Harry’s POV
I thought the talk Sky and I had the other day was going to be the first step to the recovery of our relationship. I thought after that day we’d start talking more and hanging out like we used to, but none of that happened. I didn’t realize how serious she was when she said she needed a break.
But I didn’t lie when I said I’d fight for her. I’m going to win her back, one way or another.
Louis and I haven’t talked, and boy can I say, he can sure throw a punch. My cheek bruised, leaving an unpleasant dark purple shade on my skin. The boys have asked what happened but I just said that I hit my head walking into the door. I can’t say I don’t deserve it. If anything, I deserve another few punches. I deserve more than what I got. The fact that Skylar still loves me amazes me. Knowing that she’s willing to attempt to keep us together makes me feel grateful.
I don’t deserve her, and I’m well aware. Someone so beautiful and so perfect deserves so much more than plain old me.
She deserves a man who can love her, hold her, talk to her, comfort her, and definitely not cheat on her, but I believe I can be that man. I can control myself. I can earn her back.
The only difficult part about earning her back would have to be Louis. He’s been by her side for the past week and won’t let me near her.
He even sleeps next to her at night.
I am not very fond of that. I know that I and Skylar aren’t really together, and I know that nothing would ever happen between Sky and Louis, it’s just... I don’t like the thought of Skylar being near anyone else. Especially in a bed. If anyone is to be by her side at night, it should be me.
How am I supposed to convince her that she can trust me again with Louis holding her hostage? There’s no way that he’ll leave her alone in a room with me.
I need to fix us. I know that in order to talk to Skylar, I’ll have to get through to Louis first and I’m willing to do it. Maybe if I can get him to truly believe that I still love her and that I still need her, he’ll let me earn her back.
It won’t be easy, but I won’t take no for an answer.
My main focus is to get her back. I broke her and now I need to fix her.
I know she said she wanted some time and space between us, but if I don’t attempt every so often her feelings will fade and I’ll lose her for good. I refuse to take that risk.
I want to win her back before she leaves. We never got to talk about how long she was staying-and I hope it’s for long-but I need her to be mine before she goes or else I don’t know what I’ll do.
I’ve never fallen so hard for a girl in my life. I’ve never cared so much for such a person and I’m willing to do whatever it takes.

I watched as Skylar tugged at Louis’ arm to go into another room. She wanted to tell him something. He looked concerned and I’m sure I looked the same. What’s happening?
She walked into another room and Louis was quick to follow. He shut the door behind him, but not all the way. The door was lightly cracked open.
I walked up to the door and looked through the crack and watched Skylar pace the room nervously.
“What’s wrong, Sky?” Louis asked, watching her as she walked side to side.
“I need to tell you something, but promise not to get mad.”
He bit his lip as he made his thinking face. He was trying to think of something she might want to talk to him about, but soon he gave in. “What’s wrong, love?”
“I decided a couple weeks ago that I’m going to visit my dad.”
Skylar and I hardly ever talked about her personal life. That was something she never wanted to discuss. When we first met, I remember wanting to try and figure her out. I wanted to learn about her past and why she came to London. Her answers to my question were very basic, nothing detailed, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t true. At the time I didn’t think much of it.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little mad. Obviously she’s talked to Louis about her dad. This is something she hasn’t talked to me about. Not once. Knowing that she trusted Louis more than me to talk about her parent angered me. But I have to respect her choice. She must’ve had a good reason to it.
“No.” Louis blankly stated.
She didn’t look too surprised at his answer, but she didn’t hesitate to continue. “I’m going, Lou. I already decided and I won’t change my mind.”
“Why would you even consider going back there even if it’s just for a visit? Why would you even want to go back there?” Louis retorted, placing his hand on his forehead and lightly rubbing his temple.
“I think he’s changed.” She said softly.
“What if he hasn’t?”
“You don’t know that!”
“And neither do you, Skylar. You’re not going, it’s not safe!”
Why wouldn’t it be safe? What happened down there that I don’t know about?
“I’ve already made up my mind and I’m leaving soon.” She said firmly. “Please don’t be mad Lou, I just need to see him and get a little bit of closure. He is my dad.”
“You’re not going alone.”
She let out a long breath. “I don’t need anyone to come with me.”
“Can you stop being so difficult? You’re not going unless there’s someone there with you. I’m not risking anything happening to you.”
I watched as Skylar ran her hand through her hair in frustration. I could tell she was about to give in.
“Who’s supposed to go with me then?”
“I will.” I accidently spoke. Their eyes landed on me as I walked through the door.
Louis rolled his eyes and Skylar had a blank look on her face. He mumbled a few words to himself as I made my way towards them.
“Anyone but Harry can go with you.” Louis spoke in an annoyance. I understand that he’s still pissed at me, but I need to fix things with here. Whatever happened down there must’ve been tough for her and I want to be there and help her. I want to be by her side for moments like these. I can protect her and watch her. This could be one of the best ways to prove myself to her.
“You don’t get to make that decision, Louis.” I spoke, glancing at Sky. She stood there a little baffled. Her lips pursed to the side as Louis looked at her waiting for some kind of response.
“I don’t want anyone to go with me.”
“That’s not an option; it’s not safe for you to go by yourself.” Louis explained softly.
I was going to ask why it wouldn’t be safe and ask about what happened down there, but I’m determined to go with her, so while we’re on our way I’ll ask for an explanation, but now is not the time.
“I should go because according to everyone else, we’re still dating. It’ll look suspicious if Louis goes with you and I don’t.” I suggested.
“He’s got a point,” Louis confessed. “He’s going with you then, I guess. But Styles, I swear I get one phone call from her complaining about you I’ll end you.”
“I won’t do anything bad to her. I’m trying to earn her back because I love her.” I glanced towards Sky as I finished my sentence. I watched as she blushed slightly and averted her gaze from me.
Louis rolled his eyes at my words. It’s still clearly evident that he hasn’t forgiven me, but right now, once I get Skylar’s full forgiveness, Louis will realize that he can forgive me too.
“Well I’ve got a few things to do, Sky you want to come?” Louis asked.
She shook her head. “I think I’m just going to get some more sleep.”
He nodded. “Call me if you need anything.”
She smiled at him as he walked out the door, but it quickly faded when she saw that I was still here.
“Aren’t you going to leave?”
I shook my head while walking closer to her so I was now standing in the spot in that was once occupied by Louis.
“I’m not really happy with you right now.”
“Why?”
“Because, Harry! I just explained to you a few day ago that I need some space! And now you have to come with me to meet my dad! I told you I needed some time alone...”
“Why don’t you want me visiting your dad?” I asked calmly. She looked up at me and the looks of her eyes were tired and sad.
“I don’t want anyone meeting him till I’m okay with him.”
“What did he do to you?”
“I... I don’t want to talk about it right now. And maybe not for a while. But right now that’s something I don’t feel like I can trust you with.”
Her words cut like knives. Although I understand her situation and why she doesn’t trust me, hearing her say it hurt.
I know she’s scared to get hurt by me again. I need her to understand that I never want to hurt her ever again. I want her to trust me.
At the same time, I’m a little scared to find out what happened to her. What if it is something really bad? How will I handle it when she tells me?
“Promise me this, Sky.” I spoke grabbing her attention. She looked in the eye and nodded. “If you ever want to talk to me, about anything, you can trust me. I may not have your trust right now but I’m always here. I trying so hard to earn it back but never feel like you have to keep things bottled up. I’m here for you, baby, always.”
Thankfully, from her reaction, she took in great consideration of my words, and maybe that’s a sign that things will get better between us sooner. Maybe now she’s willing to trust me a little more.
