Strong // 1D

Chapter Twenty Four.

How has everyone's summer been? Well, mine has been boring, if you ask me.

You know how I had a goal to have 100 reads? Well, now it is 1000! We are getting pretty close to halfway, 468! Wow. That is more than 100 reads in a week!

I think you guys Will like this chapter. I spent a lot of time on it. It is a much different writing style from when I first started Strong.

For all of you awesome people, there is a picture on the side of Chloe! Isn't she so pretty?! I will probably have a picture of Tara on the next chapter!

I also spent a lot of time on finding a song that matches the chapter. Here is what I got: Aint it Fun by Paramore. If you don't know any of these songs, go look them up, if you want!

And, as always, Vomment!

Here is chapter 24!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Today is the day that we leave California. We leave the luxurious house that we have only been staying in for a week.

The boys had two more shows in San Jose, and Oakland. I feel like I have been in California for more than just a week. It kind of feels like a home now, for some reason.

" Got everything packed?" I hear someone say. I whipped my head around.

" Harry!" I say while clutching my heart. " When did you get here?!"

He chuckles.

" did I scare you?" He says with a smirk playing across his lips.

" A little," I say more calmly.

" Oops."

There are those dimples again.

I closed my suitcase, and zipped it.

" Just one last thing before we go?" I ask.

" Sure."

I walk over to my bed and fall into it. I lay my hands out, like a bird. I take in the feel of the soft covers against my skin. Why do I have to leave this beautiful place? I wish I could stay here forever. With all of the boys, just stay here and forget all of the problems in the world. The linens smell like home, cherry blossoms. I let my body slowly sink lower and lower into the cloud-like bed.

Harry lands on the bed, too, with a soft thud. Butterflies form in my stomach. They always do when I am close to him.

He looks over at me. His dark brown curly hair is effortlessly sweeping back. He is so handsome.

" I wish we could stay here forever." I murmur as I gaze into his emerald green eyes.

He shifts his body and wraps his arm around my back. I wrap my arm so it is gently touching his shoulder.

He leans closer, and connects our lips. I expected for him to do it longer, but he pulls back.

" I love you." He whispers.

Its amazing how just three words can change a persons life.

I don't know if I should say it back. I mean, we have only known each other for a short amount of time. Does he really love me?

Those thoughts linger in my head.

" How long have we known each other?" I question.

He thinks it through.
