Harry and I kissed one last time before the uncomfortableness of my dress was unbearable. I stood up from under him and tried unzipping it but I couldn't reach.

"Let me help you" Harry slowly dragged the zipper down my back teasing me on purpose. I felt free as the dress hit the floor and I saw the reflection of Harry and my half naked body in the mirror.

"Can I borrow one of your shirts?" I asked facing him. His eyes tore away from mine and glanced at my chest trying to make it unnoticeable but he failed.

"What? Oh yeah sure" I giggled at his zoned out state and he handed me a black t shirt that smelled like him. "You know you could just sleep like that"

"No because I'm not sleeping with a bra on so I'm definitely not sleeping topless"

"Why not?" He pouted. He asked me to be his girlfriend like two minutes ago and he already wants to see me topless.

"Because that's weird" I laughed again before slipping his shirt over me. It came down to the middle of my thigh and once it was covering my chest I slipped my bra out from under it leaving Harry perplexed.

"How'd you do that?"

"I have skill" And with that I walked out of the room and found his bathroom. I washed the makeup off my face and saw him leaning in the doorframe. He actually scared me when I looked up.

"Is your eye feeling better?" I asked him.

"Yeah luckily your brother didn't punch me that hard so it should be gone in a day or two"

"I'm sorry about that"

"Don't be. Are you tired?" I nodded and we walked back into his room. I picked my dress up off the floor and folded it neatly. He turned the lamp off and both of us climbed under the covers and found a good cuddling position. My leg was tangled in between his and his hand loosely hung over my waist.

"Goodnight Anna"

"Goodnight Harry"

"You two need to work something out!" My mum yelled at both Noah and I. Yes when I came home they fussed at me because I threw punch in Noah's face.

And on top of that Noah managed to get a picture of Harry and I kissing in his car then sent it to my parents. Yeah they weren't too happy about that but I'm almost 18 I can kiss whoever I want to.

"Why! He is literally trying to find every way to destroy my reputation! Everyone at school hates me and not to mention the names they call me because of him!" I pointed at Noah. "You know people commit suicide because of things like this! If Noah wasn't my brother it could be different but you know I really don't care at this point so don't tell me I need to clean up a mess I didn't make"

"You know what Noah she's right" My dad said. Thank you!

"What is that supposed to mean?" He sassed.

"You're going to military school" My dad said calmly.

"What?!" Noah screamed.

"You heard him" My mum added. Praise Jesus Christ.

"You're seriously sending me to military school? That doesn't even make sense"

"Why not?" My dad asked.

"Because I want to stay here in Cheshire!"

"Why so you can put cameras in my room to capture whenever Harry and I kiss then post them on youtube?" I snapped.

"Anna not now" My mum stressfully breathed.

"Why can't I speak? He deserves to go to military school"

"You aren't part of the decision" My dad sternly said and I shut my mouth from that point on.

"So what Anna's just going to be the only child?"

"No actually there's something your dad and I have been meaning to tell you guys" Mum was really nervous. Why?

"They needed more nurses for the marines because other countries' submarines have been attacked and people need our help so we will be on a submarine for the next few months" My dad said.

"Months?!" They were leaving? For months?

"Only 7 we'll be back before you know it"

"Mum you don't understand I can't live without you guys for the next 7 months with him"

"Well son we are sending you to military school" My dad said. Noah scoffed.

"You're joking. You're going to be gone for the next half year so how am I supposed to get there?"

"We'll work the details out later" No they won't. They're going to leave Noah and I alone in this big house and he's going to find a way out of military school. I can't believe this.

"When are you leaving?" I asked.

"Tomorrow" Wonderful. My parents are leaving me alone. "Anna don't worry you're almost an adult so this will be good for you"

"You won't even be here for my birthday" Tears stung my eyes as I ran upstairs and slammed my door shut. I don't want my parents to leave. How am I going to go seven months without seeing them? Whenever they leave we go with them but we can't this time.

"Anna please can we talk?" I heard my mum softly knock at the door. Well I'm not going to see her after tomorrow so I might as well talk to her while I can.

"I'm so sorry but we have to it's our jobs"

"What about Noah? He's going to single handedly ruin my life without you here" I sobbed into her shoulder.

"No he won't okay? You can do this I know you can you've always been independent and I know you'll be okay"

"I can't mum"

"Your dad and I can't do anything about it I'm sorry" I nodded trying to be understanding but this was just awful. I've never been away from my parents for more than a week. How am I going to last? I guess they're right though since I'll be going off to college next year. "Tomorrow though you and Noah will skip school to go to the airport with us" I nodded and she left me alone in my room.

My mum was like my best friend. She understands how I feel in some situations and she knows how to help me. She's the one that's always had my back and now she's leaving for a long time.

I checked my phone and I had a missed call from Harry. I don't know if I'm in the mood to talk right now. I'll just explain everything tomorrow.
