My Forever (Harry Styles)

Tear stains

***Ariel's POV***

        I'm still standing behind Harry. Why? I don't know. Maybe to calm him or to keep myself distanced from Cameron. Why I would need to distance myself from Cameron is also unknown. Maybe so I don't let myself feel for him anymore. I can't. But Harry hurt me once already, so why am I hiding behind the one who is next to hurt me?

        "Oh, Ariel didn't tell you?" Cameron taunts Harry stepping closer. This time I put myself between them. I can see that Harry is ready to pounce on him already.

        "Ariel, would you care to tell me who this prick is?" Harry looks to me with a worried and angry expression. What should I tell him? I should tell him the truth other wise this could get worse.

        "Harry, um... This is Cameron. My ex." I say carefully and slowly. I watch as Harry's expression turns to pure hate and anger. His fists clench and every muscle in his body appear to be contracting. His face turns a deep chrimsone red and I find myself afraid for Cameron.

        "What the fuck is he doing here? You told me your mom was visiting. You lied to me." Harry says and every word breaks right through me.

        "No. Harry please listen to me. We have a lot to talk about still. But my mother is here and she brought him." I say.

         My mom makes her way through to the kitchen and everyone goes silent and stares at her.

        "Well good morning everyone. Who is this?" My mom gestures to Harry. His expression quickly changes and he gives her a small smile.

        "I'm Harry. Ariel's boy.... um, I'm just a friend of Ariels." He corrects himself. He never was my boyfriend. So why he almost called himself my boyfriend is beyond me.

        "Well it's nice to meet you Harry. I'm Charolette, Ariels mother. Obviously." My mom smiles.

        "Harry will you come with me? Alone?" I ask turning to Harry. Cameron gives him a dirty look but Harry ignores it and nods. He follows me to my room and we sit on the bed.

        His face is full of sadness now. "Ariel... I came here to apologize to you. But I come here to find your shirtless ex boyfriend answering your door."

        "I know but it's not what you think. I promise."

        "Did you, well did he... ugh! Did you two sleep together? Like in the same bed?" He asks me.

        "What? Harry! No! You should know that I wouldn't allow that." I say looking straight into his eyes.

        "Well I am very sorry Ariel. I didn't mean any of those things that I said." He confesses and scoots closer to me.

        "I don't know if I can let this go any further Harry. You've hurt me once and I don't know if I can let myself trust you now."

        "Please Ariel! You know how I am! When I get angry I say things I don't mean!" He pleads with me.

        I'm mentally battling with myself right now. This is all just terrible timing. Cameron and Harry are ready to beat the shit out of each other. Cameron has made it clear of what he wants and I know that will hurt Harry. Even if it is just letting him back into my life. But if I forgive Harry then that will surely make it harder for Cameron.

        But why the hell should I care how I make Cameron feel? He never cared about how I felt. Until now. At least I think. I don't know what to believe with him. But there is one thing that I'm sure about, and that's that I have feelings for Harry. And if I have feelings for Cameron, well I don't know about that.
