A Moment Like This - Harry Styles Love Story.*ON PERMANENT HIATUS*

~26~

(i was listening to summer love during the first part. i think you can tell.)

~Allison Edwards~

i bit my lip, trying really hard not to cry. i shoved my hairdryer into my bag, folding my bathrobe neatly to stick that in too. it was the day we all seperated; well, except for louis, el and i. we were heading back to minnesota, and eveyone else was heading back to the UK. i felt and arm wrap around my waist.

"i'm gonna miss you." harry whispered, his breath fluttering over my hair. i smiled slightly.

"the feeling's mutual." i set another shirt into the bag. "but i'm only going to be gone for five days. then i'll be moving in with you."

"i dont knwo if we can wait that long."

"well, i do have to have time to pack the rest of my stuff. and finish getting my green card." i said, remembering that i had to meet with the official that said i could live in the UK permanently if i so wished. But the one problem with leaving...

was saying goodbye.

"i'll call, i promise. i'll call you all." harry chuckled.

"dont promise that, you're going to be so busy." i gave a few chuckles. "whats so funny?"

"nothing. i just think its so funny how we're going to be apart for not even a week and we're saying goodbye like we're never going to see eachother again."

"god forbid." he murmured into my hair, placing a gently kiss to my crown. i zipped my suitcase.

"well, thats that!" i said, satisfied with my suitcase's size. the boys were taking most of my stuff back with them, but i was taking my favorite stuff.i went to head into the kitchen, but harry caught my wrist, tugging me back to him. wrapping his arm around my lower back, pulling me to him. he tipped my chin up towards him, his emerald eyes holding me captive.

"be careful around your brother, okay? dont let him get to you." i nodded dumbly. he gently leaned down to me, gently pecking my cheek. goosebumps formed as his hot breath washed over my skin.

"be careful." a bit now coherent now, i wrapped my arms around him tightly, which he reciprocated.

"thank you."

"for what?"

"everything." i murmured. his hold tightened. i closed my eyes gently, inhaling. it was just another moment where i fell a little farther into love. a moment that took my breath away.

"ALLI! WE HAVE TO GO!" Louis shouted, barging in, and then spinning around with his hands over his eyes.

"every time..." he looke back at us. "just get together already!" my face turned the color of a cherry, and from a quick glance up at harry i knew that he felt as embarassed as i did. he released me from his hold, only to wrap an arm around my shoulders. harry looked intensly into louis' eyes.

"take care of her for me." he nodded.

"of course."

"i dont need to be taken care of, harry." i grumbled. he grinned down at me.

"well, you never know. someone might just eat you up, creampuff." my face burned a deeper shade of red. we werent a couple, but we definatly acted like it. i grabbed my bag from the bed.

"are we leaving?"

"yeah. el's ready." i nodded,squeezing harry's hand.

"bye, hazza."

"bye, alli."louis took my hand and pulled me out of the bus. i hugged the other boys, niall the tightest of all. i still felt bad about putting him in the hotseat with harry.something he sensed.

"its okay, sweetheart. its not that big a deal."

"i shouldnt have asked you to cover me like that. i'm sorry." i squeezed him tightly.

"hang on there, iron woman. dont strangle the irishman!" we'd taken a plane to chicago, and my parents were picking us up there. then we were having a road trip, and i would be hard core packing. there was a honk.

"c'mon." louis said, tugging me over. i tossed my bag into the trunk and yanked open my door, climbing into the truck. my parents were grinning in the front seat.

"hey, famous girl! come on, lets get you back home!" my mom said, bouncing up and down in her seat.

"hey mom. how long is this car ride going to be?" i asked, strapping myself in next to eleanor.

"five hours. oh, come on, it wont be that long." she added, seeing my face. i groaned.

"yes it will, what with the mushy couple next to me."

"hey, i we arent that mushy!" said louis from the other side of eleanor. i slammed my door shut, louis doing the same, and making sure eleanor was buckled in.

"sure, sure."

"well, then there's you and harry." louis teased. my cheeks burned white hot.

"h-harry and i arent a couple, louis." i stammered. my dad jabbed his key into the ignition.

"wave bye to the boys, sweetheart." i nodded glumly. when i looked out my window, only harry stood there. a gave him a sad smile, and a small wave. he made a heart with his hands.

"miss you." he mouthed. my blush increased.

"miss you too." i mouthed back as we pulled away. maybe el was right, maybe harry DID like me. the thought captured my attention, helping me spend the long car ride home.

we left the bus in chicago, leaving a peice of my heart behind.

~five hours later~

"MOM!" i shouted as my mom continued to talk about all of my most embarassing stories; in front of louis.

"alli, it was cute-"

"MOM!" louis was crying with laughter, and eleanor was slumped against my shoulder, sleeping. i put my head in my hands, exasperated as my mom continued to talk, until my dad gave a deep chuckle.

"Jules, i think your embarassing the poor girl." he said, and my mom pouted.

"Aww, Rich, its all in good-"

"Fun, I know. I know." I sighed, leaning against the window as we entered the familiar skyscrapers of Minneapolis. I smiled, happy to be home. But now. After being exposed to so much, the familiarity felt almost alien.

"so, alli, I answered the door yesterday, and Geneva was outside." I grinned, Geneva was one of my dearest friends.

"and?''

"and, she wants you to go to prom." I froze. Go back to Warton high school, where it was rumored everyone besides my closest freinds hated my guts? Where Brennan was?

"I-I don't know about that. The rumors have apparently gotten pretty bad..."

"I mentioned to her that you were brining some freinds along. They're welcome to come as well. Les already sent in your dresses." I squealed.

"did she really?"

"along with accessories from mickale." we (we being el my mom, and i) all started giggling.

"so, if you want to, you can take these knuckleheads with you to your senior prom." I grinned at the thought of Louis and el going to my prom. Although, my heart somewhat sank when I realized that I would be unable to take Harry to the dance. Eleanor leaned into my ear.

"I know you want harry to be there," 

she was right.
