Stella's POV:

"I have to go back Harry. I can't do it. I need to be there for Jane." I said in between sobs.

I was lying on the couch, make-up smugged all over my face and my hair was a mess.

I looked miserable.

I was feeling miserable.

"Stella I...I don't know what to say. But I'll always be here for you." He said, and although I was thankful for that, it didn't make me feel any better.

"Thanks Harry, but I-I need Ty." I said, still sobbing.

He looked upset for a second but then quickly stood up and went to the kitchen.

I just layed there on the couch.

I grabbed my phone and looked at it.

I went on twitter and my eyes filled up with tears.

"HARRY!" I yelled, panic evident In my voice.

This day just kept getting worse.

He came back running, a worried expression on his face.

"What's wrong?!" He asked.

I showed him my phone and as soon add he saw the screen his eyes widened.

"Oh no..." He whispered.

I was shaking at this point.

"I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! HOW COULD I BE SO DUMB?!"  I yelled furiously, my voice mixed with frustration and anger.

Harry looked absolutely terrified.

"Stella I-I'm so sorry! This is all my fault! I'm so stupid! " He said.

"I need to leave this place. I'm going back to New York tomorrow." I said, standing up and walking over to the first room.

"Stella wait I-"

"No. I'm leaving and that's final." I said, my words bitter and dry.

I walked in the room and slammed the door.

I can't believe it. I knew I should've stayed away.

Now Ty's going to hate me.

I won't have anyone.

Sobs again.

I tried to calm myself down and texted Ty.

I'm sorry

I waited for a reply.

it's ok.

My eyes watered. It wasn't ok.

no it's not.

He didn't reply to me that night.

***

"I'm sorry. It's not your fault. But I have to go. There's too much going on right now. You've helped enough. Thanks. Goodbye." I said and while walking away.

"Bye." Harry whispered, and I walked into the plane.

I fell asleep the whole time and was woken by the voice of the pilot telling us we were here.

I did the usual airport stuff, then took a cab and went home.

I had to go back to school tomorrow but I wasn't sure I wanted to.

I don't think Ty and me would be sitting together anymore.

I put my bags on the floor and just went to bed.

All I wanted to do was sleep again.

***

I was at school.

I didn't find Ty waiting for me at the parking lot like usual.

Strike one.

I walked in school and looked around but I couldn't see him anywhere.

I decided to just go to first period and saw him there.

My nerves were all over the place and I couldn't breathe properly.

Guilt was eating me up.

I walked over to my desk, which was right next to his, and I kept my eyes on him.

I debated whether to speak to him or not.

I decided yes.

"U-um hi..." I said quietly, all choked up and awkwardness bursting out through my pores.

He turned to look at me.

He was wearing a gray beanie, a white t-shirt with a hoodie, skinny jeans and black converse.

I had to try not to drool.

"Hi." He said, and I looked down at my lap.

I couldn't bring myself to say anything again.

After a few minutes I heard his voice again.

"Um do you mind if Ann sits here?" He asked, and I wanted to sink into the ground and stay there forever.

Strike two.

He was gone.

I'm so stupid.

STUPID STUPID STUPID!

"Yeah." I said, and quickly stood up and took a seat next to Blake.

I slammed my bag on the chair.

Ty looked scared.

"Mrs. Newman, may I go to the restroom?" I asked and she shook her head.

"No Mrs. Greenwood, you had fifteen minutes before class to do so. Now take a seat." She said and I sat down.

Great.

"You alright?" Blake asked, and I sighed.

"Uh yeah. Just a rough morning, got stuck

in traffic and couldn't eat breakfast." I lied.

"Oh I see."

***

I walked over to Ann during lunch and I asked her if I could sit with her.

"Um I'm sitting with Ty, but yeah." She said and I faked a smile.

The one that hides it all.

"Oh. Yeah never mind. I'll just find someone else to sit with. I'm just trying to get to know other people you know? But thanks. See ya." I said, and walked away.

I sat by myself two spots away from Ty, but suddenly I heard a voice.

"Hey, Stella! Wanna come sit with us?" I heard Blake say.

My eyes widened.

Blake was asking me if I wanted to sit with him and his friends?

I looked over at Ty.

He looked just as surprised but quickly changed his expression.

I saw him hold Ann's hand and raised an eyebrow.

She laughed and I frowned.

What the heck is going on?

"Yeah I'd love to!" I said, glancing over at Ty once more.

He looked away.

Strike three. Out.

I walked over to where Blake and his friends were.

All the girls looked at me, and I suddenly felt self-concious.

But then they smiled.

"Oh my gosh! Hey Stella! You decided to join us!" One of them said and I smiled.

"Yup. Trying to make some new friends." I said and they laughed.

I wasn't quite sure why they were laughing but I faked a laugh too.

I decided I could just hang with them for a while.

***

It had been two weeks since I'd been sitting with Blake and the others, and I guess I was doing quite alright.

But I missed Ty like heck. Ann and him had been hanging out a lot more, and people were beginning to think they were a 'thing'.

It made me kinda jealous, but it was my fault.

Sometimes I thought he was trying to make me jealous, but then I'd realize that's a silly thought.

I'd also called the hospital a few times, but they told me Jane was still in a really bad condition and didn't want any visitors.

I was all alone.

Again.

Sort of...

I'd made a few good friends though.

But still, this is all my fault.

Maybe I should just give Harry a chance.

His intentions were good, and really, he couldn't help the fact paparazzi were always after him.

Maybe I wouldn't have to be on the social medias.

I could just ignore most of it.

I didn't really know if I liked Harry more than Ty, or the other way around, but maybe Harry had somehow showed up in my life for some reason.

I decided I needed some girl advice and called Hailey, a girl I had met a lunch.

I seemed to get a long with her very well, and we talked a lot.

She seemed to be the outsider of the group and for some reason, I felt really close to her.

She'd told me a lot of things about her life, and we've hung out twice.

I figured she was the only trustable person I knew, besides Ty.

"You have a thing with Harry Styles?!" She asked in complete and utter shock.

"Please promise me you won't say anything to absolutely anyone." I said and she promised.

"Maybe it's fate! Oh my gosh this is like one of those fanfictions!" She gushed and I laughed.

"What should I do?" I asked and she was silent for a second.

"Give him a chance Stella. I can tell he really likes you. Oh shoot I gotta go. Bye! But give him a chance!" She said and hung up.

I sighed.

*

"Hello?" He said, his voice deep and husky.

"Oh I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?" I asked, my voice small as if I didn't want to wake anyone else, although my place was empty and he was thousands of miles away.

"Oh no. It's fine. Are you alright?" He asked, suddenly sounding a lot more awake.

I smiled at that.

"Uh yeah I'm fine. I just wanted to say sorry. I shouldn't have treated you the way I did because I know your intentions were good and maybe we could give it a shot." I said, nervous.

He was silent for a second.

"It's okay. I know you have a lot on your plate. And thanks Stella." He said, and I could I practically hear his smile.

I laughed.

What a relief.

"Oh I'm glad. I was so scared you'd hate me."

"I could never hate you." He said, his voice quiet.

"I couldn't either I guess. Talk tomorrow. Night Harry." I said, and hung up.

Maybe this could work out. We'll see.
