Love? Or Hate?

Nicole's POV
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He spoke slowly.

Those words are the words I never thought I would hear from the one who used to bully me, who is my crush, who was my first kiss, the one I instantly fell in love with... but his words put me in shock. I mean if people knew I loved him, they would think it's too fast but they don't know about our past but I don't think I'm ready to be in a relationship, not after what happened before, I'm not ready to trust yet.

"H-Harry I think it's best if we stay friends." I spoke quietly not wanting to meet his eyes but I felt his gaze on me.

"But I thought you love me." He spoke softly. Hurt evident in his voice after a while of silence.

" I do but it's too soon." I said still looking at the ground.
We stayed silent until I decided to look up. I looked up to find Harry staring at me, hurt evident in his eyes.

"Come here." He spoke softly.

I didn't argue. I stood up as Harry patted the grass next to him.
I sat as he sat in front of me, he took my hands in his.

"You know even if your not ready to be mine, I'll never hurt you ever, I love you Nicole." He said as his thumbs caressed my knuckles.

I nodded in response.
"Sorry Harry." I said quietly

"No need to be sorry love, let's just pretend as if that didn't happen, I don't want our relati- what we have here to be ruined." He said slowly.

How can I forget it, it was like a dream instead there's no happily ever after in this one.
I nodded in response.
"We should get going, it's getting late." he said quietly.
He stood up at first as his hand reached out to me. I grabbed it as he helped me up.

The ride home was quiet. No one said a word as we each stole glances of each other from time to time.

Once he stopped at my house I opened the door.

"Thank you dimples." I smiled lightly as I stepped out of the car.
"Wait!." Harry said as he gripped my hand planting a soft kiss on my cheek.
"Just think about my question, please." he added.

I blushed lightly at his actions as I went inside.
As soon as I got inside, I quickly changed into my pajamas, exhausted after what happened today as I climbed in bed reliving the moments.

Harry's POV

When I got to me and Louis' flat I climbed into bed thinking about Nicole, Why am I so hung up on her.

When I said I love her I honestly felt it because when I'm around her things are different. It's like we're in a world of our own, nobody else.

Her caramel eyes lock with mine and I can't help but want to kiss her pink plump lips, she's perfect.

"Daydreaming?" Louis asked breaking me out of my trance. "Is it that Nicole girl, Nice choice Haz, don't mess it up." He added.

I glared at him. His words made me jealous, I don't know why, but the way he talked about her upset me.

"Shut up Lou" I said as I closed my eyes.

Nicole's POV
Today was Monday, my least favorite day of the week, my phone buzzed.

Dimples<3: Goodmorning angel x. Meet me outside of school- H x
Me: Goodmorning Dimples (: . Sure.

I got up & decided to get ready for school. I decided on wearing my knee high black floral dress with my rose anklet and black flats as I straightened my hair.

After I arrived at school, I saw the beautiful gorgeous mop of chocolate curls.

"Hello angel." He said nervously?
"Hi Harry." I smiled.
"Here I want you to have this, turn around. Please." As I turned around I felt cool metal hit my skin. "It's a part of me I want you to have," he said slowly as I looked at the cross necklace.
"Part of my heart." he whispered the last part.

"I'll keep it safe." I said as I hugged him.
"And Nicole?" He asked as I turned away.
"Yea?"
"You look beautiful today."
I blushed darkly as I waved bye.

School was beyond boring today. I was at third period now. El and Per didn't come to school today, they knew about what happened the other day with Harry and I. I explained it on Skype when they wouldn't stop bugging me.

The bell rang as I headed to lunch and waited in line.

"Nicoleee." I heard someone say my name.

I looked in the direction of my name to see Sabrina, the head cheerleader calling my name.
"Yea?" I asked.
"Can I talk to you? " she asked no she demanded as she dragged me in the girls bathroom

I was never fond of Sabrina, she thinks because she's the head cheerleader somehow she's the best of the school. Actually it was the other way around, she was the most self- absorbed.
"1 thing you need to know, stay away from Harry." she said as she stood there with a smirk.
"Or what?" I replied looking at her with a death glare.

"You'll see." as she pushed me with her finger and with THAT bitchy attitude she left.

As I walked back in the cafeteria, I saw a sight I wish I didn't see.
Sabrina was kissing Harry's face off as she shot me a satisfied grin.

I dropped my bag as I ran to the storage closet as I cried again.

I stood in the close, not fighting the tears as they fell down my face.
"Nicole Gilmin, please report to the principal's office, Nicole Gilmin."

I sighed as I walked out of the closest my hair a mess and my cheeks stained from crying.
Why do they need me in the office? What happened?

As I walked in the office I stood in shock as I saw Harry sitting in the hair by Principal Paul. His knuckles we're bleeding and as I looked him to find anger in his eyes.

"Harry wh-" he cut me off.
"Don't. I'm fine." he spoke slowly
"Look at me." I spoke quietly
As he looked at me, his eyes softened a bit as I took a seat next to him.

"What Happened?" I said just as Principal Paul came in .
"Harry, Nicole I didn't expect this from you both, never would I have thought that the classes highest preforming student and Harry I have no words for you. Nicole all I have to say is don't change, because everything else will change for you. I have no other choice than to give you both detention, twice a week for 2 weeks." He spoke anger evident in his voice.
Wait detention?

"You are dismissed." He spoke as he handed us our slips.

I stormed out of the office clearly angry. Detention? What will my mum think. This is all Harry's fault. I should have known better than to trust him. He promised he wouldn't hurt me and half an hour earlier that promise seemed to have been forgotten. Of course what was I thinking, Me against the head cheerleader, of course he would choose her. The tears run down my face as I walked down the hall.

"Nicole wait." I didn't need to turn around to know who it is. That voice was always following me. Harry.

As I heard his footsteps come closer I ran home, where I could be alone and cry as much as I need to.

The rain poured on me as I ran inside, straight to the only place I can think of, the bathroom.

I reached for the razor as I sat on the edge of the bathtub, the tears never stopping, one by one rolling down the side of my face.

As I made the first cut, crimson began to pour.

"Not good enough." Cut
"Just because." Cut

I sat on the edge of the bathtub crying, crying over the boy who stole my heart, who promised to keep it safe but instead broke it.

I ran to my room and decided there was nothing left to do, except cry. But no matter how much I cry, nothing will happen. Right?

My clothes were stained with crimson as I tossed them away and changed into a pair of gray sweatpants and a black muscle tank.

I went downstairs as I kept sniffling trying to stop crying but every time I tried I would cry again.

Ding-Dong
As the doorbell rang, I slowly walked to answer it. Whoever it was could wait. I was not in the mood at all.

As I opened the door I stood frozen at the sight of Harry.
His hair looked like it had been pushed back hundreds of times, but no matter what he looked like, he would always be beautiful.

"Nicole, I'm sorry I never meant any of this." he spoke slowly as sadness spread across his face.

"Harry, I think it's best if you go and forget all of this, whatever happened I--." I spoke as he cut me off.

"No , I love you too much, why can't you see that." he spoke as he got closer.
I looked at the ground not wanting to see him, because if I look into his eyes, I'll forget and forgive but I just can't.. not now, not yet.

"Harr-"
"Nicole, who did this?" he asked as he grabbed my cut wrist.
I instantly turned pale as I tried to release from his grip, he was stronger than me, I couldn't.

"Harry, go."
"No, not until you tell me who hurt you?" he said as I released my hand from his grip.

"You Harry. You hurt me." And with those words out I shut the door, falling to the ground, crying as I let out everything I was holding in.
