*Sammie’s POV*

“Wow…I can’t believe someone would do that to her. The heartless bastard.” Harry said. I had just told him the story of Angela’s ex boyfriend. How they dated for a year and then like nothing he threw her away, all of a sudden she meant nothing to him.

“Ever since then she hasn’t allowed herself to get close to another guy. I guess she didn’t think she would ever feel that way with you and when she did, she freaked out and panicked.”

“So that’s why she won’t give Harry any chance at all. Poor girl. But it’s been awhile since that happened. Why isn’t she over it by now?” Niall asked concerned.

“Because the only kind of relationship she’s ever known is the horrible kind where she isn’t treated with respect. Harry, it isn’t anything against you personally, she just refuses to date anyone anymore.” I said rubbing his shoulder.

“Will you excuse me for a minute? I wanna call her and apologize.” he says walking to the door.

“Sure, no problem. And…thanks for understanding her situation Haz. It’ll mean a lot to her.”

Harry left the room to call Angela just as Liam, Louis and Zayn walked in from their room which is adjoined with ours.

“Hey what was all that yelling about earlier?...where’s Harry going? And where’s Angela?” said Zayn.

I told them everything that happened and the story about the ex boyfriend and how Harry was calling Angela to apologize. We all feel terrible that this all even happened and we just hope that she’s okay.

*Angela’s POV*

I couldn’t believe what had happened with Harry. I didn’t want to do it, but knew I just couldn’t date him and had to end things before they began. Hopefully I can just put this behind me and we won’t have to ever meet again.

My phone started ringing in my purse. I looked at the caller ID and saw Harry’s face. I thought about rejecting it but I decided to answer. “Hello?”

“Hey, love. Are you all right? Where are you?”

“I just landed back in Chicago. How’s everyone down there?”

“Good. We just wanted to make sure you were okay. And also…I wanted to apologize. I’m sorry that we had that argument at the hotel and I had no idea of your past with your current ex…”

“Haz, you don’t have to apologize. You didn’t know about my past before our argument. I’m guessing Sammie told you after I left?”

“Yeah she did…all of us know now. But that isn’t the point. The point is I’m so sorry and I would like to propose the idea of us just being friends. …would that be all right with you?”

“Uh…. Sure, why not? Thanks again, Harry.”

“Great. You’re welcome. Just so you know, Sammie is staying the night here and flying back tomorrow morning. I’ll text you…pal.”

“Ok that’s fine. Right back at you…buddy.” I said before hanging up.

And if I had luck on my side, I was never going to have to see him again. …at least until Niall and Sammie’s wedding. ;)
