Taylor's POV

When he kissed back, I felt my knees went weak and the emotions inside me got all mixed up. Anger, Betrayal, Disappointment, and most especially Heartbreak. I could feel something inside be breaking, the way that your chest tightens and you're already panting and breathing heavily.

I covered my mouth with my lips and I was already in the brink of tears. I pursed my lips that was still covered by my hand, trying to suppress the tears from spilling and coming out.

I can't see them together like this, I needed to get out of here. I can't see them, especially Harry.

"Taylor, we should leave." Zayn said and grabbed my free hand and led me towards the exit. Leaving the crowd behind.

"We're going to your dorm, alright?" He asked softly as he placed his arm around my shoulder.

I couldn't respond to him right now, not when I can't even speak a single word as I'll probably stutter. Instead of replying, I gave him a short nod.

I removed my hand over my mouth, and took a deep breath since I had been struggling to keep my breathing steady. I closed my eyes for a second and just processed what just happened in the party.

We finally reached my dorm and I opened my eyes, while Zayn opened the door with his free hand while his other one was supporting me since I could barely keep it up all together.

Zayn guided me towards the bed and I sat there, still shaken up. Zayn closed the door and sat next to me and rubbed small circles on my back.

"Is it alright if I stay here to comfort you for the night? It's okay if you want me to leave, I understand. I'll give you some space."

"No, um.. it's alright. I need someone to talk to about what just happened."

To be honest, I'm grateful to have someone like Zayn. Even at the hardest if times, he'll be there to support you and guide you all the way. And what he's doing for me right now, the way that he rubbed small circles around my back and he led me towards my dorm was more than what I could've asked for.

"I saw Kendall kissed him.. and he kissed back." Zayn said.

"I know, and honestly that's what hurts the most. He kissed her back. Shouldn't he pulled away?" I asked my voice almost cracking by the end of my sentence.

"He should've. But, Taylor.. what happens tomorrow when he asks you for another chance?"

"I-I just don't know what to do."

"Zayn, he promised me that he'll change. He promised that we'll have a more stable and a better relationship. But I counted on that promise, I expected too much from that promise. I was stupid enough to believe. I easily fell into his charms. If I hadn't expected too much, if I hadn't counted on too much from his promises. Maybe I won't be like this, maybe I wouldn't be a mess right now.. I should've seen it coming." I said, letting it all out.

After saying what's been going in my mind, I tried to hold back the tears from escaping. But I couldn't hold it back anymore, a tear escaped from my eye and rolled down on my cheek.

"Tay, don't blame it on yourself. He promised, didn't he? And promises are supposed to be done and not be broken. It's not your fault for expecting him to fulfill his promise. In fact, it's his fault for breaking it. He shouldn't make any promises if he knew he couldn't even do it." He advised.

I thought about what he said. Harry made a promise, and I remembered one of his promises. He promised that if he ever breaks my heart again, he'll let me go. And honestly,  I'm just tired of all of this. I'm tired of expecting but nothing ever happens, I'm tired of being in a relationship that's not even stable, and I'm tired of broken promises.

"I also remember that he promised me that, if he breaks my heart.. He'll let me go."

"He'll let you go but Taylor, what if he asks for your forgiveness? What if he takes you back again, will you go?"

"Honestly Zayn, I'm just tired from all of this. Counting on promises, and being in a relationship that might not even last. So to answer your question, no." I said sternly.

I wiped the tears from my cheeks with the back of my hand and I regained my composure. It's time for myself to be more stern. I shouldn't be crying over a guy. There's many people out there whose losing love ones and have bigger problems than this. Plus, it's like what Zayn said, it's not my fault that he broke his promise. And it's not my fault that he just lost me.

"So, you're saying that you won't come back to him. You won't give him another chance?"

"I already gave him a second chance didn't I? And I think he likes Kendall now, so if he's happy with her.. then I won't stop him. If that's what makes him happy then I'll gladly set him free." I said, giving a small smile to Zayn.

"You're right and clever at the same time. God, I can't believe Harry's going to lose someone like you."

"It's not my fault isn't?"

"Definitely not." He said and I let out a soft chuckle.

"Hey, you're already laughing. Thank god, I already miss that laugh and smile of yours."

"I've been laughing with you in the party for the whole night and you already miss it?" I asked, regaining my normal tone and composure. And I was already back to my usual self.

"Yep, I'd like to see that smile of yours every second of the day. And I'd hate to see it if that smile is gone even if it's only a second away."

"God, just a minute ago I'm being emotional and now I'm already smiling because of you."

"Wow, I-I'm glad I'm the reason behind your smile. So.. um if Harry comes and says he's sorry, what would you do?"

"I'll say he can say sorry to himself that this relationship between us is over." I said, almost confidently.

"Im guessing that you're done with Harry. Meaning, no more broken promises?"

"Yep, no more of that. I'm done with it." I said, partly laughing.

I guess this means I'll be moving on with my life without Harry, because.. I'm done with it.
