Don't Forget Where You Belong (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 31

Ashford's POV

------------------------

"It's ok." I tell him as he hugs me tighter. It's getting strange around her. Like, I don't know, but Harry and I are in a sort of awkward start of a relationship. I'm not going to count it as one, because he hasn't admitted it.

I pull away from the hug in a small jerk, as my thoughts control me. Telling me, we're not in a relationship.

I've never been so easy going with relationships. I don't know why Harry changes that in me. I've always been cautious, and strong.

Harry awkwardly shifts away as soon as I slightly jerked from his arms. He walks back into the kitchen as I rush straight to the bathroom and begin whispering to myself.

"I need to get my head straight. This is crazy.. I'm losing my will-power. I don't know how I'm going to handle this. I mean Harry's cute, and his accent is totally ADORBS!" I squeal.

"Oh my god. I just said that out loud," I cover my mouth "Why am I even whispering to myself? Is this even normal? Am I even normal? Why the heck am I staring at myself in the mirror as I talk to myself?...I love him!" I begin to laugh loudly.

A knock on the bathroom door, shuts me up quick.

"Are you alright in there?" Niall asks from the other side of the door.

"umm.. yeah!" I respond swinging open the door.

"I could hear you from my room." Niall informs me.

"Oops. Sorry" I apologize, feeling my cheeks heat up.

"It's alright."

"I guess I got a bit carried away.. haha."

"Who were you talking to?" he asks me looking past my shoulder.

"um.. my..self..haha."

"You were talking to yourself?!" Louis laughs hard as he walks past the bathroom.

What an eavesdropper.

I stay frozen in embarrassment laughing a little.

"So, what were you talking about or shall I ask whom?" Louis smirks.

"Uh...haha..I.. nobody. I was talking to myself about me." I stutter.

"So, you love yourself?" Louis questions.

Crap. He heard me. Ugh.

"Lay off her Lou!" Harry yells from the living room.

If I was that loud, I wonder if Harry heard me! I hope not.

I walk out of the bathroom, and head towards the kitchen, where Harry and Liam are. I heard them talking. So, I decided to listen from the living room.

"She's perfect. She's all I ever wanted." Harry says to Liam.

"I don't know, Harry. I don't think it's a good idea yet." Liam responds.

"I'm going to ask her." Harry responds.

"Fine."

"Why are you against it anyways? I need your advice, Liam. You've been in a relationship way longer than anyone here."

"I'm against it, because she seems to be a great person, and the last girl you were with; you took advantage of her." Liam tells Harry.

"I don't love her!" Harry begins to yell.

"You just told me, you did!" Liam fires back.

"No, I didn't! I don't love Ashford.. " Harry yells as I gasp, causing them to stop talking. I swiftly head over to their outside balcony connected to the living room.

I need air.

----Harry'sPOV-------------

"I don't love her!" I yell.

"You just told me, you did!" Liam fires back.

"No, I didn't! I don't love Ashford.. " I yell back, hearing a gasp from the living room. I turn around, and a flash of long brown hair is all I see. Ashford. I'm an idiot.

"There she goes." Liam whispers in shock.

"This is all your fault! If you just agreed with me, there would be no issues!" I yell at Liam.

"Said the man who asked for advice!" Liam fires.

He's right, but I'm not going to admit that to him. I ignore him, and head straight out to the living room to find where she went. I then spot her on the balcony with Zayn. Why can't he just stay away?! God!

I slide open the glass door to the balcony, and step outside with the two of them.

"Ash.." I begin as she cuts me off.

"No! No! Go away!" she yells.

"I'm Sorr.." I begin again, but she cuts me off again.

"Don't you dare try that again! I won't let you! Leave!" she yells and heads inside.

-------------Ashford's POV-----------

I head inside, and he follows me. This is too much.

"Let me finish!" Harry begins to yell.

"Finish what?! Your same old bullshit of an apology!" I scream and race out the door.

"Ashford!" he yells behind me as I take the stairs; climbing down them as fast as possible. I need to get away. I can't take this strange feeling anymore. The fact that I thought he loved me was stupid. I have never been so naive in my life. Josh struggled hard to get to me, because I wouldn't even hug him until a year and a half after knowing him. My parents done well with me. I don't know why Harry is so different. It's as if I've known him longer than Josh.

When I make it to the bottom of the stairs; thoughts racing through my mind as I hear Harry yelling my name, and coming down the stairs. I head straight outside, and run out of the apartment complex. It begins to rain, and its pitch dark out here. Glad I wore my converse today!

As I keep running down the side walk, Harry's voice fades. I slow down, and begin to walk at my normal pace.

It so dark out here, and the storm is making it harder to see. I look around for a place to stay. None that I can see in the distance. I can barely see. There's no lamp post; only a hedge as far as my eye can see. As I walk along the wet side walk, I end up thinking about what just happened in the past ten minutes, and tears begin rolling down my cheek seconds later.

I'm scared and alone. I'm not heading back. I can't. I finally see what looks to be a park with a bench under a tree. I decide not to take it for the night. I'm too afraid.

Hours later...

I'm exhausted, and I think I learned my lesson. Next time there's a bench. TAKE IT!

Luckily, I find another bench on the side walk, and decide to take it. My body is so sore from walking. I have no choice, but to take it. I lay down on the bench, and begin to fall asleep.

As soon as my eyes shut, a hand covers my mouth with a cloth. I begin to scream and kick. I have swooned; but still will not say that all of consciousness was lost.
