Harry's POV

I stumbled as I walked around my room which was filled with bags, packing last-minute necessities. I was so absorbed in packing that I didn't hear the door open, which means I almost got a heart attack when my friend Zoe snuck up on me

"Hey Harry"

"GAAAAAHH" I jumped, and fell into the open suitcase in front of me "Zoe" I grumbled and threw the toothbrush that was in my hand at her "Heyy someone's grumpy today" She laughed, getting into the suitcase with me. "What's wrong?" she put an arm around me

I smiled and leaned into her embrace. It's normal for us to just sit in a suitcase together, even though its the most random thing ever. It's nice to have a friend that would do anything for you, and vice versa. That's Zoe, my absolute best friend who would be willing to do the craziest stuff with me. Like this one time I climbed a tree and got stuck in it, so instead of getting help, she climbed up too and convinced me to throw apples from the tree at people passing underneath.

This other time I was bored because Gemma had gone on a overnight camping trip with her friends, we had both snuck into her room and played dress-up with her clothes and make-up. Once, we stalked my drama teacher and caught him cheating on his wife at a pub. She is my comfort person, who I can tell anything and rely on for half-assed advice.

"I don't wanna leave" I pouted "I mean sure I'm excited, I'm going to make great friends, there'll be a lot of new experiences" I say, spreading out my hands in front of me "And a whole lotta textbooks" She adds, making me laugh and punch her arm. "But I'm gonna miss everything here, this is like, where I belong, this is my home and now I'm leaving it all behind and stepping into unknown territory, I'm jumping in headfirst into the darkness of the unknown. I don't know anything about London, and its such a big city it's intimidating. So many things could go wrong, and I won't have you, or mum, or Gems there to comfort me and guide me through it all. I'm leaving you behind, and mum, and Gems, and Dusty and Barbara. I'm leaving my whole life behind and starting a new one without you in it and that scares me shitless. I'm gonna be on my own"

"You're very poetic today"

"Really? That's all your gonna say? I literally poured my heart out to you and that's all I get? 'You're very poetic today'" I said, outraged and she simply laughed

"I don't think you get it, so many things could go wrong. I could get a disgusting roommate that wipes his booger everywhere or some creep that's trying to get in my pants, my dorm could be the worst in the building with paint falling off the walls, a broken shower and bugs everywhere. The food could taste like cow shit, I could be lonely and not make any friends at all, I could fail all my classes, I cou-"

"You're not helping yourself" She interrupted me. "Yeah, sure, all those things could happen, but you could also get an amazing roommate who you can mess around with like you do with me, you could make friends that will last a lifetime, you could get a really nice dorm with a comfortable bed and big TV, you will definitely not fail any of your classes, you're a smartass, and who knows, maybe you'll find a hot guy willing to shove his dick up your ass."

"What the fuck Zoe" I laughed and kicked her "And I'll find myself a girl with really big boobies at my uni" She said, wiggling her chest "Ew get away from me" I shuffled away from her, but she pulled me into a really uncomfortable hug "Look, what I'm trying to say is, you'll have a great time, don't worry about it"


"Are you scared?" I asked her after a while "Huh?"

"Are you scared about going to uni?" I asked " I mean yeah, I guess. I have my aunt there, the one I get along with really well, so if I need someone, or someplace to go to I always have her, which makes it a little bit better I guess. I'm worried if the people at uni are gonna like me or not, like I don't wanna be the outcast. I wanna feel like I belong there, ya know? I want good friends there, I want my own group of people, people that get me." "I get it" I say, laying my head of her shoulder

"I actually found my new roommate on Facebook" She said, taking out her phone "Oh" I sat up straighter in interest. "What's she like?" I asked "She's super nice and really pretty too. Pretty awesome" "She can't be better that me, can she?"  "Of course not" She scoffed "Well maybe"

"She is really pretty" I said as her Facebook profile loaded "I know right" Zoe said as we scrolled through her profile. She stopped at a picture of her with her boyfriend "Hey maybe he'd like to shove his dick up your ass"

"No. Definitely not my type" I said. "What is your type then?"

"Someone with a nice smile, and someone with who you can have a good laugh" I reply and she hums

"Guys we're leaving in ten min-" Gemma opens the door but stops mid-sentence "What are you guys doing in the suit- you know what I'm not even gonna ask" she says and closes the door again

I smiled and we got out of the suitcase, grabbing the things on the floor and bed, and putting them in the suitcase. Zoe handed me the toothbrush that I threw at her and I smiled in thanks before closing my toiletries bag and zipping up my suitcase.

We took the bags down to where Gemma and mum were waiting.

We all loaded the bags into the trunk of the car, then when I turned around I was enveloped in a hug by mum, Gemma and Zoe and I stayed there, cherishing the feeling of being in the arms of my three most favorite people in the world.

Everyone pulled away and Gemma hugged me again.

She wrapped me up in one of her big sister hugs " I know going to uni for the first time can be scary, but trust me you'll have the most fun in your entire life at uni. You know you always have me if you wanna talk about anything, right?" I nodded. "I love you baby bro" "I love you too"

I then moved to Zoe "Best for last" I said as I wrapped her up in a hug "I'm going to miss you and your clumsy ass so much" She said "We always have facetime" I say "Not as good as the real thing" She said. We stood there in comfortable silence, not wanting to let go.

"I read this in a book, it said 'if you ever feel alone, look up to the sky, look up to the stars and moon, and know that no matter how far apart we are, we always look up to the same sky.'"

"Look who's poetic now" I laughed "That was very cliche wasn't it?" She laughed and I laughed along, nodding. 

Me and mum got in the car ________________________________________________________________________________
