Tessa's POV
I was so happy. We were so happy. We were picnicking in Central Park on a warm day at the beginning of Spring. We were just chatting, laughing and talking about our future in a way we had never done before. I got curious but also very excited, of course. He had been my boyfriend for the past 3 years now. So when He pulled something out of the inside of his jacket, I immediately knew. And before he asked, I answered.
"Yes." I smiled. My heart glowed. I had found my future. I was sure of it.
But that was then and this is now.
Present.
Liz's POV
I couldn't believe it. My best friend. My brother's girlfriend. Ex-girlfriend I suppose.
After what feels like an hour, they notice me. She notices me and climbs off his lap.
"Liz, I'm so sorry. Louis was just comforting me and next thing I know.." She rambles.
"Save it." I snap and turn on my heel. I walk out of the door, pretending to be calm. I'm burning inside. The betrayal. She better not follow me after this.
"Liz, wait!" She screams from behind me. I stop walking and turn around to face her.
"What could you possibly want to say after this? He was my brother's best friend and you were his girlfriend and.." I don't even know were I want to go with this. It's too much, especially too much after having a few sips of alcohol.
"Listen to me." She begs. Her cheeks are stained with tears and she looks so sad. I know she's sad but still. I can't control myself.
"I don't have to listen to you. My brother's body isn't even cold yet and here you are, fucking around with his best friend!" I yell and I hear her gasp at my hard words. She deserves it.
I start running, as hard as I can. I need to get out of this house. I need to get away from these people. I push everyone aside who crosses my path on my way to home. Once I'm outside I take a look at my phone. 05:35 A.M.
Shit. I should've been home two hours ago. My mom's probably worried sick right now.
I need to find a way home, I can't stay here. I came with Tessa but that's not an option anymore. I scream out my frustration and try to think. I snap out of my thoughts as soon as I hear footsteps.
"Lost?" He asks. I turn around to face him and can't ignore the way his eyes are glowing in the dark.
"No Harry, I am not lost and I certainly do not need your company right now." I snap at him, hoping that he would just go away.
He shrugs and I see him walking towards a black car. Did he get a car in the last two months? Are you absolutely kidding me.
"Is that your car?" I ask him, shocked by my own question. What would I care?
"Sure is. You need a ride?"
No, I don't.
And yet, I nod my head in agreement and walk towards the car.
The ride home is quiet.
"You still know where I live?" I ask him to be sure.
"It's only been two months Liz." He says. I can see a glimpse of sadness in his eyes before. No, that couldn't be. He was never sorry.
"I heard you screaming at the party." He says.
"So?"
"I just wanted to see if everything's alright?"
"It's not your concern anymore so drop it." I snap.
When we finally reach my house, I jump out of the car without saying anything. I don't need to be grateful to him. He doesn't deserve it.
I grab my pajamas and wash off my make-up before crawling into bed.
This night has been terrible. School starts two hours and that means I only have an hour or so to sleep. I look at my phone and see a missed call from Ash and several texts from Tessa. I ignore all of them.
All of them.
Harry's POV
I see her walking towards her house, her long dark hair pulled up in a ponytail. I felt sad when I looked into her eyes. Her once beautiful grey eyes had lost their spark, their fire.
I know I was an ass for leaving her this summer. She needed me. But I couldn't be there for her.
It's better this way. She hates me for cheating on her. She doesn't want to talk to me and that's fine. It makes things easier.
For me at least.
I know I'm an selfish asshole for lying to her about my cheating. But she wouldn't pull away. She had to pull away and she wanted to fight for us. For me.
I could never cheat on her. Never in my right mind would I even consider that. I loved her.
I love her.
And when you love someone, You let them go.
