The Article [Harry Styles]

Chapter twenty six

"Avery" hearing a faint familiar voice behind me, not really in the mood to talk! Slowly turning around to see Connor standing behind me. My heart began racing, I had no idea what to say to him. "It's nice to see you" it's nice to see me? Is that all he has to say to me after what happened? Can I just slap his face now? "I'm sorry about what happened Avery. I miss you"

Crossing my arms trying the find the right words to say to him without being harsh. "Get yourself a puppy yet"? Looking down shaking my head realizing what had just come out of mouth, God he made me furious! Slowly rising my head again noticing the hurt in his eyes. "Look Connor I'm sorry for what I said. I was upset "

"I don't care about what you said to me when you were upset. I care about what happened after I told you I liked you, I felt like I was back in high school with how the way you reacted" Why does he insist on doing this around people we know? "Look ave could we talk in private"? Letting out a sigh giving in and following him to a more private place.

"I don't have all day" whispering as we just sat in silence beside each other. I really don't even want to hear what he has to say, what is wrong with me and why do I hate him so much? The man knows everything about me! Basically why we are best friends.. were. Correcting myself.

"What did Harry do to you? You seem incredibly different than the Avery I knew before you met him" my patience is running thin with him! Harry hasn't done anything to me. You sir are just jealous. Laughing at his question thinking about Harry and wondering how he was doing? If what Karen says is true Harry won't find out anything about the article. let's just hope.

"god Connor! why do you think Harry has something to do with the way I'm talking to you? Harry isn't like what anyone has said about him. They are all fucking rumors"! crossing my arms. "are we done here"? not wanting to deal with my once best friend. Sighing. "I have a life now Connor, I don't give a shit whether you like it or not" standing up I felt his arm grab mine.

"I miss my best friend. Can't we just act like adults and move on with our life's? I'm sorry I told you I liked you, please let it go if it means having my friend back" still not facing him, Connor doesn't know? He's not the only one that's been keeping a secret.

"I can't Connor" whispering, looking down at how bad I've treated him when I've felt the exact same way. Being with Harry turned my thoughts off of Connor and I had thought that I only liked Connor because he was the only man in my life and he's not bad looking. "Connor I reacted the way I did because I freaked out inside"

"What do you mean"? Connor standing up and turning me around to face him. "ave"? Grabbing my chin with his finger looking into my eyes. This is what I've been dreaming about since the first day I met him. Breathing heavy just wanting to grab his lips with mine. "say it and I'm yours" he whispered coming closer. Locking our lips together, the kiss just feeling absolutely amazing!

No Avery, you have Harry fucking styles! This is basically cheating on the man you love? "Connor" I breathed out wanting more kisses but how terribly wrong this all is! "I can't" backing away from him. "I'm with Harry" nodding my head in shock at what I just did! But Connor taste so good! Why does this have to happen?!

"It's okay Avery, Harry will find out about your article and then we can be together" Connor grabbing my waist pulling me closer to him. Why does this have to happen now? Smiling to myself feeling incredibly stupid with myself! How could I do this to Harry! Shaking my head getting out of his grip.

"I can't Connor, I would have loved to before all this but I can't" walking backwards away from Connor. Watching as Connors face turn into somewhat sad and anger, walking towards me.

"Why can't you"? Sounding desperate, chewing on my bottom lip trying to find the right words without hurting his feelings once again. "Please ave give me a chance"? My heart was melting by the second at his words, nearly reaching out for his hand I pulled away just as quickly.

"Because I love him"! The room becoming quiet again, realizing what I had just said out loud. Smiling to myself, "I love him" I whispered looking back at Connor who had stopped approaching me. "I'm sorry" I whispered running out of the room away from the look of Connors face. "I love Harry fucking style" repeating to myself again.
