"Thanks for letting me crash here" you say to your sister.
"No problem. If I were you I would want time away too." She nods. "What are you thinking?"
"What do you mean?" You give her a confused look.
"Y/n, you've been here for 4 days. I know it sucks but you gotta figure something out" she says calmly.
"I can go stay with y/bf/n" you offer to leave.
"That's not the problem. The problem is that you haven't come up with a solution. If you don't want to be him anymore because what he did was totally unforgivable, then break up with the asshole. If you want to make it work, then talk to him." Your sister rationalizes.
"Yeah okay" you simply say.

"Hey y/n" your phone speaker sounds.
"Hey niall. What's up?" You answer the call.
"Nothing I just wanted to see how you're doing? You alright?" He's making sure you're alright.
"Um I guess." You breathe.
"Look I know you're super pissed at him, but Harry hasn't gotten outa bed. He's really worried about you. He wants to give you space just like you asked but we're worried about him." Niall explains. Your heart sinks hearing that Harry's not doing well.
"I-I just don't know" you sigh.
"That's okay. Just know that he feels really bad. I'll talk to you later?"
"Yeah" you rub your eyes, feeling a headache come on.

You pace back and forth outside the door, contemplating whether or not to knock. You review all the pros and cons. You decide to do it. After no response you pull out your phone and see that Harry isn't home. You take out your keys and walk in. You look around at the giant mess that Harry created. You scoff after seeing a two day old sandwich on the counter. You begin to walk past the mess but you can't just leave it. You take time to scrub all the dirty dishes, throw away all the nasty food and wipe everything down; it's still your place too. You walk into the bedroom and see your side of the bed the way you left it but you noticed your pillow was on his side. It takes everything you have not to cry. You go into the closet and remove your suit case. You let the tears fall freely onto your stuff below as you place your things in. You examine each object and recall all the fond memories. You hold a jacket that you wore to see the guys on tour, laughing at the time Harry was trying to impress you but he ended up falling on stage. You look around not seeing anything else you want. You sigh, closing the suit case after placing your laptop in.
"Hello?" You hear Harry ask. He walks around trying to find the person that tidied up for him. You quickly wipe the tears from your cheeks as you hear him get closer.
"Oh uh y/n" his hand goes to the back of his neck when he sees you in the bedroom. "Thanks for cleaning up the kitchen. I really appreciate it and from now on trust me I won't make any more messes like that. I can't lose you. I'm just happy your back to-" he rambles.
"Harry" you sigh "I just came to get some of my things" your words hit you hard. You didn't realize your decision until you said it out loud.
"Oh" you see the heartbreak in his eyes.
"I uh. I'm going to my moms for a little bit" you shrug, trying to make small talk in the awkward situation.
"How long?" He looks desperate.
"Oh I'm not sure. Maybe a few weeks. Maybe longer or shorter." You think. He nods and assuming he has nothing else to say you make your way out.
"Why?" He asks as your about to open the door and seemingly never returning.
"Why what?" You turn to face him.
"Why just leave? Why not fight? Do you not love me anymore?" Tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
"No. It's that, I won't ever stop loving you. But you did something that really hurts Harry. I'd rather leave now than be hurt worse later" you briefly explain.
"Hear me out ok? Yeah what I did was stupid. But it was almost a year ago now and out of something stupid I got something meaningful. I've thought about how if I could go back and reverse it I would, that's all I've been thinking about. But you know, then I thought, if I never took that dare, we never woulda met. I never would've met the person who shows me the light when I don't think the darkness will ever fade. The person who makes me smile like a fool at the littlest things. The person who supports me in everything I do. I never would've fell in love with the women I want to spend the rest of my life with. The women I want to have kids with. The person who is funny, and smart and kind. So if you want to go, then go. I just want you to be happy. But I'm still in this 100%"
"Harry" you sigh, trying not to cave.
"Y/n please don't just give up, you see how I live without you" he pleads, gesturing to the mess around you.
"But what if-"
"Please?" he murmurs. You stay silent. You look around, and at Harry a few times.
You take a slow, deep breath, "so then your gonna unpack my stuff right?" You grin. He smiles wide, engulfing you in his grasp. You're happy to see his eyes bright again. You relax into his chest, smelling his subtle cologne that you adore.
"I'm sorry" he whispers as he presses a kiss to your hair.
