Chapter 26.

Sasha's POV.

"I really like you Harry."

The words came out of my mouth even before I could think.

I lifted my head and looked at Harry. Harry had a shocked expression on his face. Other than that, I didn't get anything from him as a response.

"Harry?", I said softly, pulling away my arm, which was wrapped around his.

I was waiting from an answer from his side, and he was completely blank.

He looked away to the ground, and sighed.

"Sasha..", he whispered. He was barely audible.

Honestly, I had no plans to tell Harry about my feelings for him right now. But sitting with him like that, maybe singing to each other, led me to do it. I guess I was just going with the flow. And thinking about it now, I don't regret it.

I mean if you feel something for someone, you should tell it to them. And of course I don't believe in the fact that it should always be the guy who takes the first step.

But seeing Harry's reaction, I was doubting my decision. I realised he was neither happy, nor upset. I could see he was a bit confused. Maybe it's all to early for him. All of this. We barely know each other. And such a sudden step from my side, was a bit odd for him.

"Harry, it's okay, I understand." , I said to him, and stood up from the bench.

Yes I was understanding what Harry felt right now, but a part of me wanted him to say something. I don't expect him to say the same thing to me, but atleast something that could give me hope.

Harry looked up to me and stood up.

"Sasha, I really don't know what to say about it right now.", he said slowly in his deep voice.

"It's okay.", I forced a smile.

But it was just not okay for me, although I was pretending that I was all cool about it.

"The thing is we barely know each other, and I really don't want to rush into things and mess it up.", Harry said, looking into my eyes.

I didn't know what to think. I was hurt, a lot. I know I shouldn't be expecting a lot from him, but I couldn't help it.

All I needed was a sign of hope. Hope that we could be together, not now but maybe later.

It's been just a few days since I knew him, and my feelings for him have only strengthened day by day.

Before I could realise, a tear went down my cheek. Stupid tear ducts.

I quickly wiped it off and turned to my heels to walk away. I didn't want to get all weak in front of him.

But, why am I crying?

"Sasha wait." I heard Harry call out from behind.

I stopped in the way and turned to look at him.

Please say it Harry.

"I'm sorry." , Harry said, pushing his curls to the back of his head.

Great.

I just nodded, turned back and walked back to the room. Tears were welling up in my eyes and I wiped them off again, and again. But new ones were quickly coming up.

Harry's POV.

She's hurt, and a lot I should say.

I made her cry.

I made her upset.

Great Harry.

But I don't know. I'm so confused at the moment. It's all a riddle for me right now. I agree Sasha is a really nice girl, and I did feel something for her a few moments ago. But when she said she really likes me, my mind literally stopped working.

I was struggling to say something, but I was just not able to.

I know she was'nt hoping for me to say that I like her too, but the way she looked at me, I knew she needed some hope. Hope that maybe things between us could work out. Maybe we could try.

But I completely ruined everything, because I was..scared?

No I wasn't scared.

Maybe I was.

I let out a groan and made my way back to the room. And I completely hate myself right now. I broke that innocent girl's heart.

I didn't want to go back in there. First because I'll have to face Sasha, and second I'll have to sing with her, the same damn song.

But if I don't go in there, the boys will be worried, and I'm really not in a mood to talk to anyone about it right now.

I slowly walked up to the door and pushed it open.

My eyes immediately searched for Sasha. I hope she isn't crying.

I looked towards the far corner of the room, and there she was standing alone, earphones plugged in her ears, and her arms were wrapped around herself, as if she was hugging and trying to contain herself.

She wasn't crying right now, and I felt a bit relieved about it.

But her expressions told me she could burst into tears any moment.

I have no idea what I should do right now. I can't go to her, because she will definitely not want to talk to me after I broke her heart.

I feel so freaking guilty right now.

"Harry! Where were you?", Niall called out to me from the side.

"I was outside for some t-", I sneezed.

Shit.

"Geez, where's your sweatshirt Harry?", I heard Niall from the side.

I don't know why my eyes went to Sasha right after that, making me ignore Niall.

She walked up to me, and handed me my sweatshirt. She was no longer wearing it when I came back to the room.

"Than-", I sneezed again.

I took the sweatshirt from her and wore it quickly. I'm gonna get sick.

"Harry, go back to your room, and take some rest, you'll get sick.", she said plainly.

Even though she wasn't showing it, I knew she was worried.

"And I'm sorry about this.", she looked in my eyes for a second, then looked away.

"Its okay.", I faked a smile.

She nodded and walked back to the place she was standing earlier.

I've ruined everything.

Without saying anything to anyone, I turned and walked out of the room. It's the best option for me right now.

Never in my life have I been so confused about anything.

Zayn's POV.

What happened to Harry? I watched him walk out of the room. He seemed a bit upset.

Wait.

Sasha.

I looked up to Sasha standing in the corner of the room, who was lost in her thoughts. And I could see she was also upset.

I need to ask her what's wrong.

"Sasha? Is everything alright?", I said to her as I walked up to her.

She looked up at me and my eyes went wide with surprise. She's crying?

"Sasha? What happened?", I asked her again, placing my hand on her shoulder.

Without saying a word, she came closer to me, and hugged me tight. I hugged her back and she sobbed.

"Sasha, what's wrong dear?", I asked her softly.

What happened between the two of them?

I pulled away and said to her, " Come with me."

She quickly wiped her tears, but they just didn't stop welling up again.

I grabbed her wrist and made my way to the door.

"Zayn? What happened? ", Zara asked, looking back and forth between Sasha and me.

"Come." , I said to her.

She followed us and she was just as confused as me.

"Sasha? Why are you crying?", Zara asked Sasha as we walked out of the room.

Thankfully the rest of the guys were busy in themselves.

I let go of Sasha's arm and turned to her as we reached the canteen.

"Can we please go to my room? It's cold here.", Sasha said with a heavy voice.

"Yeah let's go.", I answered and we walked to the girls hostel.

....

I pushed open the door and let the girls walk in. I followed them and shut the door behind me.

"Okay dear, tell me what's wrong? I saw Harry walk out of the room. And he was upset. And you're crying. What happened?", I said to Sasha as I walked up to her.

She took a seat on the bed and buried her face in her palms.

I waited for her to answer patiently. Zara was seated beside her, hugging her.

Sasha lifted her face, and looked to the ground.

"I ruined everything."

What?

"What do you mean Sasha?", I crouched on the floor in front of her.

"I told Harry what I felt about him. And.."

"And?", Zara asked softly.

"Harry didn't say what I wanted to hear. And here I am crying. He's upset. He's gonna be sick because of me. Why the hell did I even tell him that I like him!", Sasha shouted.

I got it. Harry said no.

"Sasha, please calm down.", Zara whispered to her, caressing her back.

"Maybe I should talk to Harry about it.", I said.

That seemed to me a good idea. I'll talk to him about it. He probably needs to talk to someone about it right now.

"Zayn please don't.", Sasha said to me.

"Sasha, listen to me. Harry is a nice guy dear, and if he did this, their must be a good enough reason behind it. Maybe I talk to him and get things better between the two of you. I can't see both of you like this. Okay?", I waited for Sasha to agree.

"Okay. But please don't get angry at him. It's all my fault.", Sasha sobbed.

"It's not Sasha. Telling someone how you feel about them is not wrong.", Zara explained her.

"I don't know." ,Sasha sighed.

"I'm gonna go talk to him. And Sasha please don't cry.", I pleaded.

Sasha nodded and wiped away her tears.

I stood up and gave her a quick peck on her forehead.

I turned around and walked to the door.

"Zayn!", I heard Sasha call out.

"Yeah?"

"Harry's probably sick right now. Please see if he needs any medicines.", Sasha said softly

I gave her a smile and nodded.

She loves him so much.

I pulled open the door and walked out.

I hope Harry is okay.
