"Astrid? Wh-what are you doing here?" Ashley stuttered with eyes wide opened in disbelief.

"Hi." I smiled at her shyly. I'm never shy with my cousin why would I? She's my cousin! But I guess I was just nervous what her reaction would be after she found out that I'm here to talk to Harry.

Harry.

Where is he? Usually he's the one that opens the door.

"Come in!" My cousin says opening the door wider.

"Sit down!" Motioning towards the couch for me to sit.

"Sorry this was just random. But I kind of... Umm well see I-I need to uhh-"

"Talk to Harry?" She interrupted me.

"Yeah." I reply almost in a whisper.

"I miss him." I break down. I can't help but cry. Being here in his apartment, their apartment. I feel stupid for even crying infront of my cousin, for looking so weak. But people can not hold in so much. And I couldn't handle it anymore.

"It's fine. I understand. Go ahead and cry let it out. I understand, it has been a year since you've both talked. Your fine." Ashley soothes me as I continue to let out sobs escape my lips.

"Is he here?" I ask now lifting up my head to meet Ashley's eyes. I see them quickly change emotion.

"He- he's not here. He actually left out to Las Vegas last night." She says. I feel my heart drop. He probably left so Lucy can meet his parents. He's probably with Lucy.

Lucy.

The girl I was so easily replaced with. And here I am. Crying my eyes out as if he gave a care in the world about me. I was so stupid to even believe he would at least have a little ounce of caring for me. But I was wrong. I was wrong all along. After a year of feeling empty and miserable he was out being happy with Lucy.

What am I even still doing here? Why am I wasting my time? I shouldn't have left my mom. I should have spent time. Now I feel like the biggest bitch ever. She misses me and here I am wasting my time on a guy that doesn't even miss me. Don't get me wrong I miss my mom terribly, but I see her every then and there. But Harry. I thought there would still be a chance. And I guess I was wrong.

-Harry's POV-

I spent my whole flight, staring at these pictures. Our pictures that meant something to her once. I just hope I find her. I need her to listen to me. I need to listen to her. We both need to stop being so damn immature and talk this out.

I miss her terribly, she needs to know.

I don't want to lose her.

I just hope I'm not to late.

I step into a taxi and tell the driver my destination. As we're driving I turn my phone on once again. Should I maybe call Ashley? Should I ask her for Astrid's number? I doubt she would give it to me.

Why the fuck do I have to go through this? Why the fuck did I have to go through so much trouble. I never thought I would go through these problems with Astrid. She was different. Distance was the problem here. It drifted us apart.

Here I am now. In front of Astrid's doorstep. I try my best to not break down here. In front of her doorsteps. All these amazing memories replay through my head like a movie. From the first day I dreadfully walked here for our first dinner meeting our neighbors not knowing I'd fall in love with my neighbor, to the last day we spent together in her room just talking then going for a walk at the park. Crazy how everything works out.

I knock lightly on the burnished wooden door, to be greeted with Astrid's mother, completely in shock and confusion. I can't tell if she hates me or not. But I just hope she lets me talk to Astrid, or at least lets me know where I can find her.

"Harry? What are you doing here?" She asked slightly confused.

"Can I please talk to Adtrid?" I practically beg her.

"Harry. Hun I don-don't think that's going to happen."
