All that I know Is you caught me at the right time

Keep me in your glow

'Cause I'm having such a good time

With you

I was nervous and Niall was nervous. He was also 30 minuted early so he came to my house while I was getting ready and sat on my bed. He looked very handsome. He had on black jeans with a tan sweater and brown dress shoes. I was wearing a simple white flowy dress that came just above the middle of my thighs with black open toed flats. My hair was in loose waves and I was putting my makeup on as he freaked out.

"I should cancel, I'm feeling so queazy," he said placing his hand on his stomach. I tried to stop rolling my eyes at how dramatic he was being.

"Niall, she said she wanted to come out tonight, she likes you. Please stop being nervous."

"What if it's a mistake! I mean last time she took my heart and literally ripped it from me, I can't go through that again." My eyes soften as he mentions his ex.

"I know she hurt you but you can't let her take anything more from you, she doesn't get to dictate your happiness." He smiled and nodded.

"He doesn't get to dictate yours either." I frowned as he continued to speak. "Just admit that you still want Harry."

"Niall, this isn't about that. I just. . . Harry doesn't feel the same." I really didn't think he did.

"You don't know that, if I am trying again then so are you. Just be open to whatever happens."

I just nodded but I truly didn't know if I would be open. I gave Niall a hug and we heard my doorbell ring. Harry was here to pick me up.

"Oh no, this means I have to go get her," he said nervously.

We walked to my front door as I grabbed my purse and I tried to reassure Niall he was okay, everything would be fine.

"Niall, just be you, she is going to like you." He searched my face for any doubt but he didn't find any because there wasn't any. She would love him, I was sure of it.

We opened the door and I saw harry standing there in all black. He looked so handsome. I smiled as his eyes found mine before Niall cleared his throat.

"Right, thanks Cash, see you two in a bit." He said before nodding to Harry. Niall got in his car and drove away speedily, he was still nervous.

I looked at Harry and caught his eyes trailing up and down my body before he looked to me again and blushed knowing I caught him.

"You look beautiful," he smiled as we walked to his car.

"Thank you, you look very handsome."

The car ride was silent while 70s R&B played through his speakers. I forgot how much I just missed being in a car with him. We often would drive around and listen to music singing off-key to every song that played. I smiled thinking of all those times.

My friendship with Harry really was so special and now sitting beside him it reminded of what we did have, and now we don't have that. Sometimes I wondered if we never got together then we would still be friends and the year and a half without him wouldn't have happened. But then I also probably wouldn't have taken my health into consideration and not gone to therapy.
