So there we were. Meeting again after 3 long years. Didn't go exactly how pictured it would go down but does it ever? You might sit and wonder what happened Noa? You might feel confused. Well, i could just tell you but wouldn't that be boring? I think so. Instead let's just turn back the time to where I left you guys - the day of the break up.
[November 12th, 2013]
"Now, I need you to leave..." Harry's voice cracks, his words final. "This will be the last time you see me. I'm not trying to be cruel, but I just can't see you anymore. It hurts too much. We can't push this any longer. You should go..." his voice trails off.
My heart shatters into a million pieces, the pain almost unbearable.
"Harry..." I whisper, my voice choked with emotion.
But he doesn't look at me, doesn't acknowledge my pain. With a heavy heart, I gather my things and leave the bus, not daring to look back.
The world blurs around me as tears start to well up, each one a silent scream of the hurt I can't put into words. My mind's a mess, full of questions with no answers and memories that just make it worse.
I glance up at the sky, hoping for some kind of escape from all this chaos, maybe a UFO to swoop down and take me away. But reality hits when I spot the boys returning from their walk. I quickly wipe my tears away, trying to pull myself together.
As they get closer, I see they're crying too. The tension builds with every step until Niall speeds up and wraps me in a bear hug. We all know what's happening without saying a word.
"You're strong," Niall whispers, his words making me cry even more as he steps back to the others Liam turns away, Louis can barely look at me, and Zayn steps in for the next hug.
"Don't lose touch, okay? We need each other," Zayn says, his voice choked up. We hang on a bit longer, not wanting to let go. When we finally do, Louis steps up, giving me the next tight hug.
"We love you, and I'm here for you, no matter what," Louis murmurs, like he knows there's more going on then I'm telling. I nod, then notice Liam, still turned away.
"Liam?" I try, but he just shakes his head, refusing to say goodbye.
I cautiously go over and hug him from behind, not pushing him to talk. Then suddenly, I feel everyone elses arms around us, making it a big tight group hug. This little group of people have been the closest to a real family I've ever had.
Taking a deep breath, I manage to say, "I love you guys, and I'll never forget you. You've really changed my life,"
"And you've changed ours," Zayn says with a small smile.
With a heavy heart, I grab my suitcase and start making my way, avoiding the temptation to look back. I quickly call a taxi to take me to the airport, where Abi, Arlo, and Hagrid are waiting.
When I arrive, seeing them standing there triggers a fresh flood of tears. How do I explain to Arlo that I'm taking him away from the people he loves? I stumble out of the taxi, muttering a hasty thanks to the driver, trying to hide the tears in my voice.
Before I approach Arlo, I take a moment to compose myself, wiping away my tears and taking deep breaths. Then, I feel Arlo's arms wrap around my right leg, and I can't help but pull him into a tight hug. I look up at Abi, who's clearly holding back her own tears.
Standing up, I hug Abi tightly. "I'll call you as soon as I'm home," I promise, I feel her nod against my shoulder. "Try not to cry. We'll see each other again before you know it, and we'll talk every day. It'll feel like I never left," I say, forcing a smile through my own tears.
