Our Winter Love (Harry AU)

Chapter 42: Our Friends Reunion

"Bella, are you okay?" His voice echoes through my mind as he asks me for the third time. I can't take my eyes away from his.

I notice Harry's hands places on my arms, holding me up, keeping me stable. I look down to where his hands are on my skin and feel a thrill run through my body.

"I haven't been called Bella in 5 years." I state calmly, trying not to breakdown in front of him.

Harry remains still and looks down at me, his eyes also fixed on mine.

Suddenly I'm brought out of the trance I was in and realization hits as hurt takes over my entire being. I know if I stand here any longer I might explode. I have to get away fast.

"I have to go." I step back away from Harry and with all my power I walk away, back in the direction of the RV.

I hear him call my name but I choose to ignore it as I put my earphones back in and increase the volume. I begin to jog again and then run a bit faster until eventually I'm sprinting towards the RV. Only once I near the campsite and slow down do I realize that tears are pouring out my eyes as I sob.

My parents don't even notice that I return to our campsite so I decide to head to the bathroom before they see me.

I keep walking in the direction of the bathroom as I try wipe away the tears and regain my control.

"Izzy?" I hear a familiar voice call out.

I turn around to see my brother walking towards me looking very concerned.

"Are you alright?" He asks as he reaches me.

"I'm fine. Just a lot of emotions right now." I try fake a smile.

"You don't look fine." He states sarcastically.

I fake a laugh and wipe my eyes again, "I'll be fine. Don't worry about me."

He nods slowly,"Well, you're going to have to shower up and get ready, because we are going to dinner at the lake house tonight for the 100th Anniversary party."

"Is that tonight?"

"Yeah, everyone's going." He smiles and nods.

Everyone? That probably includes Harry. How am I going to get out of this?

"Okay.Thanks Will." I smile and nod.

"Do you want me to get your stuff from your room so mom and dad don't see you like this?" He asks kindly.

"Yes please." I reply, being so thankful for my thoughtful brother.

He nods before walking back to the RV and after a few minutes returns with my bag of clothing and toiletries. I thank him before heading to the bathroom and climbing in the shower.

As the warm water runs down my back, I close my eyes and try take a deep breath to calm myself down.

I know Harry's going to be there tonight. I don't know how to feel about that.

I think what scares me the most is if he's moved on, who he's here with and most of all if he still loves me.

Harry's POV

"Baby, should I wear my red dress or black one?" Melanie asks from inside our tent.

"Whatever you'd like." I reply solemnly as I sit on a rock outside our tent in my suit.

"Which one do I look skinnier in?" She groans.

"You look beautiful in both." I reply again.

My mind has been going crazy since I saw Bella. I can't stop thinking about her,not that I ever really did. But seeing her here again? Its a funny feeling, it's like we never left. Except we did, I did, and we haven't seen each other for 5 years.
