Ellie's POV

My uneven teeth-cut nails hit the food court table rhythmically as I looked at Aspen. Looks of hatred mixed in with confusion. She was speaking passionately about the length of her hair, her stupidity astounds me.

I honestly heard nothing but muffled noises and squeals. Perhaps because my mind was so set on trying to figure this all out. Why would she lie? I felt anger bottle up in my system. My hands clenching together, jaw tightening up. I wanted to say something.. I had to say something.

"So Harry said he gave no permission for you to stay over."

I said spontaneously cutting her off mid-sentence

"Which is funny considering you clearly stated he did"

Her facial expression changed so quickly it was nearly humorous. I watched as her porcelain coloured skin turned to a light pink. I could tell by the look on her face she was wondering how I figured out and trying to put together an excuse.

"How do you know that?" She spat out. ( Legitimately I felt the beads of saliva unpleasantly rain down on my face )

"Harry told me. Now I'm going to ask you again, why the hell did you stay over at my house?" I said standing up.

I regretted those words the minute they slipped out of my mouth. I watched as they hit Aspen like gun shots. The only thing was, she want fragile. She was a deflector. I bit my lip quivering slightly as she stood up. I stood at 5'3 and at 5'9 she towered over me.

She leaned in to the point that I could smell her poisonous perfume.

"Oh Ellie dear" she said mischievously, adding a playful tone to her words.

"I don't believe you know exactly who I am. I suggest you go talk to Harry" She smiled.

Then just like that, she picked up her purse and walked away.

Harry's POV

I dove into my couch taking a deep breath. Today has ought to be one of the longest days I've endured ever.

"ELLIE!" I yelled hoping she could hear me, considering there were a sea of pillows above me.

My body came to relax as I heard footsteps walk down the stairs.

"Haz?" She replied.

Her voice sounded so calming. Like a nature soundtrack they played at salons. I peeked open my eyes to see her standing beside the couch. Her dark brown hair left down and natural, she had on a white muscle tee and light wash ripped denim jeans. Around her neck hung several necklaces she's collected from across the world. Africa, Europe, Asia.. But none of that is what caught my eye.

What kept me staring at her was her facial expression. It was one far too familiar to me for my liking, her upset face.

"What's wrong?" I asked getting up.

"And before you say nothing, I'd prefer if you wouldn't lie. Because frankly I asked that question so I could help you, not so I could be mislead."

She smiled which lifted my spirit, but didn't take away my concern.

"How do you and Aspen know each other?" She said with a shake in her voice.

My heart sank.

In full honesty after Ellie came back I completely forgot that Aspen was ever in my life. But as those toxic words spilled from her mouth flashbacks of the past months filled my mind.

Those nights I spent intoxicated trying to deal with the pain and Aspen comforting me, the days I stayed in bed crying and Aspen holding me telling me I could make it through. It wasn't an irregular thing for me to tell her I loved her, but as soon as I saw Ellie in the airport it's like I was brainwashed.

Like the love I had for Ellie over powered the love I had for Aspen. The only thing is I didn't tell Aspen yet.. I haven't told Ellie yet either.

She looked at me tears building up in her eyes.

With a slight shake in my voice I made it out.

"Aspen is my girlfriend"
