Dreaming Wide Awake

Chapter 10: An Old Friend (Kayla&Harry's POV)

"Courtney! Come back!" Harry shouted chasing after her.

I looked over at Gabbi, the girl who just walked in, and she looked back at me. 

"Gabbi, what was all that about?" I questioned.

"What? Did I do something wrong?" She answered in an innocent tone. "Okay.. I admit what I did was wrong but I mean come on guys aren't you tired of Harry bringing a different girl backstage everynight. I swear they get worse every time."

"Gabbi, Harry really actually liked this one and she liked him." 

"Of course she did Kayla. He's Harry Styles! He's rich, famous, hot, and in a band!"

"She didn't know that when she first met him. She just found out tonight. She's from America."

"Oh... Well that sucks."

"Yeah just a little."

I looked over at the boys. They looked frightened. Liam got up out of his seat and walked over to me. He kissed me on the forehead and whispered in my ear. "I'm gonna go check on Harry." I nodded and then turned back around. 

"So.. uhhh. Gabbi what movie were you gonna take us to see tonight?" Louis asked trying to change the subject.

"Well I was going to make it a suprise Lou."

"Ohh goody I love suprises!" Niall expressed with excitement.

I rolled my eyes and walked out of the dressing room. I looked down the hall. Harry was up against the wall talking to Liam. He looked upset. I glanced down the other side of the hallwayit was empty. How could Courtney have gotten away so fast? I walked over to Harry and Liam.

"Is everything OK?" I asked sympathetically.

"No." Harry kept his reply very short.

"What happened? Did you catch Courtney?"

"Yeah I caught her just in time for her to turn around and tell me she never wanted to see me again."

"Oh my gosh Harry I'm so sorry!"

"Do you wanna know what made it worse? ...... She was crying. She turned around and looked at me with those beautiful eyes and then a tear rolled down her face. It started to get worse. And then do you wanna know what she said next. I tried to touch her and she shoved me away. She looked me dead in the eye and said "Harry I never want to see you again. You may play every other girl here. But you will never play me because I won't give you the chance. Don't contact me. Because this little games of yours is over!" Harry's face tightened as he managed to get those words out.

I didn't know what to say to him. All I could do was hug him. He had fallen head over heels for this girl and it was over in a split second. I looked up at Liam who was standing on the other side of Harry. I mouthed the words to him. "Keep him company. I'm gonna see if I can find Courtney." He nodded as I got up from Harry's side. I continued down the hallway and saw an Exit door. I made my way to it and opened it. Courtney was standing outside on the phone. I quietly closed the door and waited for her to get off.

"I know it's late but Andrew if there is anyway you coulld get me a ride I would greatly-"

"I can give you a ride." I said softly as Courtney turned around shocked.

"Andrew I'll call you back." She hung up the phone. Her face full of tears. "How did you find me?"

"It wasn't hard you're standing right outside of the nearest exit door."

"I guess that makes sense."

"Can we take a walk?"

"Yeah I guess I could use some air."

Harry's POV:

"Courtney come back!" I shouted as I chased after her.

She finally stopped. "Can I please talk to you? Courtney please just spare me a minute."

She turned aroound and looked at me her eyes slowly glistening as they filled with tears. I reached my arm out to pull her in for a hug and she pushed me away. Her face grew with anger as she looked me in the eyes. "Harry I never want to see you again. You may play every other girl here. But you will never play me because I won't give you the chance. Don't contact me. Because this little games of yours is over!" She whipped around and started to walk off.

"Courtney! Stop! Please!"

"I'm done Harry! Now leave me alone." She yelled disappearing around the corner.

I clenched my fist as my body filled with anger. I was so angry I turned around and punched the wall as hard as I could. I probably broke some bones but it was the least of my concern! When I looked up I saw Liam walking towards me. "Harry are you okay?"

"I'm fine Liam. Just dandy. I just stood here and watched the girl of my dreams storm off and I did nothing about it. I didn't even try to stop her. What kind of person am I?"

"A wonderful person Harry don't let this one thing bring you down. Just give her some time. That's all she needs."

"Yeah I guess. It's just so hard."

I looked up and noticed Kayla walking in our direction.
