the one that got away (h.s)

Chapter 17: Same Mistakes

Harrys POV

"Hi Camille." My feet staggered because I was so drunk and I held my hand out so I wouldn't fall.

"How have you been?" She got close to my ear because it was so loud around us.

I leaned towards her to do the same and I smiled because the alcohol made me. "I've been pretty good. You?" I lied.

"I'm great. Well it was nice seeing you." She smiled and put her hair behind her ear and started to walk away. I don't know why my body reacted the way it did but I grabbed her hand so she couldn't walk away just yet.

"Wait. Let's go dance." She didn't hesitate and neither did I. I ordered one last shot and downed it before went to go dance. Everything after that was a blur, but I remember the feeling of her hips and our bodies rubbing against each other.

My pounding headache woke me up from my sleep and I could feel a body next to me and I start to turn over scared to see who was laying next to me.

"Harry are you awake?" I heard Olivia's sweet sleepy voice. She set her phone down on the night stand and picked up water and a Tylenol.

"Here." She handed it to me and I winched as I threw my head back to swallow the pill. I laid my head back down on the pillow and closed my eyes.

"How did I end up here?" I asked. My voice was very raspy, and I was embarrassed because I was so confused. I have no recollection of anything after I saw Camille.

"It's a long story. Get some more sleep and we can talk later." She laughed a little and started to get out of bed but I grabbed her before she could get up.

"Stay here with me please." I begged. After I said that I realized Derek wasn't here, but maybe he was asleep on the couch. I guess this is payback for the hell he put us through last week. Olivia sat up in bed, but she let wrap my arm around her waist and lay my head in her lap. She played with my curls and rubbed my back until I fell back asleep. I knew I told myself I wasn't going to get in the way of them anymore, but this moment felt so right and made up for my killer headache.

I woke up again to a lonely bed, and an even worse headache. This time I was in bed, and there were no signs of anyone else being here. It was just a dream, and my heart broke again. I'm tired of waking up lonely.

I couldn't remember anything from last night or how I even got home, and I went downstairs to get some water and Tylenol. It was almost 1pm in the afternoon and I had slept half the day away. I wanted to text Olivia so badly because she never answered my text yesterday, but I didn't want to seem obsessive. I decided she'd text me when she was ready because her and Derek are probably together. I grabbed my water and I decided to go for a walk because they always cleared my mind and I needed to get some fresh air anyway.

Olivia's POV (this starts the night her and Derek broke up)

My knees crumbled to the ground, and I cried in the floor for I don't know how long. It felt like everything was falling apart and I couldn't pick up the pieces. I don't know how long it was until I called Grace and told her everything that had just happened. She came over immediately and brought two bottles of wine, cookies, and ice cream. We got wine drunk together and ate a full tub of ice cream while we sang and danced around my apartment. We laughed, we cried, and we talked about life together. Maybe Grace was the only person I needed to be happy. I could feel our friendship growing and us getting closer and it made me so happy to have a best friend who was a girl.

Derek didn't care if I had other friends, but I just always chose to be with him so I never made close friends. I had my best friends from high school, but we all went our separate ways and were never able to spend time together anymore. I missed them a lot, but we were all living our best lives. At least they were.

Surprisingly when I woke up I didn't have hang over, just a small headache that was bearable. I took some medicine anyway and started scrolling through my twitter feed, but I stumbled upon an article. I thought it was an old one, but the time stamp said December 20th which was todays date.

"Harry Styles and Camille Rowe Back Together Again???"

There were so many pictures of them dancing together and his lips close to her ears. Each picture broke my heart more and more. Why couldn't I catch a break?? I can't be mad at him though because we were never together, and until last night I was still dating Derek. I could feel my emotions overwhelming me and it felt like I couldn't catch my breath. Tears wouldn't stop streaming down my face and I felt bad for waking Grace up.

"Grace—" I gasped fro air. "I think... I think somethings-" I tried to keep talking but sat up really fast because she was laying next to me and she interrupted me.

"Olivia its okay calm down look at me." She grabbed my face. "It sounds like you're having a panic attack."

I kept crying and it felt like I couldn't control anything anymore.

"Focus on me and breathe with me." Grace inhaled and exhaled slowly and I tried to follow her pattern of her breathing.

I started calming down, but I still was crying and I couldn't stop.

"Thanks." I sniffed and wiped my face.

"No problem. My mom used to have panic attacks a lot so I've learned how to deal with them by watching my dad calm her down. Are you okay now?"

I showed her the article and she was shocked to see all the photos of Harry and Camille.

"Maybe there's more to this we don't know." She said trying to make me feel better. I shrugged my shoulders because I still didn't know what to say or think.

"I'm sorry Olivia. I know boys sucks." She hugged me tight.

"Thanks for dealing with my emotional ass these past few days." I laughed and finished wiping my face with my t-shirt.

"Let's go get some food. Food makes everything better." She wasn't wrong. We got ready and I washed my face because I was not about to go in public with red, puffy eyes. I let Grace borrow some of my clothes and we were ready to go.

"I want to go back to that place we went to. Beach Cafe?" Grace suggested, so I got her phone and plugged in the directions.

We finished eating and we were leaving the cafe. Food really did make everything better and I started feeling better about everything. I don't need a boy to make me happy. I was scrolling through twitter again though just to see if anything new about him popped up but it didn't.

Grace was walking in front of me so I was following her as I looked down on my phone, but I heard her gasp and I looked up.

Harry was looking at Grace, but then his vision moved to me when I lifted my head up. I could see Grace was a little starstruck from meeting Harry for the first time, but she was also looking at me for approval because she knew what was going on. Harry didn't say anything to me and asked Grace if she wanted a picture so I took their picture together. As I handed Grace her phone Harry finally spoke up.

"Olivia can we talk please?" His eyes were sad and it looked like he hadn't slept. I kept thinking about this photos with Camille, but I decided to face my problems today.

I looked at Grace who was standing behind Harry and she nodded her head as in I should talk to him. "Sure." I let out a long sigh.

"Im sorry about this Grace. I'll just have Harry take me home. Thanks for everything though." We hugged goodbye and Harry waved goodbye too. He really did appreciate all his fans.
