I woke up the next morning to the sound of light snoring. I took a deep breath and I inhaled an unfamiliar scent. Then, every memory came rushing back.

Each one played out in my head. I couldn’t decide if I was watching a horror film or a chick flick. I shut my eyes tightly trying to keep the images out, but it only made them come faster. I felt a body squirm underneath me and I shot up immediately. Harry shot up, too.

“Who? What? Where? Are you okay?” He had his hands in front of him like a ninja and I couldn’t help but start laughing my head off. “What’s so funny?” He asked. He began rubbing his eyes and he blinked letting his eyes adjust to the light.

I was having a full blown laugh attack now. I shut my eyes and held my stomach. I leaned back. I didn’t realize how close I was to the edge of the bed. I soon lost my balance and toppled onto the floor. This started a whole new round of hysterics. Harry joined me.

I tried to stand back up, but couldn’t find the strength so I just laid there, waiting for my laughing fit to subside. I saw Harry’s head come over the side of the bed and all of his curls flopped into his face.

“Boo!” he screamed. I began laughing even harder. This was a pleasant way to wake up. He reached his arm down and helped me hoist myself back onto the bed. We sat in each other’s arms until both of our laughing fits subsided. I wiped away a tear and Harry kissed my forehead.

Everything from last night popped back into my head and I immediately felt guilty. “Harry, we need to talk.”

“About what?” he asked. He pulled away so that he could look into my eyes.

“Last night.” I said.

“Look, I know you were just upset about Liam. I’m not going to take it personally. I understand. I’ve been where you are before. Don’t worry about hurting my feelings, Em. I’m here whenever, however you need me. No matter what.”

I immediately smiled. “Thank you.” I said.

He smiled and gave me a nod. “Well, I’m going to go shower. I need to get back to the house. I told everyone but Liam where I was going and they said that they would cover for me. And you need to make your train.”

He hopped off the bed and into the bathroom. I heard the water start and I fell back onto my pillows. I sat there for a while, just thinking about everything that had happened over the past couple of days. I didn’t know what I was going to do.

There was a part of me that still loved Liam, but there was a bigger part of me that hated him for what he did. I just knew that I had to talk to him. As soon as possible. I know that this isn’t going to be easy, but it’s what I’ve got to do.

I texted my mum.

Do you mind if I spend an extra day or two in London? Something has come up that I would really like to resolve it before I come home. I promise I will tell you when I get back.

I pressed send. A few minutes passed and my phone buzzed beside me.

As long as you are ok im fine with it. But only 2 more days. Love you!

I smiled at her text

Love u 2 mom :)

I pressed send and Harry came out of the bathroom. I took a deep breath.
