Harry's POV.

I was sitting at Lou's flat with the boys, we were all crowded around the dining room table talking about things to come up next with the band. Thankfully we were on a break now for a few more weeks. We majorly needed this time off, we all love what we do and we love the fans but after a bit it gets pretty exhausting. We looked to the front door to Eleanor walk in and hang up her bag and her keys.

" I was starting to get worried about you love, it's half past 2!" Lou said to her as she sat on his lap and he wrapped his arms around her stomach.

"Apprently you were so worried that you decided to call me.."sarcastically she replied. "I'm pooped, I think I'm going to head to bed. Night boys." She said to us all as she got up and kissed Louis goodnight.

"Oh also boys, don't make plans for this weekend. We are having a party for Ashlynn for her birthday. That includes you too Harry." she said as she walked out of the room. I was honestly surprised that it included me.Something told me that I needed to talk to her before then though. I ran after El and followed her upstairs ready to grill her about that nights events.

"EL, WAIT!" she turned around to wait for me as I walked up the stairs with her." What happened at Ashlynn's and how am I invited, she hates me." I asked her.

"I helped her unpack her stuff and we just talked a lot. She misses you Harry, but you did mess up. At first I thought she was over reacting about all of it. But after we talked for endless hours tonight I do understand why she takes what happened to heart so much. She's been through a lot.." she informed me.

"Like what kind of stuff has she been through?" I asked El hoping she would crack and tell me. " Eleanor you have to tell me, please." I begged of her.

"No, Harry. That's not my place. She was already kind of upset that you told me what happened with her and her ex boyfriend. I'm not going to break that trust. Shes a really good friend and a person and I don't intend on hurting her anymore than she's already been hurt. Sorry, now if you don't mind I am going to go to sleep. If you are smart you will call Ashlynn in the morning." she said to me now a little frustrated with my neediness. It wasn't that I was being needy, El was just the only person I could really talk to about this. The guys never know what to say they just always say how stupid I am and how I could have handled it better.

---------------------------------------

Ashlynn's POV.

I woke up around 8AM the next morning, I put my running shoes on decided to run till I couldn't feel my legs anymore. I needed to get all of these things off of my mind, this was the only way I knew how. About 15 minutes in to my run I decided to run to El and Lou's flat to wake her up and bother them.

I arrived at the flat to see multiple cars in the front. I went up to the front door and rang the door bell about 5 times till someone answered.

"Ashlynn..what are you doing here..what time is it?" Liam asked me while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"Me? You don't live here! I came to talk to El. It's 8:30! TIME TO WAKE UP!" I walked in saying to him while I saw multiple bodies sprawled out around the living room. Laughing out loud I said, " did y'all have a sleepover last night and not invite me? HOW DARE YOU LIAM?!" making him laugh he said " Yeah..kinda. We all had a bit to drink and didn't want to drive home. Next time we will invite you."

"Where's El?" I asked him.

"She actually left like 10 minutes ago. She went shopping with Perrie and some other things I suppose. Want some coffee...maybe some water. You're kind of sweaty.." he said to me making me realize that Harry was probably here. His range rover was in the front. So I asked.

"Where's harry?" he pointed upstairs telling me he was asleep in the guest room. I didn't care what kind of terms we were on. I missed him and wanted to see him.

I walked upstairs till I saw him in the king size bed passed out. I was still hurt with everything that had happened but at the same time he was the only person I wanted to talk to. I went to the restroom and got a cup full of ice cold water. I stood at the doorway deciding how to go about this.

I climbed on top of the bed standing on the opposite side of him pouring the water on his bare chest and face! " GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE! RISE AND SHINE!" I yelled at him while pouring the water causing him to scream and fall off the bed. I sat criss cross on the bed waiting for him to return next to me.

" Dammit Eleanor. " he huffed.

"Not Eleanor curly.." I said to him hoping he would realize it was me so I didn't have to spell it out for me.


Harry's POV.

"Not Eleanor curly.." it wasn't El...it was Ashlynn. What was she doing here? I sat up from the ground seeing her sitting on the bed waiting for me to rise.

"What are you doing here...did you run here?" asking her realizing she looked like she had been working out.

"I came to talk to you..and yeah. I figured if I ran all the way over here I would be upset with myself if I ran back and didn't talk to you cause now my legs feel like jello." she said to me causing me to smile.

"Well I'm glad you're here..even if you did wake me up with a bucket of water.." I said to her sarcastically causing her to laugh.

"Oh calm down Styles, it was a little cup of water." She said blushing.

"So, where do you wanna start? Ya know with the talking that is..." I said to her nervously scared of how this conversation was going to go.

" I was hoping you could start..so I could follow up and catch my breath." she told me looking down nervous also. I nodded and began telling her how I felt about our little fall out we had the other day.

"Look, I know I didn't react in the best way possible. I was just upset. I know it was hard for you to tell me about that night and you told me and I threw it back in your face. That wasn't ohkay, I'm an idiot. I went downstairs cause I kind of have a short temper...I'm working on it. But I was punching the table and being a baby. I was so mad, I can't imagine someone doing that to you..I don't want to imagine it and knowing someone hurt you like that especially someone you trusted and loved so much makes me sick. I care about you more than I realized and it kind of freaks me out...What I said while I was driving you home was not ohkay...it was totally out of line, and I deserve to be punched in the dick because of it. I'm sorry for that but I didn't mean it. I would save you over and over again no matter where we stood the next day. You matter to me and I don't want you to think for a second that you don't...I'm just so so sorry, ohkay? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot. " I now said to her with my head in my hands tears in my eyes...I was a dick and saying it all out loud to her made me realize just how much I messed up.


Ashlynn's POV.

"...You matter to me and I don't want you to think for a second that you don't...I'm just so so sorry, ohkay? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot. " Harry said to me with his head dropped in his hands now crying.

"Shh please don't cry.. I didn't come all the way over here so we could cry..I came over here so we could solve things." I said to him while wrapping my arms around him, rubbing his back trying to calm him down.

"You just deserve so much better, and I've been over here basically bragging about how I can treat you right then I go on and treat you like that.." he said to me.

"Hey...It was a lot to take in. Don't you ever for a second think that you're not better than him cause you are. You treat me so great...everyone has a weak point Harry. Ours just happened to be at the same time. I want to get past this. But we have to let ourselves get past it. You are so amazing, but I'm not like the rest of these girls that you know. I'm stubborn and guarded and I'm scared. If we need to sit down and tell each other all the bad things we have been through, we can do that. But seriously Harry...a few days ago when I got the news that Shannon and Don loved my pictures you were the only person I wanted to call..and I couldn't. I miss you..a lot. And coming over here and telling you all of this wasn't easy. But I want to be with you. I want to try and make this work. I feel like you're this missing piece that I have been searching for and I'm going to be an idiot to let this ruin that..yeah you hurt me a lot but right now in this moment I don't care. I just want you in my life and I feel stupid about all of it cause I just met you and this is all happening so fast but I don't care." I said to him now relieved that I had gotten everything off my chest from these past few days. I needed him in my life, he needed me in his.

He placed his hand on my cheek and smiled so big that made me smile. He kissed me so softly like we had been searching for each other for an eternity.

"I don't deserve you.." he said to me placing his forehead against mine.

"Probably not..but who gives. " I said to him sarcastically making him irrupt in laughter. He kissed me and held me in his arms as we drifted off back into sleep. I never wanted him to let me go.
