Sophia's POV

I gaped at the stranger. Who was she?
She seemed to have an affect on everyone.

Perrie made a noise and placed Sadie on my lap before running out of the room. Zayn chased after her.

Luke and Ashton looked as clueless as I did.
Ashton shrugged and continued watching the movie.

Eleanor gripped Louis' arm and he clenched his fist. Both of their knuckles were white.

At the angle I was sitting at, I could see everything perfectly.

I watched as the stranger pulled Niall into a kiss.
"I missed you." She whispered.

Niall stiff with shock, turned to us.

The chick had a nice style. She wiped her eyes and turned
to face us.

Sadie had fallen asleep, so I cradled her upright and placed her head on my shoulder.


I felt underdressed as I saw her outfit once moré. Her makeup was precise and neat, her hair perfectly styled.

Her eyes roamed around the room. Her eyes landed on Sadie. I held her closer and saw as the gurl's eyes watered. I know who that is. Was it Cassey? Cassidy? Or Mahlia.

"Cassia." Harry said getting up.

He walked towards her and pulled her into a hug. I could tell there was some tension between them. They never let go, and I could feel the jealousy washing over me.

"Phia. Let's go." Louis and El said, pulling me up to my feet.

"Don't cry, babe." Eleanor said.

Cry? Oh. I felt the saltiness of the tears on my lips.

They led me to the den the girls and I used.

Perrie looked up at me, eyes red and watery. She sat on the floor while Zayn sat on a box used for storing makeup.

She stood up, taking Sadie from my grasp and handing her to Zayn.

She wrapped her arms around me, and we both silently cried.

I sat on the ground.
"What if Harry goes back to her?" I whispered.

"He won't, love. He loves you too much." Louis said.

"That's impossible. We've only been together for two hours." I said. The words sunk in. Two hours.

The door opened, and Ashton peered his head.

"Jesus Christ. Phi, you okay?" He asked.

I sniffed and nodded, rubbing my hands over my eyes.
"Yeah. Just a bit anxious and jealous." I admitted.

Eleanor, Louis and Liam kept assuring me Harry wouldn't leave me. They said he loved me.

"Just stop. Please." I groaned, covering my ears.

"Let's go outta here. Take a break." Ashton said, pulling me to my feet.

Perrie patted me on the back.
"You should go." She assured me.

I walked down the hall with Ash at my side.

We walked into the living room.

Niall, Cassia, and Harry turned to look at me.

I kept my head down, guided my Ash's band on my back.

"Sophia?" Harry asked.

I ignored him and walked to the door.

"Don't call or text." Ashton said, shutting the door.

I followed him to where his car was parked.

As we pulled out, my phone dinged.

From: Harry
Where are you going? Call me.

I sighed and turned off my phone.

Ashton rolled down my window, and I stared at the blurs whizzing by.

"I don't have a chance." I said, blowing the hair away from my face.

We pulled up to the fro-yo shop.

"Before we get down, I need to set things straight. We will not talk about what just happened. We will hang out like any other normal couple of friends. Two, I don't share yogurt. Get your own." Ashton said, grinning.

"Wasn't planning on it." I replied.

As we went Inside, some fans took pictures with Ashton.

"You're the girl from the LUMF. Right?" A teenage fan said.

"Yeah." I said.

"I knew it! Can I get a picture with you?" The girl said grinning.

"Me?" I asked, pointing at myself.

"Well obvi." She said, rolling her eyes.

I pulled Ashton into the selfie. The girl nearly exploded with excitement.

"Bye!" She said, leaving the shop.

I dispensed cheesecake yogurt mixed with a berry mix, and poured a scoopful of berries, cheesecake bites and strawberry boba.

Ashton's was chocolate and strawberry and dumped with chocolate syrup and sprinkles and gummjes.

As we sat outside on the patio, the employees asked if we wanted them to close off the patio.

"No. We don't mind." Ashton said smiling.

"What did you do to your yogurt?" I asked.

"What did I do?!? It's called creativity. Yours is all themed and matching." Ashton said.

"You sure you know what creativity means?" I asked.

"You wound me, Jones. I'm not stupid." He said.

"Hey. I need some advice from a celeb. Should I get an Instagram?" I asked, licking the back of my spoon.

"Totally. We like to take turns posting videos on ours. I'll be your first follower." He said, smiling. He ran his hand through his hair.

"Why do you wear so many bracelets? Is it a trend or something?" I asked, pointing to his wrists.

He looked at his wrists and sighed.
"I cut them."

My eyes widened.
"W-why?" I whispered.

"You wouldn't understand." He said, shaking his head.

"I know more than you think." I said.
I scooted my chair over.

Making sure no one saw, I began to roll up my pants, further than my knees.

"Whoa. What are you doing?" Ashton hissed.

I ignored him and rolled them until they reached an inch or two.

"You weren't the only one." I said.

Ashton touched the discolored lines.

"I'm sorry." He said. I pulled my pants down.

He unlaced his bracelets, untied some few.

I ran my fingers along the pink lines.

"The fans would be happy to know you didn't break your promise." I told him.

"I wouldn't want to let them down." He said .

He tied the bracelets. He struggled with the last one.

I leaned over and tied the bracelet for him.

Pulling my phone out, I downloaded the Instagram app.

"What should my username be?" I asked.

"Hmm.. just @sophiajones ." He said.

"All done!" I said smiling.

"I need to post a picture. Come on." He said, tossing our empty cups and running to his car. He hopped on the hood and patted it. "Sit." He said.

I placed a foot on the bumper of the car and pushed myself onto the car. I panted. "I have no.. Strength." I laughed.

A group of girls left the froyo shop. One girl dropped her cup when she saw Luke.

"Hello. Can one of you take a picture of us?" He said, smiling.

The tallest of the girls stepped forward.

"One. Two. Three." She said taking a picture.

A flower fell in my hands and I looked up. I raised my hands as the wind blew more blossoms down.

"Here you go." She said, and ran off with her friends.

His phone rang.
"Hey Mikey." He said.

Ashton listened intently.
"Yeah. Be there soon."

He jumped off the hood and helped me down.
"They want us to come back."

The car ride was silent.

"Did you see the paparazzi?" He asked.

"That was no paps. That was TMZ." I told him.

"I hope you don't mind I post the picture." He said, parking the car.

"No. Not at all." I said smiling.

He opened the door.

I stepped inside, and he followed me.

"Where the hell have you been?" Harry asked, coming down the stairs and striding towards me.

He opened his arms to hug me, but I turned away.

"I'm going home." I said.

Harry clenched his jaw.
"Can everyone give us space?" He asked.

Our friends shuffled out back to the den.

Harry leaned inwards with his palms on the couch, looking like he was doing push-ups.

"Why did you leave?" He asked. His voice was raw and full of emotion.

"We'll talk later." I said, walking away.

He gripped my arm and pulled me closer.
"Don't push me away. We are talking. Now."

I felt the stinging sensation prick my eyes.
"She's back." I stated, my voice monotonous.

"So?" Harry said.

I pulled my arm from his grasp.
"You don't need me anymore." I said, my voice breaking.

Harry held my chin.
"She's back. You and Sadie don't need me anymore." I said.

I pushed his hand away.

"Babe. Wait." He said.

"What, Harry?"

"I need you." He said.

I looked down at my shoes.

"Look at me. You know 'You & I' word for word, note by note. You know what it means."

I looked up at him, wiping a tear away.

"You and I.
We don't want be like them.
We can make it through the end.
Nothing can come between you and I.
Not even the gods above,
Can separate the two of us."

He sang random lines from the song, his voice low and clear.

"I'm not giving up on you." He said.

"Promise?" I whispered.

"Promise." Harry wrapped his arms around me.

I stepped back. Although I saw the hurt look on his face, I spoke.

"I need to go. Have some time." I told him.

He nodded.

Perrie came out of the room.
"I'll take you." She offered.

I said goodbye to everyone.

"Thank you." I told Ashton, hugging him.

He squeezed me back.
"Anything for my best friend." He said.

I didn't look at Harry on our away out.

Perrie turned on the radio.

"Say Something" came on.

The reality of the words sank in.

"Sorry. I'll turn it off. Next right?" Perrie apologized.

I gave her the directions .

I unlocked the door and stepped in.

Perrie went in my room and sat on the bed.

I kicked my shoes off and burrowed into the sheets.
Perrie climbed in.

"Mind if I stay?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"did you forget ?" She asked.

"Forget what?" I asked.

"The tour? You guys are leaving tomorrow night." She said.

"Oh. Yeah..." I said. "Movie?"

"We shall feed your nerd hunger. CaptainAmerica?" She said smiling.

"Oh Perrie you know me so well." I laughed.
