The next morning I rolled over in bed feelina soft firm body wrapped around me sound asleep. Harry. He looked like an angel. Running my hand through his hair. His eyes fluttered open like a butterfly about to take off. His mouth growing into a slight grin. His lips grazing my cheeks, he smelled slightly like Lavender, a very manly smell. 

A few seconds later Harry loosened his grip and sat up. "Good Morning!" His morning voice still raspy and sweet sending goosebumps down my spine."Good morning Harry! Thanks for the amazing night last night" I smiled cutely. "8 months is really going to kill me" I rubbed his hands in mine. Harry lifted my chin our lips meeting together my hands wrapped around his neck and his hands moving around my back in a passionate kiss. 

We pulled away as Harry spoke. "We are going to do something extra special  because I love you Alexis and I always will". 

I froze at his words. He loved me. 

I stuttered because it was my turn say the same words back. "I -I  love you too Harry".

"Lets get dressed, do you wanna go on a walk?!" He perked up. 

"Sure!" I giggled getting up off the bed throwing on something comfortable. Harry got into a t-shirt and jeans. We were ready to head out the door. As soon as we did a group of screaming girls followed us down the hallway security holding them back. Harry and I held hands stepping into the elevator. Heading down to the lobby we stooped at about every floor for a mob of cameras, finally once down in the lobby a roped off path was created for us to get through who just foloowed us out. Harry kissed my forehead showing the world that I was his girl. Knowingly it will be headlines tomorrow. I smiled laying my head on his sholuder.

We exited the hotel and walked the streets of London looking into every storefront window and pointing out everything we liked and occasionally walking into the store. Harry tried on funny hats trying to make me laugh which most deffinitely worked. He was trying to be cute which he succeedded on as well. I filled up the entire camera roll of 200 photos on my phone just taking a walk through London. 8 months without Harry was deffinitely going to be harder than I thought. I was going to miss moments like these where we could just be us without having to hide.

On our way back to the hotel a silver mercedes van picked us up to get ready to head to the airport where the boys will be off to their next location of the tour. Throughout the whole ride I held Harrys hand and laid on his chest while he rubbed my back. I felt the thumping of his beating heart and the overwhelming warmth of his hands interlocked with mine. These were the romantic moments I will miss. The car seemed to drive on forever which was not necessarily bad because taht meant we had more time. I wanted to savor every passing second.

(Harrys Thoughts)

Leaving Alexis, how will I describe this feeling. It will be one of the most challenging things I will ever have to deal with in my life. I will only see her on my days off which to my luck I dont have very many. For me time was at hand and every second slowly slipping from reach. I rubbed my hand slowly through her long silky locks, she is very peaceful and warm. The way our hands fit together like puzzle pieces waiting ot be solved. Today is one of the most special days of my life, taking adorable photos together and trying on hats to make her laugh. The minute she opens her mouth abd smiles, immediately lights up my day. Lexi is my dream girl and I have the slightest feeling that she knows.

(Alexis's thoughts)

Harrys heart kept a steady pace as I lay my head there on his chest. I wonder if he possibly could be reading my mind? Or just simply having the same thought that we are meant for eachother. I lifted myself from the comfort of his body as we pulled into the private plane entrance.

*****Reality*****

"Harry I just need to ask; if you feel the same way about me as I do about you? I've had it on my mind all day". I hoped for an honest answer. 

"Yes of course I do! Dont even doubt for a second that I dont love you Lex!" Harry looked straight at me.

Harry cupped my cheks in his hand and kissed my lips softly as I followed his lead out of the van. Tightening our grip on eachother as we made our way to the gate. There stood a bunch of screaming fans awaiting their arrival at the airport.

Onnce inside the gate Harry and I shared one last kiss making the screaming girls roar even louder. I hugged him tight for the last time. It was time to let go. The rest of the boys hugged and kissed their girlfriends preparing to say the last goodbye. The crowd was now so large and loud you couldnt  hear yourself think. The boys waved at us then to the fans before walking through the hall to the jet. 

Security led us back outside as we piled into the van taking us back to our cars parked at the hotel except for Perrie who remained at the airport on the way to her tour with british girlband Litlle Mix.

I was looking forward to going home to chill because I knew after today life would never be the same for me. The van quickly sped away from the airport as we watched the One Dirextion jet take off into the clouds.

I Arrived at my car parked at the back of the hotel we satyed in with my bags packed in the trunk. The engine huffed and I was on my way home. Just sitting in the car felt different. I so used to being with Harry I almost never use my car anymore. The silence felt weird but in a peaceful sense away from the craziness of cloud nine. I was brought back to reality. Maybe this is what I need? Some rest.

I had been staying late nights with Harry at his hotel this past week, all I really need is real rest and something to call home. Nothing more than my old bed. Looks just as Harry and I left it, it felt empty. I made sure I closed the curtains in my room blocking out the flashing criwd of paparazzi outside my front door.

After a quick shower I pulled on and oversize t-shirt and flopped down on my bed, clicked the remote to see what movies were on. Scrolling through the channels I finally came upon 'Home Alone 3' the classics. As I was about to pull my covers up over myself I saw a little piece of paper taped to the edge of my bed. A note. From Harry. 

It read: "Alexis letting go is the hardes thing I have ever had to do. I miss you like crazy already. I could never see my slef with anyone else bu you, you're my one and only girl and I cant wait to see you when I get home. Just remember I am in Love with you and all your little things"

Tears ran down my cheeks because it was true I missed Harry like crazy. Mom still wouldnt be home another week. I carefully placed the note on my bedside table before clicking off the TV and falling into a deep dreamy sleep.
