The Boy In The Beanie (Fetus Harry Styles)

Goodbye

He puts his hands on my shoulders and looks in my eyes. "Eden, I'm leaving."

"You're what?"

"My mum, she got a job back in England which is we're I'll be graduating."

"No, you can't go we were supposed to spend all of summer together."

"I really wish I could stay I'm just as upset about this as you are."

"I can't believe this. We were supposed to go to prom and homecoming and what about my first ki-"

"Don't worry."

He wipes a tear from my eye. I don't think he's ever seen me cry before and I don't like crying in front of people but I just couldn't hold back the tears no matter how hard I tried.

"If it makes you feel any better, I'd still love to get back together."

"But how? You're leaving."

"We can make it work... it'll be a long distance relationship but I'll make it work."

Tears are falling from my face in an unstoppable manner. He walks me down the hall to get tissues and people give me strange looks but I don't even care. Harry helps me wipe down the tears.

"I'll just have to meet you halfway." I say with a sniffle.

"No. Don't you worry about meeting me halfway, I'll go all the way to where you are and carry you if I have to."

I spend first period sitting alone trying to pull myself together while everyone else is on their phones laughing and talking about all the fun they'll be having over the summer.

Harry and I spend second period sitting right across from each other since we can sit wherever we want, we just sit, staring into each other's eyes, not saying much.

After school I walk home with Harry and we talk about how we plan on making it work.

"After secondary school I'll move back to America."

"What about college?"

"I could do that here too, I'm thinking about law school."

"So you really think we can make this work for three years?"

"I'll do anything."

"Harry, that's so long."

"I'll be back before you know it."

"When are you leaving?"

"We should be completely gone in about two weeks."

I pull out my phone and aim my camera at him.

"Why do you like taking so many pictures of me?" he asks.

"It's moments like these that I want to hold onto." I say.

Two weeks goes by faster than you'd think. Harry boards the plane back to England tomorrow. It's a horrible feeling knowing that someone you love is leaving knowing gives you the chance to say goodbye but it also hurts... a lot.

I go over to his house early in the morning to say goodbye when I knock on the door I see that their house is completely empty, Harry's room is the same with an exception of a few boxes.

"Wow this room holds quite some memories doesn't it?"

"Sure does."

When we go back down stairs I say goodbye to Gemma and Ms. Anne. Saying goodbye to Harry is the hardest thing to do. Over the past two weeks I've made up my mind about something, something that I think is fair to the both of us.

Gemma and Ms. Anne load the last things onto the truck and leave us to say goodbye.

"Harry, I've been thinking,"

"Yes?"

"I don't think it's fair for either of us to be in a relationship with someone that we can't be with."

He sighs,"I understand and you're right even though I really do like you I've been thinking how it's not fair for you to have to wait so long for me but I promise I will come back and when I do if you still want to, we can be together."

I hug him and he pulls out my phone from my back pocket, he aims the camera at us and I force out a small smile just as he's about to snap the picture he turns and gives me a kiss on the cheek which leaves that photo on my phone.

"Goodbye." he says turning to walk towards the truck.

"Goodbye." I respond.

In that moment my little star is gone.
