After years of broken promises and hearts, two lovers find their way back to their heart's owners, despite one of them already being in a relationship.
"Because I've finally starting to find a balance in my life between this career and friends and family and I want you to be part of that." He whispers.
"But you said you were leaving in a few days." You say.
"I know, but that doesn't mean we can still talk or text and get to know each other again." He whispers.
"Like last time?" You whisper.
He sighs. "I know I sucked at that last time, but I'll be on break. I'll be working in LA doing some writing and stuff, but I'll be able to talk to you still." He says.
You sigh and look at him.
"Okay. Fine." You say and grab his hand. "This is my number." You say writing it down from a pen in your purse.
"Now, I better go before Jace comes looking for me." You say.
He nods and watches you leave.
Harry kept his word and you both had started to have a friendship again. It was nothing like it was, but you had already given up on the fact that would ever happen. Neither of you had brought up that night and a part of you wanted too, but you didn't want to be that girl that was living in the past about something that happened at the age of 16. Harry had invited you and Jace along with your family to the hometown show since your parents and his were still very close. Jace couldn't come because of work, so it was just you.
Throughout the show, Harry kept glancing at you and you would give him a small smile and wave. This was the first time that you had seen him on stage as Harry from One Direction and you couldn't help but be proud of him. You were always proud of him. It didn't matter how much he broke you or the fact that you two no longer spoke, you were always proud of him.
After the show that night, Anne had everyone over to celebrate including you. Halfway through, you notice Harry heading out towards the backyard and you decide to follow him. You see him lying down in the little meadow that you two always stayed at. You walk over and lay next to him.
"You did great tonight." You smile. "You really are in your element on stage." You smile. "And the fans are very loud." You say giggling.
"They are." He laughs. "Thank you for coming tonight." He says. "It meant a lot."
"You're welcome. Jace wanted to come, but he couldn't get off work." You say.
He nods. "So, um. How is that going?" He asks. "Are you happy?" He asks.
"Yeah. He's a great guy." You say playing with some of the grass.
"Do you love him?" He asks.
"I do. I love him." You say looking up at him.
"Are you in love with him?" He asks.
"I-uh." You start to say. "No. I'm not, but we've only been dating a few months." You say.
"You've been dating for 10 months." He whispers.
"How do you know that?" You ask.
"When I first met him, it was 5 months that you two had been together and it's been about 5 months since. That's almost a year." He says. "And you're not in love with him," Harry says. "Seems a bit odd." He says.
"How would you even know? You haven't even been in a relationship longer than a few months and you want to tell me that I should be in love with my boyfriend because we've almost been together a year?" you say annoyed.
"Look, All I'm saying is that by now you should know if this relationship with him is going anywhere." He says. "And you should definitely know if this is the can't eat-can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world series sort of love." He says looking into your eyes.
You look at him shocked and feel the tears forming in your eyes.
"How dare you! How dare you say that to me." You say getting up. "You're really going to bring that up?" You ask.
"Yes! Because I know that you don't love him Y/N. At least not like you love me!" He says getting up too. "I can tell you're just settling with him because of what I did and I'm sorry for that. I beat myself up every day because of it. But I'm back for you because I love you and I'm in love with you and I never stopped. I meant what I said that night. I did, but everything happened so fast. I went that audition and the next thing I know I'm part of something huge and traveling all over the world and I just got lost in it, but never once did I forget about you. There were so many times I just wanted to call and tell you how I felt or come here and tell you, but after a few missed calls I was scared that you hated me, and I just stopped and never called again. That was stupid, I know, but Y/N. I'm asking you right now to just, be with me. I hate seeing you with him because I know you're not happy and I know he can't love you like I do." He says.
"You don't know him! You don't know our relationship. He has never hurt me! Something that you HAVE done." You say yelling at him.
"I know that you have to force a smile when you're with him. I know that he's in love with you more then you are with him." He says. "Have you slept with him yet?" He asks.
"That's none of your business." You say to him.
"I didn't think so. Have you told him yet?" He asks. "Have you told him that the guy you said you weren't very close to or hardly spoken to, the guy who was just your neighbor from back home was your first? Huh?" He asks. "Does he even know that you're not a virgin and that I was the guy who took it." He says angrily.
"STOP IT!" You yell. "Stop it! You have no right to do this. You have no right to say those things. YOU were the one who broke your promises.YOU were the one who never came back and started where we left off. It's YOUR fault that we never got together and now you think that you just waltz back into my life and try to tell me that I'm not happy with my boyfriend. No. You don't get to do that. I waited for you for over 3 years, but no. I finally moved on and starting dating Jace to try and get over you, you don't get to just try and win me back now that it's convenient for you." You cry.
"Fine. You're right. I don't have the right to come back into your life and expect you to be with me and I'm sorry for that, but I know that you still love me, Y/N. I can tell." He whispers moving closer to you. "Kiss me. Just one kiss. Just kiss me one last time and you feel nothing, I'll leave it alone and we'll just be friends." He whispers and puts his hands on your face.
"J-Just one." You whisper. He nods and starts to lean in to kiss you.
You both close your eyes and you feel his lips on yours. You definitely didn't feel anything. You felt everything. It was so weird how after all of this time, you still felt something more then you did the first time you two had kissed after you told him how you felt.
Maybe it was because you were both older now and not the awkward teens you used to be. Maybe it was because you both had these pent up feelings that were finally able to come out. All you knew is that next thing that happened after that just one kiss, was you waking up the next morning in the arms of your old best friend in the middle of the meadow with nothing, but his jacket wrapped between the two of you.
You knew it was wrong because you had a boyfriend, a really good boyfriend, waiting for you back home in London, but it didn't feel wrong in your heart because it finally found it's owner again.
