So Far Away [H.S]

Chapter 3

"Are you actually going?!"Harry boomed as he stormed into the lounge.
"Yes Harry,I am going,"I hissed as I struggled with my boots.

I eventually had to tell Harry that I have dinner plans with Niall.And as expected,Harry lost it and has been going on about it for the past half an hour."You are unbelievable Grace,you know that!Absolutely unbelievable!"He three his hands up in the air dramatically.

Harry you are being a drama queen for nothing!

"I'm the one that's unbelievable?"I shot up."Im not the one freaking out for the past half and hour just because my girlfriend has dinner plans with her best friend!"I hissed."Well maybe my girlfriend should take the time to realize that her boyfriend just got home and she should spend her time with him."

This is Harry.This is who he is!Harry is the possessive type.When I say possessive I don't mean the crazy obsessive type,I mean the type that needs attention,he needs you to spend time almost all of your time with him.
My mind and heart has already gone to war about this-whether to go or not,and after hours of overthinking I've come to the conclusion that I'm going,whether that means Harry's happy about it or not!

"Stop acting like you came home an hour ago Harry,you've been home at least 3 days and I've spent all my time with you!"

"All your time,"he towered over me. "What about April and Chase?"

"Are you freaking kidding me Harry?It was 15 minutes!"This is why his mood changed when they came?

"You didn't seem to mind and spend time with me last night when it benefited you!"he pointed."But now that you got what you wanted,you'd rather spend your time with 'him' than me!Your own boyfriend!"he spat like it was venom.Refusing to even say his name.

"Don't go on like it was only for me.Sex takes 2 people Harry!"I wouldn't let him get to me."And 'he' has a name."I shouted.Referring to Niall.

I always knew Harry wasn't too fond of my friends.Especially Niall.He could still tolerate April to a certain point.I wasn't sure if it was the fact that Niall was a guy or the fact that Niall and I got along perfectly.We've only had an actual fight about my friends the second last New Years when Harry wanted us to spend New Years Eve alone and I wanted to spend it with my friends and family.

Harry's more of a loner,and I'm more of a peoples person,which I can deal with most of the time,so I expect him to do the same."I'm not going to have an affair with some random gu-"

"No!Just the guy who plays the biggest role in your life!"he cut me off before I had the chance to finish my sentence. "The same guy you're spending all your time with."

"I can't do this!"I threw my hands on my head."We are going in circles!"

Calm down Grace.

"I have friends Harry,"I pulled on a decent coat,"and I'm going out to dinner with my best friend."I held my stern voice.Harry needs to get this through his head,I leave him alone when he wants to venture about."You want to leave?"his voice went soft and he looked down.

He laughed at himself,and then he looked up.The only color I could see in his eyes was anger."You want to leave so badly Grace,"he rushed before me and grabbed both my arms."Then go!"

I will.

I chose to ignore the growing pain in my arms from Harry's firm grip.

"And don't bother coming back!"I couldn't help the tears that fell.I didn't know if it was anger,sadness or confusion that caused me to break.I felt like a little girl who's father disowned her after she had done something terribly wrong.Although this was nothing like that,it was just his anger talking.I spent enough time with Harry to know when he means something and when he doesn't.But are you so sure?

Harry has a temper.

Harry looked shocked at his own words.I used the opportunity to free myself and fiercely wiped my tears and grabbed my phone sitting on the kitchen counter,and headed straight for the door,I turned only my head to face Harry who had stopped in the passage,
"Bye Harry."

~~~
I waited outside outside the lobby.I looked up at the gloomy sky and cursed."Looking beautiful Grace." Niall commented as he kissed my hand.I smiled as I greeted and got into the back seat of the car,sitting next to Niall.

Why are you wearing a jeans,coat and boots?!You could have at least put more effort.

I ignored my subconscious as it tried to make me feel insecure.I wasn't weak, anyone would feel intimidated by Niall's dressing.He managed to make wearing Armani head to toe look completely casual.

A quiet Chinese dinner with my best friend is what I had planned.But Niall seemed to have other plans as the driver pulled up at 'Lincoln Alfosi Ristorante'-Fancy Italian restaurant.
Usually I wouldn't mind and would have jumped to the opportunity of doing anything crazy of fancy.But I just didn't feel like it today.

"You could have warned me not to dress like a hobo."I shoved Niall before getting out of the car,Niall responded with was a deep laugh.Even his laugh carried his Irish accent proudly.I looked straight into his eyes.They were so blue.Clear and genuine.Just like Niall.

You see,Niall is my best friend along with April.April is a childhood best friend that has stuck with me since we were both put in the 'naughty corner' in kindergarten.I had put all my finger paint on the walls.And April had cut up her clothes because she didn't find them pretty.We were partners in crime since 4 years old.

I only met Niall once I decided to move to LA.Niall just happened to be one of the very few people I 'clicked' with.And I was still relatively new to the industry, and Niall was just starting out as a singer himself,so we decided it would be easier to figure things out the whole Hollywood thing together.So here we are,6 years,and many broken hearts later.

Niall had to drag me into the modern glass design restaurant.The Italian decor covering the walls and ceilings was absolutely gorgeous.The same went for all the people dining,dressed in the finest of clothes,talking and laughing their evening away.Only the richest of New York and a few loaded tourists.

Niall grabbed my hand as we greeted our waiter at the front door,
"Reservation for Horan,"

"Sí signore.This way."

"We will be right back,you can bring the food when we sit."

"Sí"

I gave Niall and the waiter a confused look as my best friend pulled me to the middle of the restaurant.
