If I.

Fran's POV

"When do you plan to fly back to England?" I asked Harry as he tangled our fingers together.

He shrugged his shoulders, "when I finally convince you to come back with me"

"I-I think I'm going to stay" I said quietly.

He gave me a look and moved to sit up on the bed.

"Then I'll stay with you"

"Harold" I sighed. I wanted him to stay. I did, but I couldn't take him away from his home. His life.

"You don't want me to stay..?" He looked down, pulling his hand out of my own.

I started to shake my head. "I will always want you here, but do you really want to be here?" I asked him.

He squinted his eyebrows in thought.

"You're here.. San Francisco isn't bad, we can have a fresh start here.." He said trying to convince himself.

"Go back to England.. Let's say in.. 6 months you still want to move here we can get an apartment together, just you and me"

"Really?" He gaped.

"Really really" I giggled kissing his nose.

"You have to promise" he said becoming serious.

"I promise" I nodded.

.........................................................

"You promise to call?" Harry asked for about the hundredth time, while on our way to the airport. "And to visit soon?"

I poked his cheek causing him to bite my finger.

"Ow!" I hissed, "that fucking hurt"

His eyes lowered, "you didn't promise"

I took a deep breath.

Be nice you won't see him for a couple weeks.

I looked at him, "I promise"

The smile on his face made it worth it. If this was the reassurance he needed to be secure with this long distance relationship than I was more than happy to give it to him.

"I love you" he pecked my lips.

I pouted.

He laughed to himself before pulling me in and kissing me passionately.

"Much better" I smiled.

...........................................................

"We're here" I sighed as we pulled in.

"This isn't goodbye Francis" he said grabbing his luggage.

"Then why does it feel like one?"

He looked at me, "you said it yourself, we need this."

"Yeah, I wish I hadn't" I rolled my eyes.

As we followed in the direction of his terminal the weight on my chest appeared.

I wasn't ready to be apart from him.

The thought alone made my eyes burn.

"I'm hungry are you hungry?" I tried to stall as we passed the food court.

"Fran we don't have time, my plane leaves soon" he laughed shaking his head, while still walking.

Dammit.

"I have to go to the bathroom" I rambled, "I'm on my period".

I can't let him leave. If he's late to his flight, he will have to stay for a little longer right?

"Oh really? Is that why you let me-"

"Keep walking" I hissed, stomping in the direction of his terminal.

..........................................................

"I don't want you to go" I cried into his chest. "I love you" I choked.

"I love you more" He kissed my forehead. "I'll always come back to you" he whispered before kissing my lips. "Always"

And that was the last thing he said to me before boarding his flight.
