole with whatever I could before I completely drowned.

Sorry if this one was short but it's just some background on Harry's life so far. But thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Votes and comments would be perfect.
