"Hello?"

"Alicia. Oh great, this is  your number. How are you? Are you ok?" he questions.

"I'm fine. Yea. I just got a broken leg, and a cut. Nothing major. The doctor says I should be fine in like, 2 weeks," I explain.

"Oh that's great. Is this my fault?"

"No, no Harry. Don't worry about it."

"Ok cool. I will call you later, ok?"

"Ok," I sighed. What part of space does he not get?

I hang up and look from the window and at my mom. Her face is stern and her eyes are mixed with disbelief and uncertainty.

"Um, I don't know if I miss heard or did you say Harry during that conversation. As in Harry Styles?Because he is the one who did what he did and I don't even want to hear his name Alicia. After what he did to you I, I-."

"Yes, mom I remember very clearly. Don't worry about it. That wasn't him. It would never be him. My friend just said something about him. That's all," I lied.

  My mom didn't need to know about him and me. I didn't even know what this was. So this was between me and him. We haven't even done anything. I don't even know if I forgive him or not.

 We get back to my house and my mom helps me out and grabs my stuff from the trunk. I wheel to the front of the house and wait for my mom to come unlock the front door.

"You know mom I think it will be easier if I used my crutches now so I can get up and down the stairs."

"Right." She goes to get them from out the car and comes back a moment later. I get my self situated and try test walking around with them.

"Yes this is much better. I'll be in my room."

After the struggle getting to my room, I plop on my bed and throw down the crutches. I sit up against the head board and reach next to me and grab my laptop. I open it up and enter my password. I get another text but this time its not from Harry. Its from Rei asking if I'm home and ok. I assure her that I'm fine.

I think about my coversation with Harry and he says he's changed. I think he might have. I figure he should have a second chance and if he really has changed I want to see and experience this first hand. If he has changed, this I have to see. So I grab my phone and click messages, then Harry's name.

Ok, Styles.

Harry's P.O.V.

I'm in the hotel room that Louis and I share and my phone vibrates indicating that I have a new text message. I grab it and it's from Alicia!

'Ok Styles,' is what it reads.

I look to my previous message to where I asked if I could meet with her. Wait, she said yes.

"She said YES," I screamed out in the room.

Louis turns to look at me and gives me a look like I'm crazy but I couldn't care less.

"What's all the fuss about?"

"I asked Alicia out and she said yes."

"That's great mate," he then focuses back on the TV where two soccer teams are competing.

Not a minute later another text comes through. It says, 'but we have to reschedule. In about two weeks. Obviously, I'm not still at the hotel.'

But that is fine with me because I'm going on a date. Then it strikes me I haven't replied yet and I quickly type an answer, which of course, is yes.
