Love In The City
♡ Chapter 23 ♡
Diana’s POV
“You need to get out of here!” exclaims Angie.
“No I think I just want to stay home.” I reply on the phone. I really don’t want to go out but some of the girls who work at GMA are insisting I go.
“Please, you always say you will go then the actual night you cancel.” Pouts Angie over the phone. I have a feeling she won’t let me skip this time. Shit.
“Fine, just give me twenty minutes to get ready.” I reply angrily before hanging up.
I walk to my mirror and take a good look at myself. I always get ready but cancel last minute because it doesn’t feel right clubbing without him. So I don’t actually need 20 minutes. I’m technically ready to go, physically that is. Definitely not emotionally.
I look at my little black dress and get flashbacks from the first day Harry and I really started talking. My father’s funeral. It’s been 5 years and everyday I think about my father.
I grip the mirror sink and tell myself that I’m okay. I take a moment to breathe and look at my reflection in the mirror again.
Damn. Harry’s crazy. He probably thinks I’ve completely moved on, but he’s out of his mind, to even think that he hasn’t been on my mind. He’s all I think about. He’s the only one I’m still breathing for. I don’t have my mom or dad and the only thing keeping me going is Harry.
It’s so strange. I love him so much yet every time I look him in the eyes I can’t say how I’m feeling and I can’t tell him ‘I love you’ because I know for a fact that he doesn’t feel the same anymore.
My phone buzzes and it’s a text from Angie saying that she’s here. I sigh deeply and grab my clutch. Time to drink away the night and the pain.
Harry’s POV (Play this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdBAfp2eizw )
Niall, Liam and I hop into the limo and we head off for the club. Being the only single guys in the band we go clubbing a lot. For Liam and Niall, it’s just a fun day for them, for me it’s the best way to help ease the pain that Diana causes, for at least a few hours.
Whenever I’m high or drunk it’s like the pain is numbed. Yet even when I’ve smoked more than necessary, I still see her. I sometimes see her face on other girls face. That’s usually the girl I end up taking home. New girl every night, same heartache.
We arrive at the club and I head to the bar instantly. It’s as though I have a routine. Wake up, interviews, concert, go clubbing, get drunk, fuck and then repeat. I feel sick from the life I’m living but there’s nothing I can do. I miss her too much.
Diana’s completely over me, and I still love her. I take a swig of my beer and before I know it I’ve somehow managed to finish the whole bottle.
I see a girl that has the same hair as Diana so I walk over and I grab her and take her away from her friends without seeing her face. We start to dance and I can’t stop thinking about what she looks like from the front. I take her and turn her around to see her face and my heart stops. She looks exactly like Diana.
“Harry?” she asks teary eyed. I look in her eyes and I just know.
It is Diana. This isn’t a dream this time.
Diana’s POV
We arrive at the club and the girls drag me over to the bar to take some shots. I take about three and we go to the dance floor. I’m surprisingly having a good time.
The music is so loud my body is practically vibrating. That could also be the liquor though.
I feel two strong hands grab me and I get taken away from my friends somehow. We start to dance and I still haven’t seen the guys face. He’s a good dancer. He dances familiarly.
I really want to see what he looks like, but at the same time, I don’t because I know it won’t be Harry.
All of a sudden he turns me around and my heart stop beating.
“Harry?” I ask. I can feel the tears forming in my eyes and I don’t care.
“Yeah, it’s me love.” He replies. I can barley hear him when he speaks again but from the way he’s looking at me I can tell he’s sorry.
“YOU CAN’T HEAR ME CAN YOU?” he yells. I shake my head and he pulls out his phone.
I get a text and immediately read it.
From Harry –
I’m sorry </3 I will never mistreat you ever again. I will never let you walk away ever again. Ever. I love you.
I look up and before I can give him a kiss, he kisses me. The whole world seems to slow down and all I see is him and me forever and forever.
When the kiss finally breaks I lean in to his ear and whisper “Never leave me again.”
“Never again.” He says back.
“Forever?” I say into his ear
“Forever.” He reply’s.
“Wanna get out of here?” he yells.
I nod happily and we book it out of the club. We walk outside and paparazzi are taking hundreds of photos of us.
“Shit.” I mutter.
“Don’t be scared. I don’t care if they know.” Harry says smirking. He then grabs me and dips me before giving me a long passionate kiss.
“Lets go.” I reply laughing as we hop in a cab.
Harry directs the cab where to go and we cuddle in the back seat. We arrive at my place and before we get out the cab driver speaks.
“Don’t tell anyone, but I always knew you guys would get back together.” He says smiling.
“Are you-?” I ask when he interrupts.
“Yes a Directioner. A forty five year old father of three and a Directioner. Call me crazy but I love your music.” He says extending an arm to Harry.
Harry shakes his arm before we talk to him and pay him for the ride. Harry was also kind enough to sign some autographs for him and his daughters.
Finally we make it upstairs and we decide to watch TV.
“What ya want doll?” he asks running to the kitchen
“Any type of ice cream that’s in there.” I reply running to the TV to put in a DVD.
“Cookie Dough? I know it’s your favorite.” He sings. I laugh before yelling that I wanted it.
“From the carton?” he asks holding two spoons and walking towards me.
”How else?” I reply smiling.
We both jump on couch and I start the movie. Were watching 21 Jump Street because… well I don’t know why. I know most couples watch cheesy love movies but, I think we both just feel like a laugh.
Then when I start to feel okay a thought runs through my mind. Were back together. So soon. Is this going to crash just as fast as it started.
“Were not moving too fast. Don’t worry.” Harry reassures me.
“Mind reader?” I ask him laughing and shaking my head.
“No, I just know you. I never stopped loving you so technically we’ve been together in each others hearts.” He replies smirking.
“Cheesy.” I joke.
“Aren’t I?” he replies as we both burst into laughter.
After we stop laughing I realize that maybe a relationship isn’t what’s best for us.
“Harry. I don’t know if I want a relationship.” I admit nervously.
“Then what do you want?” he asks calmly.
“I-I don’t know.” I admit.
“Well, when you figure out, I’ll be right here. Sitting on this couch with ice cream ready to hear you out.” He replies smiling.
“You’re not mad?” I ask quickly.
“No, not at all. I understand this is all a bit much. I mean we just started talking again and I want to be your boyfriend but I know I’m not the only one anymore so I understand.” He says sounding a bit hurt.
“There’s no one else.” I reply confused. Who’s he talking about?
“What about that Zach kid?” he asks. How does he know about that?
“Niall told me. Some Directioners sent him a picture and he showed me.” Harry reveals.
“He was just a temporary fix. “ I say to ease his suspicions.
“Is it too much to ask how far you went?” he questions.
“Not as far as you think. We just kissed.” I reply and when I do he tenses up but stays calm.
“I would ask how far you went with Kendall but I’m pretty sure I know.” I study his face and I can tell he’s guilty. His face looks hurt and disgusted.
“I don’t know what I was thinking. I’m so sorry, I should have never gone that far with her.” He apologizes.
“Harry it’s fine don’t worry about it. I had a thing with Zach and you had a thing with Kendall, were eve-” Harry cuts me off and stands up.
“No it’s not. If I had just been a man and a better boyfriend you would have never left me and gone with that fucker. And I wouldn’t have gone with you know who.” He says angrily.
“Harry calm down. It’s okay.” I say soothingly. He breathes heavily but calms down.
“I’m sorry, it’s just. All my fault.”
“No it’s not stop being so hard on yourself. Were both at fault.” I reply trying to diffuse the situation.
“I don’t want this to end in a fight Diana.” He speaks exactly what I was thinking.
“Same.” I reply hugging him. He hugs me back and were both facing the window with a view of the city.
“I keep loosing you.” Harry says after a while breaking the silence.
“No you don’t.”
“Yes I do.” He reply hugging me a little tighter.
“I never stop loving you, so you’ve never lost me.” I feel him relax more and I know everything’s getting better. It’s not 100% okay and it never will, but were getting better.
“Harry, I’m lost in this city without you.”
“I’m lost anywhere without you.” He reply’s kissing my head.
“So let’s be lost together.” I say giggling.
“Sounds good to me.”
We stand there for what seems like forever until we both go to sleep. My nightmares are now peaceful dreams because my darling is with me. We may not be the same as we were before, but were back together. That’s all that matters.
“You need to get out of here!” exclaims Angie.
“No I think I just want to stay home.” I reply on the phone. I really don’t want to go out but some of the girls who work at GMA are insisting I go.
