"Sometimes you have to be apart from the people you love, but that doesn't mean you love them any less. Sometimes it makes you love them more."

Audrey's POV

The last month has probably been the best in my life. I have never been so happy. I'm living in my dream city with my best friend. I have an amazing boyfriend and four new best friends. My life is pretty great right now

Harry and I went on our first date, and I couldn't be any happier with him. We just sit and talk, which is what I want. He is so sweet and just cares so much about me. He's very protective over me. It's very cute, and might I add a turn on

My phone beeps off, waking me up from my sleep. I open my eyes and I see Harry sleeping soundly in front of me. I smile and my phone goes off again, causing Harry to groan and roll over to the opposite side. I laugh as I reach for my phone and unlock it, reading a text from Zoe:

Good morning sleepyhead! I was just letting you know that Lou took me out for breakfast. I have no idea when we'll get back, have fun with Harry! xo

I laugh and send her a message saying okay. I'm sure she's not worried. I get up quietly out of bed, shutting the door almost all the way, leaving it open a little

I walk past the living room and into the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. I put the tea bag in the pot of water and I turn on the stove. Letting the kettle heat up. I walk over to the radio in the living room, turning on the radio on a station, turning it low enough only for me to hear

I sigh and sit on one of the island bar stools, running my hands through my hair

The kettle starts letting out steam and I get up to walk over to the stove to turn it off. I pour the tea into my mug and I pick up the mug and take a long sip, letting the hot liquid fill my body with warmth. My phone starts ringing and I pick it up seeing that it's my aunt

"Hi Audrey! How are things back home?" She says and I can hear club music in the background

"We're fine Molly. When are you coming back?" I ask just as Harry comes out from the bedroom, walking over to me

"Yeah... About that." She trails off and I tap my hands on the counter with impatience

"You aren't coming back, why?" I say, feeling a little insecure

"The girls decided to take me to a bar... Me not thinking thought that it was down the street, but we went to Florida for a girls weekend." She slurs half those words

"I don't understand. You're staying in Florida, meaning you aren't coming back?" I say and the frown on my face doesn't turn up

"I guess so. I will be back, but not for a while. Maybe two weeks? I'm just having so much fun!" Molly screams and I start to get worried

"Molls, your drunk. You need to come home." I say sadly, looking at Harry

"I'm sorry, but no. You know what, I'm not sorry! You can learn to deal with things on your own." She says angrily, yelling a bunch of cuss words at me along with it

"Look, until you can learn to treat people with more respect I'm not talking to you." I say and pull my phone away

"Wait!" She pleads, I put my phone up to my ear

"What?" I question, not wanting to hear anything else from her

"I love you. I'm sorry, I truly am." Her voice softens and I hear the music faintly now

"Are you really?"

"I am. Look, I know that I haven't been the aunt that I should. But I want you to know that I love you very much and I will always be there to protect you and Zoe." She states in a sad voice and I start to tear up
