Harry's P.O.V

I threw my bag over my shoulder and continued walking down the pathway towards Louisa's house. I could feel my heartbeat fasten as I walked along the damp cement. It was only a kilometre away from our school, even though she goes to an all-girls school she gets home earlier than everybody in her family because her father works in the city and her mother works across town at a confectionery outlet.

As I walked closer to her house I can hear music thumping through my ears. the music drains my nervousness as i hear the song playing through my ears. "Clocks" by Coldplay, we would always listen to it every time she came over to visit my place after school or when she snuck out of the house to see me. I could hear the music thump louder in my ears as I walk up towards her door I open the gate and just stare right ahead trying to avoid the loud music.

It's hard to ignore music that is pounding into your head. I can tell her father isn't home because he would be yelling to turn that shit down, I stand at her front door shuffling my feet trying to think of words to say to her. Something pops into my mind but it's not words…its Elena.

I shake my head with a questioning look on my face hoping she would fade away but she is stuck. I don't know why, I don't want her to either. I lifted my hand up and knocked on Louisa's front door loud hoping she would hear it.

I stood back listening if the music turned down but it was still blasting through the walls of the house.

I breathe out irritated, walked to the door and knocked again but louder and this time the music has lowered down to a slight hearing volume.

I sighed nervously and started to shuffle my feet again, I could hear stomping as she was coming down the stairs and her shoes squeak against the time as she opened the door.

Her eyes looked into mine the second she looked at me, she bit her lip looking down and said quietly "What do you want Harry?". I breathe out and speak in a calm tone towards her "Can you please let me explain?...about everything?...it's not fair on me if I don't give my side of the story".

She looked back up at me, sighed and then stepped aside allowing me to walk in. I half smiled to myself, walked in and just slipped my bag next to the door. I heard the door closed, she took my arm pulling upstairs into her room and closed the door behind us.

"You have five minutes because I'm father is on his way home and you know how he is if a boy is home alone with me" she says not making eye contact and sits at her desk chair.

I take a breath walking to her bed, I sit down and close my eyes for two seconds. I reopen them and look at her dead in the eyes and say "Look Louisa, I would never cheat on you, you know you're my one and only, you know I love you and know I would never hurt you, but you hurt me more than anything with you sending me that text last night without even putting trust in me".

I could feel my eyes welling up with tears, I felt a tear slide down my left cheek but I let it fall. I could see tears welling up in her eyes, I hate seeing her like this. Hurt, wanting to cry because you feel as if it's the only thing you can do and I just don't want her to see her like this. I do love her I do. Too much to see her crying. It breaks my heart.

Her dark chocolate brown curls cover her face as she tilted her head forward covering her face with her hands. She slid her hands over her head through her hair, she looks up at me in the eyes again with red tear stained eyes. "I know I hurt you and I'm sorry Harry…it's just I don't know I wasn't thinking at all, I regret everything and your right I do know you love me and that you won't hurt me, you know how I am I do things without thinking Harry…I'm so sorry" she said sadly and bursted into a meltdown.


Louisa's P.O.V

I hate crying, it makes me feel weak. I always wanted to be stronger but I guess at this moment it's not the time to. I could feel hot tears running down my cheeks like a waterfall, I looked up but all I saw was blur. I felt warm arms wrap around me pulling me close, I knew it was Harry. I know his hugs, I loved them and him.

I don't know why I did what I did but I regret it so much. He means a lot to me and he is right why I wouldn't let him explain. It's not fair on him.

I sniffed, wrapping my arms around him and snuggled my face into his neck. Why do I have to do this?. I do have to ask myself because I just lost my Harry. I bet it was his fucking dickheads Louis, Zayn, Liam and Niall. They are always against me. I bet they set the whole rumor up so Harry and I would break up, they probably told my friend Emily who used to date Zayn way back.

They are friends, I just don't understand how she can STILL be friends with him though. He is a total tool, a player, he thinks he is a bad boy when really he isn't and he ALWAYS, FUCKING ALWAYS looks at himself in the mirror twenty four seven.

"Louisa I do forgive you, I just think we should just stay friends" Harry said calmly. That completely tore me apart inside, I could feel more tears run down my face as that word "friends" replayed in my mind.

I don't want to be just friends, he does mean something to me. I just have to get him back before any other bitch takes him away from me.

Taking a deep breath, I sniff wiping my eyes getting rid of my tears, looking at the ground I can just hear my heart shatter. "Maybe you should go Harry" I say calmly hoping I won't break down knowing I am breaking down inside from his words.

I kept my eyes on my teddy bear that he gave me on our first year anniversary. I know he is staring at me, he is crying himself, I can tell. I glance at him from the corner of my eye and he sighs. "Yeah….maybe I'll see you sometime?" he says quietly walking to my bedroom door.

I felt my throat being blocked by a hard clump of saliva. I gulped hard looking at him nodding my head a little. I swung my desk chair facing my window, I heard the door open and close with feet shuffling fading away down the stairs and out the door.

I quickly jumped up from my chair, looked outside the window and watched as Harry walked away down the street.

I have to get him back.


Harry's P.O.V

I just felt like having a breakdown right here, right now in public on this godamn path. I don't care if I cry, I'm hurt, and I feel stuck. Stuck with this regret letting her go, she may have done me wrong but I could have never let her go.

I slipped my other arm in my other bag sleeve and held onto it tight as I sprinted to the parklands. I finally let a cry out beginning with a scream. I feel my warm tears that are familiar to me fall down my face. I fall to my knees gripping on the soft, green grass. I could hear and feel the grass rip as I pull falling back on my arse.

I just want to cry all night, the thought of her crying is breaking my heart. I just want to run back to Louisa and kiss her. I look to the side and see Elena looking at me from a nearby tree. She looks so much like Louisa it's unbelievable, I stand up wiping my tears and cough under my breathe.

She started walking towards me, I held my breath and looked down. I feel as if that is Louisa but I know it's not. I heard her footsteps get closer until she stopped in front of me. I immediately look up in her eyes holding the stare, those bright emerald green eyes looking at me. I look at her soft pink, plump lips. reminded me of how Louisa's lips felt like when I kissed her.

I looked at Elena's face and all I could see was Louisa.

"You ok-" she began calmly but I grabbed her face gently in my hands and kissed her. Her warm lips against mine felt so right. I felt her start to kiss me back until she screwed her face up tightening her lips and pushed me away making our lips break apart.

I looked at her and realized what I just did, I KISSED Elena. NOT LOUISA. "Elena I'm s-" I began but she intruded saying not making any eye contact "It's…..fine". I looked at her confused and walked to her, I took a breather exhaling lightly. "I didn't mean to, I just….I just" I started then grumbled loud, she sighed and said calmly walking towards me "We will never speak of this again". She looked me dead in the eyes and held my shoulder lightly pressing her thumbs in nimbly, she continued "Okay?".

I nodded, tightening my lips hard in a straight line and looked away. I can't believe I kissed her, her lips on mine. I can still feel the tingly on my lips.

And I loved it.


Elena's P.O.V

He just kissed me. What the fuck. There must be an explanation for this, but I don't care right now. Too many things are on my mind right now. I look at Harry and he looks confused, I raised an eyebrow at him and say in an awkward tone "Maybe we could go to the others…they are just over by the playground".

He nodded slowly and we both started walking back without talk. I didn't know what to ask him or talk to him about. Well I do know what I wanted to know. I wanted to know why he kissed me. It's not exactly common for a guy to just grab a girl's face and kiss her randomly when you only met them on that exact day.

"HOW WAS THAT KISS ELENA!" I hear Danielle scream out, I looked up at her and see her smirking. I raise an eyebrow at her, I see Niall shuffling his feet lightly across the sand looking down. I couldn't see his face but I'm puzzled because he just huffed out a breath fast and hard.

I wonder what's wrong. Harry looked at me without saying anything and walked off to the bench I was sitting on before I went for a walk. I sighed, looked at Niall and started walking to him. He looked up at me, his face was blank for a bit until he forced a smile.

I could tell because his mouth was about to turn into a smile, it elapsed and then broke out into an actual smile. I know something is bugging him. He sat down on the sand and started playing with it in his hand, shaking it letting the sand slip through his fingers.

I sat down beside him, looking at the sand, I slid my hand through the sand feeling its grittiness. "Niall…what's wrong?" I ask looking at him, the sun on his face. He looks up at me forcing another smile, he answered "Nothing is wrong…why you asking El?".

I looked at him folding my hands over my knees leaning back. "Because you seem off and you're forcing a smile" I reply back to him. He shrugged and said slowly "Some stuff is on my mind…I guess but I'm alright", he nodded looking at me and actually smiled without force. I smiled back and said smoothly "Well I'm actually getting bored…and hungry haha", he laughed and said whilst his smile grew into a grin "We're going to Nando's when Zayn and Lou get here".

I nodded looking back down at the sand and rocks mixed together in my palm. I felt his stare, I glanced up at him looking in his eyes and smiled.

I looked back down feeling the sand and gravel slip through my fingers. The grit feeling of the sand left a tingly sensation on my palm as it disappeared slowly.


Niall's P.O.V

"I just want to eat! Im so hungry!" I laugh out looking at Elena, she looked at me smiling and laughed along with me saying "Me too! I eat a lot for a girl like me…but I love food so I don't give a shit". I slowly stopped laughing smiling at Elena again, I looked up at the dark sky and saw that it was starting to rain.

I jumped up grabbing Elena's hand and pulled her undercover sitting on the cement next to the baby's play set. The air was beginning to get colder and colder by the second. The rain started to grow heavier and heavier by the minute.

I looked at Elena who looked like she loved the rain, she smiled letting a couple raindrops hit her small buttoned nose. She tilted her head back allowing the raindrops slide down her smooth, cold cheeks that was once warm.

She giggled glancing at me and straightened her head back up again letting the raindrops fall on her hair creating a crystal effect. She has such beautiful hair, looking so soft, she has the perfect ringlets in her hair too.

"So you didn't exactly tell me where you were from now Niall" she said smiling at me. I chuckled a little looking at her and said "Well I'm from Mullingar".

I saw that smile that I love creep up along her face and a raindrop falling gently on her perfect, clean skin of her left cheek.


Elena's POV

"So what's Canterbury like?" I hear Niall ask me in a puzzled tone. I looked up at him again fiddling with a small pebble between my index and middle finger. I shrugged my shoulders a little and replied back laughing quietly "Its cold, sometimes warm, beautiful surroundings, houses….it's like a small town with a small population".

He nodded smirking and asked again with interest "So you were born and raised there?". I nodded slightly tilting my head to the side, "My mother and grandmother were born and raised here like me, but my great grandmother was born in Sicily, Italy before she moved to Canterbury when she fell pregnant with my grandmother at the age of 17".

I love the thought of talking about my family. It's amazing when you think about it, remembering far back into your bloodline. You have so much history on your family, you remember it like it's on the back of your hand.

You know what they went through to get where they are and you know how much they had to sacrifice to get where they wanted to be.

"Seventeen…she was so young, she must of sacrificed a lot to get where she was" Niall said staring at the ant hill just over by the cement edge of the playground. I looked at him and said still "She sacrificed so much for my grandmother…for my family…much goes into detail but it's too much to talk about haha". My focus faded away from Niall and began to concentrate on the green leaf that was floating in the wind along the sand of the playground.

"My parents gave my younger sister up after she was born, she was only born a couple minutes after me, they gave her up to a family who wanted a baby…they could only afford to care for one of us, my father was the only one with a job that brought in as much as a bag of bread could cost…..that's all my mother ever told me whenever I'd ask…I wish I knew where she was now, I'd kill to see her…..sometimes I think to myself…. Wondering what she looks like, if her "parents" told her about who she really is or if I would see her …sometimes I even wished that I was the one they gave up" Niall said looking down at his fingers as he started fiddling around with a small twig he found next to him buried in sand.

Frowning I shook my head a little and started drawing small stick figures in the sand with my finger. "Why you say that Niall?" I ask questioning, I look up at him still drawing with my finger feeling the roughness of the sand and gravel.

"Because if I was the one they gave up…she would have the chance to see her real parents" Niall answered back in an intense tone. I grimaced from his reply and just looked at him and said certainly "That means you wouldn't be able to see your parents and don't say that because you never know if you're going to meet her one day, that means she will get to meet you and her real biological parents….trust me you'll get the family reunion you always wished for Niall…just wait and see it will come".

I patted his shoulder and smiled at him warmly. He returned a smile back, glanced at my hand that was patting his shoulder and said content "You know just what to say…I don't know you but that is one of the things I've noticed". His smile grew bigger as he looked around my face, I couldn't help but smile more than I've ever smiled in a long time. And that smile has never come out before on anyone. Niall made me smile. That REAL smile that I have never shown to anyone in a long time.

"What are the other things you've noticed?" I asked him confused. He laughed, grabbed my other hand and started playing with my fingers gently. I let my hand slip from his shoulder as I watched him play with my fingers. He inhaled smiling, looked down at my hand and next eyed me and said "Well, your that type of girl who would listen to you and won't judge you straight away….you know how to react to things…you seem to be yourself and not try to impress anyone….an-".

He got interrupted by Liam and Danielle laughing and kissing by the bench near the swings. Laughing I looked at the couple smiling, my focus had been disturbed and I looked at Niall. I said "And?" trying to continue our conversation over the noise. Niall glanced at Liam and Danielle then looked at me smiling, "Don't worry about it". I nodded returning back his smile, "You seem to notice quite a lot of things about me though you only met me yesterday".

I smirked at him leaning back on my hand in the sand. He chuckled and smiled looking down at the sand and said gently "I guess you seem interesting". He looked up at me with a happy grin on his face and I just giggled looking up at the dull sky.

I know his eyes are on me, I can feel his stare and I just smiled willingly letting him know I am aware of his staring. He smirked and looked down at the sand again, I heard footsteps behind me so I turned around and saw Harry bend down on his knees and kneel on the sand behind us smiling.

"Hey!" Harry said smiling. Niall turned his head around looking at Harry but he didn't smile. "Hey Haz" he said quietly, he looked back down at the sand again continuing to play with it. There is definitely something wrong with him. Could it have been that kiss?.
