This is giving host of Harryâs House, the local television show that teaches children how to be kind and also how to do random crafts like knitting sweatersâš
And with a curt nod, Harry was heading off the stage, back toward the table. Y/N was still standing, clapping for the man she loved, with not a once of happiness in her body. Once he got back to the table, he took his seat right next to her. As the applause went quiet, and the announcer was back on the stage wrapping up the ceremony, Y/N lowered back to her seat.
She felt his hand squeeze her knee beneath the table. She ignored it of course, she couldnât deal with him right now. She knows he can tell she is very upset with him but neither of them say anything to the other.
When she felt the squeeze on her knee for the second time, she looked up to see what he couldâve possibly wanted. She was met with a melancholy look in his eye.
âBaby, please I know youâre upset but-â
âSheâs coming.â Y/N cut him off. She felt his hand rip away from her knee with a quickness.
Leena came into view as she took her seat on the opposite side of Harry.
Y/N sat in her seat with a big pout on her face, hoping it wasnât too noticeable to everyone around her. She hated seeing Leena and Harry together, it made her sick to her stomach.
She was in love with a man who was not hers, and there was nothing she could do about it.
When Leena finally moved her lips from Harryâs, he took a quick glance over at y/n, but she made sure to look away before they made eye contact.
before Harry could say a word, Y/N stood up and placed the napkin that was previously on her lap, on her empty plate.
âiâm just going to run to the restroomâ she murmured, even though she doubted anyone really cared about the whereabouts of Harryâs personal assistant.
she made her way across the ballroom with a quickness. The Gala was to congratulate Harry for yet another one of his achievements as CEO of the multimillion pound company Harry had built from the ground up. Y/N was more proud of him than he will ever know.
She wanted to be the one kissing him. She wanted to be the one flashing her engagement ring. She wants to be his. But he has Leena, and y/n has to excuse herself from the pain seeing them together was causing.
When she reached the single stall bathroom, she shut the door and took a deep breath in as the tears rolled down.
get it together she thought to herself.
before she could turn the faucet on to freshen up her face, she heard the door open and shut, with the click of the lock.
âBaby..â she heard his voice right before she felt his arms wrap around her waist from the behind.
âDonât- iâm sorry honey okay?â his voice sweet and sorry as he kissed her neck gently. âi know youâre upset but-â
âyou didnât even mention me in your speech. at all. not even in the slightest. But I know, iâm just your assistant right? you can fuck me in every corner of your office, but a simple acknowledgment is where you draw the line?â
âYou mean way more to me than that, and you know it.â Harry said as he turned her around to face him âI just- I was just nervous to mention you in my speech. I didnât want anyone getting suspicious. You know you mean everything to me, donât you baby? I canât eat sleep or breathe without you, please donât be mad at meâŠâ He trailed off as he used the hand he had on the back of her neck to pull her into a deep kiss.
This is how it usually went ever since they started. she knew it was wrong but she didnât care. As long as she had her Harry, nothing else really mattered.

Life had been good to you. For the most part.
Life had given you a wholesome family who supported your every choice - even the drastic ones like choosing to live in Namibia for a year. Life had given you an incredible education, leading you on to a fulfilling life of educating the new generations. Life had given you so much love. Life had given you a healthy body and mind which youâd always cherished, up until recently.
Finding âthe oneâ in your life isnât supposed to be an easy road, but you were challenged with the hardest of them all.

The name of the man who has made life feel meaningless and you feel worthless.
So Late Night Phone Call⊠literally I was in a situation like this w/one of my best friends for 5 years!!! The way you wrote it and the emotions the character was experiencing & rationalizing it & then feeling super awful and guilty after⊠ughh it literally made me relive all of the turmoil I felt when I had been in that situation. Literally I sometimes still feel guilty about that even if in my case my friend married his gf a year ago, so he chose her. Which Iâm happy for them and glad it worked out for them, but sometimes I still feel bad & guilty for what we had done.
You did an amazing job with this series! I loved it!
this just warmed my heart! firstly, thank you so much <3 i created this story because i myself have been through a similar situation and it was heart breaking so i figured i would share my story through this! and secondly, iâm so sorry you had to go through that. this story can be the happy ending we both deserve. thank you for reading! it means the world to me <333
but it wasnât an awkward silence, it was a comforting one. the only sounds heard here and there were y/nâs sniffles and adam tapping him thumbs on the steering wheel. adam agrees to drive because he had sobered up enough, and y/n was in no position to do so. her feelings were all jumbled and she had no words that could accompany how she was feeling right now.
walking away from harry after he had expressed his feelings to her was the hardest thing sheâs had to do in her life, at least thatâs what sheâs feeling like right now. itâs everything sheâs ever wanted to hear, so why was their so much pain in her heart?
y/n was pulled out of her pool of thoughts when adam parked the car.
âcâmon babe, iâll walk you up.â adam spoke after he came around and opened the passenger door for her.
when they reached her door, y/n was fumbling with the key so bad, which caused adam to gently grab the keys from her and unlock the door for her.
she mumbled a thank you as she entered her apartment and took her shoes off.
âyou wanna tell me whatâs got you so sad, babe?â adam spoke as he shut the door behind him.
âiâm just- im a horrible person, i think.â
ânow whatâs got you saying that about my best friend?â he responded as they were now facing each other on her couch.
âhave you ever loved someone you shouldnât, adam?â y/n asked him instead of answering his question. adam shifted uncomfortably in his seat before responding.
âuhm, i donât think so, i mean there is never anything wrong with loving someone, right. it maybe only becomes wrong if it stops feeling good.â adam said.
âyou always say the right things... but i donât wanna talk about this anymore. letâs just watch criminal minds and cuddle, that will make me feel much betterâ y/n said as she shifted over to him, and thatâs how they spent the rest of their night.
until she got a phone call.
henry was sleeping next to the fireplace while adam was snoring after the second episode they had started. y/n heard her phone ringing, so she walked over to her purse realizing she hadnât taken it out since she got home.
harryâs caller id was displayed across the screen as y/n panicked. before she could make up her mind, the call went away and she was met with her notification screen.
harry: 4 missed calls
harry: please, y/n/n answer the phone.
harry: i need to talk to you.
harry: please, im begging you. just call me back.
y/n didnât know what to think. should she call back? should she just ignore him?
instead of dealing with the emotional turmoil, she powered her phone off and went to sleep.
. . .
it had been a couple days since harryâs birthday party. y/n had been keeping herself busy with assignments, leaving her phone at home and taking henry on walks that lasted longer than they needed to, and finding herself doing yoga with her phone in another room. she hated being around her phone because she knew he would call.
she wouldnât say she was avoiding harry, she was ⊠just acting like the problem wasnât there. pretending that she was living the life she knew before harry came along. so no, she doesnât consider that avoiding.
and she was fine. or at least she thought she was. but all that was interrupted on the 5th day of ânot avoiding harryâ when she woke up to a loud set of knocks on the door.
âcoming!â she shouted after the 3rd set of knocks. when she swung the door open, expecting to see adam asking for toothpaste, she was met with a disgruntled harry. her heart sank to her stomach because she felt horrible. of course she was avoiding harry, she couldnât deny it now, not when he was standing in front of her, looking like he hadnât slept in days.
âharr- what are you-â
âyou havenât been answering my calls.â he cut her off. venom was laced in his tone, and that was how she knew he was angry, of course he was angry!
âiâve been busy.â y/n spoke, nervous as she stepped aside and invited harry into her home.
he walked in, with out hesitation. he sat down on her couch as she followed him into the living room.
âdo you want anything to drink?â y/n knew why he was here but she wanted to stall, anything to avoid the heartbreak she was expecting.
she had a feeling he was coming here to tell her he couldnât see her anymore. she had a hard time believing all the things he said to her that day of his party. it seemed too good to be true. the one person she wanted so bad and more than anything, felt the same about her? thereâs no way this doesnât come at a price. she just waiting for the bubble to burst so harry could leave she so she could cry her eyes out-
âi broke up with olivia.â harry said as he interpreted her thoughts. she couldnât believe her ears.
âwait yo- you whatâ y/n sat down.
âafter you left with adam that night i just- i couldnât take it anymore. i knew i couldnât stay with her any longer knowing how i feel about you so, i went over to her place the next morning and i- i broke it off.â harry spoke. seeming very nervous.
y/n was stunned. she completely expected him to leave her, thatâs all she was used to.
after her silence, harry continued.
âeverything i said that night, i meant it. all of it. i just didnât realize how much i felt for you until, one day i just did. i never should have put you in the position that i did, itâs just- iâve never had feelings so strong for someone while i was with someone else. i didnât want to hurt anyone, yet i ended up hurting everyone, you included. and you didnât deserve that. iâm so sorryâ
âharry i- i just donât know what to sayâ y/n spoke.
âsay youâll be with me. we can take things slow. i know the circumstances arenât ideal but i donât care, as long as iâm with you. you donât understand how much i love you and i really wish you didâ he said, with the last part being a murmur.
âharry, i mean what we did was horrible. i mean olivia hates me, and for good reason! but i wish i could be selfish and throw everything out of the window but itâs hard.â y/n said, as harry looked down at his shoes, disappointed.
he then kneeled down in front of her and placed his hands into hers.
ây/n, please. if any part of you wants this as bad do, you have to tell me. we can make this work because i love you. iâve never even loved anyone else enough to tell them those words, not even Olivia.â
âwhat?â he never said those words to anyone else? is this real? y/n thought to herself.
âyouâre the first, and only one. and i want to be your first and only too, if youâll have meâ he placed his head into her lap as he begged her for a chance at a real relationship.
is this what it feels like when you get everything you want? butterflies were fluttering in her stomach, and all the guilt and pain that once filled her heart when it came to harry vanished. she knew he loved her, and she loved him just as much.
she bent down on the floor next the harry, and placed her hands on both of his cheeks. she knew what she wanted, and it felt good to finally have it.
âi love you so much harry. and i want this, i want this so bad, if youâll have me.â
a/n: IM SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVER but i really hope you guys liked this!!! let me know what you guys think please please please, all feedback is soo so so appreciated <3
