Your POV

I put on light makeup and did my hair, excited to go out with my friends for a shopping spree. I stepped downstairs happily and was about to put on my boots when Harry came out from the kitchen and asked me in a joking manner: "Babe, what's the occasion?"

"Oh, just going out with Nikki and all that for a shopping spree... girl's bonding time, you know?" I giggled, feeling really excited and giddy. Before I could bend down to grab my boots, Harry's hand grabbed my wrist gently, forcing me to look at him with a questioning glance.

Harry frowned and complained: "Y/N, this is the second time you're out this week, what about OUR bonding time?"

"Yeah, I know Harry but I'll be back after dinner and we get to spend the night together... Besides, Nikki is only free today, you know how busy she is..." I brushed it off carefully, holding him by his hip.

Harry seemed even more upset as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Baby, you know I only got this week off as well, and I've been really looking forward to spending the whole week with you and now you just decided to bail me like that?"

Frustration seemed to gather in me as I bargained with him "Harry, for God's sake, stop being such a drama queen! It's going to be less than 5 hours, then we can do whatever we want, ok?"

Harry's tone of voice had gotten harsher. "Right, so I'm being a drama queen now just because I want to spend some quality time with my favorite person in the world? I was actually thinking about watching a movie, just the two of us but you know what? You just have to ruin it like that."

I rolled my eyes at him and argued: "Hmmm, that sounds familiar because every time I need my boyfriend or want to spend time with him, he's always so busy and unavailable! You ever hear me complaining about it, huh? Have YOU ever thought that this is what I have to go through almost all the time?"

Harry got all defensive at me and fought back *GIF*: "Y/N you KNOW you signed up for that when you started dating me! I won't always be free whenever you want it, I thought you were always supportive of my career!"

"Well pardon me, sir. I have tried very hard to compromise under these conditions but in case you forgot, here's a kind reminder: I HAVE A LIFE TOO AND IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY REVOLVES AROUND YOU!"

Harry growled, stepping closer to me. "I didn't say it did but I always thought my girlfriend would've spare some time when I'm on my break so we can spend the day together! It's not like you have much to do anyway!"

I gaped at Harry as if I'm seeing him for the first time. Did I just hear what I heard just then correctly? There's a fine line in this fight and Harry has obviously crossed it.

I whispered, my eyes staring straight at him: "Did you just say your life is more important than mine? Are you saying that my life is boring and irrelevant compared to yours?"

Harry didn't say a word but I knew he meant what he said.

I spat at him, tears threatening to fall: "Just because I'm not as FAMOUS and TALENTED like you doesn't mean that I always have to compromise! Did you really expect me to be a fucking housewife, doing nothing with her life and just waiting for her man to come back? Sorry to disappoint, but I won't just go around canceling my normal routine just because freaking HARRY STYLES rolled along and--"

Harry's POV

She was still ranting as I just stayed silent, when her tough exterior crumbled and she finally revealed her vulnerability and emotions. Her whole body seemed to shake as she broke down, tears streaming across her face.

In summary, I could literally hear and feel her heart break into two. Why? Because that's exactly what I'm experiencing right now. Our first fight and the aftermath of it is not pretty.

I immediately softened at the sight of her, as she pitifully hugged herself with both her arms crossed, trying to stop the tears that showed how vulnerable she is. All of my anger and frustration disappeared as I quickly went up to her and wrapped my arms around her.

"Sweetheart, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... This is all my fault, please stop crying now, alright?" I murmured guiltily, trying to get her to look at me. I promised her I would not hurt her, break her heart and treat her right and I've broken all of the above.

I felt terrible looking at her like this, I tucked some strands of her hair behind her ears and wiped away her tears with my thumb. I hugged her tight and rubbed my arms up and down her back, trying to soothe her.

She still refused to hug me back, hands to herself and her head tucked down. I was persistent and held her tight, murmuring how sorry I am and what an asshole I've been.

She finally gave in and buried her face in my chest, soaking my t-shirt with her tears. Her arms wrapped themselves around my waist securely. Deep down, I knew this was her way of forgiving me.

I rested my chin among her hair and when she finally calmed down, she looked at me, sad and relieved at the same time that the fight was over.

"Why are we like this?" she asked me softly.

I gave her an apologetic look and apologized to her once again even though the guilt gnawing at my heart will still be there. "Baby, I'm so, so sorry I reacted that way. I didn't even intend that to turn into a full on fight. What I said was unforgivable and I'll understand if you don't forgive me, but I didn't mean it and I let the anger inside me get to me. I guess I was just a bit annoyed and frustrated that my perfect week with my girlfriend didn't exactly go to plan but I was wrong for thinking that you are free 24/7. It breaks my heart to see you cry like this and I know it's all my doing. I love you so much..."

I sighed, lowering my head in remorse. Y/N had shifted her arms to my neck as she called my name softly: "Harry?"

I looked up at her. "Yeah, sweetheart?"

She smiled gently, her eyes and nose still a little red from crying which made her even more beautiful if that's possible. "I love you too." She kissed me full on the lips and I responded, happy to feel her soft lips on mine.

And at that instant, I understood that her simple 4 words meant that she doesn't really care about whatever I've just ranted about or what I did, she knows that we both love each other deep down and that's all that mattered to her. Her eyes also told me that fights are really normal among couples so she didn't take it personally.

I might not know much, but I know really clearly this girl's for me and she's the one.

This is quite a long one but I hope you guys enjoyed this! I really like this one^ Today my teacher was like: "Why do you look so stressed and bothered? Is something wrong, you having a bad day?"

And I was pretty confused at first bc sure, it wasn't exactly a great day but it wasn't THAT bad... she kept grilling me but then I realized I have the "resting bitch face" (for anyone of you that don't know what that is, it's basically when your emotionless or expressionless face gives out the impression to other people that you're really angry and annoyed) so yeahhhh.... people get confused a lot when I have no expression :(

Love, Cheryl x
