Stephanie's POV

"Oh my god, we are here!" Lucy squeals excitedly as we pass the London Eye. I look away as I get a bad feeling erupt in my stomach.

"Which way now Lucy, what's the sat nav saying?" Chloe asks as she looks carefully at the road.

"You keep going until the end of this road then turn left." Lucy says and I look out of my window as the scenery becomes a little familiar. Chloe turns left and I remember this is the street Harry and I turned into, we're only about five minutes from Jed's.

"How are you feeling being in London?" Niall asks and I look over to him. The truth is it has hit me hard, being here has made it nearly impossible to think of Harry. I force a smile before answering.

"Fine, it's going to be fun!" I say and Niall smiles pleased. I look back away as I realise we are a street away from Jed's. "This is it.." I say as I point to the left.

"We done it, we got here!" Chloe laughs as she parks up outside. I remove my seatbelt and open the car door. It feels weird being back here again.

"Hey Steph!" Jed calls as he walks towards us. I look up at him and smile.

"Hey" I answer and I walk towards him. "This is Niall. Niall this is Jed." I smile as I introduce them. They both shake hands as they greet each other. Lucy and Chloe already know Jed.

"Come on in guys.." Jed says as we grab our bags from the car boot and we start to follow him inside.

Everything is exactly the same as the last time I visited him. I can't find anything different and in a way it's nice. Lucy smiles as she sits down and starts to thank Jed for his hospitality.

"If you're free tonight come out with us!" Lucy beams as she looks at Jed. "But you have to dress up as a superhero." She adds.

"I don't have any outfits." Jed says and Lucy bites her lip thinking.

"Well this is London and it's full of shops! So let's have a look." Lucy answers and Jed laughs. "seriously come on!"

"I'll come!" Chloe says and Niall looks to me.

"I'm going to chill here, if that's okay?" I ask Jed and he nods.

"I'll stay with you," Niall says and I shake my head. "You can't stay on your own." Niall adds.

"I'll be fine. I might have a lie down and re charge my batteries for tonight. So go!" I smile as I know how much he's wanted to explore London. Now's his chance.

"Come on then, I'll drive." Jed says as he picks his car keys up. "won't be long" He adds. I nod and I urge Niall to go, he rolls his eyes and follows them out. I sigh as I sit down on the sofa and I close my eyes. I don't think a little cat nap will do any harm.

Harry's POV

I stare at the clock, I've waited long enough now. I just need to see her more than Louis realises. She may not even be at Jed's, but I'm hoping she is. I keep trying to think of what I want to say to her. So many unsaid things lie loosely at the end of my tongue.

"So have you realised how bad your idea is?" Louis asks as he walks back into the room. I look up at him and I shake my head. "Harry.." Louis sighs. He stops talking as the front door opens.

"Hey only me, turns out I have time owed to me so I've had a short day." Liam calls as he shuts the door.

"We're in here.." Louis calls and Liam appears at the door. He looks to me then to Louis, a look of concern on his face.

"What's going on?" Liam asks and Louis looks to him.

"Stephanie is in London and Harry wants to go and see her." Louis explains and I look away from them.

"Stephanie as in your ex?" Liam's eyes widen. I nod and he gently sighs. "Oh no, but Harry you've come so far with moving on. Why do you want to see her now?" He adds.

"Because I want to make sure she's okay and to make peace." I answer as I stand up. "We don't talk anymore and I just want to say how sorry I am. She deserves it." I say and Louis shakes his head.

"You've said sorry to her, why say it again? This is going to make everything sour if you see her. Just let it go." Louis says but I can't agree with him. He doesn't even know Stephanie.

"I have to agree with Louis. I think you should stay here and keep your mind as fresh as you can. Think about Louise and how much you like her." Liam says. I can't think of Louise right now. Not until I have seen Stephanie.

"I need to talk to her." I say as I walk to the hall way and I grab my coat.

"And what are you going to say to her?" Liam asks as they follow me. I look to them and I shrug.

"I don't know yet." I grab my keys and I open the door, ignoring them calling after me. I quickly unlock my car and jump in.

Stephanie must be staying at Jed's, if she isn't I'm pretty sure he'd tell me where she is. What am I going to say to her? How will she react seeing me? I've not really thought this through but I know I wouldn't rest until I've seen her again.

I take a deep breath as I make my way. She was upset the last time I saw her. She may feel the same as me, coming to some sort of peace will do us both good. I don't want to be on bad terms with Steph. If friends is all we can be then so be it.
I drive a little too fast as my heart starts thumping. Seeing her face is going to be difficult, I know that. I start to think maybe Louis and Liam were right, this isn't a good idea. What if I fall in love her again just by seeing her, it happened before and it can happen again. You idiot Harry.

I can't exactly back out now as I'm nearly at Jed's, my mind has gone blank and can't seem to process any words that are relevant to say.
I turn down the street where Jed lives. The last time I was here wasn't so good, it automatically gives me a bad feeling in my stomach. As I park up outside I look at the building ahead of me, should I just turn around and go home. Then things can go back to how it used to be.

But I can't go back now, I'm here and I should just be a man and see if she's there. I inhale deeply as I open the car door and I step out. As I lock my car, I slowly walk towards the flats.I feel my heart thump harder than it ever has before.
I read the buzzers and I find Jed's number. I sigh as I press the button. I wait until a soft voice speaks through the small speaker.

"Hello?" It's Stephanie. I fall speechless as I tense up on the spot. I know she won't answer if I say it's me. "Hello?" She repeats.

"Hi, delivery for Mr.May" I say in a different voice. Delivery? What the hell am I doing.

"Okay, come up." Stephanie says and the door unlocks. I quickly push it open and step inside. I make my way up the stairs and I see stephanie opening the door.

"Steph.." I say cautiously as I approach her. She looks at me and her eyes widen.

"Harry?" She asks under her breath.I step closer to her but she slowly steps back. God she looks just as beautiful as before. She slowly shakes her head. "What are you doing here?" She asks a little louder.

"I heard you were in London, I just wanted to see you.." I say as I look her in the eye. She looks at me with a look I've not yet seen on her face. She looks horrified.

"But, Why?" She asks but she continues before I can speak. "You can't be here, just go!" She snaps.

"I'm not really sure, I just wanted to see if you're okay" I answer as I place my hands in my pockets. She looks at me in disgust.

"You wanted to see if I was okay?" She mocks me as she turns away and walks inside, I quickly run upto her and barge through the door preventing her from locking me out. "How dare you think you can come here just to see if I am okay!" She snaps louder.

"Steph. I know I hurt you" I stop as she starts to speak over me.

"Yes you hurt me okay! But that does not give you the right to come here uninvited. I don't want to see you Harry, I never want to see you or speak to you again. So just leave!" She says harshly as she turns away from me.

"You don't mean that.."I say and she looks back at me and frowns.

"Oh believe me I do. I hate to inform you that this time I didn't cry after you, I didn't care that you left. I may have felt like shit the first few weeks but that's all. Now I've moved on and I know I'm better off without you! So please don't waste your time." She says as she sits down.

I can't believe who I'm looking at, this isn't Stephanie. She's not rude and nasty. I frown as this was a big mistake, I've turned Stephanie into a bitter cold person.

"Well I'm happy you've moved on, I'm glad you seem okay. I'm just sorry thar you've turned into such a heartless-" I stop myself from calling her any names. I don't want to get that low.

"A heartless what Harry? Bitch? It's fine to call me that. You've broke my heart in a million pieces so I can handle name calling." She snaps and my heart sinks.

"Steph please don't be like this.." I beg as I just want the Stephanie I know to come back.

"This is who I am. A lot has changed. I'm seeing someone who makes me happy and I have friends who are always there for me. I don't like being face to face with the past." Her words make me feel nauseous.

"You're seeing someone?" I mumble as those words hit me hard.

"Niall. I'm seeing Niall." She says and I have to look away. Why is she doing this. I run a hand through my hair.

"Well I hope you and Niall are very happy together." I say as I turn away knowing I have to leave.

"We will because Niall won't let me down or leave me like you did." She snaps and I quickly turn to face her.

"I loved you Steph. I loved you so fucking much so don't give me that. Niall may be perfect and I'm sorry I wasn't. But don't ever insult me like that! " I snap back and she shakes her head.

"Then why did you leave me?! If you loved me so much why would you give up on me?" She shouts.

"You know why Steph! I wanted you here with me but you weren't keen on the idea!" I shout back and she frantically shakes her head.

"I said I wanted to be with you! You wouldn't let me! It's your fault Harry. You lost me so deal with it! Now get out!!" She cries in anger. I frown as I look at this girl I thought I once knew.

"I wasn't going to make you do anything you didn't really want to do. Your heart wasn't in London. I was thinking of you. But we just keep going in circles so what's the point in this?" I ask and she shrugs.

"There is no point. Just leave it, just go and don't come back!" She says without looking at me.

"Why are you suddenly so cold?" I ask and she shakes her head frowning.

"Because you made me like this! I don't want to do this anymore! you're nothing to me like I'm nothing to you!" She answers and I can't believe she is acting like this.

"You really have no idea!" I say harshly as I'm getting more and more wound up now.

"That's where you're so wrong Harry. I've learnt alot since you left. And surprise Harry, I survived without you!" She snaps. "Now go!!" She shouts and I look at her. The way she has no soft gentle vibes that I aways felt around her makes me feel guilty. I don't even know who she is. Her words cut me like knife as I know she wants to hurt me, truth is she's done exactly that.

"Screw you Steph!" I snap as I walk to the door, she starts shouting things at me but I forcefully slam the door behind me.

I'm so pissed off that I came here. She isn't the Stephanie I knew at all. It's my fault for how she is. But how the fuck did I ever turn her into such a cold hearted person.
I feel so angry with myself, that familiar feeling of anger building up inside me makes a return. I need to get home now, I open the outer door and head to my car. Once it's unlocked I sit inside and I hit the steering wheel. How could I be so stupid.

Notes

So poor Harry has finally met Stephanie.
She has changed quite a lot and made it quite clear she's not interested in Harry anymore,
But Harry can't give up that easily, can he?

Please let me know what you think :)
