' I always say how I don't need you ,
But it's always gonna come right back to me ,
Please , don't leave me .'

The last few weeks have gone by pretty smoothly , thank god. Logan, Elle ,Harry and I went to the hospital for thanksgiving . I know my aunt said she wasn't expecting anything but you could see how happy she was that we were all there with her. She was so excited to see Harry and I there together, Harry said that it was the best way to celebrate his first thanksgiving.

I thought I would have so much to catch up on with classes but luckily I don't . I stuck with doing the online classes because it was way more flexible with my work schedule . Harry and I have been doing really well lately , after my whole meltdown. I accepted the fact that I'm not going to be able to drop everything and move to England with him as much as I fucking want to, it's not realistic . I can dream though, It's insane to think that three months ago when I was leaving Seattle that I would find green eyes. He's such a little fuck, I love him.

He just seems too good to be true sometimes. He'll show up at my work just to kiss me then go drive my siblings somewhere , he's amazing .

Right now we are driving to somewhere on Long Island because Harry wanted to surprise me. I really want to fucking know where he's taking me but he refuses and it's pissing me off and he knows it's.

'I'm still standing better than I ever did' I hear Harry mumble one of my favorite Elton John songs while its playing in the background and it makes me smile. Harry squeezes my thigh and I look up at him and his big toothy grin. "What's on your mind , green eyes?" Harry questions while we're stuck in traffic . "Nothing." he squeezes my thigh again. "Nothing " I say but he's not having it. "You're a terrible liar."

"I know , sorry baby." I sit up and peck his cheek which makes him scrunch his nose and he kisses my cheek back. "I'm bored" I state and slump in my seat as Harry's hand lingers on my thigh. "You're bored ." he states back and I nod. "Well lucky for you , I know a short cut." he gets out of the lane to make his way to the exit and starts speeding . "Harry! What are you doing ?" I exclaim , "We're taking a short stop before out final destination , princess."

He continues with his fast pace until he comes to an abrupt stop in from of the woods, "Harry, wha-" he cuts me off by putting his hand on my mouth then slowly backs away and gets out of the car. I grab my jacket from the back because it's cold as fuck , New York winters are so much fucking fun. Harry throws on his leather jacket , he looks free..happy. I've been accepting happiness more lately , not as much as something that seems out of reach and only certain people have it. Harry always says to me that everyone deserves happiness even the worsts of people because they had something that had hurt them at some point too. But I don't think that he thinks he deserves happiness....

"C'mon princess, hurry up." Harry grabs may hand and tugs me along like he's a toddler going to Disney world, why is he so excited ?

He stops abruptly and releases a breath and drags me forward ,"Look." he whispers like he'll wake someone up. I look at what he's starring at and it's a small waterfall, nothing insane but just big enough to be a waterfall. The water at the bottom looks as if it's starting to freeze because of the weather, I wouldn't be surprised it's supposed to snow tomorrow. "What ya think?" he questions while making mindless patterns on my hand he's holding . "It's beautiful,Harry. Why did you bring me here? In the winter." I state and see my breath as I speak.

"Well one you were bored and two I've always had sort of a thing for the woods because there always a good hiding place and one day I was drunk and high as hell, don't worry this was when I was a freshman , before I knew you.  Anyways , I was drunk and I was kicked out of this party for being a dick per usual and I called Lou to pick me up but he said he would be thirty minutes so I started walking aimlessly and ended up here. I thought how something so beautiful could be so hidden." he explains and stills has his eyes locked on the waterfall as I keep mine locked on him . That's a major epiphany for someone who was drunk and high, I couldn't think of that sober.
