*FLORENCE POV*

Hannah and I arrived at home. I run to my room and cry for awhile. After that I fell asleep, tired of crying. Sweet dreams Florence..

“I promise.” He said.

I woke up with the sound of stupid alarm clock. My eyes which have big, black bags under it. I felt good after yesterday. But then, a part of me felt different. I’m still missing him. I got dressed and went downstairs. Hannah is still sleeping, so I made breakfast and eat. After that I went to my job.

The café is busy today, there are lots of people staying and eating their lunch. No sign of him, No sign of any famous celebrity today. I was busy making drinks that I didn’t notice someone would like to order.

“1 hot chocolate please.” The guy said. I got his payment and gave him his change. But he refuses to take it.

I look up and to my surprise he was here. Harry was here. Why?

“Can I talk to you?” He asked, the entire customer starting to get pissed.

“Move. I’m busy.” I said not looking at him.

“Please?” He asked as he does the puppy dog face. How can I resist those eyes? Ugh!

“Why would I even talk to you? You’ve done enough.” I responded.

“Because I have your necklace.” He winks and takes his tongue out. Like a 5 year old boy...typical Harry.

“Fine! After I’m done with my work.” I shouted.

My work was done and I don’t really want to talk to him. I only want my necklace back. But why would I even want the necklace back if I didn’t care at all. Is it because I loved him? Is it because I STILL care about him?

“What are we going to talk about?” I asked as I stood up in front of him.

“Can we talk somewhere in private?” He asked. I raise an eyebrow on him while my arms are crossed on my chest.

“Fine.” I said.

He grabbed my hands, and our fingers are linked together again. We went out of the café and all the paparazzi showed up. All the girls started screaming. I can feel their eyes trying to stab me. I’m scared of tight places. I’m claustrophobic, that's a truth. I didn't move to where I'm standing. Harry  then grabbed my hand and pulls me out of the crowd. Phew!

“You okay?” He asked curiously.

“Yeah, claustrophobic.” I said as I breathe in and out.

We went to his car where we can talk in private.

“Now, what are we talking about?” I asked not looking at him.

“I’m so sorry Flor, I didn’t mean to.” He apologized.

I didn’t speak; I can’t forgive him like that. Even if I want to, it won’t be easy to forgive someone who didn’t remember you.

“I miss you so much.” He sighed as he looked into my eyes. Finally, I spoke up.

“I miss you too Harry. But…” I paused as I took a deep breath. “You broke a promise, our promise. You told me you won’t forget about me, but you did. You forgot our friendship. You promised.” My tears are falling on my cheeks, I can’t help it. He wraps me around his chest and hugs me very tight. I miss his tight embrace and his strong cologne. I can feel his breathing. It felt like it was yesterday, when I cried in the park then he came to comfort me. It felt amazing to be back.

“I’m so, so sorry Flor. Sorry for breaking our promise. Sorry for everything.” He apologized as his stroke my hair. All I can do is cry into his chest and soak it again with my tears.

“Why did you stop sending me messages?” I looked up and asked him. My eyes were glued to his emerald ones.

“I was busy rehearsing when I’m in The X Factor. I’m really sorry.” He again apologized, I caught his eyes starting to water.

“Oh.” I sighed.

We came into five minutes of silence as I pulled out of his embrace. I looked down and squeezed my hands. I want to punch him; I want him to hurt like what he did to me. But I can’t. I continued crying till my eyes were swollen. Harry holds my hand and squeezed it. I look at him and again, my eyes were glued to his. He started leaning on me, about to kiss me but I refuse. I turned my head to the other side. Why is he even doing this? Does he have feelings for me too?

“Why are you doing this Harry?” I asked.

“Cause I love you.” He said.

He loves me? Harry must be drunk, how can he even love me? How can someone love me? I’m ugly. I’m boring. I’m nobody.

“No, you don’t. I’m ugly Harry, how can you even love me?” I asked my tone starting get high.

“That’s the problem with you Florence! You don’t trust yourself; you don’t see how beautiful you are. I loved you before you cried last time in the park. I always wanted to be in your side, I wanted to take care of you. I’ve always loved you Flor. You’re one special girl, you’re unique, and you’re beautiful in your own special way. You’re different from all the girls I’ve met; you’re far from all the girls I’ve dated. You’re simple, you’re—” Before he even finish his speech. I kissed him, my lips on his. Our lips met for the first time. My heart’s beating fast, hoping that he didn’t feel it. It felt like there are butterflies inside my stomach. It felt like the world is blurring because I’m with him. Those imaginary fireworks when we kiss. We have our own world. Not alone, but with him. I felt I’m the luckiest girl in the world. Our eyes glued to each other. His hand stroking my hair.

“I loved you too; I’ve always loved you when we’re still young. You’re more than a friend to me. You were my first love until today. You will still be my Harry. I didn’t confess to you because I know that you’ll leave me. I’m afraid to be alone. I’m afraid that you won’t tell me you love me back, I was scared Harry. I’m so sorry.” And with that my feelings inside my stomach was removed. I finally told Harry all the feelings I’ve been keeping him. I felt relieved. He hugged me tight and our lips meet again. Our kiss was passionate and romantic.

My worries are gone. I don’t have to worry anymore. I couldn’t ask for more, I was happy to have Harry back. My best friend is back; my first love is back. He is back...
