Be My Kryptonite.

Don't Drag It Out

Harry's POV

One week. That's all the time I have to make her want to stay. I have to prove to her that we can work it all out and things could go back to how they used to be. I don't think she will change her mind though and that kills me. I'm not good at hiding my emotions so I'm sure she can tell that I'm not myself and that I'm worried and upset. It's been three days since we talked about everything, it was awkward at first but things are basically back to normal now. We've been having a really good time and I've been spending every second I can with her. She knows I'm really trying to make this work but I just don't know if it's going to.

Nicole's POV

Harry has really been trying to do anything he can to make me want to stay but that's not the problem. I do want to stay, the problem is that I don't think I can stay. It''s hard to explain to him or anyone for that matter and he's just not getting it, no one is. I love him to death and that's why it's so hard. So I guess I should just enjoy these last few days with him.

The boys didn't have a show today so we decided to all go out to dinner and relax tonight. We went to a really fancy Italian restaurant that was really good. We had just gotten back to the hotel, the boys were tired and had a busy day tomorrow so they all went in to go to sleep. Harry and I went into our room, I was laying down on the couch watching TV.

"Finally alone" Harry smirked as he walked over to the couch, I smiled at him. "I love you Nicole" he leaned over me and kissed me. "I love you too." He reached his arms around me and picked me up, carrying me over to the bed. "Harry, put me down!" I giggled as he threw me onto the bed. "I did, I did!" He laughed and jumped on top of me, "I've missed you babe" he said in between kisses. He pulled my shirt off and rolled over.

~~

"Bye babe, call me later. I love you." He kissed me on my forehead and headed out of the room. It was early, the boys had a bunch of interviews to do today before the show so they had to get an early start. Ava had come down yesterday so I was going to just go hangout and do some shopping while Harry was busy all day. I jumped into the shower and got ready.

It was around 10am when I met up with Ava, we figured we would go grab something for breakfast and then head out to the shops downtown.

Being able to finally talk to Ava about everything without worrying someone will hear was nice. I needed to talk to her about what's been going on. She was my best friend, she always helped me get through everything so I'm sure she'll let me know if she thinks I'm doing the wrong thing.

We were walking around the town going in and out of stores, shopping. Ava and I haven't talked about what's been going on with Harry and I. "So do you think your going to leave after this week is over?" She asked me, trying to avoid any eye contact. "I don't know" I said quietly as we walked into another little shop. "I think you're lying to yourself and me, you've known since he asked you to give him a week, that you were still going to leave. I've known you for forever and I know how you think. You've made up your mind, you did when you wrote the letter, when he showed up it just delayed it" she looked over at me, "you know it as well as I do." She was right, "I know." I looked down at the ground. "So then what's going to happen after you leave? You're obviously going to move out since he lives in the building next to us." 

"Yeah, I'm going to find a small apartment somewhere in London and just keep my distance from all of them." I felt like I was leaving Ava behind but she had Liam so it's not like I'd be leaving her alone.

We headed back to the hotel. It was around 2pm or so, I just hung up with Harry. I was so exhausted and drained that I decided to just go to sleep. 

~~

They were all in their dressing rooms as always, just fooling around. "Hey love" Harry greeted me with a kiss and finished getting dressed. "Hey" I sat down on the couch next to Louis who was on his phone. Liam and Ava were on the other couch talking and Zayn and Niall were off getting into some kind of trouble. 

The last opening act was just finishing up, the boys all had to go towards the stage, Ava and I headed to our seats. 

~~

All of us were heading back to the hotel, "I'm so tired, I'm going straight to sleep." Harry yawned. "Same here, it's been a long day!" Niall said as Louis nodded in agreement. "What about you?" Harry nudged my arm, asking me. "Not at all actually, I slept before the show." Zayn joined in the conversation, "At least one of you will be up, I'm still pumped from the show."

We just pulled up to the hotel and went to our own rooms. "You wanna go grab something to eat, I just gotta change quickly" Zayn called to me as I was walking into the room, "yeah, just come get me when you're ready." He nodded and I closed the door behind Harry and I. "I'm gonna go hang out with Zayn for a little, you're going to sleep?" I asked. "Yeah" he came over to me and hugged me, "night. be safe, I love you." He kissed my forehead, "Okay, I'll be quiet when I come back." He took off his shirt and got in the bed. I checked my phone while waiting for Zayn. It was about 10 minutes until he came. I looked over at Harry, he was already sound asleep. I smiled at how peaceful and cute he looked sleeping. I opened the door and headed out of the hotel with Zayn. 

"Where do you wanna eat?" He asked as we walked out to the street. "Anywhere, I haven't eaten since breakfast." He laughed, "there's a pub type place just a block away. That good with you?" 

"Yeah, that's fine." We made small talk as we walked over there. The place was quiet and very few people were in it. We sat in the back to avoid people noticing us.

"You think you're going to leave?" Zayn asked nervously. "I don't know." I've always got along with him really well, I could always talk completely honest and open with him since the beginning, " I mean, I don't want to but I think I have to." He looked up at me, "well, honestly, what do you really want? Are you willing to risk all the old habits coming back just to stay with Harry?" He made a good point, "well.. I mean.." he cut me off mid-sentence, "if you're hesitating then we both know the answer." I didn't want to believe it but it was true. "You know he really does love you, a lot. I've never actually seen him care this much over a girl besides his mom or sister. I know it's hard for you because you love him a lot as well but just do me one thing?" He looked me straight in my eyes, "don't drag this out any longer then it needs to be. We both know you're going to leave, so just do me this favor and just let him know, give him a heads up. He's been freaking out this whole week so far, wondering whether or not you're going to leave. And I think he knows your answer but he just dosen't want to believe it because you haven't said the words to him yet." I knew he was right but I don't want to tell Harry because then, saying the words to him, just makes it reality. It's then, when I say those words that it's over, the one and only thing I love more then anything and never want to be without will be gone, for good. "Yeah, I will" I started to get teary-eyed but he was right, he always was, I needed to end this, I can't wait any longer.
