Author's Chapter Notes: Don't hate me guys... :S

I pulled out my phone and texted Harry.

'You didn't just do that! Harry you did not just announce that.'

I quickly got a reply back.

Harry Styles: 'I did. Hayley I love you. I'm sorry nothing worked out. But wanted you to know. So I also guess the song meant nothing to you as well.'

Emily quickly took her thumb and wiped away the tears falling down my cheeks.

'Harry... can we talk?' I asked him.

Harry Styles: 'Sure. Come to the back of the venue okay?'

I grabbed Emily's hand and led her out into the hall outside of the stage area.

"Emily I'm gonna go talk with Harry okay?" I said quietly.

"Okay." Emily pulled me into a hug. "Good luck Hayley. Just think... he loves you. He admitted it to everyone."

I nodded and slipped out of her arms before she turned around and went back into the stage area. I bitvmy lip and started to walk towards the back area of the venue. I stepped outside to wait for Harry. It was freezing. Shit why didn't I bring my jacket with me? I crossed my arms across my chest and rubbed my arms to keep them warm. I waited forf ive minutes before I heard anyone.

"Hayley?" I heard someone say behind me.

I turned around to see Harry standing a little ways away from me biting his lip and rubbing one shoulder. I almost smiled; remembering that was what he did when he was nervous.

"Um... hey." I gave him a half smile.

"You-you came?" He came out and said it.

"Yeah..." I nodded my head, trying to keep myself from shaking.

"Are-are you cold?" Harry smiled, looking up at me.

"Um... kind of." I shrugged, smiling at him. "I'll be fine."

"Here." Harry shrugged off his blazer and walked up to me to put it around my shoulders.

"Thanks Haz..." I smiled.

He nodded before looking down at the ground. I couldn't stand it anymore. I walked up to him and lightlyvplaced my hand under his chin and made him look up at me. Our eyes met each other and we stared at each other for a minute before I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. His arms automatically wrapped around mywaist, pulling me as close as I could go. I buried my head into the crook of his neck; and he did the same.

"I missed you..." I whispered.

"I missed you too." I could feel him smiling into my skin.

We stood there hugging for acouple ofminutes.

"So do you wanna go inside?" Harrysmiled.

"Sure,but can we talk first?" I smiled back.

"Um... okay. I guess I should have been expecting this..." Harry sighed. "Hayley... I'm so sorry about prom... and saying those things to you. I love you more than anything; and I always have. It was overly hard whenever someone said we were together to have to tell them we were just friends. The boys knew, which is why they kept making fun of me. I tried to treat you better than any other boy you knew. Whenever we were at the movies, or when I took you to my cousin's wedding, whenever we were so close to kissing; I felt like I couldn't be happier. I was just waiting to finally feel your lips against mine; which was what I always wanted. I wanted to call you mine; I wanted to stay up late talking to you,the good morning texts,the arguments and the makeup texts where we tell each other our feelings. I wanted all of that with you."
