There she was, standing before Harry and I with her arms crossed. She looked beyond upset. "What that hell is she doing here?" I look at Harry expecting him to say something, anything... but he doesn't.

"I think I need to go," I tell Harry. I don't think he was listening though. Why was she here? Why didn't he tell her to go?

I start walking away, I refused to cry. I knew what I was getting myself into, why did I let it go this far. Once I was out of the gates I called Noah. "Pick me up," is all I said. I was about a couple blocks from Harry's house when I saw Noah's car. I got in and was glad it was just Noah.

"What happened?" He asked me. I shook my head, I didn't want to answer. We got to the house and everyone was in the living room watching a movie. I went straight to my room.

I hear a soft knock minuets later. "Come in," I say softly. "What happened?" It was Georgia, I let out a long sigh. "We got pizza and went to his house and Madison was there," I tell her. My heart hurt a little more hearing that come out of my mouth.

Then just like rain I started pouring out everything. From the moment I met harry until now. Georgia listened to everything and hugged me every once in awhile.

The next day was Christmas Eve, also it was Louis' birthday. Noah had woke up early the next day and make breakfast for him. Then we all woke up to sing happy birthday to Louis. Harry has texted me saying we needed to meet up and talk about yesterday.

That's where I was now, Harry's place. I was currently waiting in his dining room. There seemed to be no sign of Madison.

"Ms. Caster," I turned around and saw Harry. He never called me that... "Mr. Styles," I said right back with a funny tone. "I'm not joking around."

I couldn't read his body language, what was wrong? "We are done." What? "What?" "We had nothing going on, so I don't understand why you're upset. You were just another girl, did you really think you were so special? Madison is my wife. She told me that she is staying home permanently." "Harry..." I was only interrupted. "It's Mr. Styles."

"You are a real douche you know that? You are such a pathetic coward! You don't love her and you know that. You are just to scared to break it off and move on! You are scared of change! She is using you, she is using your money! She is a fucking gold digger!" I shout at him completely angry.

"And your not?" I couldn't even process that. I slapped him in the face, "Enjoy your pathetic life dumbass. I hope you figure out what Madison wants with you before you run out of money." A few tears escaped my eyes. "What are you crying about?" He snickered. "Because I was so dumb that I started falling for you even when I knew it was wrong." I began walking away.

"You knew I was married when we started this." I ignored him and walked out of the house. Goodbye Harry.

On my drive home I couldn't stop crying. Why was I so stupid? Upon my arrival at my apartment Noah had given me a big hug. He didn't let me go. I stood there crying into his shoulder. Eventually Louis spoke up.

"I know harry is an asshole but it is my birthday... I think we should put a pin in this and come back to it later." Noah glared at Louis. Before Noah could say anything to Louis I spoke up.

"I agree with Louis, I'm done crying over Harry." I wiped away any stray tears I had. "You know what makes me feel better after a breakup?" Georgia asks. "What?" She lets out s giggle, "Ice Cream!"

Lottie interrupts with a groan, "No the best way is to light his shit on fire!" "Lottie!" Louis exclaims. "Sorry I mean crap," she says rolling her eyes.

"I kinda like that idea, honestly." Noah started shaking his head. "We are not setting the house on fire. We don't have a fireplace."

"I know someone who does," I say with a smile.

An hour later I'm knocking at Noah's parents house with Noah, Louis, and Louis sisters with me. I had all of Harry's stuff in a box that Lottie insisted on carrying.

"Hello?" Mr. Castle answered the door. "Hey dad, I need to barrow the fireplace." I tell him, he moves over and I drag Lottie to the fireplace in the living room. I hear Noah talking to his parents and telling them what happened. Then I hear Louis introduce his sisters.

"Holy hell," Lottie says looking at their enormous Christmas tree next to the fireplace. Lottie continues looking around as I get the fire started. "Noah told me what happened," I hear Mrs. Castle say. I force myself not to cry right now.

"You like the place?" She changes the subject. "Do I like it? I love it!" I hear Lottie say full of excitement. "I was expecting you all tomorrow but I guess tonight is fine!"

"Sorry," I say looking at her. "You are perfectly fine, Mary. It's your home as well. Are you guys going to stay the night?"

"That's up to Louis," Noah says. "Happy birthday! We got you a gift, I was gonna give it to you tomorrow but since your here." I hear Mrs. Castle scramble to the tree and pull out a gift. There were already several gifts under the tree. Phoebe sat beside me as I watched the fire. "Are you ready?" She asked me, her voice rang through my head. "I think so," I tell her. The first item I pull out of the box is a sweater of Harry's. The one I wore that night.

I threw it in first and watched it burn. Next was a CD that he had given me the day we went to the zoo. I threw away the picture strips we took at the zoo as well. I wanted to get rid of any trance I had of Harry. I wanted to get rid of any memory I had off him.
