Harry’s pov

“Yes I believe you have until midnight to guess the name of your mystery guy and well it’s almost 11”

she didn’t catch on at all to the fact she never told me that. She just forced a smile and walked away and I was dying. I thought when she left me standing outside the after party last night she had taken a part of me with her but I was wrong. When she pulled herself out of my arms it was like someone ripped my heart out of my chest. I had to speed this up I needed her to know it was my behind the texts. So that’s why I dropped the hint. The longer it took for her to catch on the more hours went by where I was incomplete. My phone went off
C:I know you were in the crowd tonight I am so sorry for what harry did.
This was my chance to maybe change the cards.
H:You know you guys look good together. You should think about maybe dating him
C:But then I would be totally blowing you off
H:Not really we don’t even know each other. I wouldn’t have any hard feelings
C:I can’t
H:Why don’t you like him?
C:Like him? I have been in love with him for 4 years everything about him. His eyes, the way he pretends to be innocent, how big his heart is, that smile that just takes away the pain. Can I call you?
Shit. Well I guess I could try my American accent and see how well I can make it work
H: Yeah of course
My phone rang and I answered it immediately
“Hello” I answered talking as much unlike me as I could
“Hi” she replied
“Do you normally like to talk to strangers?”
“I just needed someone to actually talk to”
“Okay let’s talk”
“Guys like Harry they just... They don’t fall for girls like you” she said after a moment of silence
“What do you mean girls like you?”
“You know” She paused “Broken, damaged.”
I cringed hearing her refer to herself like that.
“Why do you feel that way?” I pushed
“If I told you everything I have gone through you wouldn’t believe me”
“Let’s hear it”
Then she let me have it. She told me her whole life story about her abusive bipolar mother and being raped by her fathers best friend to dropping out of school to be with a boy who abused her then left her with nothing for a man. How she tried to commit suicide on more than one occasion and how music is the only thing that saved her life. I just wanted to hold her.
