epilogue

avery

one year later

"five, four, three, two, one!" everyone counted down and once it hit one i bring my hand towards his cheek and bring our lips together. smiling in the kiss life couldn't be better right now.

"happy new year, baby." harry smiled and put his arm around me.

"here's to another year with you," i joke sarcastically and earn a shocked and offended expression from his face.

"i'm kidding, i love you." i laugh lightly and put my head closer to his chest.

"you're lucky i love you too." he replied back.

we ended up in a high end new year's party in the rooftop of our hotel in london that was hosted by josh; one of harry's closest friends. at first we were hesitant to go since this wasn't really my type of scene but josh insisted anyways.

"can we go back to the hotel now?" harry whispered in to my ear frowning.

i rolled my eyes at him while we take a seat on a couch with liam, niall, and cami then reply, "it's only been an hour."

"so? we finished the countdown," he answered back.

"alright," i sighed but gave in anyways.

"okay, i'll go look for josh and say goodbye really quickly." he smiled cheekily and left a peck on my cheek. i head outside and wait patiently for harry.

i find the glass door and make my way out. i stand by the elevator and wait for harry to come out. after minutes pass by and after seeing so many couples who are trying to get in each others pants while they head out the elevator i grow impatient and call harry on my phone.

i tap on harry's name and after numerous amounts of ringing there's still no answer.

i sigh loudly and head back inside the party to find harry. making a mental note in my head that i'm whooping his āss for taking so long. while walking a bunch of excuse me's were being said. squeezing through the crowd of people drinking and celebrating i finally find harry by the stairs his back facing me but once i walk closer i realize he's talking to a tall blonde figure. her maroon dress hugging her body tightly making me sick at the thought of how she can still breathe.

"harry, it's been so long indeed. how's the career?" even though the place was fairly crowded you could still hear megan's loud and high pitched voice.

"it's all good," he replied. once i'm near harry i grab a hold of his hand and he turns to see me. his smile drops once he sees me but wraps his arm around me bringing me beside him.

"megan, this is my girlfriend, avery," harry awkwardly coughed.

"hey, avery. i see you two are back together." megan spoke and obnoxiously smirked.

i look at her emotionlessly thinking about the past and what bullshįt megan put harry and i through.

"i thought we were going already," i frowned and turned to harry.

"yeah i just bumped in to megan." he replied back.

"can we go please?" i tugged on his arm while looking down the floor feeling my stomach drop.
