Serendipitous: Harry's Story

Lost and Found

New York

"Are you still looking for her?" Liam asked as he ate his ice cream with the wooden stick that it came with. They were in New York now, their time in Florida having been two weeks ago. Since then, Harry had been searching everywhere he could for 'Hope' the boys almost would've thought she was a fragment of Harry's imagination with the way he extolled her but Niall had been there too.

"No."

"Then why are you looking at Prayers about Hope again?"

"Because every time I type in Hope, bloody prayers come up."

"Yeah, that happens when you type in hope without a last name." Liam replied only to get a dirty look from Harry.

"I know that." Harry scowled.

Liam shrugged. "Let's go out, get you away from psalms before you start reciting them from memory."

Harry threw his head back and groaned. "I just want to find her!"

"I know mate, I know." Liam assured.

"Why are we doing this again? I mean you already eloped once." Hope said as she was laced up in a wedding gown.

"Because Ian's family has finally accepted me and now wants us to have a formal wedding." Lacey, Hope's sister said as she observed herself in the mirror. "Does this dress make me look fat?"

"No!" Hope practically yelled, having already answered that question eight times before. " And I can't believe it took them six years to accept your marriage, I mean at least when Belle was born they should've done something! Six frickin years! If my mother in law is like that I-"

"Mark's parents love you. And ohh that dress looks gorgeous on you. But I think my butt's too big from two children to fit in it." Lacey said, sighing sadly.

"Oh my god, Lacey!" Hope all but yelled. "You're completely gorgeous and I'm only 18 of course my butt looks good! If it didn't at this point, that's just sad." Hope scowled at her over dramatic sister.

"Hey you haven't given birth to two children yet!" Lacey yelled back. "I'd like to hear you then." She muttered.

"I might as well have, you keep having me take your children every night now. Just because I live with you temporarily does not mean I'm a built in babysitter."

"That's not my fault that you chose to study at NYU instead of back at home." Lacey retorted. "Anyway you get free meals."

"I cook them Lace."

"With our groceries," Lacey said but didn't let Hope retort. "and wait let me get another dress and my cell phone, I wanna send a pic of you to Mark, maybe get him thinking." She said winking.

"Lacey I'm only 18!"

"So what I got married when I was 21."

"You eloped with a guy whose parents hates your guts and call you by the name Lydie every time they see you. No thanks."

"Yes but Ian's a handsome, rich, my best friend/lover in one, and a great dad. I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world, not even for nice in laws." Lacey said smiling softly, going somewhere else for a minute.

Hope looked at her sister with a wide smile on. "Lace, I'm glad you found your soul mate and all but can I get out of this dress now?"

"No, let me get my phone first."

"Lacey!" Hope cried as her sister disappeared to get her phone.

"Sorry I think it's in my car." Lacey said before dissapearing.
