Zoe's POV

"Em," I groaned, my little sister crying once more. I had just fed her from the bottle my mom prepared, changed her diaper, sang to her, basically fixed any possible thing to cry over but it won't cease. "Emily, please," I kissed her lightly on the forehead. My mom walked into the room, rubbing her eyes.

"I've got it, Zoe," She yawned. I handed my sister over to her, a frown on my face.

"I'm sorry mom, she just can't settle for me." I laughed, while she just gave me weak smile in return. She was exhausted, and unfortunately I was of basically no help. Emily didn't seem to like me, she would only calm down for my mother, which was taking an obvious toll on her. I felt my phone vibrate, pulling it out to see a text.

Hayley: Hey girl! So I just wanted to remind you that my wedding is in two days... are you coming? I'd really appreciate it if you did.

I sighed. I loved Hayley, and it was amazing news when I found out her and Louis were getting married. The only thing keeping me from going is Harry. I miss him so, so much, but I didn't know if I was ready to see him again. It's been a year since I saw him, his name never leaving my thoughts. He tried texting me everyday for the first month, but it hurt too much, and I ended up blocking his phone number. I had moved to a new apartment complex, still decently close to my school. Once I started classes, I had to quit my job at the cafe and I got a job working in the school store. I'm amazed I haven't ran into Harry at least once, but I'm sort of glad I haven't. Even though it did come out to the news that Kendall was a fraud, I couldn't bring myself to go back to him. Fans had sent me videos on Twitter of him crying at the shows, or running off stage. Apparently it became a regular thing, then their management decided they should take a one-year hiatus. Fans then started saying harsh things to me, because they viewed it as I was the bad guy. I got tired of it, deactivating my account, and all social media accounts. I tried my hardest to disappear, luckily only a small amount of students at my school recognizing me.

"Mom, would you be extremely upset if I left tonight?" I glanced at my phone again, knowing in my heart that I should go to this wedding.

"I mean, you're an adult, I can't stop you, can I?" Her words came across as harsh, making me sigh.

"Alright, well. I need to support my friend. She's getting married." I mumbled, texting Hayley and confirming my attendance.

"Oh really? Harry's gonna be there, won't he?" She smirked.

"I dunno, probably," I sighed, second-guessing my decision. Emily had finally stopped crying, my mother laying her gently in the crib and pulling me out of the room. She led me to the couch in the living room, turning to face me.

"Look, honey. I know you're scared to see Harry again, I know you're scared of getting hurt. But what happened? Wasn't his fault. He was just as innocent as you were. And you definitely can't avoid him, he's your soulmate and you're destined to be together. Why fight it? He obviously loves you, Zoe. You saw all the articles and videos, he was devastated after you left and I'm sure he looks for you everywhere he goes, because he misses you just as bad. You punished him for something he didn't want to happen either. You need to fix it." My mothers words sank in, guilt overwhelming me. "Besides, I want grandbabies," She added, laughing.

"You're right, mom. God, I'm so dumb," I hid my face in my hands, tears slipping out. I had to go back. I had to find Harry, and find a way to fix everything. Hell, I destroyed all of my friendships just trying to hide from him. I've made the biggest mistake of my life, and it took me a year to figure that out.

"Go pack your bags, honey. I'll buy your ticket." She smiled, rubbing my back.

"Thanks mom. I love you," I weakly smiled back, pulling her into a tight hug. I then ran upstairs, packing my bags as quickly as I could. I needed to get Harry back.
