Alex's POV

I stormed into my house and slammed the door behind me. I was so pissed off! This was supposed to be the best day of my life but it turned out to be the worst.

My front door flew open. "ALEX! ALEX! WILL YOU STOP? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Harry yelled after me.

I couldn't help it, but before I knew it I was screaming at Harry. "EVERYTHING!! Everything is wrong Harry! Everything in my life has changed so fast over the last two weeks. I'm tired. I'm tired of it all! I want things to go back to the way they were." I yelled while throwing my hands up in the air with defeat.

"Are you tired of me?" He asked with pain in his voice.

I didn't know how to respond to that so I just ignored it and asked him a question. "Why me Harry? You could have any girl in the world and you chose me. Why?"

"Because, you're not like any other girl I've met before. The way you opened up to me about your dad and how TM treated you. I fell for you because of how honest you are. And.. and how you're so caring, and you actually listen to me when I speak." He was starting to tear up. "Ever since I've become "Harry Styles" the rockstar nobody listens to me. Sure they hear me speak, but they don't hear what I say. You're different, good different. You're like a breath of fresh air." He paused. "I've never felt this way before. I was so used to being with people just to be with them, and telling them the things they wanted to hear. But with you I've been completely myself from the moment I met you. Alex, I don't want you to be tired of me. I want to be able to wake up next to every morning. I want to look forward to coming home from tour because I know you'll be there waiting for me. I want to be able to tell you my problems and know that they won't be leaked to the media. I trust you Alex, I want you."

"Harry, it's not you. It's the situation. I went from a low key life to being thrusted into the spotlight. If we had met under different circumstances things would be different."

He stared at me so I decided to go to my room.

"Alex, please don't walk away from me!" he shouted behind me as he followed me into my bedroom.

"Harry, I just want to be alone." I said softly. "I've been around people all day. I just need time to myself."

He nodded. "I'll leave if you answer me one question."

"What?"

"Do you love me?"

"Harry...."

"Yes or no?"

I let out a long breath of air. I folded my arms across my chest and stuck out my hip. I didn't like being told what to do, I got way to much of that from TM over the last two years.

Harry walked over to me, our bodies almost touching, he bent down so our faces were pretty much level. I could detect anger in his eyes. I had never seen him like that and I didn't want to see it again.

"Answer me." He said quietly, his voice breaking on the word me.

"Harry, I can't do this anymore." A tear rolled down my cheek.

He let out a harsh sigh.

"Ok." he said. He stood there a moment longer before taking my head in his hands, he left a small kiss on my forehead and walked away. I heard my front door close quietly; I was expecting a slam, but he was being his normal gentlemen self.

When I heard his car pull away I collapsed on my bed, finally crying out the tears that had been building up all day. I cried and cried and cried. I spent hours curled up in a ball crying. Until finally the one person that I wanted to talk to called me.

"Mom!" I whimpered.

"Alex! What's wrong!?"

"Harry and I broke up."

"What? Why?"

"Things were just going to fast for me, the move, the job, a new boyfriend, I was just on a whirlwind. Today was awful mom, I went through the entire day feeling like I was suffocating. I didn't want to end things with Harry, but I had no choice, everything is just a mess."

"Sweetie, oh sweetie. Things will be just fine. I promise. Maybe you should just take a few days to yourself, and then talk to Harry and see where things will go from there. Everything happens for a reason hunny, and I don't think this move to London was supposed to be a bad thing, I think it's a blessing. Maybe you went a little to full force on things but that's to be expected when your young and in love, that's how it was for you're dad and I. We met each other in January, we were engaged in April, married in October, pregnant with you in January, had you in October of the next year and then I lost your dad July of the next year. It all happened so quickly. After I lost your dad I thought my life was over, but I pressed on and look at where I am today, I have an amazing, talented, gorgeous daughter, I'm a dentist with my own practice, and I own my own home in the Hollywood Hills. If someone would have told me at 16 that I'd over come all that hardship to be where I am today I would have never believed them. " she paused. "But you know what, I believe in you, and I believe that you'll make it through this stage in your life. I know it seems like the end of the world now, but it's not. It's just the beginning, a shitty beginning but you'll make it through, you're tough."

"Thank you mom, you're the best."

"You're welcome, now get some rest and I'll talk to you later."

"Ok, I love you."

"Love you too."

As soon as I hung up with my mom I fell asleep, I was so exhausted and ready for the day to be over.

Harry's POV

I didn't really understand why Alex blew up the way she did, but I knew that if I cared about her that I needed to give her space, even if all I wanted to do was hold her in my arms and reassure her that everything would be ok.

I got home and went straight to my fridge and pulled out a beer, I needed a drink. BAD.

Alex's POV

I woke up the next morning felling like crap, my face was puffy and my eyes were swollen from crying so much the night before. I decided that I need a cup of tea and a long relaxing bath. I made my tea and drew my bath.

I got in the bath and sat there for a few minutes. I replayed the fight I had with Harry over and over in my head. I didn't want to end things with him, but our relationship was going way too fast, I kept telling him I wanted to take things slow, but then he told me loved me, and that he wanted to spend our future together, and he even asked me to move in with him. All of this happened in a span of a week, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only girl to react the way I had. After replaying the fight once again and thinking about the anger I saw in his eyes I started thinking about the good times we had spent together over the last week. The first time I saw him, the conversations we had on the plane, the dinner that night, the first actually no... every time we had sex, how he took me to the beach, the dinner with the band! We did so much over the last week but I wouldn't have changed it for the world. Yeah we probably went fast (not probably, we straight up were like on a rocketship this entire relationship) but in that short time I met someone who changed my entire life forever. It was so easy being with him, everything just felt right. Why did I have to go and freak out and ruin everything? Why couldn't I have just talked to him like an adult. God I was so stupid.

A tear slid down my cheek. I wiped it away and forced the other ones back, my face was already swollen enough.

I got out of the bath and put on some sweats, I was hungry so I went to the kitchen and made myself some pancakes. Pancakes always made me feel better. I ate my pancakes in the quiet and once I was finished I decided to read a book, I needed to get out of my own world for a little.

After I finished reading my book I grabbed my phone and started scrolling through twitter. I had a ton of mentions, people where saying things like they wished Harry and I were still together, that we were a cute couple. Some wished that we would work through whatever problems we had, but then there were those people that said that they were right I was just a fling and that they were glad Harry and I were over.

I placed my phone on the table and decided to take a nap.

Harry's POV

Today has been an absolute shit day. All I wanted to do was call Alex and apologize for everything, and ask her if we could start over. I just wanted to hold her in my arms. Not seeing her for the last 12 hours has killed me. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life without her.

Alex's POV

I woke up and looked at the time, it was 9am of the next day. I had slept for 16 hours straight. I felt refreshed though so I guess it was ok. I went down stairs and ate some yogurt before deciding to go for a walk, I needed to get out of the house.

Since moving to London I haven't explored the city properly. I headed out towards High Street to check out the shopping. The shops were pretty amazing. Before I left the house I decided I wasn't going to buy anything so I was just looking around and trying to find my way around the city.

I was in a store called Primark when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned around and was completely surprised to see who it was.

"Hanna! Hi how are you?"

"I'm good." she said blushing, "How are you?"

"I've been better." With thoughts of Harry flooding into my mind.

"I heard, I'm so sorry, I wanted you and Harry to work."

It had been two days since I talked two Harry and he was leaving for Australia in three so he could tour. I felt awful about how I left things with him and even more awful because I wouldn't see him for god knows how long.

"Yeah, me too, but things happen."

"You guys seemed so happy though, I wish you guys could work out whatever is wrong."

I nodded my head in agreement.

"Well listen, I have to go but here's my number if you ever want to grab lunch or something." Hanna said while handing me her number.

"Thanks, I'll call you."

She gave me a hug and turned to walk away but stopped short and turned to tell me something else. "Oh and Alex, I'm sure that you guys will get through this. You're meant to be together." And with that she walked away.
