Harry's POV:

I run my hands through my hair frustratedly. What just freaking happened?

All I remember is drinking something that tasted weird, passing out, and then finding myself half naked next to Jill and Amber, with Paige crying.

I get off the stranger's driveway and walk back to the house. I text the guys, telling them I'm leaving the house without them.

I'm still not sure what exactly happened. I mean, I realized that it looked like I cheated on Paige, but I know, in my gut, that I'd never cheat on her. I've had a bad past, but I'd never hurt Paige like that. This is all I thought about as I drove in the car.

As I turned into my driveway, I tried to erase all events that happened tonight. I'll just have to talk to Paige in the morning. I don't want to confront her if the wound is still fresh.

Paige's POV:

Leaving Harry behind like that really churned something inside of me. It made me feel powerful, yet weak. I don't want to stay away from him, I...I love him.

It still feels weird to think, or even say, but it's true.

On my car ride home, I keep thinking to myself, 'how could Harry do this to me? He promised me that he would never do something like this.'

My mind drifts off to the fun times we had these last couple months he went to school with me. How he would sneak up on me, and randomly grab my hand, kiss it, and then leave for class. Or how he would push me against my locker and lock lips with me so gentle, yet so passionately. Or the time we almost got caught for kissing in the abandoned classroom.

All of those memories bring tears to my eyes, as I realize, I will probably never share any more special moments with Harry again. I mean, with the fight, and the fact that he's leaving in a couple of days with rest of the lads.

Sometimes, I just wish that we would have never met, so I wouldn't feel the way I feel right now. My heart is split in two, or a dagger has been placed there this whole relationship, waiting for this turning point, so it could turn and kill me on spot.

As I pull into my driveway, I turn off my brain for now, and head inside, ready to get some rest. I don't want to think about anything until the pain goes away.

NEXT DAY

"Knock! Knock!" I hear Ali scream as she opens my front door, letting herself in.

"Why do you even bother saying that, if you're just gonna barge right in?" I say, laying on the couch, watching reruns of Full House.

"Sassy much?" She retorts.

I sigh, "Sorry, I'm just not in the mood I guess." I sit up, as Ali sits next to me.

"On your period?" She asks, smiling.

I glare at her, "No."

"Haha, well how're you holding up?" She asks, sincerely.

"Fine. Wait how did you-"

"Niall told me. Harry texted him last night, saying he left. When they got home, Harry told them everything." She tells me.

"Everything." I repeat, staring off into space.

She sighs, "Paige, I don't know exactly what happened, but do you really believe that Harry would cheat on you, after all you guys gone through?"

"I don't know," I say standing up. I head into the kitchen and grab a bottle of water, as Ali follows.

"I mean, I thought he wouldn't, but I never know." I say.
