"Come on, Josh or we'll miss the fireworks!" aimee quickly grabbed Josh's hand and took him out to the car. i grabbed a jacket for Josh and hugged Nan goodbye.

"Have fun!" Nan waved as i closed the door and jogged over to the car. Aimee had already buckled Josh up in the back seat and was sat in the drivers seat herself.

i am so excited for this. in about 3 hours its gonna be 2014. I'm gonna make this the best year of my life. I'll graduated and then i can do whatever i want with my life. Forget about the past and just move on.

"WE'RE FINALLY GONNA SEE THE STARS POPPING IN THE SKY!!" I shrieked as i buckled myself up in the passenger seat, raising my hands causing Josh to let out  a little shriek aswell. I could see how excited he was. This is the first time he's seeing fireworks live. last year he just saw them on tv with nan.

-

Josh was the first one to hop out of the car. I had to old him back from running away and having a car go over him. We made our way over to the huge crowd. There were so many people! 

Aimee quickly grabbed josh's hand so i didn't have to worry about him getting lost. Aimee was quite responsible. I quickly followed behind them, squeezing myself through the wild crowd, it was hard to keep up with them.

 i finally caught up with them. i looked around the crowd with a smile one my face. it was so amazing. the crowd cheering and all. Any minute now, it will be new year. 

But then i saw that person, who i thought i would never ever see in my life ever again. My smile soon faded, i could feel the blood drain from my face. suddenly i felt dizzy and the screams were now ringing in my ear, making it uncomfortable to stand there and all of a sudden i felt claustrophobic.

I cant believe it was him. Why was he here? so many question went through my mind, i couldn't think straight. He had grown a lot, but i knew it was him. His smile, his eyes, his hair. They were same as they were 14 years ago.

My friend. My best friend who left me in this cruel world. Harry Styles.

My eyes were fixed on him. I couldn't move, I wanted to just drop to my knees and cry. I was finally forgetting about him, and then he just shows up.  He was with a few friends. Four of them. They were all laughing, he had the biggest grin on his face, like he didn't have any problems in his life and was just having fun. Unlike what i had gone through.

 And then something happened i was afraid would happen. He looked straight back in my eyes. His smile soon faded and we made eye contact for a split second before i used all my strength to look away. 

I quickly pushed through the crowd and got to the front. I blinked furiously to stop the tears from escaping. Why was he here? He really had to come, and bring back all the terrible memories. Not that i was already dreaming about them. Just seeing his face, made the memories even more painful. I suddenly didn't feel like watching the fireworks. I'd rather watch them on tv with nan then here, being in the same place as Harry. 

"I dont feel so good, i think im gonna head home." I shouted through the loud noise in Aimee's ear. i think that was something really stupid to say, because she knitted her eyebrows together and pulled on my arm. 

"Don't be silly! you were looking really forward to it, we're not leaving until we see them!" She held my hand in one of her's and Josh's hand in the other. 

The countdown finally began. From 20.

19.

I looked back and saw Harry, to my left a little further away, looking straight at me. He had suddenly forgotten about his friends, If i didn't know him, it would've been really creepy. His eyes were red, but he wasn't crying and a totally serious face on. He's recognized me. oh shit. I quickly looked back, and put on a fake smile and joined in the countdown.

17

I couldn't concentrate. Now a new year totally ruined. Because of him. I just hope we never meet again, And he never gets a chance to talk to me.

Why does this always happen to me? Why cant i just live a normal life, without any stress or any problems?

I looked back, but he wasn't there anymore. I could see the people he was with all having fun. There was a blond one, two brunettes and a dude with black hair. But no sign of Harry.

Wait. Why do i care. He's gone. Thank God. 

10.

i looked down at Josh. He was smiling from ear to ear, jumping around, looking up at the sky. Any second now, his mouth would make an "O" shape, his eyes would bulge out and he would looked back at me and point at the fireworks and say "Emily, aren't they so pretty!!" i could just imagine it.

Josh reminded me of Harry in a way. He had the same smile as him, a small dimple at the corner of his smile. He had light brown hair but they were straight as Harry's were curly. He also had green eyes just like Harry. It made it even harder for me to forget about him since they both looked so much alike. A part of my heart would still break when i would look at Josh's precious face because he would remind me of him. But i wouldn't ever let josh know that his face brings me pain, he would break. And i would never want him to face any pain.

The crowd went wild. I think Josh's loud screams were the most noticeable. I could help but laugh at how happy he got when he saw the fireworks. Just like how i had imagined his reaction. He looked back at me and pulled on my sleeve.

"Emily, do you see them, do you see them?! Aren't they amazing!!" He jumped around, his hair bouncing on his forehead. His eyes quickly went back to the fireworks, not wanting to miss a single second of it. It's amazing to have a little brother like Josh. He's been my only company most of these years, and seeing him this happy for the first time really warmed my heart.

 -

"Did you see how they went up in the sky like a fountain?!" Josh couldn't get over the whole thing. The whole ride back he kept talking about it. He was so fascinated. Me and Aimee both smiled at him. We were now on our way to an ice-cream parlour near our house. 

 Aimee locked the car and opened the shop door for Josh to go in first. He ran over to the ice-cream selection place, but bumped into a really tall person and fell back. I was going to run over to him before i realized who it was. Harry. Great. Just perfect. He looked down at Josh and helped him back up. He sat down on one of his knee's, held Josh's hand and asked him "Are you okay?" really politely. Josh just nodded his head and went back to the selection place and was mesmerized by the variety of ice-cream.

Harry didnt realize Josh was with me. He also went back to paying for his cup of chocolate ice-cream. 

"Is that-" Aimee say but i put my hand on her mouth. I think she realized who it is. I've told Aimee everything about Harry. She thinks he's a total dick head and since then she has been so protective of me and so am i for her. Aimee's face was already red, she has temper issues. If i didn't hold her back she would've gone straight ahead and kicked him in the balls.

"Get Josh. We're leaving" i whispered in her ear and ran back to the car.

We all got buckled up and drove off. "Why didn't we get any ice-cream?" Josh asked with curiosity and confusion all over his face. But neither one of us answered. Josh's eyes trailed from me to Aimee, but after a minute he just dropped the topic.

why do we keep bumping into each other? its really getting annoying now. And now that i know Harry's here in london, it makes me scared, that one day we're gonna meet and we have to talk. From the years i have spent with harry, i realized he will do anything to convince you to something. He will literally do anything so i can accept his apology. But right now, i dont expect him to apologies. Because a piece of my heart says its my fault as well.
