Harrys POV

Things are going crazy in my mind. I keep remembering random moments with Anne, my mum. I'll just be sitting or something and start seeing things, memories.
I still don't feel completely at home here with my mum. I mean it's great. It's just, it's weird. I can't believe this is where I used to live, learn, and love.
Gemma is a really nice girl.
I mean obviously we look alike, but it's weird seeing her as a sister.
Harper is incredible. She's so gorgeous and has an amazing personality. I can't believe I was engaged to her. How did I ever get a girl like that? She could pick anybody and here she is with me.

You can see the struggle in everyone I'm with. I can't imagine how hard this is for them. They know me. I don't know them. I've caught Harper crying alone so many times. Then when she comes into a room where I am she acts like everything's okay. I've wanted to tell her that I know how she feels and that I'm here for her, but it won't do much. She misses the man that she was in love with. You can see it in her eyes. It's just not the same.

I've tried really hard to remember. It's gotten to the point where I try to remember so much that I "believe" it actually happened, but I don't actually "remember" it.

Harpers POV

"Anne I'm going out!" I yelled across the hall.
I was getting ready to go to Freddie's birthday. Louis invited me and said I could bring Harry if he was up to it. I didn't tell Harry yet. I'm telling him as soon as he notices I'm going out. He likes to know just about everything I'm doing.

"Have fun sweetie!" Anne yelled back from the kitchen.

"Where do you think you're going princess?" Harry asked as his arms wrapped round my waist from behind and he rested his head on my shoulder.

"Okay seriously we have to establish what my role actually is, am I the princess or the queen? Cause there's a huge difference." I said as I could feel Harrys breath on my neck.

"Whatever I feel like calling you." He said softly.

I rolled my eyes.

"Where are you going?" Harry said as he turned me around so that I was now facing him.

"To Louis house. It's Freddie's birthday. He's turning four."

"Freddie? That's his kid right? The one he had with Brenna Jungleworm?" He asked causing me to giggle.

"Briana Jungwirth." I said laughing alot now.

"Whatever." Harry said as you tell he was annoyed.

"You can come if you like?" I said awaiting his answer.

"I, I don't know. I mean won't it be awkward..?!" Harry said shyly and looked down at the ground.

"Only if you let it be. Come on, it will be fun." I said grabbing his hand in mine.

"Promise?"

"I promise."

I pulled Harry out to the car and we made our way to Louis house.

"Doesn't he live in LA?" Harry asked as he placed his hand on my thigh while I was trying to concentrate on driving.

"Only for part of the year, well most of the year. They wanted Freddie to be in England for this birthday. And well, they wanted to make sure you could come if you wanted." I explained.

"Oh." Harry said and took his hand off of me.

"What's wrong babe?" I asked as I could see Harry look almost sad.

"It's just.." He took a long pause. "I want to remember. Really I do. I just can't and it makes me sick thinking that all these people love and care about me and I don't even know who they are." Harry said really fast and frustratingly.

"Oh Harry!" I said as I pulled over the car and turned to face him. I cupped my hands on his cheeks.

"We will always love and care about you no matter what. Yea it's hard, but it happened. We can't change that. You're perfect to us no matter what ends up happening. We're going to get through this." I said as I stared into his big green eyes.

Harry didn't say anything. He just looked at me with a soft smile.
It was so weird for me to be saying something like this. It was how he always used to talk to me. He'd tell me that everything would be okay. That we would make it through the hard times. I guess he rubbed off on me.

I smiled back at Harry, placed a light kiss on his soft lips, and then began driving again.

"Harper!" Louis yelled as he opened the door.

"Louis!" I said mocking his British tone.

"And Harry?!" Louis said releasing a shocked breath.
He pulled Harry into a "man hug" and then patted him on the shoulders.
You could see that Louis was on the verge of tears, so he turned away and invited us in.

Harry and I walked in and everyone looked at us. I waved awkwardly so that everyone would return to what they were doing. I rolled my eyes and walked over to Danielle who was playing with Freddie.

"Hey Mrs. Tomlinson!" I said as I got closer. It was weird calling her that.
Louis married Danielle a few months before Harrys accident. I thought they would never get married. They have been together for quite a few years.

"Ahhh! Harper!! I've missed you so much! It's been so long!" Danielle said as she hugged me. Well suffocated me. She noticed she was hugging me too tightly and let off while laughing slightly.

"Where's the baby-mommy?" I asked quietly.

"Bri? She stopped by earlier but was feeling "unwell" and went home or something." She said with air-quotes.
Dani was not a fan of Bri. Like at all. They definitely do not get along.

Harry was mingling with some people and looked like he was having a good time. I was happy for him. It's been a while since he's interacted with people other than me and his family.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

The party has been over for quite a while. It was just us, the Tomlinsons, and the rest of the lads.

Harry was so happy. It wasn't awkward at all. They were acting like best buds again. I almost cried when I saw how happy everyone was. I missed seeing Harry this happy. He was having a genuinely good time and so were the lads. They were joking, laughing, and crying even from laughing so hard.

They made plans to get together again in a while. Harry agreed to their plans and we made our way back home.

"See that wasn't so bad now was it?" I asked/told Harry as we pulled into the driveway.

"It wasn't. But I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you." He said and kissed my cheek.

Harrys POV

I actually think I remembered some of the moments the guys were talking about. I didn't want to tell Harper though until I was sure. I think right now the less she knows the easier it will be for her.
