"I'm going to the gym today." Harry says as he walks around my room. "Can I come?" I ask. "Yeah, sure you can. If you can get out of the covers now." He says and I stretch myself out and sat down and stood up. I turn to the mirror and shook my hair and Harry stands beside me.

"My eyes are small." I say. "That's because you just woke up." He says and wraps me in his arms and kisses my cheek with a smile. "Did you eat my muffin?" I asked him and he laughs. "Do I smell like it?" He asks. "Yeah. I bought them yesterday. Did you?!" I look at him and his face was blank. "Seriously? That was the last muffin in the fridge!" I say to him. It was a special muffin since I struggled to buy it in the bakery. "It was delicious!" Harry says with a massive smile. "Please don't smile like that." I say and he just continued smiling. "I struggled to get that muffin." I say and he laughs. "Struggled?" He asks with a laugh and I walk to my closet. "Yeah. Yesterday me and Ellie bought that." "I thought it was for me." Harry says and I don't know if he's joking or not. "Are you mad?" He asks me and he was still smiling. "It was my muffin." I say. "I'll buy you loads later if you want to." He says and I stop looking through my clothes. "And ice cream." I add. "Yeah, anything you like." He says. "Okay. I'll be fine. Let's go to the gym." I say and we get dressed.

Harry drove to the gym. It has been a long time since I last came here, maybe months but then I decided to spend my Sunday with Harry in the gym.

"Good day, Mr. Styles." The woman on the front desk says. There aren't much people in the gym. "I'm with my girl." He says and the woman smiled to me.

We started to work on some gym equipment and I was just looking stupid again but glad I have Harry, we just laughed and gym has never been fun like this before.

After two hours of working out, I gave up and Harry is about to finish.

"Babe, I'll get some shakes. Would you like some?" I ask him. "Sure." He nods as he steps down the treadmill. I ordered for some shakes and while waiting, I went on Twitter.

"Gym for the first time in months. Oh."

I tweeted.

"So you normally don't go to the gym? @tarashaw"

"@shiplarrystylinson yeah I like sleeping a lot but decided to be with someone today! Xx"


I replied and decided to change my clothes now while waiting for out shakes. Then, I take our shakes and walked back to Harry who was talking with two girls. I pause for a moment as I look at them talking and smiling and Harry nods and leads them to the treadmill and helps them out. He's not an instructor. I walk towards him and gave him his shake but then asked me to put it down on the table. I sat down and he continued to talk with the girls. I look at his eyes who were just smiling and my nerves suddenly told me to get the hell of him out there.

"Harry, let's go." I say and he looks at me. He says goodbye to them. "Tara, wait, am I not going to take my shake?" He asks and I just walked straight away not caring about him. I'll just wait in the car park.

Good that he follow but I wasn't pleased yet. He opens the car and I quickly get in.

"So...It was intense. You had fun?" He says as he takes his shirt off and wore a new one. I remained silent. He shakes his hair and started to drive. "Uh, why do you look so upset?" He asks me. "I'm just tired." I lie and looked away. "Really?" He asks. "Not really." I mumble. "What did you say?" He asks. "Well, I was just bothered when you flirted with those girls." I honestly tell him then since I can't hold it anymore.

"I wasn't flirting with them." "Yes, you were." I insist. "I was...I was just helping them." He adds. "Oh, helping? But your eyes were smiling." I say. "I swear I wasn't flirting with them. They're our fans, of course I've got to entertain them." Harry answers. "By flirting?" "I was not flirting!" He says as he looked mad and we exactly stopped at the car park. I immediately went out of his car and he was calling me but I didn't care to look at him.

I walked inside my room and to the bathroom to get a nice warm shower and as soon as I'm finished, I walked back to my room and Harry was talking with someone on the phone.

I let my hair dry as I settle down on my bed while watching television.

"Tara, I'm sorry I shouted at you." He says and sits beside me and I increase the volume of the telly. "Tara." He calls me but I won't look. "You just kept on insisting that I flirted with them but I really didn't. I promise." Harry tried to convince me. "Are we really going to argue...or fight about this?" He asks and I lay my head down to the pillow, my back facing him.


"So you're asking me if you could type that Harry should tell you the truth?" Ellie asks and I'm begging her. "Yeah. I'm really uncomfortable now." I say and she hums. "What's with the humming? Are you allowing me now?" I excitedly ask. "No. You gotta try to solve that." She says. "You're being so harsh." "Let me be the queen for a few weeks." She says and I giggled. "I shouldn't over act when he said sorry. I feel so embarrassed. I don't know how to talk to him anymore. I need my cheat." I say. "Just talk to him. How many days were the both of you not talking?" Ellie asks. "Today's the second. I miss him." "What about when you both sleep?" "He comes home late from meetings for their tour." I answer. "Is he at home?" Ellie asks and I sat on my bed. "Not yet. Maybe in a while. What am I going to do?" I ask and Ellie paused. "Ellie?" "Just talk to him." She says and I know her mouth had food. "I have less than three months." I reply and I try to hold my tears. "That's still long." She said. "Ellie." "Tara, you can do it, love." Ellie says and I heard the front door open. "He's home now." I say and wiped my tears. "Talk to him. He'll understand you." Ellie says and I hang up. I stand from my bed and walked towards the door. I twist the knob open but someone pulls it and it's Harry.

"Oh." I walked to my desk and pretended that I was looking for something. I sniffed and looked at him. He puts his wallet, phone, and keys on the table beside the bed. I walked towards the door and think if ever I should ask him if he had dinner.

I turn to him and he looks at me. "Have you taken dinner?" I say as I hold my tears. He was silent while he looks at me, maybe studying my face. I looked away. "Have you taken dinner?" I repeat. His eyes goes down to my neck as he looks at the necklace he gave me. I wear it every day.

"I did." He answers. "Okay." I say and walked outside the room and to the kitchen. I pulled a microwave meal and didn't had to control my tears anymore. "Oh sh^t." I say as I looked up and placed my meal inside the microwave. I turn to the wall and silently cried my heart out.

Why is this happening? Why do we have to fight this time? Remembering that I have less than three months plus one and a half has been cut by Ellie. I want out last weeks to be happy. I want to feel Harry with me in a few weeks not knowing what would happen after I finish the story. All I want is that he will remember everything we had if possible. If possible...

"Stop crying." He suddenly whispers to me as he hugs me from behind. "I'm not." I say and just simply wiped my tears like nothing happened. "You were whimpering." Harry says and I turn to him for a hug. "Harry." I say and suddenly cried my heart out on his chest. He rubs my back and I wanted to stop crying but I tighten my hug to him. "I'm sorry for crying." I say to him and he wipes my tears with his thumb. "Are you too?" I say and he smiles as a tear feel from his eye. "Don't... Harry, you know how I feel when you cry." I say and held his face. "I'm sorry. I miss you so much." he says. "Harry. Do. Not. Cry!" I say because he's just making me worse. Seeing him cry makes me very weak.

I just pressed my lips to his so he would just stop those tears falling down. It lasted for a minute until my microwave meal stops.

"I just want to spend the happiest moments with you know. Please." He tells me and maybe he did read my mind. "That's just what I wanted." I say and he embraces me inside his arms.


It was Wednesday and Harry and I were already in a very great mood. "What time?" He asks. "Three." I say and he nods. "See you later." He says with a smile and I walked away.

I really want to travel with him since he had his holiday but I have to be in the uni.

I told Ellie that we're fine now and she felt chuffed when I told her about dealing with Harry with no cheat. Well, it does work and everything that happens are absolutely fine.

Afternoon, after my class, I walked back to the car park to meet Harry. He was there and I waved to him while walking towards him.

"Tara!"

Someone shouts my name before I get  inside the car. I turn and it's Calum. What does he want now? I look at Harry and he walked out of the car and we both walked to Calum.

I looked at Harry and he was just calm yet he wasn't smiling. I can't see his eyes since he had his sunglasses on him.

"Oh, hi." Calum looks at Harry and back to me. "It' nice to see you." He adds to Harry. "What is it? We're in a hurry." I ask him. "I came here for Harry. Ah, mate, I'm really sorry for what happened before and I just want to apologise." He says to him and I look at Harry. "Babe, let's go." I mumble. "Just make sure you won't hurt anyone anymore. Especially, my girl." He says and I was surprised. "Yeah. I'm just really sorry, mate." He reaches his hand out to Harry and he accept it. "Good." He says. "I guess I have to go now. I have to catch up in a gig with my mates later. See you again." Calum says and walks away.

We walked back in the car and Harry asks me where I wanted to go.

"Does the cinema sound good?" I ask him. "Yeah, sure. Where else you wanna go?" He asks as he started to drive. "Uhm, I don't know. It's up to you." I say and he just smiles.

I turn the radio on and exactly an Ed Sheeran song plays. I fangirled at the moment.

"Oh my. It's The A Team." I say and my fangirling self became bloody active again. "Is Ed here?" I ask Harry and he shakes his head. "He's on tour. With someone." He answers and I smiled. "With someone." I repeat with a light laugh. "What?" He looks at me and back to the road. "Nothing." I smiled.

Harry parks his car and we went down to buy some tickets. He holds my hand and we both walked to the ticket counter.

It was an action and romance kind of movie in where there are these agents who were looking for a girl that has been lost in some place. The movie was good for two hours and after we had dinner in a restaurant. I was full with all the popcorn and candy that Harry bought but he still wanted to eat.

We then went home. Had a nice warm shower before going to bed. After drying my hair, I lay back beside him at bed while watching telly.

"Are you going to sleep right away?" He asks me. "I'm tired." I say and yawn. I put the covers over me and Harry turns the television and lamp off. He pulls me and wraps me inside his warmth.

"Can we just pause time and stay like this forever? You know. Not worrying about anything but just have each other and not care about the world." I say and turn to him. "I sometimes just like to cuddle you and sleep the whole day." I add. "I really like to wake up next to you." Harry says. "You're my happiness, you know that? You just light up my world---" "Baby, you light up my world like nobody else." I sang and he laughs. "But you seriously do. We'll be back on tour on June and I know it is Summer so, I would like you to come with me." He says and I just want to hit myself right now. June is where I the books should be printed or released.

"Harry." "Mmm?" "What if tomorrow..." "What if?" "What if tomorrow we just let go of each other?" "Ah, don't say that. I'm never letting you go." He says as he embraces me tightly. "I'll never let you go." He kisses my cheek and he falls to sleep as my tears silently rushed down my face.
