It was now boxing day, but also the day that Anne and Robin were going on their honey moon to the Caribbean and Gemma was going to her boyfriends house in Essex and we're leaving back to Cheshire, leaving Harry here alone.

"Thank you all for a great Christmas and a brilliant wedding ceremony!" My dad thanks them as he carries our bags out to the car with the help of Ashton.

"It's been a pleasure having you all, and it was different and better having you all here for Christmas!" Anne smiled widely, she looked so happy which made me happy.

"You'll be okay going down on your own Ash?" I hug him tightly before he got into his car. He said he needed time to think and he was going to try and see the boys before he got back, so it was best for him.

"Yeah, don't you worry babe! Thanks everyone for a great week!" He waved to everyone, and then he left just like that.

After a small session of saying good bye and thanking each other for a brilliant dew days, it was time to leave the Styles/Twist household but something kept playing at my mind; the thought of Harry alone for over a week...

"Mum? Dad?" I begin to question before we drive away. "Can Harry come back with us?"

"Why lovely?" Mum frowned through the rear view mirror because she decided to drive back home.

"Because he will be alone and it would be cool to hang out again?" I explain, they both looked at each other and smiled.

"Sure, he could follow us down in his car when he's ready" Dad said beginning to role down his window to speak to a waving Anne.

"We just had the idea that Harry should come and stay with us while you're away, and Carly would like to hang out with him as well?" My parents carry on their conversation.

"Carly, do you want to go and ask him?" Anne nodded towards the house.

I jumped out of the car and made my way inside to find him. The house was huge, but I kind of had an idea where he was- in his room. I ran up the beige coloured carpet on the stairs, and walked straight towards his door. I knocked twice, and waited for answer. Nothing. I tried again but opened it instead, I found him laying on his tummy on the bed sobbing.

"Harry? What's happened?" I said in shock, running over to him.

"I didn't think I would see you for ages..." He opened one eye to look at me, out of no where I grabbed him and pulled him into my arms smiling.

"You're an idiot you know, my parents want to know if you want to stay at our house for the week and come up in your car?" I told him while resting my chin on the top of his head full of curls.

"Are you being serious?" He looked up, I just nodded.

...

In the end, I ended up going up in Harry's car because he took so long packing and saying bye to Anne, Gemma and Robin, because they were all going away too. When we finally got into Harry's range rover and began our journey, it took me straight back to the start of year 11 and the mad few months we had together.

"Can you remember that house party you and your friends went too?" Harry brought back up, he must of been thinking the same thing.

"Yes..." I groaned trying to forget about ending up with the Police.

"Those were the days man!" He smirked. "So what we we doing this week then?"

"Up to you? I do want to see my friends though, you can come too" I watched the road feeling the stare of Harry's emerald eyes piercing my skin, making my cheeks flush red.

"Gabs and Lauren, right?" He remembered.

"Right! And Calum, Luke, Michael and Ashton... Maybe not Ashton" I quickly mentioned, I don't think its best to turn up with Harry as soon as we broke up.

"Okay then babe" He opened his hand, giving me the signal to hold it.

"It's Friday today, so! Saturday we can meet them all, Sunday is definitely a lazy day of baking! Monday..." I looked at him for ideas.

"Shopping?" He suggested.

"I want to look in the sales because I'm cheap!" We both laugh and agree. "We should plan the rest as it comes..."

The ride home was full of traffic, but it was a great time to catch up and talk about the new happenings in each others lives. I found out that nearly all girls at the school he now teaches at fancy the shit out of him, and that I'm lucky to have his attention, and that he misses our school more because we were a funny bunch and much more creative.

It was around two by now, we were both extremely hungry and thirsty. Harry thought it would be best to stop at the service station at the side of the motorway, I totally agreed because they always had a Starbucks.

"What do you want then love?" I was fixed between all of the cooler drinks on the menu, I had no clue.

"What are you having?" I question, I would probably choose what ever he's having unless it's some weird shit, because you know what Harry's like.

"Iced caramel macchiato, it's a latte thing.." He looked at my confused face,

I knew what it was because I come in here every time I get the chance I just didn't know what to get today.

"I will have the same, it's the simplest option" I laughed as it was our turn to order.

It was actually a simple order because they came pretty quickly, but that's Starbucks for you, but the sudden paranoia hit me when Harry began to intertwine our fingers together.

What did everyone think of us?

I mean I was like 8 years younger than him, and I probably looked like his little sister more than a girlfriend.

"Harry? How old do I look?" I randomly ask, I mean it must be weird for him too?

"About 17 actually, why?" He frowned noticing me biting the end of my straw vigorously.

"I just, I don't know. People must think I'm your younger sister or something?" I explain.

"Well people shouldn't pre-judge us then, I mean you do look older than you are though? So probably not" He tried to comfort me, but I don't think it was helping the anxiety of this situation.

We finally got home at 17:29, but all the way home I was having doubts that Harry and I could never be properly together due to him being my ex teacher, a family friend but mainly the age gap.

"I'm just going to bed if that's okay? I'm shattered" I mention after talking to my parents about the journey.

"Are you ill from the car?" My parents ask, knowing that I suffer with car sickness but it wasn't that, that made me feel so down but I simply nodded.

"Night babe, you get some rest!" My mum calls up the stairs before walking back into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Night Carly" Is the last thing I heard before I closed my door to the confusing world.

...

I thought I would carry it on as I'm awesome;)

I love you all!!!
