'Oh don't you say, goodbye.
Don't you say, goodbye.
I'll pick up these broken pieces till I'm bleeding, if that don't make it right.
Cause there'll be no sunlight, if I lose you baby.
And there'll be no clear skies, if I lose you baby.
And just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same,
if you walk away,
every day it'll rain, rain, rain.'

-It Will Rain. Bruno Mars. 2011.

It now November 15th, and Lucy, Harry, Jared, and I were all on our way to the airport. Though I was a bit nervous since it was an odd number day.

It's been just about two weeks since my birthday and two weeks since Harry asked me to go to London with him and Lucy.

A bit confused on why he wanted me to go, we did talk about it for a bit, but he wouldn't tell me why he wanted me to go. So we ended up on an agreement that Jared and I would fly out with them to London for the winter festival.

Lucy and Jared were excited. They thought it would be great for all of us to be able to bond and hang out. And although Harry and I were both putting on a brave face, the tension between us was still there and awkward.

We didn't really speak about the night of my birthday. Or the present he gave me. It seemed liked a subject we just weren't ever going to discuss.

We had a moment. I was in his lap. We almost kissed.
Why would we talk about that again?

Jared and I had spent the last week getting everything in order for work and packing and it felt like this day just came so soon.

We had gotten off our ferry and quickly got into the Uber that began to take us to the airport. We had put in a stop to Starbucks to grab some drinks before we got to the overpriced airport, which I was thankful for. I was beyond exhausted right now.

Once we stopped at the Starbucks, we decided it'd be better if we went through the drive thru to save time.

It quick because within five minutes, we were at the window paying. Jared had offered to pay for the car, including the driver, just to make it easy. He also was very vocal about thanking Harry for inviting him and I to London. Although we were going on our own anyways, Jared was just happy to be included.

We had finally gotten our drinks and sandwiches after a few minutes of waiting and were now back on the road. The four of us laughed throughout our conversation and thankfully, for the first time in awhile, the tension between Harry and I wasn't terrible.

As we were driving towards the airport, the driver suddenly braked, causing all of us to be flung forward, making our seatbelts catch us.

Harry's cup then spilled all over him. Harry had finished most of his drink, but the ice hadn't melted yet and it was now all over his lap.

"I am so sorry sir!" Our Uber driver quickly said.

"There was a person who-"

"No worries," Harry said cutting him off. Harry shot him a smile as his hands were in the air.

"Stuff happens. It's alright," he said now looking back down at his shirt. The Uber driver seemed a bit more relaxed but you could tell he still felt guilty.

"Harry, it's freezing out there. You should change your shirt," Lucy said while trying to dry his pants.

"I don't have an extra shirt on me," he said drying his hands with the napkins he had.
