I knock urgently on Grace’s door banging harder than I normally would hoping this would hurry her up opening it. Grace finally opens the door looking a little pissed at the rude intrusion with Bella holding protectively onto the hem of her skirt.

Grace’s face softens a little when she see’s it’s me.

‘He did it again Grace.’ I burst into tears surprising Grace and even myself. ‘This is the third time.’

Grace gently grabs my arm and pulls me into the warmth of her home. I remember that she is with Bella and try to calm myself down as I don't want to worry her. I look down and Bella is half hidden behind her mother and is looking at me a little upset.

‘What do you mean third?’ Grace asks confused.

I retell the story of last night in the alleyway and the events of what has just happened in my kitchen.

Grace’s raises her eyebrows and shakes her head. ‘It’s obvious he just wants to talk to you properly but is finding it hard too. You need to go to him so you can talk it out. It will be easier that way.’

I sniff back a few more tears and nod. Grace is right, I need to talk to him or this will just continue. ‘Ok. I will talk to him tomorrow.’

We finish our conversation just as Niall walks in and he smiles at us before seeing my red tear stained eyes. ‘You alright Samii?’

‘Yea she’s fine. We were just chatting about work tomorrow.’ Grace says for me and I smile gratefully at her.

‘Are the other boys still at mine?’ I ask turning to Niall.

‘No they left before I did. You’re safe to go back.’ Niall laughs.

I smile at him and turn back to Grace. Bella is still half hidden behind Grace and I bend down to her level.

‘Samii kiss.’ Bella mumbles and I smile. I know when she says this she means she wants a kiss. I open my arms wide and she smiles and runs into them and I attack her with kisses placing them all over her face causing her to giggle.

I release Bella and stand giving Niall and Grace a kiss goodbye and start my journey home.

*Grace’s P.O.V*
As the door clicks closed I sigh and rub my head.

‘Let me guess.’ Niall smiles and picks Bella up placing her gently on his hip. ‘The work thing was a lie.’

I give him a ‘was it that obvious look?’ and he laughs causing Bella to start giggling.

‘You aren't a good liar. Was it about Harry?’ Niall suddenly becomes serious and gives Bella his sunglasses to play with to distract her from pulling at his hair.

I nod and Niall groans. ‘We both know how this will end Grace.’

*Samii’s P.O.V*
I look down at Liam as he sleeps and I smile at the way he mumbles in his sleep. The smile soon fades as I remember what I'm about to do. I hadn't told Liam I was going to see Harry and I had no plan too. He would go crazy at me. I lent down and placed a gentle kiss on his lips and he moaned in satisfaction and rolled over.

I quickly moved through the flat to get out before my guilt washed over me and changed my mind. I had to do this no matter how hard it was going to be.

I start to retrace the familiar steps to my old home and the guilt is soon replaced with nerves. The weather isn’t sure what is wants as it’s sunny but it’s raining a little so I’m wearing a coat and sunglasses. The road is fairly busy as it’s still quite early so the morning traffic is still buzzing.

I turn a corner onto the street where Harry’s flat is and the first thing I notice is his Black Range Rover. My mind instantly thinks back to the many steamy sessions we had shared in the back seat of his car. When we had been out on dates and couldn't wait to get back to our flat, which was part of the reason Harry always instructed me to wear dresses.

I shake my head in an attempt to clear the thoughts from my head. I can’t be thinking about Harry like that anymore. At the moment I wouldn't even class him as a friend and if I didn't keep my head clear he could easily draw me in again.

I close the gap between me and the flat quickly as I start to take larger steps. I want this over and done with desperately so I can go back to my husband at home. I straighten my clothes out a little and stand a bit taller to make it look like I wasn't nervous at all but I think my shaking hands might give it away.

I ring the doorbell and stand back a little. One of my tactics was to not get too close to Harry. About 2 minutes had passed when the door finally opened revealing Harry who I had clearly just woken up as his eyes were half open. He was only dressed in a pair of sweats and his hair was pushed out of his face.

His eyes opened fully when he saw it was me and we stood in silence for a few moments before Harry stepped to one side letting me in. I walked into the flat that was once my home and it hadn't changed much apart from it was a little dirtier then when I had lived there. Obviously housework wasn't high on Harry’s to do list.

The door closes behind me and I can feel Harry staring into my back. ‘Why are you here Samii?’ His morning voice croaks.

I turn around and face him. He is leaning against the door with his arms crossed looking slightly unimpressed that he has been woken up for this.

‘We need to talk Harry.’ I say trying to calm my shaking hands.

Harry laughs and walks past me into the living room. ‘What’s there to talk about? You married my best friend.’

I follow him into the living room but he doesn’t sit down. I walk so I’m in front of him. ‘Yes I did because I love him.’ Harry pulls a face almost of disgust. ‘You left Harry and you're not going to mess this up for me.’

‘You don't love him.’ Harry was in my face now and was raising his voice. ‘You were a lonely girl with a broken heart and just needed somebody to mend the heart I had broken. Liam was just in the right place at the right time. It could have been anyone else.’

Harry’s words had angered me and before I could say anything I slapped him hard around the face causing his head to turn with my hand. I take my shaking and stinging hand away from his face and cover my mouth, shocked at my actions. Tears started to sting the back of my eyes as Harry’s head slowly turns back towards me.

‘You don't love Liam bird, you love me.’ Harry’s cheek has turned a light shade of pink.

I shake my head and the tears spill over my face. I turn and walk towards the door with Harry calling after me. The rain has started to pour down as I walk out into the street. I stop at the bottom of the stairs as Harry follows me out. I turn around and he is now wearing a shirt.

‘Why did you leave Harry? Why did you leave me?’ I talk through the tears as Harry joins me at the bottom of the stairs.

‘I had no choice Samii. I had to get Chris for what he did to me but if I knew I would lose you I would have never gone. I was stupid to believe you would wait for me.’ Harry said as the rain beat down on us causing Harry’s hair to fall flat over his forehead.

His confession causes me to cry harder and I struggle to get my words out. ‘It’s too late Harry, I'm married. It was over between us.’

‘It wasn't over Samii'. Harry pauses. 'And it still isn’t over.’

Harry closes the gap between us and he crashes his lips down to mine with the rain still pouring down around us.
