Hariana Imagines

There Came A Time

A/N: The photo is what Frankie texts Harry when he tells him that they'll be staying in California longer than expected and to not contact Ariana to give her time to mentally and physically stabilize herself. (Frankie is blue, Harry is grey) The photo is not mine, it is an edit of harianastan. (Don't know on what social media form but credit to them because I found it on google.) Listen to Ending by Isak Danielson because that's what inspired the new title for this 3 part series :).

"You can't leave.." Harry's voice cracked as he tried to control his sobs from crying.

"Harry." My eyes watered at the sight of him breaking down like this.

"It'll be temporarily. I already told my mom that I would have to come back sometime. She agreed and promised me that I would come back."

"Why are you even leaving?" He wiped his tears, reaching to hold my hands in his quivering ones.

"I have to go see my dad in America. I haven't seen him in years, and I really miss him." I look down to my shoes, feeling guilty for having to leave so suddenly.

"Will you miss me?" His sad eyes met mine, and I couldn't help but feel a tug at my heart at how bad it was hitting him.

"Of course I will, but don't be sad, I'll come back eventually." I tried to convince him, or more so myself, since my dad has been talking about how he wanted me to stay there. I haven't made an actual decision yet, despite wanting to spend more time with him, Harry was one of the main reasons it was so hard to make one.

"Promise me you won't forget about me." I shook my head at how dramatic he was being, letting out a small laugh that he turned even more grumpy at.

"I promise." We interlocked pinkies and he slightly smiled as he looked at me again, leaning in for a final kiss before I had to leave. I squeezed my eyes shut, knowing this could be the last time I would see him for years. I could feel a stray tear fall, quickly going to wipe it before he noticed. I never had the heart to tell him, and it was really getting to me right now.

He then wrapped his arms around me and enveloped me in a hug, as I securely held his waist. He laid his chin on my head, just how he usually would and I knew I'd miss his touch like this.

"Ariana?"

"Yea?"

"I love you."

I blinked a few times, this was the first time he had said that and I was surprised to hear the words come from him.

We knew each other since we were four, when him and his family moved  in the house next to us. Now we were both 14, and we already had very strong feelings for each other. It took a lot out of us to finally admit our feelings to each other, and I still get shy around him at times because of how much affection he gives me. I secretly love it, no matter how red I get and try hiding myself from him at times.

He looked down at me when I still haven't said anything.

"I love you too." I smiled, feeling his arms hug me more tightly. I really did, so this was going to be the hardest thing I'd have to do.

5 years later

Ariana got in a bad accident when she was out one day with her father. Her and her father were driving around one Saturday night after going to eat, and they were just getting back home, but they were never able to make it home safely.

"That man is driving like a mad man." My dad agreed, not taking his eyes off the road.

I played with the necklace that Harry had given me before I left, like a gift to remember him. Although, how could I ever forget about him? He meant everything to me.
