Oblivion (Harry Styles)

Chapter 17

Many celebrations were held the day we graduated, but that didn't stop me from getting up Sunday morning and going to the airport. "Write, call, text, whatever," Anna hugs me.

"I will. Promise."

"Bye Eden," Chase says. I lean in, giving him a hug. I did the same with Logan. We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. I turned around one last time.

"Come visit me one day!" I call.

"We will," Anna smiles. I dragged my suit case behind me, and had the box of my things in my hand. I was ready to go home.

•

"Excuse me," someone shook.

"Hmm?"

"The flight has landed," the lady smiles.

"Oh thanks," I sit up and grab my stuff, getting off the plane. Excited and nervous bubbles erupted in my stomach. I had told Harry the day of my arrival as soon as I found out when I was graduating.

He promised to be here, but that was a long time ago.

I walked to the pick up area, looking over the crowds of people. I wasn't overly surprised, when I didn't see him there. Sighing, I lugged my stuff out of the airport and went to find a bus to take me home.

As I was walking down the street, I stopped in my tracks.

In front of me stood a tall figure. His eyes were focused on the meter, where he was parking his car. He was wearing a flannel and very tight skinny jeans. His hair was long, really long. He looked a lot older. "Harry," I breathe. Harry looked up at the voice, his eyes glinting with happiness, when he saw me.

"Eden." He grins. I dropped my stuff and ran into his arms. He laughed, when my body crashed into his. His grip was strong, as we hugged each other. I let out this throaty cry, not believing we were together again, and he was right in front of me. "You weren't supposed to land for another twenty minutes. What are you doing out so early?"

He remembered.

"Never mind that," I laugh. "Your here!!"

"I'm here," he smiles.

"Look at your hair. It's so long." I put my fingers through his shaggy, long hair.

"I thought I'd grow it out a bit. Do you like it?" He asks.

"I love it," I smile.

"You still have it," he nods to his necklace around my neck.

"I've never taken it off," I tell him. There's a glint of something in his eyes, but I can't identify it.

"We should go," he sighs. "Let me help you." He takes my suitcase and my box of things. I get into the passenger seat of his car. Harry takes a seat in the drivers place, starting the car. "So, tell me about everything. How was America?"

"Amazing. I'm so sorry I never called you. I had gone to a party, and my phone was knocked into the pool. The phone store said I had to change my number, since it wasn't registered there. I know I could've tried to reach you. I could've tried harder. I'm sorry," I ramble.

"Babe," he breathes, "it's fine. You're here now. Everything is okay. How was graduation?"

"Great. I spent it with my friends, but I was ready to come home. I missed you a lot."

"I missed you too," he smiles lightly.

"How about you? What have you been up to?"

"Well, I got promoted. I've been hanging out with Louis and Niall again. God save them both," he laughs.

"Oh yeah. How's Carly? Does she still work with you," I scrunch up my nose. His hands tap anxiously on the steering wheel. I furrow my eyebrows.

"Um yeah," he nods, running his fingers through his hair.

"What?" I ask suspiciously. Harry bites his lip, looking ahead. "Harry?" I ask. "What is it?"

"You know," he begins, but stops. "You know how I told you, when you left about things changing?"

"Yeah. I recall that."

"You know I care for you Eden, right?"

"Of course. Harry, you are scaring me."

"No, there's nothing to worry about. I just have something I need to tell you."

"Okay. Then tell me." He looks like he may throw up at any second. I may, too if he doesn't tell me.

"I'm getting married," he takes a breath, "to Carly."

"You what?!" I scream.

"I'm getting married-"

"No I heard you the first time. Are you out of your mind? She lied to you and cheated on you and I just can't believe you are back with her," I spit.

"I know you're upset that we didn't work out, but you don't have to be an ass about who I moved on to."

"Moved on to? You've taken a billion steps back! What happens, if she cheats on you again? You'll be stuck with her, or have to go through a divorce."

"She's changed," he shakes his head. I look at him in disbelief.

"Yeah," I sigh, "and so have you."
