It's Time

Chapter 25

Lara’s POV

My eyes slowly open the small rays of sunlight peeking through the blinds in Harry’s bedroom. Last night’s events replayed in my mind, the only people I have ever shared that story with is the girls. Harry is one of the first people I trust enough to reveal one of my darkest times. I turn over in the bed expecting to be greeted by Harry’s warm body.

But he wasn’t there.

I pull the blanket off of my warm body immediately being greeted by the cool air of his bedroom. I shiver slightly as my bare feet come in contact with the cold wooden floors. I walk out of the room curious to where Harry could of gone. I stop at his doorway hearing people talking from the kitchen, I tip toe closer trying to make out what they were saying to each other.

“How was last night?” Louis asks, knowing Louis he had a dirty intention in mind. “Mate it wasn’t like that!” Harry says seriously. I was surprised by Harry’s answer, every guy that I know would have admitted to hooking up with a girl just to impress his friends, but Harry didn’t, he was different.

“She is different to all the other girls I have been with. I think I might love her Lou!” I’v heard Harry says he loves me before but there was something about this time that made me believe him and for the first time I think I might love him too. A smile spreads on my face finally realising what it feels like to love again.

“I know you do Haz! The boys all know it as well” Louis mentions a happy feeling spreading all over my body. “But what am I going to do about leaving for tour tomorrow?” ‘They are leaving TOMORROW!?’ I have just told Harry about my past and now he is leaving me. My heart feels like it has been dropped and smashed into a million little pieces in front of me. This is what happens when I trust people, they just leave me. I quickly rush back to Harry’s room not wanting to hear any more of their convocation.

Harry’s POV

“But what am I going to do about leaving tomorrow?” I ask Louis, I can’t just leave Lara. I knew the whole time that we had tour but I guess I kept putting off telling her because I didn’t want to ruin things. I have tried so hard to get Lara and I don’t want to stuff it up by me just abruptly leaving.

“I don’t kno-“ “what hold on! I think she is up” I interrupt Louis listening carefully. “Alright I got to go, but you better sought it out today otherwise it’s going to be a bigger drama” Louis says wisely, I knew he was right.

“See you”  I walk up stairs quietly making sure I don’t wake her if she happened to be still sleeping. I slowly open the door it creaking slightly, I see Lara sitting up on the bed scrolling through her phone she doesn’t even acknowledge me present.

“Morning babe” I say and lean in to kiss her lips but she quickly turns her head so my lips kiss her cheek instead. My eyebrows crinkle leaving me completely confused “You alright babe?” I ask concerned and worriedly, I carefully sit at the edge of the bed focused on her beautiful face her blonde hair hanging in her face. “Your leaving?” She questions not looking up from her screen, I sigh and I lick my lips “Yeah” I say not knowing what else to say to her “I told you everything and now your leaving me alone. I don’t think you realise that you are one of the people I actually trusted with my darkest time” she says looking up from her phone her ocean blue eyes glossy, my heart aching feeling bad for not telling her sooner. “Lara I meant to tell you sooner but everything was going smoothly I just didn’t want to ruin things” I say meaningfully scooting closer to her on the bed holding her hand gently. “How’s that working for you?” She says emotionlessly

“I’m so sorry Lara” I held her hand tighter “How long are you leaving for?” She questions “umm 3 months” I say apprehensively, 3 months is a long time I honestly don’t know how I’m going to last without her. Lara’s face drops and she looks down obviously upset by my answer. “Hey hey look we will talk everyday” I say trying to be as encouraging as possible lifting her chin up gently. “3 months is a long time Harry” her voicing cracking slightly making my heart ache “I know it is baby but we will make it work, okay?” I say our for heads touching lightly “Okay” “Come on lets go make breakfast and we can do whatever you want today” I say getting up from the bed holding out my hand.

Lara’s POV

3 months.

3 months; without his kisses, his touch, his hugs, seeing his beautiful face hearing his sweet voice. Harry said he would call but it’s just not the same without him being here by my side. What if he finds somebody else? I mean it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been cheated on, I should be used to it by now.
