The Childhood Memory

Chapter Thirty-One: I love you... Goodbye.

Chloe's POV

I felt my lips go dry and my smile vanish when Harry's red Audi got inside an uncommon correctional. "Harry, where are we going?" I silently asked as I felt my insides panic. 

"I'm letting you go see Niall, right?" He ask, as if it was the dumbest question ever. "But. In a prison?" I felt my stomach churn. I can't even stand the thought of Niall staying here. 

"Well, Niall is currently staying in a correctional. Since he was accused of kidnapping you. right?" Harry simply said, as he stop into what seems like a parking lot. 

"No, Harry. You don't get it. Niall didn't kidnapped me. He doesn't deserve to be here" I quickly pointed out. "I get it, babe. I'm working on his papers now. And his attorney is in full action. I cancelled the petition yesterday, so he's gonna get out today" He flashed a cheeky smile.

"How long have he been here?" I worriedly ask, mentally wishing that Niall is alright. "Just a few days. Don't worry, he's fine" Harry gave me a reassuring smile.

"Thank you so much, Harry" I simply muttered as I give Harry a small hug. After all, Harry have really been so understanding.

"No worries, babe. Just don't forget about our deal, okay?" Well, yes. I agreed about the deal. I'm hopeless and I'm useless. I don't have any other choice left. I have to do the deal in order to get Niall out of here. I know it will take a long time to forget Niall, and it will be really painful. But I got no other choice. I have to do this.

Harry got out of the car and opened my door as he insisted. I felt a small blush creep at my cheeks because of Harry's sweetness. I have to get used to this stuffs.

We entered the correctional with two bodyguards on our side, both clothed in black. I felt Harry's arm as it carefully snaked at my waist. The correctional is surprisingly peaceful, the inmates are clothed in orange uniforms. I felt their unusual stares at me as I walk.

The guards led us to a single room, as I hear one of the guards loud voice boom "Niall James Horan! Someone's here looking for ya!"

In every aisle, there's a glass that separated each section of the room. A telephone cord used for conversations, and just a small hole that allows people to clearly see each other without the glass. The prison guard left with a simple "He's gonna come out soon" and a polite nod.

"Harry, I'll be fine." I tell Harry, wanting him to leave me alone. "Yeah sure, babe. Just don't take that long, okay?" He ask as I answer with a nod. I mouthed him a thank you before he left the room.

I just stood there, nervous. Not even having an idea how will I say my final goodbye to the boy I love the most. Afraid on how will he react to everything that I will tell him. I can't just say: Hey, you'll be free today. And I will mary Harry and you will never see me again. Goodbye. And just leave like that. It feels so wrong to do this. But I have to.

I felt my insides cheer up when I saw a certain figure coming at my direction. His blonde hair messily tousled, it wasn't in its usual quiff. It's just messy, yet its still adorable to look at. Bags were forming under his eyes, but the usual glow in his blue orbs are still there. He looks so stressed out, but he still looks like the adorable and the funny guy I fell in love with. He is still perfect to me.

I felt my legs run forward at the glass. He did the same, I want to hug him. And tell him how much I love him. But the glass thats separating the both of us from each other makes it impossible. My hands quickly reached for the telephone and grasped it with all my might.

"Niall" I breathed out through the line. As I felt a tear slip down my cheek. "Chloe, how come did you get here? Oh god, I miss you so much" He said as his palms touched the surface of the glass. I did the same. I don't think anyone or anything can stop us right now.
