Fifty-Three (Over again)

~Previously on Addicted~

My biggest mistake wasn't falling for you, it was thinking that you had fallen for me too.

Did he fall in love with me? Does he think I don't feel the same for him?

He moved to England with you to protect you from Shadow. He risked his life to kill Shadow for you. He did everything for you, and you did nothing.

...he still stayed here when you left. When YOU left.

"Louis?"

"What are you doing here?..."

"Louis I'm sorry but I'm busy."

"Can I have your number?"

He raised his arms next to him, in a position that people do when feeling like flying.

"Harry no!"

Rose POV

Harry puts his arms down, and turns to look at me. His eyes get watery when they were met with mine. I can see his hands ball up into a fists, but then relax when I take a few steps closer to him. Only a huge space of harsh wind is the only thing that separates us both from being close together.

"Please don't do it." I shout over the whistling sound of the wind.

"Why? So you can leave me again just like everyone else has?!" His words come out as harsh as the wind, but they hit me worse. I take a few steps closer to him, but I fear he might jump off, so I don't get that close.

He closed his eyes, but opened them in the same time as he opened his mouth to speak.

"My dad left me. Now my mom isn't here, and I don't even remember the last words she spoke to me. You keep on coming and leaving, so I don't see the point on even trying-"

"Harry I'm sorry." I take those last steps that I feared on taking, getting closer to him, almost touching him. He gets down from the edge, and that made me relax a little. I grab him into a tight hug, but he doesn't hug back.

"I love you." I begin to speak against his ear. "and I will love you until I die, and if there's life after that, I'll love you then." I mean every word and I always will. His arms then find their way around me, holding me tight against him. He lowers his head a little so his mouth is against my ear.

"Can we start over?" His words make a smile form on my lips, and the feeling of fear slips away from the inside of me.

"Yes." I hold him tight, and I never want to let him go.

Harry and I got out of the building. We crossed the street and we walked towards a small coffee shop that was right around the corner, the same one where he proposed to me a while ago. We're walking in a peaceful silence while our fingers are intertwined with each other.

I catch him a few times look over to me from the corner of my eye. I pretend I don't see him, so it can be his little secret. It's weird how the roller coaster that we're in keeps on going up and down, but never ends. One second we're fine, and in the other it comes crashing down. It's all peaceful, but then gets intense.

So much has happened in just one year. We both gave up on things just so we could be together. I gave up my family back home so Harry could protect me here in England. But I sometimes ask myself if it was worth it. If I leaving my parents and sister behind all the right decision to make. My mind and heart both have a different point of view, which messes me up on doing decisions. But I think I did a good decision, for now.

"What would you like to drink?" I hear Harry ask. We're inside the coffee shop and I haven't noticed that because my mind was distracted by my cloud of thoughts. I let go of his hand and I look up to the menu that's attached to the wall with some lights around it.

"Uhh I would like a hazelnut iced coffee please." I say without taking my eyes away from the menu. While he tells the cashier our order I sit down on a booth next to the window.

The smell of fresh coffee takes my nose on a trip. I grew up with the smell because my mom would do fresh coffee every morning before she went off to work. Ugh why am I thinking of my mom right now? I need to be focused on Harry now and let all those thoughts of my mom behind me.

I get my focus back when my eyes land on a woman. She is seated on a chair with her back facing me, her hair lose and rested on her shoulders. She is wearing a black blouse that fades its way to white at the bottom, with black skinny jeans and wedge heels. She is talking to a guy, but he doesn't look familiar. In one hand she is holing a cup of coffee, while the other is rested on the table... and has a watch I have seen before. Wait I think I know her. She can't be who I think she is.

She's Amanda.

I quickly stand up, but Harry gets on my way. "I have our iced coffees." He says. I smile but I then move a little to the side so I can have a better look at the woman, well Amanda. But she's gone, along with the guy she was talking to.

"Shit." I whisper to myself, but Harry heard.

He sets the drinks on top of the table before placing a hand on my shoulder. "Is something wrong?" He asks with worried eyes.

"I saw Amanda." I whisper.

He looks around before looking back at me. "Amanda is not here. You're maybe seeing things-"

"I saw her!" Everyone turns to stare at us when the words shouted out of my mouth. Harry swallows hard before helping me sit down.

"Well if you did see her she's not here now." Maybe Harry is right, maybe I am seeing things. I need to relax and enjoy the iced coffee with Harry. I need to relax.

When Harry sees me struggling with calming myself down he reaches for my hand, and rubs his thumb against the tp o it.

"Lets take this drinks home, and enjoy it with a movie. What do you think?" I give him a smile before giving him a nod of agreement. We both stand up and grab our drinks before walking out of the coffee shop.

•••

We both walked back home instead of taking a cab. We talked and we shared a laugh for the first time in what feels like since forever. When we got to his house we saw a middle age man standing next to the front door. When he hears our foot steps he turned around to face us. A smile was then formed on his slips, carved on his face.

"Son." He said, walking towards Harry with wide open arms.

"Dad?"
