I watched Harry leave in the car as I cried.

I just couldn't face anything without him.

I slowly walked inside my house, into my room. I am depressed.

My phone vibrated on my side table.

I looked at it. A message from Harry.

'Missing you already

'Miss you too. ;) xx'

Yep. I couldn't face much without Harry by my side...

NEXT SATURDAY...

"Hey Piper! Your on the telly with Harry!" Harper yelled from the living room.

I was in the kitchen helping mum with dinner when Harper said that.

I ran through to the living room to see Harry's X Factor audition on the telly.

"Oh no! My hair looks a mess!" I shouted.

"Oh! Who cares about your hair" Harper complained.

"Me"

We watched Harry's audition, and he really was very good.

I'm sure he'll go far.

***

"Hey Harry, how's boot camp?" I asked Harry on Skype after the X Factor.

"Yeah. It's great. There are loads of new people, I've already made some friends"

"That's really good. I'm glad your having a great time. We saw your audition on telly"

"Yeah I know. I saw it"

"Don't worry. It was really good"

"Hmm, yeah. But they had to put it on telly! The actual show"

"But it was good"

"Thankyou." I heard someone shouting him, "Oh, gotta go Piper, love you"

"Love you too"

4 WEEKS LATER...

SATURDAY NIGHT..

As the auditions finished and the bootcamp started, Harry seemed a bit distant to me, not really answering my messages to him and stuff like that.

I guess it's because he's always busy...

I didn't see Rebekah's audition, but I saw her in bootcamp.

She's actually quite good...

I didn't see Harry's bootcamp performance, but I guess it will be on the website.

'Hey babe, how ya doing? Miss you xx' I texted him.

I didn't get a text from him until late At night,

'Hey babe. Just really busy' he texted back..

No kisses.

No I miss you.

No I love you.

At that point, I knew I was losing him.

2 WEEKS LATER...

SATURDAY NIGHT..

It was the results of the X Factor bootcamp, and I was sitting on the couch, playing with Harper's hair when a big group of people walked on stage.

"Hey, isn't that Harry in that beanie hat?" Harper said.

"Oh My God, yes it is!"

We waited if he got through or not,

"I'm sorry guys, it's bad news" Simon said...

Oh no..

"Aww! What? He should have gotten through!" We shouted in disbelief.

"Hey, what's all the noise?" Mum came through to the living room.

"Harry didn't get through"

"Ahh, what?"

I just slumped back down in the couch.

Then a thought struck me...

Why hasn't he come back here?..

Why hasn't he called me to say he was coming back?..

He's hardly sent me any texts at all. It's like he's becoming more distant with me...

I was struck out of my thoughts by Harry reappearing on the screen...

But he wasn't alone.

He was with 4 other boys...

"Your through" Simon said, "As a group"

Harper leaped up from her seat and started jumping around the room.

I was cheering as well, but my heart literally sunk to my feet..

He's gone.

2 MONTHS LATER

Harry made it through to the live shows, he's not called me at all, just the occasional text though.

Apparently he came home once to collect more stuff, but he didn't come to see me, I was just so heartbroken. I felt like an old piece of junk thrown away.

But what's worse is he's kept our relationship hanging, why doesn't he just end it?

I was in the corner shop, picking out magazines, until I found one that caught my eye.

It said 'ONE DIRECTION' on the front.

I picked it up, eager to know what it would say about them.

But when I looked at the front cover...

I dropped the magazine and ran back to my house..

It said,

'HARRY STYLES TALKS ABOUT BEING SINGLE'
