Loving my boyfriend's best friend was one of the greatest feelings I had always wanted to get rid of. Harry never looked at me the way Shawn did but as a sister and a friend. So I decided to stick to that but every time I look at him, I'm unable to control these strange feelings I have for him. I know it's wrong to have these feelings for him but honestly, he was the first boy I would ever love. Shawn was second. I thought Harry leaving for England will help matters but now he's back and I know the worst is bound to happen.

CHAPTER 1
Elena's POV
We were at the airport, Shawn and I, waiting for Harry. Shawn made a call, waving his hands to signify to Harry where ever he was. Standing in the middle of the airport, I was mixed with both anxiety and fear. The fear of losing myself to him. It's been three years since I last saw Harry. Would everything still be the same as before or he will see me more as a woman? Harry has never loved a girl or has either been in a relationship. He believes they aren't worth it. Harry was far different from Shawn. Harry was a player or should I still say he is? I don't know. Who knows maybe he's changed. Shawn wasn't like him. He was only crazy about one person and that's me, no one else. I like Shawn. He always found ways to please me and make me love him. He was good at such things but there was no way he could beat Harry in the way I feel for him. Love can't be bought. Many times...I had wanted to break up with Shawn. I felt it was wrong thinking about Harry and also be in a relationship with his best friend. It was completely wrong but Shawn never gave me a chance to speak about issues like this. I never told him I was in love with Harry. It will drive him mad and I know he won't get over it. NEVER. But still, he knew I didn't love him that much but he always thought we would work out. Shawn will never let me go. My mind drifts from these thoughts by Shawn's voice. Harry was already here and my heart feels so cloudy with rainbows as he walks towards us. I was breathing taking by his look.
"Bro!" Harry gave Shawn a side hug immediately he sighted him.
"You got muscles now!" Shawn teased.
"And you got fatter." Harry teased too.
"Well my babe here has been feeding me to the fullest," Shawn smirked, both eyes diverting to me. It was so weird. Harry looked at me closely. What has changed in me? That was left for him to say. The way he looked at me got me confused. I know I was meant to do all those 'long time greetings' but I don't know why my lips are just left plastered but I gotta say, Harry, is looking good. His eyes zoom down to my chest and I was left confused. What was he looking at?
"Wow! She's got bigger breasts!" Harry teased me. I felt really uncomfortable. I used both my palms to cover my breasts even when they were covered with clothes. It felt like he could see inside my body.
"What the..." I almost cursed loudly.
"Harry, we're in the public." I raised both my arms in the air. I didn't quickly realize I had freed my breasts. His eyes went over there again, making me quickly wrap it up with my hands.
They both laughed at me like I was a fool or something. Boys can be weird.
"Okay, sorry. You just got sexier. If that should suit you better." Harry said, putting his hand on my arms as we walked back to where Shawn parked his car. Right now, those emotions were freed. It felt like old times when we were friends. But Harry will never be a friend to me. He's more than that.
"Hahaha. Very funny Harry." I forgot Harry loved to tease me so much back in high school. It was an experience I shouldn't have forgotten.
I could deeply remember when Harry played a prank on me by sending me a love letter anonymously into my locker when he knew no guy has ever asked me out yet. There I was feeling so excited that there was someone out there that had feelings for me. The most foolish part was me blushing when I told them about the love letters that blew me away. Then the foolish Mr. jerk face finally confessed that it was all a prank that he played and I shouldn't keep my hopes up. I was dumbstruck!
We kept on arguing and teasing each other even when we entered the car. Shawn drove while Harry and I sat at the back seat. Shawn laughed away while I was so irritated by Harry's jokes.
"I swear If you ever say that again, I'll make sure you never fuck a girl again." I spat out. I can't believe Harry was asking if I have been taking sex lessons by watching porn videos. Who asks that?!
Shawn just loved seeing us argue. We could spend the whole day finding out who's better between Harry and me.
We got inside the house. Shawn assisted Harry in carrying his luggage.
"Final question, Shawn who's hotter between Harry and me?" I asked, with my right hand at my waist. We've been arguing all the way since we met at the airport. I have to say, I really miss this feeling.
"Shawn wouldn't tell the truth because he's your boyfriend. We both know who is and that person is only me." Harry said, winking at me.
I roll my eyes feeling irritated.
Harry took out a bottle of beer from the fridge pouring into three glasses.
"To friendship." He said and we cheered.
I stared at him as he gulped in his drink. There was a lot I wished to do when I saw him at the airport. Dirty thoughts took over my mind at that moment. I just don't know how we became friends and why he looked at me differently and acted differently around me. Wasn't I pretty enough?
I woke up in the morning, letting out a loud yawn. I looked to my left but couldn't find Shawn next to me. I knew I got drunk last night and Shawn brought me to bed. Hope I didn't do anything stupid or say something crazy.I entered into the kitchen, seeing Harry frying eggs. Just like old times. Seeing him here made it feel like the missing piece was finally back in my life."Shawn isn't home. Had something urgent to do. So it's just you and prince charming." Harry smiled, his eyes still on the eggs."I don't see a crown." I snorted, opening up the cupboard to take some cereals. Gosh, I'm too short to take this. I didn't know my ass was fully visible as i tried reaching for the cereal. I was wearing a hoodie that covered my ass a little. I totally forgot Harry was now here with us.Harry just kept on clearing his throat and it made me really upset and confused. I was even expecting him to help me ou
Elena's POVI went to hang around the corner, getting drunk with a bottle of vodka in my hands. I just want Harry out of my head. I really need to stop thinking about him before it all turns wrong. I love Shawn so much and I wouldn't ruin it now.I didn't know when a cold hand touched and pulled me from where I stood. I was so drunk and everything was so muzzy but that scent couldn't deceive me. It was from Harry."Harry, I told you to stay away from me. I don't want to talk to you." I said, almost trippinHarry's POVEver since we had that conversation, Elena has been on my mind. I was confused. Why would she want me to stay away from her? I know she's going through a lot. Her mom was getting divorced. I thought that was it but the look in her eyes told me there was something else.I searched everywhere for her. I wanted us to tal
Elena's POVI lied about not knowing about what I said last night and also kissing him. It was my worst mistake and it's never going to happen again. So what I just need to do is to act like nothing ever happened. That what's best.My friend Anna drove me to her place. Shawn and Harry were picking us soon. Getting ready for bikinis! My friend searches her closet for the right bikini wear but still asking questions and really made me uncomfortable."So, you kissed him." She frowned, picking some clothes out of her closet."As I said, I was drunk," I explained it again."But you loved every part of it right?" She stared at me in the eyes trying to read my mind."N...N...uh... Stop staring at me like a zombie." It felt so weird with the way she stared into my eyes."Trying to change the subject uh?" She winked at me."No
Elena'sPOVI was in the bathroom changing my clothes. Anna couldn't wait for me because I was so slow. She said she didn't want to miss the fun. How unfriendly. As I finished changing into my bikini, the door creaked open. I thought it was the ladies' since it was a female bathroom so I didn't pay attention to it. Then suddenly someone banged
Elena's POVI sat down next to Shawn, still glaring at Harry. Shawn poured kisses on my cheeks, asking me where I was."Bathroom," I whispered but my eyes were at Harry who was now with two hot girls in bikini dying for his gorgeous face. It makes me angrier and part of me still asks me why I'm so mad right now but I just brush it off.He was now kissing one of the girls, grabbing her butt like mashed potatoes. It was just so irritating. His eyes caught me staring. I quickly look away before I get myself into trouble.He chuckled and it irritated me. Did he think I was jealous? Why..why would I even be?Then I looked back at him, giving that, 'don't even think about it' but all that he could do to reply to me was sucking that girl's lips. I flinched, standing up in rage. I don't even know why I stood up screaming. Everyone looked at me like I was some fool once again. This has to
Harry's POVI wasn't just going to be that stupid to fall for Damien's trap. I was too smart for that. All Damien wants is to have his revenge by making Shawn and I separate. Shawn and I have been friends since childhood. Our families were close friends. Well, Shawn and I met Elena in fifth grade. The first day I set my eyes on her, I felt a spark going through my body. I was so little then so I never knew what it meant so I let the feeling pass away. Shawn confessed to me that he had a huge crush on her. I could never tell him I felt that way too. So I pushed those feelings away. Knowing that my heart belongs to only one person, I decided not to fall for anyone else except Elena. Elena was just so beautiful. Her eyes....when I look at her, I'm totally blown away. Sometimes when she feels cold, I wish I could just warm her up but Shawn was always one step ahead of me. It was just so hard for me to confess my feelings to Elena. Shawn was always in the way. After
Elena's POVWe had just come out of five houses. Shawn's friend's place but we still didn't find him. I was getting more worried since Shawn never picked his call and Harry was getting fed up but all I could care about right now is Shawn."Let's go back home. It's late and it isn't safe here." Harry tried convincing me but I didn't listen to him. I started the car and decided to call Anna maybe she would know where he was."Hey, Anna, Have you perhaps seen Shawn? He isn't home yet." I hoped she did."N...no. not at all. Is everything okay?" She stammered."Yeah, I'm just worried. Are you okay? You seem.... nervous." I asked, a little concerned."Um...I gotta go." Anna hung up."What was that?" I murmured to myself confusingly but I brush the weird thought away."What did she say?" Harry asked.
Anna's POVWhen I saw Shawn at the club where we all normally hang out, I was so surprised. I looked around but there was no sight of Elena and Harry. Did he come here alone because if it's what I think it is, then things just got better! I want to tell him everything. How I feel about him. All the years, I've only loved Shawn, not the way Elena does. Elena just used Shawn as a distraction. She's not what's best for him, I am.I just want Shawn to look at me, kiss me, touch me, and make me feel alive. Just look at me for once Shawn."Hey." I sat down next to him, trying to get his attention. He diverted his eyes from his drink, looking at me."I told you to stay away from me, Elena. Why do you keep following me around?" Shawn looked away, pouring a drink into his glass."Actually, it's Anna," I say, feeling a little disappointed."Oh." He said, not like he really cared but
Harry's PovIt's been six hours since El has been in surgery and I wasn't at ease as I pace around waiting for news. The doctor told me she overdose herself and it triggered an asthma attack. She was at high risk and it made me scared. I called her mom and everyone I could reach to tell them the news. *******Two hours later, the doctor informs me of the surgery was successful and she needs a lot of rest considering again, she had been in labor recently. I rushed in first before anyone else. I just wanted to know how she was. I was desperate. I wasn't there when she needed me the most. How couldn't I have known it was El all this while? I was disappointed and covered by the hatred I had for Anna. I wished I believed her earlier. I held her hands softly, almost in tears."El, you were there the whole time and I never believed you. Even so, does that mean you would take your life? How dare you commit suicide? So you were intending to leave me. I'm not going to take it easy on you, I pr
Elena's PovThe fear of losing Harry again took over my mind, making me lose balance. I fell to my knees, crying and calling Harry's name but he was gone. I couldn't control myself any longer as I was having an asthma attack and also into labor. The nurses rushed me quickly into the labor room. I wished Harry would be here with me at this moment. I needed him. I groan in pain as I asked to make a push. I pushed harder and harder till we heard the sound of a boy. I was finally relieved as I laid my head back on the pillow in peace. I was eager to see my baby. I carried him lightly in my arms and I saw Harry in his eyes. I knew he had no other befitting name than to be called Harry because Harry was the only man I have ever loved.***********Harry'sI got a call from the hospital that Anna had given birth not too long after I left but I didn't seem to care. I don't want to have anything to do with her. I ignored her calls from her for a week until a letter came from her the day before
Harry's povI alighted from my car, finally going to see Anna who claims to be my wife. It still sounds funny to me that Anna was playing her tricks again. I just had to see her since Carol had convinced me repeatedly that I had nothing to lose if I see her. So here I am.I get weird glances from the nurses and some patients who walked past me. "That's Harry Styles. His wife died recently. What a pity." Some murmured as I entered into the hospital but I paid no attention it else, i'd break. Just thinking about it, makes me feel uneasy and restless. If we could just go back into time but we can't. It's all fiction.I begin to feel restless as I get closer to Anna's ward. I felt I should have seen her a long time ago but I'm just resisting. Why does it still feel like El is still alive. What if she was telling the truth? I think I'm just letting her get to me. El's gone. I enter into her room, seeing her lay on the bed getting medication. I was set ablaze when the nurse moved away, mak
Eight months, and some weeks later.......Harry's povI get distracted by the same call from the hospital again this morning, but i choose not to pick it. I ignored it and kept myself busy with my phone."Harry, didn't you hear the cellphone ring. It's from the hopital." Carol said, bothered about my rash behavior. Carol came around once or twice to always check up on me, thinking I'm just going to end up depressed again. Ever since El was gone, life was a complete mess to me. I just couldn't see myself fit without her. I can remember when she made me promise to never leave her at the hospital but now, she's the one leaving me. And now, that bull shit called Anna is trying to take her place. Can you imagine? I don't even know how she got my number but she has been stalking me with different phone calls telling she was Elena and she was still alive and should also come to get her out of there. Who on earth would want to let such a psycho out of there?! and on top on that into my house.
The unknown man stood angry at the sheriff's office. He was really angry and sad about the whole incident."There's no connection that she has that will get her out of prison. You find a way she rots in here. The deceased...." He paused, still unable to believe Elena was gone just like that. It was a sharp pain that left a mark on his heart."Her mother won't take a shit. She's in a bad state at the moment and she'd go through any cost.""Mr.Styles, we would do anything to get justice for your deceased wife. We later investigated that Mr.Mendes and Chloe Amberly were behind the explosion. Were you and the deceased person in some kind of conflict?" The Sherriff asked. Before the incident, Harry had gone through the back door because of the severe heat and there was no service to reach E
Chloe's povAfter getting all the necessary info on the place Harry and Elena were to meet at noon, I order my men to set the bombs before their arrival. Shawn said he had told his informant to send another message to Elena using Harry's phone, that he wouldn't be able to meet up with her at that time due to some busy schedule but Shawn doesn't know I have other things in mind. Just the same as he wants Harry out of his life, I want Elena out of my life. I made sure no message was delivered to her. Now, I'm going to kill two birds with one stone.************Elena's PovIt was five-thirty when I received an urgent call that Anna was already in a bad state. I quickly rushed over, thinking I would be able to joggle
Harry's povI was really shocked that Elena would contact me. After all these times. I wondered what could be so important. I was happy I was going to see her very soon. Carol distracts me from my thoughts as she walked into my office. I gave her the job back because she was really good at her work and El who was supposedly my wife wasn't here anymore to give commands. Oh, how I love the way she bosses me. My hands touch the desk, the same spot we had our adventure. I recall the way I bent her ass over the desk. I couldn't get enough of the view. She was so pleasing. Her weak moans alone gave me an erection. How I wish to spank that ass once more. I bit my lips to the thought of her begging for more. I love it when she begs."Excuse me, sir. Sir. Sir." Carol called over and over but I just couldn't get El out of my mind.
{Right my wrongs by Bryson Thriller plays loudly in the club}Chloe sits alone on a spot, taking a drag from her cigarette, sipping it with a glass of whisky. She looks pale like someone who hadn't had enough sleep and truly she had not. She could not just forget the rejection. Shawn rejected her. How could she ever be the same? The same person that made her like this called for a meet-up; said it was urgent. What could it ever be if not Elena. Elena, Elena, Elena! She's always in my way. Why can't she just stay out of his life and let him move on. I already thought Shawn was now accepting the fact that Elena was out of his life and he could concentrate on better things, ME. I have everything he needs. All the love and care he need are right in front of him. Why can't he just look at him the same he does to her. Where could I have gone wrong? A hand touches her from her back, drawing her
The following morning, Shawn and I went off too work. I didn't want it too seem weird, both of us coming to work together so I insisted on driving my own car to work. One thing I hated most was gossip. Ever since the divorce, Betty would always bother me with questions, wishing to know the latest. I used that chance to quickly go to the hospital for a check-up. Last night's incident still kept on bothering me. That wasn't even the first time that happened but I never just paid attention to it.After the test result came out, the doctor came out with a smile saying that I was three weeks pregnant."Oh my God," I murmured silently, surprised it was really it. I didn't know what to feel at the moment. Should I be happy that I'm pregnant or what? I'm divorced now and this is obviously Harry's because it was long before we separated. I
