It's amazing how pictures can capture moments of life you want to keep forever. Without cameras, I don't think I'd be able to breathe. It was my passion, and I enjoy snapping moments that seem cheerful.

As a professional photographer, I partnered up with Dani, Liam, and two other people. Kendall and Andy. All five of us were solid as a rock. Our job was to take pictures and combined them all into one, and it would be one hell of a piece.

Kendall was the worst, though. Instead of taking pictures of things that matter, she'd just end up taking  pictures of herself. And when we ask her to take pictures of nicer views or things, she claims that she is the view.

It could get really annoying.

I started this job two years ago, to ease my mind after everything that had happened to me at that time.

Belle left two years ago, and I still don't know where she is, how she is, hell, if she's even alive. I missed Belle, and I prayed to God I'd find her somehow.

Allie was doing good. She apologized about everything and all the damage she'd caused, and I forgave her. I didn't even care anymore. She found a guy for herself, and she was getting married soon.

I'm happy for her, because she isn't the monster she was two years ago.

I probably taught her a good lesson.

We were flying up to New York to shoot the opening of the Art Academy Project Presentations. Projects from students there had made pieces and we were asked to be the photographers for the night.

Kendall's head was rested on my shoulder as I looked out the window from the plane. Early morning. We had 30 more minutes until we'd get off.

Kendall wanted us to be together for quite a while. I like her, but not that way. She reminds me of Allie, very much. She was a decent girl. Beautiful, funny, talented, but if there was one thing Kendall didn't have, it would be kindness. She was awfully rude. Kendall was too full of herself because her father was the owner of so many companies, like Tiffany's, Chanel, or Dior. In fact, he had one of his own.

Jenner Incorporations.

The entire family was rich, but they were all dumb.

I didn't realize where time went until the hostess spoke up. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived in New York, please remain seated while the plane lands, thank you for choosing United Airlines."

Finally.

I looked to the seats next to my row and spotted Liam waking Dani up. I smiled, because they recently got married. I remember when Dani told me about her crush on Liam that she had for quite a long time. So it was cute.

Kendall was still asleep, and I groaned as I had to shake her a few times so she'd get the hell of my shoulder.

"Jesus, Harry you could be a little softer." She growled. I rolled my eyes and checked my phone. It was early morning, and I could really use a coffee. Maybe I'll get one after we leave the airport.

After the process of getting our bags, we headed for our hotel. I was in a taxi with Kendall, and I was praying that the driver could be a little faster.

"Harry, what should I wear to the art event?"

"I don't know, you have so many dresses." I groaned and played with my phone. She sighed, and scooted over to me. "Do you hate me?"

I looked into her eyes and softened up a bit. I was being a jerk, but my head was pounding and my stomach yearned for coffee. "No, Kenny. I'm just tired."

"I don't know, you-you've just been acting weird lately. Is everything okay?" She asked. I slightly smiled at her concern, "Yes, I'm fine, thanks." I held her hand lightly and rubbed circles on it with my thumb.

The streets were so busy, with the rain pouring down. Kendall and I quietly enjoyed the sound of drops, as she rested her head on my shoulder, and I put mine on hers.

I was going through the pictures I had taken on the plane when Dani's head peeped in. I looked up and smiled, "What's up?"

"Grab a coffee with me?"

Anytime.

We found a coffee shop close by, called Muffy's Muffins and Coffee. Sounded like that brat from Arthur.

"Hey, do you mind looking through my camera for the pictures I took?." Dani said, as we took our seats after ordering and grabbing our lattes.

"Sure!" I smiled, taking my coat off and resting it on my chair. I sat down and grabbed her camera from her while she sipped her coffee, looking around the coffee shop.

She took one of Liam sleeping, one of the view outside, and a lot more of the clouds. I was impressed, because the clouds looked the same in every picture, but Dani seemed to capture different angles of them, making the pictures look so interesting.

"Harry?" She said. My eyes were glued to the camera as I responded with a hum.

"Do you think she's going to be at the Art Gallery Event?"

I blinked and looked up at her, "Dani, it's been two years, we have traveled the world, and we have been here a thousand times. I don't think she's here."

I didn't even think she's alive, and I felt so guilty.

"No, Harry. I think there is a chance of-FUCK!" Dani shrieked as she dropped her coffee on her clothes, and I laughed at her words. I handed her a few napkins as I continued laughing.

"This isn't funny, Styles." She pouted, dabbing the napkin on her shirt.

"Oh, it's hilarious." I sunk to my seat and clutched my stomach. I couldn't breathe.

She rolled her eyes and rushed to the bathroom. I shook my head and wiped my tears from my eyes, grabbing her camera again. I could feel my smile fade.

As I was waiting for her to come, I was still going through the pictures. The bell of the coffee shop jingled, and a girl walked in with a collection of books in her hands. She was kind of short, with short, shoulder length hair, silky and straight. Her back was facing me, and I couldn't see her face, so I went back to looking at Dani's pictures.

I had my eyes on the pictures but I could see her figure take the seats ahead of mine and Dani's. I could perfectly see her face. Taking a sip of my coffee, I built up the courage and looked up at her.

I nearly choked on my drink, and then I realized,
It was Belle.
