Harry Styles Fanfiction - Remember Me?

Chapter 292

October 2021
**YOUR POV**
„So, I was thinking..." I said to Harry while we were walking hand in hand along the beach in Chicago, one of Harry's stops on tour. He just did two shows here and we decided to stay one more day to explore the city a little.

„You were thinking?" He looked at me with a loving smile.

„I was thinking of what we should do over the Christmas holidays this year?"

„Christmas? Christmas is three months away, we've still got lots of time to plan." He said with a chuckle.

„You know, we think that now, but tour ends in December and time passes so quickly it'll be Christmas in no time and then it gets harder and harder to plan because of our schedules." I told him, knowing us too well to know that if we didn't talk about it now, we would never until Christmas was here.

„Yeah, you're probably right." Harry eventually said. „Knowing you, you already got something in mind, haven't you?" He grinned at me.

„I do, actually." I nodded. „We could invite your mum, Gemma and Michal over to our house this Christmas. We've celebrated at Anne's last year, so I thought it would be nice for us to be the hosts for once."

„Sounds nice, yeah, why not?" He smiled. „We just have to let them know in time before my mum plans something at her house."

„I'll call her later." I said while we looked for a nice place at the beach to sit. „I swear, it doesn't matter in what city we are, sitting at the beach will always be one of my favorite things." I told Harry when we found a perfect, little place to watch the waves in the ocean.

Harry pulled me close to him, making me sit between his legs, my back against his chest.

„Yeah, it's like the perfect place to just relax." He said before placing a kiss on top of my head.

„It is." I leaned more into him. „By the way, I wanted to ask. Have you finally set an exact release date for your new album?" I asked him.

„I have, actually. It'll come out May 20th next year." He told me and I could tell by the sound of his voice that he was smiling.

„Yay! If you think about it, it's sooner than we think. It's only a few months away."

„Yeah, it's crazy. I can't wait." Harry said. „I need to make one change though. I mean, as long as you're okay with it."

„As long as I'm okay with it? Harry it's your album, do with it whatever you like." I said, turning around to face him.

„But for this, I have to ask for your permission." He said, making me frown.

„What do you mean?"

„I wanna add one song to the album that I really love. It's Matilda." He told me.

„Matilda? It's an amazing song, why do you need my permission?"

„So, you listen to it all the time, so you know what it's about, right?" He asked me.

„Yes, of course. It's heartbreaking but so beautiful at the same time. I feel like I can really connect with it. It's great that you wanna add it to the album. I think many people can relate."

„Exactly my thoughts." He nodded. „There's just one thing that I haven't told you about it."

„Well, what is it?" I wondered.

„The reason you connected to this song is probably because...Matilda...is you." He said, hesitating a little. „Please don't be mad, Y/n."

„What? Mad? I'm not mad, babe, just surprised." I smiled, seeing the worry in his eyes. „You really wrote Matilda about me?"

„Well, about you, but also for you." He told me. „Watching you and knowing you throughout my whole life...it was an inspiration and knowing that you haven't had the best family situation and didn't get what you deserved ever since you were a kid, I suddenly just wrote about it as the song just came to me and I couldn't stop. In a way I hoped it would maybe heal your heart in that particular place a little." Harry explained carefully.

I looked at him with a thankful expression, tilting my head as this was so incredibly sweet of him. „Haz, that's honestly probably the sweetest thing you've ever done for me. I had no idea listening to it." I told him, wrapping my arms around his body. „This means a lot to me, more than you think. Thank you, H." I kissed his pink lips after letting go of him.

„There's no need to thank me for something like this." He smiled softly. „I love you so much."

„Love you more." I smiled back. „And you really wanna put it on the album?"

„I do. If you're okay with it?"

„Of course I'm okay with it. It's your beautiful work, babe. Everyone should get to listen to it." I told him, cupping his soft cheek.

„Now you're just making me blush." He said sweetly.

I giggled. „It's just the truth."

„Thanks sweetheart." He kissed my cheek. „Hey, is it okay if we go back to the hotel? I woke up with a bit of a backache today." Harry admitted to me.

„You did?" I frowned, standing back up, so we could head back to our hotel.

„Yeah, I mean it's not bad, but would be nice to lay down for a while."

„Yeah sure baby, let's go back. Why didn't you say anything sooner?"

„Because it really isn't that bad." He assured me. „Probably just from last night, maybe a wrong move, I don't know."

„Okay then. Just be mindful with your back on stage." I worried.

„Always." He smiled cheekily at me as we walked back.

„And I'm making you walk all around the city here today." I sighed.

„Babe, don't you worry, I'm fine. I would have said something if I wasn't. It's not that big of a deal, really. Just the usual." He promised me when he reached for my hand and slid his in mine.

Back at the hotel, Harry went to lay down on the couch for a while, falling asleep not too long later. What made me realize just how tired he was from touring. He didn't have lots of time to rest though since we had to get to the airport soon to leave for the next city.
