Avery's P.O.V.

One year. One year today.

I sit up from my warm bed, unable to hold back my smile. I hug my squishy teddy bear to my chest. Harry had won it for me at a carnival this summer. Liam had named him Bruce. I argued that the bear was a girl and secretly named her Emma. I loved the name Emma. I thought it was sweet. 

Emma, or Bruce, whichever you prefer, is one year old today. It was a year ago today, Harry Styles asked me, yes me of all people, to be his girlfriend. We were sat on top of the ferris wheel and he had sneaked the teddy bear in his bag and gifted it to me. That's when he kissed me for the first time and he spoke the seven words that i still dream about to this day. Avery, will you please be my girlfriend? I still melt at the thought of the memory.

So not only was my bear a year old, today was mine and Harry's one year anniversary as boyfriend and girlfriend. I sighed and flopped back into my arrangement of pillows. I missed Harry. I hadn't been able to see him, actually see him in person in over a month. we Skyped a few times, texted everyday and called almost every night, but i hadn't seen him in way too long for my liking.

So, in case you have been living under a rock the pass two years, Harry Styles is a singer in one of the biggest boy bands these days, one of the biggest in the world; One Direction. Him and the other four lads in the band have been touring for three months in Australia. Three flipping long months. It is so hard to be in a relationship like this, but it's worth it, Harry means the world to me.

Luckily, the beginning of the tour was in Ausgust, so after the first week away from me, Harry immediatley flew me down under for us to be able to spend time together. I even got to a couple shows. I was able to stay for two weeks before my classes at Uni started.

It's November 1st, our anniversary and i will be going to the airport to pick up Harry in a little over an hour. He might be jet lag, but i just want to see his face once in person and that will make today the best anniversary ever for me.

Personally, i was a fan of one Direction before harry and i started dating, not a directioner- i won't lie, but i fell in love with Harry's dimples the second i laid eyes on him. We met in the Tesco in London. I was on break from my last year of Secondary school. I live with my best friend Jasmine. She goes to Uni with me, but when we're not in school, i live with her. My parents died when i was sixteen in a car accident. 

But on to a happier story of how Harry and i met. Niall actually was the cause of Harry's approach. it's a rather funny story, but i think about it everyday.

I was in the local Tesco in London in the beginning of October, a month before Harry and i became official, and i had grabbed the last case of beer on the shelves, just as a blond little old Irishman did the same. He tugged slightly on the box and i refused to let go.

"Oh, i'm sorry," he apologized, "i had this first."

I smirked at him, of course at the time, not really noticing who he was, "Ladies first?" i questioned.

"Nope," the lad popped his 'p', "I ain't no gentleman."

I cringed at his slang, for i was studying English/Literature in Uni, "Who do you think you are?" i asked him in a rather rude tone.

"A man that wants his beer," he pointed to his chest with his free hand, "I'm Irish you know, and we Irish folk need our beer."

"That's good for you," i nodded at him.

He smiled, feeling accomplished, "It is, thank you," he gave a tug at the case, thinking i was giving it to him.

"I hope you can find your Irish beer somewhere else then," i smiled evilly at him, watching his face fall to pout in frustration.
