***Harry's P.O.V***

I watched her very carefully as she slept peacefully in front of me. The slow and steady movement of her chest moving up and down, and the way her eyelashes would occasionally flutter, or she would mumble out something. She was adorable. Precious.

"You know, it's kinda creepy that you're watching her sleep." Charlie teased, leaning on the door frame of the bedroom.

"Shut up" I grumbled. "She's cute when she sleeps."

"I know." he smiled. "I had her first, remember?"

"Too bad you don't have her now." I snapped at him. I knew Charlie wanted Melanie back. He always had. I don't think he ever forgot about her, but he had to. Melanie was with me now. I would get rid of Charlie, one way or another.

"Well, this debate was bound to come up sooner or later." he sighed, stepping into the room, taking a seat on a chair placed near the head of the bed.  "SO what do we do?"

"Nothing. She's staying with me." I stated. I would usually yell, but the sleeping beauty in front of me, was my incentive to stay quite.

"Harry, she's my girlfr-"

"Was!" I raised my voice, lowering in again when Melanie shifted in her sleep. "She was your girlfriend." I corrected.

Charlie let out a frustrated sigh.  "She always would have been, if you guys didn't take her from me."

"We never took her away. YOU are the one that left her. Remember? You didn't even say goodbye!" Anger was boiling in me. Melanie is going to stay with me. End of discussion.

"I didn't really have a choice! It was leave the girl I love, or watch Justin and CJ kill the girl I love!" Charlie growled, standing up again.

"She's sleeping." I spat, hatred blazing in my eyes. "Lower your voice."

It's hard to believe just hours ago we had worked together, getting along, now we were at each others throat again.

Charlie glanced at Melanie, relief washing through his eyes to see she was still deep in slumber, before turning his attention back to me.

"If you truly cared for Mel, you would let her choose." Charlie spoke.

I knew why he said that. Because he knew that Melanie would choose him. She had actually cared for him, when she hated me. I couldn't  let her leave me though she meant too much to me , I won't give up on her.

"If you really loved her, you would let her go.  She still has nightmares because of you. You hurt her more than I ever have."

"She...she has nightmares because of me?" he gasped in horror. "I swear if that was a lie just to get her back-"

"It's the truth." I spoke in a calm tone. It was true, she always dreamed about him leaving her. He didn't deserve her. "She always wakes up, screaming, or in a sweat."

"Because...because I left?" He asked in shock.

"Yeah, she thought you had been killed I guess" I mumbled, turning my attention back to Melanie.

"I didn't know she had been so affected" Charlie whispered, looking guilty and ashamed.

"Well she was. If you care for her, you won't hurt her anymore, and you'd leave."

Charlie looked utterly crushed, glancing back and forth between the door, and Melanie. Although I hadn't been totally truthful, I had hoped it would guilt him into leaving. He can find another girl, but nobody could replace my Melanie. I was head over heels for her, and any fool that would try to separate us would regret it. She won't leave me, she can't.

"If..if I leave her with you.." Charlie sighed, tears back in his eyes. "You'd take care of her, right?" he asked.

"Of course!" I scoffed. "I love her." I admitted.

"Don't make any tears fall from her precious eyes. Don't bruise any of her soft skin, don't yell at her, or scare her. Just...love her. Make her know how valuable and treasured she is. When you hold her, hold her tight, like you have the heaven in your hands, because you do. Make her smile and laugh, give her all she needs. Most importantly..." his voice cracked. "Be everything for her that I wasn't."

I glanced up at him, to see tears falling from his eyes, as he stared in awe at Melanie sleeping. He looked at her with such love, I admit that. But it was nothing compared to how much I cared for her.

"I'll treat her like the angel she is." I assured him, giving him a slight nod.

"Okay." he sighed, pain laced in his words. "Just, let me say goodbye. I'm not making the same mistake again." he cracked.

(A/N: Play the song now!!!!)

He walked up to Melanie, brushing a curl out of her eyes. He placed his lips to the top of her head, and she stirred slightly, but her eyes never opened. A tear leaked from his eyes, landing on her cheek, but he softly swiped it off her cheek with the pad of his thumb. His fingers slowly stroked her face, as he stared at her in awe and pain.

"Mel" he whispered. "I have to let you go princess..." he croaked. "I have to do what is best for you, even if it's the worst for me." he cried. "It's because I love you so damn much, that I can't be selfish with you, and I have to set you free." Tears were running down his face now at a fast speed.

"I love you with all my heart, and I always will. I know it feels like my heart is breaking, but It's not, because it's safe in your hands baby" he whispered. "I'm leaving it with you, because that way, it will always be safe. Harry's going to take care of you. Better then I ever did" he cried. "But nothing changes how I feel for you, okay? You'll always be my princess."

I admit, it was sad to watch. To see the tears drip from his eyes, his voice crack, and his voice shaking with his every word.

"Maybe we'll meet again. You would have grown up from a princess, into a beautiful queen. We might bump into each other, you'll still have that sparkle in your eye. That smile that makes a boys heart melt. And I look forward to that day so much baby" he whispered. "But I have to go for now. It's what is best for you. And what ever is best for you, is best for me, even if I don't know it right now. I'll always love you Melanie. Don't ever forget that."

With his last words, he kissed her one last time on her forehead, before standing up. He walked to the door, but stopped at the door frame.He smiled at the girl he loved, and blew her one last kiss, whispered a "I love you princess. Goodbye." before walking out.
