Fifth Harmony One Shots

Scared of Happy (Ally/You)

Y/N's POV

I was at Ally's house, and we were hanging out on the couch. She was cuddled into my side as we watched a movie. Ally and I have been best friends for a while now, but recently, something had changed between us. I don't know what it is, but it's something.

" Can I tell you something?" Ally asked suddenly breaking me out of my thoughts. I paused the movie and looked down at her. She turned to lay down across my legs.

" Sure, Allycat. What is it?" I asked her. She seemed to be nervous about whatever it is that she wanted to tell me.

" There's something that I've wanted to tell you for a while, but I just haven't been able to tell you." She said to me, and I furrowed my eyebrows at her.

" What is it?" I asked her, and she sighed to herself.

" I like you, Y/N. I like you more than friends, but I didn't want to tell you in fear of ruining our friendship." She said to me, and I frowned at the confession. I shook my head and stood up from the couch. I looked back at her as she sat up and looked at me with hurt in her eyes.

" You can't like me, Ally. You know I'm not looking to date anyone again." I said to her, and she sighed.

" I know you've been hurt in past relationships, but I would never do that to you. You know that. I think you like me to, but you're scared. You don't have to be scared with me." She said to me, and I shook my head.

" I can't." I said to her, and I saw tears building in her eyes. I hated to make her cry, but I can't be in a relationship. I slowly backed out of the room and left the house. I got into my car and sat down in it for a while.

I never wanted to hurt Ally. I don't think I can be in another relationship. The truth is that I really like Ally as well. I have for a while now, but I don't act on those feelings because I'm scared to be in another relationship. All I've ever gotten from relationships is heartbreak.

I can't help but think that if I decide to date Ally, everything will go wrong. What if we end badly and we can't be friends anymore? I can't lose Ally.

Whenever I'm with her, I feel nervous even if we have been friends for a while. She makes me nervous and happy. I love when I get to spend my days with her, I love it when she smiles, I love making her happy, and I love her cooking. I love everything about her. She's such a ray of sunshine, and she can always brighten my day even when I'm feeling sad.

I sighed to myself when I realized I left my best friend in there sad because I'm scared. I don't know why I'm scared of happy. Why am I so afraid to be happy? I used to be fearless, but I'm not anymore. The truth is that my past relationships have given me trust issues in relationships and I find it hard to trust people easily. I know deep down that Ally would never do to me what happened in my past relationships. I slowly got out of my car and walked back to the door. I opened it slowly and walked to the living room where Ally was sitting on the couch crying to herself. The sight broke my heart seeing as Ally is always happy and that I'm the one who caused her tears. I slowly walked over to the couch and sat beside Ally. She didn't look up at me as I sat down and both of us stayed silent. I stared at the floor, and she did as well. I heard her sniffle and saw her wiping her tears.

" I'm sorry, Ally. I didn't mean to make you cry. I hate when you cry. A girl as beautiful as you shouldn't be sad." I said to her. She turned to me with red, watery eyes and my face softened. I lifted my hand and gently wiped the tears from her eyes with the pad of my thumb. She leaned into my palm and closed her eyes.

" Do you want to know the truth Ally?" I asked her, and she looked up at me and tilted her head a little. She looked like an adorable puppy.

" Please." She said, and I took a deep breath to calm my nerves.

" The truth is, I really like you Ally. I haven't been able to admit it to myself because I'm scared. I'm scared to be in a relationship because all of mine have been bad." I said to her, and I could see her eyes brighten at my confession. She leaned forward and grabbed both of my hands in her and squeezed them.

" I would never do what they did to you, Y/N. They didn't deserve you." Ally said to me, and I gave her a small smile.

" I know you wouldn't Ally but that fear is always there in the back of my mind, and I can't make it go..." I started, but Ally cut me off by pressing her lips against mine. I didn't kiss back at first as my body tensed, but then I decided just to let go and enjoy the feel of her lips against mine. Our lips moved together, and I felt the butterflies in my stomach. Her lips were incredibly soft. When we ran out of breath, we pulled away, but we kept our foreheads together. I looked at her, and she smiled. I smiled back at her and pulled away slightly.

" I've wanted to do that for a while now." She said, and I laughed slightly.

" So have I." I answered her, and she smiled even wider at my response. It was silent between for a while as we just stared at each other. As I stared into her eyes, I realized that this is what I want.

" Even though the thought of being in another relationship scares, I want this Ally. I want to be with you and to give this a chance." I said to her, and her whole face lit up. She leaned in and kissed me again causing me to laugh.

" Just promise me one thing." I said to her, and she nodded.

" Of course, what is it?." She asked me.

" Promise me that if anything happens and this doesn't work out, you'll still be around. Promise me we will still be friends even if us being in a relationship doesn't work out." I said to her, and she smiled.

" I promise you that we will always be friends no matter what. I also promise that I will never do any of the things that they did to you. I promise I will treat you like you deserve to be treated." She said to me and I teared up a little. I initiated the kiss this time, and she smiled into the kiss. When we pulled away, we both just stared into each other's eyes.

She cuddled into my side, and I hugged her close to me. I hope this all works out because I really like Ally and I don't want our relationship to turn out bad. She's so special, and she deserves the world, and I will try to give it to her. For once, I need to ignore the fear and be happy. I think the fear will always be in the back of my mind, but I'm not going to let it control me anymore. I'm tired of being scared of happy.
