Ashlynn's POV.

Harry insisted on driving me home and since I wasn't going to walk I let him. We got in his blacked out Range Rover. Then soon headed to my apartment. I sat in the silent car thinking to myself "This is why I walked away from you at the store." then realizing i said it out loud. OH SHIT I said it out loud...THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY IN MY HEAD.

"Excuse me?" he asked me with his feelings hurt. "Nothing. Just drop it." I said to him.

"Right now I am kind of wishing I wouldn't have came and rescued you 2 nights ago.." he said to me under his voice. I know I was harsh with him. But that hurt, a lot. So much that my eyes started watering up.


Harry's POV.

"Right now I am kind of wishing I wouldn't have came and rescued you 2 nights ago.." I said to her under my voice. Why the hell did I just say that? I sure as hell didn't mean it. I was just so upset.

She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said with a straight face, "Then next time, don't save me. I don't need you." I think the words I said to her hurt her more than that asshole who tried raping her. She deserved to be loved and cared for and in the past 30 minutes I have done the exact opposite.

"Ash, I didn't mean it...I'm so-" I was cut off by her opening her car door when I stopped at the red light and getting out. "Save it for your next victim Styles. Go save someone who actually gives 2 shits." she slammed the door and ran off.

I sat at the light punching the steering wheel, what had I done? Why was I so stupid and so insensitive? Eleanor is going to have my head when she hears about this one. I watched her run away and I couldn't bring myself to move. I just sat there watching the best thing that had happened to me run the other way.



Ashlynn's POV.

After running for what felt like 2 miles I finally got to my apartment with tears spilling everywhere. I knew he didn't mean what he said but either way he thought it and said it. All it made me think of was my Dad and how he told me he didn't want me saving him..that he wanted to die. That I was his worthless daughter who screwed everything up. Maybe he was right, maybe I did mess everything up. That's why nothing ever worked out.

I showered and changed into my pajamas, I layed in my bed till I fell asleep. I know it was only 11AM but I was so physically, emotionally, and mentally drained. All I could think of was sleeping. I turned my phone off deciding I didn't want to hear from anyone for the next 20
hours.


Eleanor's POV.

I was laying on the couch with Louis wondering how Ashlynn&Harry's time spent together was. Curious enough I called Ashlynn hoping she would tell me all the dirty details. I liked them together and Harry needed a girl like her, let's just hope he didn't do anything to mess this up.

I dialed her number and it went straight to voice mail.."Hola amigos, you've reached Ashlynn! Sorry I can't come to my phone right now, I am apparently a little busy doing something else! Leave a message and I will call you back as soon as I can! BYYYYE" I laughed at her voice mail and hung up and decided to call again. "Hola amigos, you've reached Ashlynn! Sorry I can't come to my phone right now, I am apparently a little busy doing something else! Leave a message and I will call you back as soon as I can! BYYYYE" damnit it Ash, answer your phone.

"Hey stranger, you're not answering I hope Harry didn't kill you! Call me later! Either way I will see you tomorrow at our meeting at 9AM can't wait! Bye!" I hung up the phone and then called Harry.

It rang for a while before he finally answered, "Hello".
"Hey Harold! WHATCHA DOING BUDDY?!" I asked him hoping he would tell me all about Ashlynn. "Driving El, what do you want?" Geez. What a buzz kill. "Nothing I was just calling to see if you wanted to come over for dinner tonight?" I asked him assuming it was a bad idea to ask about Ashlynn. "No, thanks." And with his rejection to my dinner invite, he hung up the phone.

I looked to Louis, "what's wrong love?" he asked me with concern on his face. "I think we need to go check on Harry." I told him worried sick.


Louis' POV.

"I think we need to go check on Harry." she said. As much as I did not want to get up off this couch I knew if Eleanor said we needed to go check on Harry we needed to go check on him. She had a certain intuition about these things. When my grandad had a heart attack last year she woke up in the middle of the night with a chest pain saying we need to go check on him. We drove 40 minutes to his home to find him in his kitchen on the floor in cardiac arrest. He's ohkay now but I always say that Eleanor saved his life; because she did.

We got up and headed out the door. Harry's flat was close enough to walk to that it took us 10 minutes to get there on foot. We arrived at his home to see his range rover parked in front. We knocked on the door for about 5 minutes and he never came. Eleanor knew where the spare key was so we unlocked the door and walked in. Harry no where in sight.

I walked up the stairs to find Harry lying on the floor playing with something in his hand. I'm scared to even know what happened. Whatever it was, it wasn't good.


Harry's POV.

I was lying on the floor in my room when I heard someone knock on the door. I knew it was El and Lou but I saw no point in letting them in. She knew where the spare was. I heard footsteps come up the stairs and I layed my head to face the wall when I saw something shiny. It was Ashlynn's necklace, she must of dropped it when she was getting her stuff together. I held it in my hands wondering the significance behind it.

"You ok man?" Louis sat on the bed staring at me.

"I don't know man. Just so confused." I said to him in total honesty.

El was standing in the door way when she cleared her throat signalling Louis to leave so she could have a word alone with me. Louis got up knowing she would know what to say and how to say it. She always did.

"What happened? Tell me. Go on." She told me as she lied next to me staring at the ceiling. My eyes began to water up as I began to tell her everything that happened. " I just messed up El. I'm such an ass. No wonder she didn't want anything to do with me." She looked disappointed in the words I had told her. She understood where Ashlynn was coming from, her dad used to abuse her so she was even more upset when I told her what I had said to her in the car on the way to dropping her off at her's.

"You know what Harry, in that moment you were an asshole, a huge one. But that's not who you are. She told you those things because she trusted you. Those aren't just things she goes on telling random strangers. She trusted you enough to tell you and you through it back in her face. You have to show her you care. If that's too hard for you then stop your bitching and move on but if you care enough to fix it then you need to start the cleaning up process tomorrow. " she basically yelled at me. I knew she was right, it was Eleanor she was always right. I needed to fix this I just didn't know how.

"You're right. I'll fix it." I looked at her and said. "Good now give me the necklace and I'll give it to her tomorrow. I'm sure she's missing it and is thinking she is never going to get it back." she said to me as she took the silver shaped heart with cross inside of it away from me.

"Wait you're going to see her tomorrow?!" I asked excitingly.
"Yes, we have a meeting with Shannon about our photo shoot." she said answering my question.."And no, you're not going." she informed me as she walked out of my room.

"FIX IT HARRY." She yelled at me down the hall.
