Start It All Over Again (Harry Styles)

Chapter 12 (Harry)

We're at the beach. Casually holding hands while walking and acting as if we were the only ones here. It was almost the end of summer vacation and I invited her to go with us. With my Mum, Robin and my sister, Gemma.

"Thank you for accepting my invitation." I said and kissed her cheek. I can see how her cheeks reddened when I did that.

"Hey. You stole a kiss once again." she pouted and I chuckled. She is so cute and at the same time, radiant. "It's my pleasure. Besides, Mum and Dad are out for a week because of a business trip." she added. Her face had fallen when she mentioned her parents. I gently wrapped my arms around her.

"Don't be sad. They are just doing it for your future. They love you so much and that's why they have to sacrifice to give you all the things that you want." she smiled weakly. "And don't forget that I'm always here for you, okay? My family is also your family." I cheered her up more. I just don't want to see her down.

"But they are the only ones that I need, Harry. I hope they'll see that someday." she paused and then continued, "Thank you so much. For being there. For cheering me up. I don't know what to do if you'll leave me." she beamed at me and pressed her lips to my cheeks.

"I'll never leave you." I kissed her forehead. "I will be there for you." I kissed the top of her nose. "And I'll love you... forever." Our faces are merely inches apart and I don't want this moment to end.

"Forever?"

"Yes. Forever." I smiled and I came closer to her.

There, we shared our very first and sweetest kiss we had.

I was awake as the sun glistened to my room. The dream that I had last night. We were fifteen years old then. We were so carefree and foolishly in love. I smiled at the thought of her, how her lips are meant for mine. How they sync perfectly into meaning and I knew that I still got it so bad. Katie is alive and I would do anything to win her back. I am dying to hold her in my arms once again, how my stomach churned whenever I see her and how I love her presence. I love everything about her and I can't wait to be with her again.

"Mate. You ready? We're going to the studio today."

I was brought back to reality by Zayn. I nearly forgot that we will be going to the studio today, to choose the songs that we want for the album and then have a photoshoot for it. I bet he is excited to go there because studio means seeing Alex.

"Coming. Give me at least ten minutes." He closed the door and I started to get out from my bed and went straight to the bathroom. As soon as I got out, I put on my favorite button-down shirt and a pair of pants as well as my boots. I love wearing those. I feel comfortable with it.

I traipsed downstairs and I was the only one who's not there. I am not still in good terms with Lou with what happened last night. The other lads don't have an idea because they're still their happy selves.

"Good morning." I greeted them and they all smiled at me. Well, except for Louis who's sitting at the barstool. He's still mad at me. Damn.

"Want some cereal?" Liam offered to me. I nodded and take the box from him. I grabbed a bowl from the cupboard and sat on one of the barstools. Far away from Louis. I just don't want to talk to him today.

"How is it going with you and Alex?" I asked Zayn and his cheeks redden as I mention her name.

"We're doing great. Getting to know each other and such. And we're taking things slowly." he replied gleefully. I am so happy for him, that he is alright. I can still remember how broken he was when Perrie broke up with him and now here he is, doing fine and getting better. Alex is a very big impact to him.
