Harry’s father parked the car. “Here we are. Home.” Harry smiled and jumped out of the car. He opened the door and walked inside. He looked around. Everything seemed still the same as it was before he had to go to jail. It gave him such a great feeling. He almost cried from happiness. Aria came in after him and smiled. ‘Did you miss home?’ Harry turned around and nodded. “Yes Aria. You can’t believe how awful it was. It was so empty and cold. I was luckily I had officer Bently to talk to.” Aria nodded and walked to the kitchen. ‘You want to drink something?’ “A coke please.” After a nod Aria went to the kitchen to get some drinks. Meanwhile Harry looked at the pictures in the room. Most of them were still the same. There was just one new picture. Harry picked it up. It was a picture of Aria and Zayn. They looked so happy and lucky. Harry placed it back with a smile and sat down on the couch again. A few minutes later, Aria came back with a coke for Harry and some water for herself. “Thanks. Where are mom and dad?” ‘I don’t know.’ “I will look were they are.”  Harry stood up and walked out of the room. Ones he was outside he saw his mother talking to a blond boy who couldn’t be much older than him. He walked over to them with a smile. ‘Hello.’ The boy looked up and smiled. ‘You’re Harry right?’ Harry nodded and gave the boy a hand. ‘Yes. That’s me. And who are you?’ “I’m Dylan.” Dylan smiled at Harry. ‘Oh hey Dylan. Are you new here in town?’ “Yes. I came live here about a year ago.” Harry nodded. ‘Well. Maybe we can go to the bar sometimes?’ “Oh yea. I can give you my number.” They gave each other their numbers and Harry went inside again. ‘And? Why are they still outside?’ “They were talking to a boy, Dylan. He looks very nice! We’re going to go to a bar sometimes. Swat, if you need me, I will be upstairs, showering.” Harry walked upstairs and went inside the bathroom. Finally a good shower again. He undressed himself and enjoyed his shower.

“Here you are miss. And your ticket.” Emily put the ticket in the bag and gave it to her last costumer of the day. ‘Thank you girl.’ The woman smiled at Emily and walked out the store. Finally. Work is done! Emily closed the shop and counted the money. She walked to the staffroom and picked her things to go home. After doing a quick check she closed the shop, took her bike and drove home. A few minutes later, she parked her bike and went inside the house. “Mom! I’m home!” Emily’s mother came out of the kitchen an gave her a kiss. ‘Oh hey honey! How was your day?’ “Great. There were many costumers so I had much work.’ Emily walked over to the table and looked at the food her mother was preparing. “What’s all that food for?” ‘You don’t know yet honey?’ “What should I know mom?” ‘Harry is out of prison.’ Emily almost dropped the plates she was carrying. “What? Harry is home again?” ‘Yes honey, he is.’ “Home, here in London?” Emily’s mother nodded and continued cutting carrots. Emily sat down on a chair. He is back…would he have changed a lot? Did he miss me? Of course not. He didn’t even write. Should I go to him? No, that’s a stupid idea. Maybe he doesn’t even remember me…  “Emily. Emily? Are you even listening to what I say?” Emily looked up. "Yes mom? What did you say? I wasn't really listening. ' Emily's mother smiled and shook her head. "I said they come for dinner tonight.” ‘Who?’ “Harry, Danny, Aria and Nicole of course! Who else?!” Emily looked at her mom. ‘What?! You mean they come to here?’ “Yes honey why?” Emily shook her head and stood up. ‘No, nothing mom, I will be upstairs if you need me.’ “Ok honey.” Emily’s mother smiled at her and continued cutting the carrots.

‘Here is your white shirt Harry.’ Harry’s mother walked into his room. Harry turned around and smiled. “Thanks mom.’ He took it from her and put it on. Harry’s mother looked at him with a smile. ‘You look very handsome Harry!’ She gave him a hug and a kiss. ‘I’m so happy that you are home again honey!’ “I’m too mom, very happy.” After she gave him another smile, Harry’s mother walked out the room and Harry was alone again. He looked at himself in the mirror. He thought he looked ok and smiled at himself in the mirror. He was happy and very nervous to see Emily again. He didn’t see her for about three years and he hoped she would still recognize him. He didn’t look so different he thought. Although he had got a few tattoos, he still had the same hair, eye color and his personality didn’t change at all in the past few years. He needed to see Emily. To talk to her about what happened. To explain everything to her.

“What do you think Sofie? Should I wear my red or blue dress?” ‘I think you should wear the blue dress.’ Sofie was Emily’s best friend, in fact she was almost a sister for Emily. “Ok! Thanks Sofie! Wish me luck.” Sofie laughed. ‘Good luck Emily!’ After saying goodbye Emily put on her clothes and some make-up.  She was wearing her blue dress with white pumps and she put curls in her hair. After a quick check in the mirror, she walked out of her room and went downstairs. ‘Mom. I’m ready.’ Emily’s mother turned around and smiled. “You look beautiful honey. Are you a bit nervous to see Harry again?” Emily sighed and nodded. 'A bit ... ' Emily's mother stood up and hugged her. "It will be alright honey! I know for sure we will all have a great time tonight.” Emily smiled and nodded. ‘Thank you mom. I just hope we still will get alone so well as we did 3 years ago.’ “You will honey. I promise.” After another laugh Emily’s mother stood up and walked into the kitchen.

 “Harry! It’s time to go!!” ‘Yes dad! I’m coming.’  Harry walked outside, stepped in the car en sat down next to Aria. She smiled at how nervous Harry was. “And Haz? Ready to see Emily again?” ‘As ready as I can be.’ Harry looked out of the window so Aria couldn’t see his face. His father stepped in the car and waited to start the car till Harry’s mother sat down too. After she sat down in the car Danny, Harry’s father started it. They drove for about 10 minutes and parked the car.

‘There they are!’ Zayn stood up and walked outside. ‘Aria!’ Aria jumped out the car and gave Zayn a kiss. “Hey baby. How are you?” Zayn smiled and put his hand on Aria's cheek. "I’m fine. As long as I'm with you ... " Aria began to blush and smiled shy. 'I love you Zayn.' Zayn looked in Arias eyes and pressed his lips hard on hers. After the kiss, he hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear. ' I love you too Aria. You're the best girl in the whole world.’ They let go of each other and walked to the car. At that moment Harry stepped out of the car with a smile. ‘Yo Zayn!’ Zayn smiled and gave Harry a hug. “Yo Haz! I’m glad youre home again.” Harry smiled and nodded. ‘I’m happy too.’ “So, are you nervous to see my sissie again?” Zayn grinned at Harry. ‘I…’ Harry couldn’t finish his sentence, because there walked a girl out the door, a girl who took his breath away every time he saw her: Emily. She stepped into the sunlight and Harry almost couldn’t hold his tears. Her hair looked beautiful in the sun, it looked like it was made of gold. Her skin was browner than Harry remembered it, but it looked as soft and beautiful as it always had looked. Then he looked at her eyes. When he looked in her eyes, all the memories came back. The great memories that he had for he ended up in prison. Harry smiled softly and whispered. ' Emily... '

'Go Emily. Go to Harry.' Emily nodded and walked out. When she saw Harry, her heart stopped. He looked exactly as he used to. He was grown up and he looked older, but his eyes had still the beautiful green color. She wanted to say something when she heard him whispering her name. She just stopped thinking and ran into Harry’s arms. She put her arms around him and hugged him tight. The tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt Harry's hands stroking her hair. Emily let him go and smiled at him. ‘Hey…’ Harry smiled and put her hair after her ear. “Hey Em."
