Chapter 54

Olivias Pov:

I slowly pulled away from him, his hands still on my waist as he looked me straight in the eyes, "Can I come in?" he asked and I nodded, turning to get out of the car, we walked up to my front door and once I've unlocked it he hurried inside, desperate for no one to see us. He pulled me with him up the stairs and towards my room, he made his way over to my bed and laid down as I slowly followed him, he moitioned for me to join him and I did,

laying like this, on Nialls arm and his other arm wrapped around me felt nice and yet I couldn't stop wishing that it was Harry, the day we spent together last week was only a another painful memory by now and it made everything so much worse. I knew I wanted him but I also knew he wasn't good for me, unlike Niall who would never hurt me the way Harry had, so why was it that as I laid here in Nialls arms all I could think about was Harry and the way his arms felt around me, the way only he could make me feel butterflies just by saying a word or even just by looking at me and how it felt when ever he would touch my skin, like sparks, thinking about all of this I knew I wanted him, well honestly I think I even need him.

"So what do you think?" Nialls voice broke me out of my thoughts and I looked up at him, his face now in a frown from my lack of response "I'm sorry, what?" I smiled at him and he laughed at me "You wanna go on a date on friday?" asked again and I could tell he was nervous now, my smile grew at how cute he looked and I nodded my head ýes' "Of course" he smiled and leaned in to peck my lips, then got up and started walking towards the doors "Are you leaving?" I asked in disbelief, I mean he just got here, asked me out and now he's leaving? "Yeah, gotta meet up with Ha... the lads" he said and left, it felt like a punch in the gut when he almost said Harrys name and I broke down crying, why did it have to be so hard?

I was just about to get out from school when I spotted something that made me stop, Harry was standing down the hall, and damn did he look good, he was wearing his usual black skinnies with a white t-shirt and a beanie, I remembered our first date in the park, when I had told him I really liked him in a beanie and he then he had a beanie on everyday for two weeks and he would always wink at me when he did, I smiled at the memory until Alex hit my shoulder "What the hell is wrong with them?" she hissed and I focused on the small group and gasped,

Harry was arguing with Liam while Louis and Zayn were looking at something, they both had a huge smirk across their face, I followed their gaze and another gasp slipped my lips, there Niall was, pressing some girl up against the lockers, his hands all over her and I could see the tears fall down her cheeks as she pleaded him to stop, he didn't even bulge, I turned my gaze back to the group, Harry was now watching Niall with both a smug and hurt look on his face, Louis and Zayn still had their smirk but Liam was nowhere to be seen,

when I looked at Niall again he was leaning in to suck on the poor girls neck and I heard her whimper even from where I stood, he pushed away from her and made his way back to Harry and the boys, he looked so broken and I new that this was something Harry had made him do, how could he be so cruel? I ran over to the girl who was still against the lockers, she was crying hysterically now and I hugged, trying to calm her down, I turned my head and glared at Harry, he looked sad when he looked at me and the girl, almost like he regretted it but the second he saw my gaze go to Niall, something changed and his eyes became dark once again and a smirk formed on his lips before he turned and walked away, the boys following, even Niall with his head hung low.

It had been a few day since Niall had assualted that poor girl and I hadn't seen him since, him and the boys weren't at school and honestly I don't know if I'm relieved or sad since I haven't seen either him or Harry, Harry I don't even know anymore, he's just so cruel. I turned the corner and colided with someone, and of course falling on my butt "We really need to stop meeting like this" I heard a familliar voice chuckle, Harry. I accepted the hand he offered out for me to take and he helped me up,
