Destined To Be Together

Chapter 1

"Mel, Come on down now! Your mom has been waiting since forever!!!" My dad shouted from downstairs. Oh my god!! I did not know that mom is in town and that she had also ruined my dad's plan of dropping me off at the airport!! I hate her!! After all she did to me and dad how can I love her?? My dad caught mom with another man! That too with me holding dad's hand! That too in my parents' bedroom! I was 12 at that time. My parents divorced after that mischief. I started hating my mother more and more every passing day. The last time I saw her was at court, 5 years ago. I was so angry that I did not even need any blush. My cheeks were red with anger and my ocean blue eyes were turning red.

I knew I had to change my mood since I was going to leave for London in like 5 hours and I wanted my dad to see me happy before I left. I was going to London to fulfill my dream of studying in the "Branwood High Boarding". It is a British - American school located a few miles away from London. It was the school my father went to. I wasn't keen at going there earlier but now I want to. I got a scholarship for Branwood High because of my 4.0 GPA in High School.

I went downstairs trying to look happy for my dad. My mother was there too. I tried to control myself from rolling my eyes but was unable to. As soon as I reached downstairs, I saw my dad's eyes water and I walked upto him and hugged him. "Oh come on dad!!" I said grinning. "It is not like I am leaving Los Angeles forever. I am just going to complete my senior year!" I said. "Nothing nothing. It is just that I can't imagine living without you for one year." He sobbed. "After all that happened, you have been my only support." He said eyeing my mother. "I promise you dad, I will call you, skype you, FaceTime you every DAMN day!!" I said, my eyes starting to form tears. "I love you dad! No one in this whole world can change that."

My mother was staring at us rolling her eyes. As soon as I let go of dad, she came to hug me. "Whoa! Easy there woman!" I gave her a forceful hug and rolled my eyes. My dad was silently laughing from behind. She kissed my forehead and I let out a sigh when she let go of me. "THANK GOD THIS IS NOT GOING TO LAST FOR LONG!" I said to myself. She was crying when she wanted to hug me again, but I backed off. Dad looked at me with anger in his eyes but I said "Dad, I am really very sorry for all of this to happen. But I cannot take it anymore." I sighed. "This woman was not there for me when I needed her the most. She was not there for me when I fell or when I cried, the only person who was there with me was you dad!" My mother began crying harder. "I am sorry Beatrice, but I don't think I will go to the airport with you." I held dad's hand and said, "I want to spend my last moments in LA with peace, with my dad" My dad was holding on to my hand tight, meaning that he was with me. I looked at him and smiled. She became furious at me for calling her by her name but she controlled her anger.

-

As soon as Beatrice left, me and my dad looked at each other and started laughing. "Oh my god! I didn't think I had the courage to say that to her face!!" My dad said that he did not want me to do that but was proud that I had now become DYNAMIC. "Thanks dad" I sighed. "Now can we please leave for the airport! Only 3 hours are left for my flight to take off." I said. "Oh my god! I'm really sorry, honey! I forgot that you have to go to London."

He took hold of my luggage as I shut the door behind him. I took one last good look of my neighborhood which I was not to see in another year. My eyes watered. My dad wiped away my tears and hugged me. We sat in the car and took off.

-

We reached the airport an hour later and I hugged my dad the last time before I met him again. My dad walked me to the gate of LAX. I kissed him on the cheek and then went inside.

-

I was walking at the duty free shops in the airport and I was admiring a Gucci handbag when I fell down. I had bumped into someone. "Oh my god! I am so sorry! Are you ok?". His voice was raspy. His brown curls were falling on his forehead and his worried emerald eyes looked into my ocean blue ones.

He helped me up. "I am so sorry for that. I'm Harry, by the way. Harry Styles." He said. "It's all right Harry. I am Melissa. Melissa Carter.". "Where are you going?" Asked Harry. "I am going to London to complete my senior year." He looked quite shocked. "So am I! Which school?" He said with a heavy british accent. "I am going to Branwood High." He was about to squeal "So am I! I think we will be good friends at school."

An announcement was made telling us that our flight to London was now boarding. "I think I'll see you at school then." I said. "Yeah, I am looking forward for that." He said and hugged me single handedly. "I'll see you later then. Goodbye!" He waved. "Goodbye Harry! I will see you soon."
