Prologue

Jessie's POV

I flexed my fingers, and carefully put them to the starting keys. Taking a big, soundless breath, I began.

"No, I know I can't take one more step, towards you." The first words of Christina Perri's song, Jar of Hearts, resonated throughout the room. I looked up and grinned when I saw Harry smiling at me.

"Cause all that's waiting is regret." I continue, in beat with the piano. "And don't you know I'm not your ghost, anymore. You lost the love I loved the most." This is the line that moves me, the line that enters my very core, and from there on, I forget everything and everyone around me. Nobody will ever do that to me again. I focus on the piano notes, and their beautiful sound, and get lost in the lyrics.

"I learned to live, half alive.

And now you want me one more time.

And who do you think you are?

Running 'round leaving scars,

Collecting your jar of hearts,

And tearing love apart.

You're gonna catch a cold,

From the ice inside your soul.

So don't come back for me,

Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around,

If I am anywhere to be found.

But I have grown too strong,

To ever fall back in your arms.

I learned to live, half alive.

And now you want me one more time.

Who do you think you are?

Running 'round leaving scars,

Collecting your jar of hearts,

And tearing love apart.

You're gonna catch a cold,

From the ice inside your soul.

So don't come back for me,

Who do you think you are?

Dear it took so long,

Just to feel alright.

Remember how to put back,

The lights in my eyes.

I wish, I had missed,

The first time, that we kissed,

'Cause you broke all your promises,

And now you're back, you don't get to get me back.

Who do you think you are?

Running 'round leaving scars,

Collecting your jar of hearts,

And tearing love apart.

You're gonna catch a cold,

From the ice inside your soul.

So don't come back for me,

Don't come back at all.

And who do you think you are?

Running 'round leaving scars,

Collecting your jar of hearts,

And tearing love apart.

You're gonna catch a cold,

From the ice inside your soul.

So don't come back for me,

Don't come back at all."

I take a look around, and notice the rest of the boys in the room. All eyes are fixed on me. I muster up what I have left, and say the last three lines. "Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Who do you think, you are?..."

Taking my hands off the keys, I look up at the boys.

"That was incredible Jess." Harry says, real love visible in his eyes.

"I'm at loss for words. That was...fantastic." Zayn whispers, and I see love in his eyes.

I couldn't take it. I looked down. What was I going to do? I wondered, my thoughts going wild. I love both of them. How can I possibly choose?

Looking up once again, I forced a smile and let out a small thanks. But I didn't dare let them see how frustrated I was.
