Niall's POV

'Harry .... WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?' I yelled from across the room. He snapped his head up and looked at me.

I froze. The guilt in his eyes, the regret, the pain. There was so much of it, I instantly felt bad for yelling at him.

Whatever he did, he definitely didn't realise this would be the outcome. I sprinted over there and wrapped him up in an Horan hug. Haz pressed his face to the crook of my neck, and I could feel his tears soaking my shirt.

He would still be my best friend. Everyone has a past.

1 hour later

Harry had finally stopped crying. Gabriella was asleep. Me, the boys and Talliah were in the kitchen once again, all looking at Harry expectantly.

He sighed, rubbed his eyes with the sleeve of his top and started.

'I met Hazel two years ago. I was just taking a walk, trying to clear my head; I'd just had a pretty serious arguement with Gemma. Anyway, it started to rain so I ran to this Starbucks nearby. As I walked through the door, I tripped on my shoelaces. Crashed into the most gorgeous girl I'd ever seen, and we both fell on the floor.

She had spilt her iced coffee on the both of us - thank God it was iced - and the cashier gave us both some spare towels as my soaked clothes had made her wet too. And that is how I met Hazel.

We started talking, and arranged for me to pick her up the next day to go to the cinema. When I did, she didn't let me in. I knew there were a few things she wasn't telling me, but I could wait for her.

It turned into a reoccuring thing. Picking her up, staying in the car, dropping her home at 4:30 each day.

Around a month after we met, she told me. About everything she had had and still did. I couldn't believe one person could go through all that, yet still find a reason to smile. And I knew then, that I loved her.

Everything was good for a little while. Just under a month after that I asked her to be my girlfriend. She looked so happy, I've seriously never experienced such joy before, just from the look on her face.

But then just a day later, I got a letter in the mail. I'd been accepted to audition for the X factor. I was so excited.

I picked Hazel up that day, and took her to the same Starbucks we met at, and told her. She looked really happy for me, but then her face went cold.

'So you're leaving me? After you promised you'd finally be someone that never did?!' She said to me. I died inside when she said that. That wasn't what I meant.

I was going to ask her to come with me. I knew it wasn't the best thing ever with her health issues, but I couldn't imagine going there without her. But I never got to tell her.
