*Harry's POV*

Her green eyes bore into mine and it was a split second where everything disappeared but sense made it go away.

Her hands in his hair, her lips on his, her hands entwined in his, her smile for him.

Cassandra had been over me after all and had finally made a new life with Ashton. A life where I was only her best friend, practically a brother in the picture.

I pulled away slightly and it seemed like the light in her eyes, that small sparkle had disappeared and replaced by sorrow.

Her eyes glistened with more tears to come and I wanted to wipe it all away. All the tears, whisper to her that it was fine. That it was made to be-Katie and Luke.

I watched as she turned to the happy couple laughing and smiling, with still no clue we were watching. Another tear fell of her angelic features.

I looked at Luke as he hugged Katie in his arms. If only. If only I had a happy ending that Cassie can have a part of. But not just a part, an important part.

As my wife.

I sighed again and put my empty hands in my pocket. What else could I do to keep my temptation of holding her, caressing her.

Cassandra looked at me and I offered a small smile. Tears streamed down her eyes, like a stream of pain. And this time their was no happiness, now there was pain.

I reached for her but she turned away, great. "I'm sorry." she exhaled and turned to run.

Shit.

What did I do wrong now?

"I'm sorry." Her words echoed.

More importantly, what did she do?

*Cassandra's POV*

Everything felt numb as I fled like a wimp. I was so stupid! So utterly naive of my heart! I hate my brain and my conscience! If only I had listened.

If only I could've accepted his apologies and listened to his answers. If only I had waited and stopped being stubborn.

If only.

I ran with the wind blowing my hair away from my face, with the wind sending chills down my legs and arms. I didn't even mind the prickly feeling that I felt on them, and I ran as fast as I could home.

Home. Where I would hide and just repeat what had happened 5 years ago, but this time it wasn't Harry's fault.

It was mine.

I was the one who told him to stay away and to stay behind that brotherly boundary. Now, I pay the price.

Now, as I ran home I felt that newly piece of my heart on the brink of breaking. Just slightly attached, but torn enough to hurt.

"Cassandra!" I heard. Voices yelled and echoed in my head but yet I ran. I ran because it was the only thing I could think of to relieve the pain.

When I was close to my driveway I saw the familiar Toyota and almost smiled.

Mum was home.

I ran to the porch and yanked the front door open, yanked it as if it depended on my life. I walked in the house, shoes wet from the grass, and with, no doubt, messy hair, messy face, and a messy situation.
