Does he know?

"The kisses.. Oh no of course not " I gladly answered.

"Great I thought you maybe saw them as drunken mistakes. Or.. Well you kind of had plenty of them" she confessed. It seemed like she knew and remembered more than I did.

"What do you mean? " I asked furiously and raised my eyebrow.

"Don't act like you don't know how the night ended" she answered coldly and turned her look in another direction.
Once again her mood changed. Damn, why did she have to behave like this? I tried to break the ice by coming up with a joke.

"Well I ended the night in my bed" I said and giggled. Annabelle obviously didn't follow my "break - the - ice" plan since she completely answered me with a bitchy attitude. Way to go Styles, I thought to myself as I tried to choose my words wisely and save the awkward situation I got myself into.

"The fact that you answer with that goofy smile shows that you enjoyed ending your night with my best friend and not me, Harry" she answered. Her words burned me as I tried to come up with a great answer . I really wasn't in the mood for a fight and I just wanted our relationship back.

Choose your words wisely..

I coughed and sighted. I was about to give up yet I refused to do it. I truly wanted her back, something inside of me wanted her desperately. I didn't know why but I was so attached to this girl; Her beautiful blue eyes, her smile that made me weak, her laugh that gave me butterflies. Just her presence made my day completely but I was sick of her behaviour. I needed the old her..

"Ann...Annabelle i'm sorry okay?" I stopped as I tried to control myself. My heart beated faster and faster every second.

"How many times do I have to apologize to you and show you that I really do care about us.. About our relationship?" I finally asked.

She looked at me with a cold look.

"Harry it's not easy for me watching you being in bed with my best friend", her stubborn voice completely amazed me.

"Well now you know how I felt when I saw you and Zayn".

Shit. I shouldn't have said that. Fuck.Fuck.Fuck. What's wrong with me.

She looked at me in shock. Damn it she was probably about to go nuts now.

"So you simply tried to give me payback?" she almost spit the words out of her mouth as she raised her eyebrows.

Damn women are uncontrollable.

"Of course not Annabelle. Why would I do that when I love you? I kissed you for a reason."

"Yeah and you were in bed with Sarah for a reason" she said with sarcasm. I couldn’t believe her attitude it didn’t make me situation more comfortable though.

"I WAS DRUNK OKAY AND SHE JUST HELPED ME. I'm tired of you blaming and accusing me for stupid things. I haven't done anything wrong. I haven't been with anyone since I fell in love with you. You on the other side have, yet I'M the one who has to apologize and fight for our relationship".
As soon as I have finished my sentence she hurried out of the couch and before I knew it, the door was smacked right in front of my face. I was sick and tired of fighting with her and trying to win her back, this wasn't something I was used to but I still tried my best because I loved this girl which I realized every time I fought with her or had her near me. I immediately went after her and luckily I overtook her on the hallway few meters from my room.

"Annabelle just wait we can't continue fighting and not talking this out" I said as I grabbed her arm. She now stood up against the wall. It was only me and her and our breathing, which was heavier than ever.

"Get off me Harry" she said slowly while she looked at the ground.

"Do you really want more drama? Do you really wanna waste another day thinking of me and you and why we can't work this out?" I said not letting go of her arm.

"How do you even know i've been thinking about you?" she answered as she quickly looked at me but her glance fastly touched the ground.

"I know everything my dear. Now will you please tell me why you're acting like this? How many times do I have to apologize?.. Annabelle look at me" I said. It felt like she was completely careless about this situation.

"You don't have to apologize, Harry. It's me. I'm too complicated and I get jealous and make stupid mistakes and I end up being confused and then I just do stupid things without thinking about the consequences. I'm tired of fighting and I don't want any more drama..." she answered with her jittery lips and fragile face looking at me. Her wonderful blue eyes were about to turn into a streaming river of tears.

"Then stop making drama and start talking things out with me. I really want you back but I don't want to get hurt again" I admitted as I let go of her arm.

"You wont get hurt! I've been thinking about you for ages, I've been waiting for us to get back on track but it's harder than I thought it would be" she confessed.

"Just promise me you won't do anything with Zayn behind my back I guess that is a start" I out of nowhere suggested to her. She then sighted and started explaining" I'm afraid of promising things because I feel like i'm lying when I promise things.."

"So you actually do wanna go behind my back again?"

I was in schok!

"NO of course not Harry! But I just feel like I can't keep my promises anymore"..

"Then how am I supposed to trust you again?"

"I don't know Harry. I wish I knew how.. You just have to believe in me, I guess".

This was unbelieveable. I wanted her and returned my feeling then how could it be so difficult starting over again? Was everything broken now? Torn into pieces?

"You do know I love you more than anyone else" she confessed and sent me a smile. I believed her but she had to prove her love to me.

I had an idea I was afraid to say out loud and within seconds my mouth kind of spoke for itself.

"What if we start off as friends first?"

Wait friends. Did I just suggest that to her?

"You really wanna be friends?" she looked at me with big eyes.

"Well.. I'll never be able to your friend and I'll truly never see you as a friend but maybe if we just hang out without flirting or anything then eventually everything will get back to the way it was?


"Weird as it sounds.. It's actually a great idea" she now smiled.

"Great. Friends?" I said as I went in for a hug.

"Friends" she nodded and smiled. She gave me a warm hug and I already regret our deal.

How was I supposed to be around her like nothing had happened and like I didn't want her in the "non friend way"?

Do you think they'll be able to stay in the friendzone for a while? :)
