"I'm not leaving you ever again. I can't imagine my life without you in it, not anymore."
"Neither can I, Harry, neither can I. This time, it will all be fine. This time, we'll be alright."
"We'll be alright."

Isabella's POV:-
This is the day that the whole of my family has been waiting for. Today, 3rd of February, 2015, my cousin Nicole is getting married to the love of her life, Dave.
Nicole met Dave 7 years ago while both of them were pursuing a degree in archeology from the Oxford University. And since then, they have been inseparable. They share a two-year-old son, Alex, together. And today finally, they are going to be an officially married couple. I'm so happy for them.
"That might be us in a few years time." Someone whispers quietly in my ears from behind me while Nicole and Dave were exchanging their vows, and I don't have to turn around to know who it is. The familiar scent of vanilla hits my nose. It's Harry. My Harry.
His statement spreads a warm sensation throughout my body. In response, I lean into him and lay my head back on his shoulder, while he wraps his arms around my waist protectively. "Just imagine, Issie, you, me, and our children. A perfect family."
I smile and say, "You're getting my hopes higher, Styles."
"That's because I mean it, Foster. I see only you as my partner in the long run."
I lean into him more, if possible. This man really has a way with words.
"I miss them, you know. I miss Mum and Dad," I say absentmindedly, "I have everything, and I wouldn't change this for anything. But still somewhere, I feel incomplete. I miss my parents."
Harry tightens his arms around my waist, "I know, darling. I know. I miss your parents too. Maybe not as much as you do, but I do miss them. They treated me like their own son."
"I know you miss them too, H. They loved you and trusted you so much that at times I used to doubt who's their real child," I laugh, "They were happy about us. They were so happy that I'm with you."
"They are watching over us from above, Issie. I know they still trust me with you and your heart. And I promise you, I will never fail them. I promise you, that I am your forever, just like you're mine. And I won't let you go."
He promised he won't let me go. He promised that he would be my forever.
He broke it. He broke all of it. He failed my parents.
Yet, I can't bring myself to hold any grudge against him. Yet, I can't stop myself from getting lost in his forever green eyes. The green eyes that were once my safety, my home.
He saw me before I saw him. I have no fucking idea about how long he's been staring at me like that.
