Before I knew what I was doing, I was pressed up against the wall making out with him. He held me tightly but not forcibly, teasing his lips and tongue around mine. I couldn’t stop – he was completely irresistible – and for the next minute or so, I was enchanted by him.

When rational thinking returned and I realised what the hell was going on, I stepped back and slapped him on the face. Hard. But he gave me a grin and laughed.

“Look”, I whispered angrily. “I told you I’m with Liam!”

“Then what was that?!” he yelled, leaning towards me, his left cheek red from where I hit him.

“There’s something about you – and I don’t know what it is – but I am drawn to you. But please stop doing this. We both know now that I cannot resist you, and I don’t want to hurt anybody”, I said, my eyes beginning to sting with the threat of tears.

Harry closed the distance between us and stared into my eyes, his eyebrows knotted together with a pained look plastered across his face.

“Please don’t cry,” he whispered with his voice breaking.

“I’m sorry, Haylee. You shouldn’t feel this way. I said I would never hurt you, and I intend on keeping my promise.” He continued. He used his thumb to wipe the tears from under my eyes and kissed me on the nose.

“Thank you” I smiled weakly.

“But one day, we will be together. Inseparable, and completely in love.” He said, his eyes still piercing mine.

“I have to go now” I stuttered. I staggered out of the bedroom, putting on a smile to make it seem like nothing was wrong. I ran into Liam’s arms, thankful for the warmth and comfort.

My stomach was going crazy, filling up with both sickness and butterflies.
My head was dazed and confused.

And my heart – my heart was breaking into a million pieces.
