It was hard for me to act like everything was fine when all these memories were rushing through my mind. I remember Harry's eyes looking into mine like we had our own way of communicating without saying a thing.We told eachother all our secrets that night as we lay said by side on my bed slightly out of breath. I remember every little detail of that night like it was yesterday, when in reality it was months ago. Long months which changed everything but I couldn't forget all of the good things that happened to us although I should really forget it all for my own good. I Wish I could wake up with amnesia, forget about the stupid little things. Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you and the memories I could never forget. I was lost in my thoughts until Troye waved his hand in front of my face.

"is something wrong? do you not like this restaurant? We could always go somewhere else" He looked so worried and I knew exactly how expensive this restaurant is. I can't let my memories ruin this night so I just shut my mind up "No I love it actually, they have great food. Sorry I was just lost in my own universe" I faked a smile and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Thanks goodness for that. I though that I've done something wrong"

"No, you really haven't. Let's go inside, it's getting a bit chilly out here." he just nodded and intertwined his hand with mine before entering the restaurant. We got directed to a table near the back, next to a window which showed the beautiful lake outside which was lit perfectly by the moon. I remember taking a walk around that lake with Harry. stop thinking about him! my subconscious had to bring me back to reality because that was the past and right now I'm sat with a great guy and I'm just ruining the night for both of us by thinking about my ex boyfriend. Troye and I ordered our meals and we waited patiently while sipping on our drinks and chatted about nothing in particular. Soon our meals arrived and I was thankful because I was running out of things to talk about and things started getting awkward. As I ate my dessert some tall brunette walked over and slapped me across the face.. Wait what?  "what the fuck was that for?" I asked. Not only did she leave my cheek stinging but she also caused me to drop my delicious ice cream on the floor and that was a bitchy move.

"Don't act like you don't know!" is this bitch serious?

"I'm not acting, I have no idea what's going on!" she looked between me and Troye and that's when I realised that he was sweating nervously and was now standing between us.

"Troye,  maybe you would like to explain"

he took a deep breath before saying what I hoped was just a sick joke.

"ummm Nikki, this is my girlfriend Meg" my whole body froze for a moment and when I finally snapped back to reality, I did what I've always wanted to do. I grabbed my glass of champagne and tipped it over his head and gave Meg a little smirk before walking out with my head held high. As soon as I got out into the cold night, warm tears streamed down my cheeks. I took off my heels and ran home, it was a long run and my lungs were burning while my throat was dry. When I finally found my house I walked in and just like yesterday, everyone was waiting for me to get home the only difference was that this time my eyes were puffy from all the tears and I couldn't breathe. I collapsed to the floor in front of everyone and was soon comforted by someone's strong arms, I looked up to find a pair of green eyes looking into mine and once again we communicated without words. Soon everyone else left and it was just me and him together, in eachothers arms and nothing could make me feel better than his company.
