CHAPTER 27

ANGIES POV

“Niall, I wish that Harry didn’t find out about me doing the Olympics.”

“I think that it’s for the best.” He said smiling.

“Now he’s upset though. How can I show him that I don’t care?” I asked.

“Send him a text?” Niall suggested.

I nodded my head and then pulled out my Iphone.

“Harry, don’t be upset, you didn’t know. I still love you! :) xx Angie”

I set my phone down and within 10 seconds I had a new message from Harry.

“I feel so guilty Angie. I can’t get over it. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Harry”

I quickly responded,

“You’ll make me happy if you just move on. I didn’t tell you about it in the first place because I didn’t want you to feel this way…. Xx Angie.

This time the response took longer.

“If you had told me about it 3 years ago, I never would have left you. I really did love you Angie XXxxXXxXx Styles”

The response to this text was easy.

“But then you never would have been in one direction!!! Xx Angie”

I hadn’t even had to set my phone down before he responded.

“But I would have had you. And to have you as a girlfriend would be wayyyyy better than being in this band. I regret it. XXXXXXXXXXXXX Harry”

I quickly said,

“Don’t you ever say that. Xx Angie”

Then he said,

“The truth? XXxxXXxxXxxxxXX Harry”

I closed out of the message without responding.

“So… What happened?” Niall asked.

I handed him my phone and watched him read the messages. I could tell that he was feeling a little jealous, so I said “He feels so guilty that he’s trying to fall in love with me again to make up for it.”

Then a worried Niall said, “Angie don’t let him fall for you, you’re the reason I smile every day. Without you my world would be awful, I need you. Please stay with me, don’t believe what he says, he will only hurt you.”

To be honest, I was a little surprised at this. “Insecure much?” I asked.

“I just can’t lose you, especially not to Harry.”

I felt a little hurt by this. I saw what Niall was saying, but he made it seem like I was a prize. “I need to go.” I said firmly.

I started walking upstairs and picking up my things to pack. I opened my suitcase and soon enough it was filled. I dialed my Moms number and waited for her to answer.

“Angie darling! I haven’t heard from you in so long. How are you?” My mother’s kind words soothed me.

“I am coming home for awhile, is that okay?” I asked.

“I would be delighted.” She said and I could tell that she meant it.

“See you in about 20 minutes.” I said, and then hung up.

“Angie I am sorry. Please don’t leave.” Niall said with tears in his eyes.

“It’s just for a few days, I really miss her.” I said.

“Okay, I love you Angie.” He spoke through tears.

I nodded my head and walked out the door. I then realized that I didn’t have a ride. I texted Harry hoping he could drive me.

“Can you do me a favor? Xx Angie”

He responded within seconds.

“Of course, anything for you. What do you need? :) XXX Styles.

“Come outside the building; bring your car keys. Xx Angie.”

A few minutes later I saw Harry appear.

“Where are we going my love?” He asked.

“Back to my house.” He gave me a confused look, and so I said, “I’ll explain on our way.”

He nodded his head and opened the passenger’s seat for me. I climbed in and turned on the radio.

“So…Why are you leaving?” He asked.

“I just miss her…. A lot.” I said.

“Should Matt go with you?” He asked.

“No…she doesn’t know that he’s home yet.” I answered.

“Why don’t you tell her?” He asked.

“She won’t approve of the whole assassin thing.” I said.

“Understandable.” He said laughing.

The rest of the car ride we sat in silence just listening to the radio. I thought of all the times I had been with Harry and it amazed me how much he knew about me. “Do believe in soul mates?” I asked randomly.

“I did until I came across you.” He said softly.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked.

“3 years ago, I thought you were my soul mate. But then I messed it up, so I know that you can’t be with me. But the thing is, I still think you’re my soul mate, it’s just I screwed it up so badly that you don’t want to be with me anymore.”

“I think you’re my soul mate too.” I said quietly.

“It’s too complicated.” He said.

“Does this mean that we die alone?” I asked.

“Unless were with each other, I guess so.” He said staring directly into my eyes.

“That’s why I wouldn’t want to meet my soul mate when I was young, because I would mess it up.” I said.

“If you and I just met today, what do you think would happen?” He asked as we pulled up to my house.

“We’d be in love.” I said stepping out of the car and running into my house.
