Present time(2018)

The song ends and I look at Gemma and smile.

"You know, even though we were broken up at the time, it was still some of the most laughable moments." I say laughing.

She laughs along with me nodding her head.

"I remember when Raine and I came back home, and we heard both of your sides of the story of Harry breaking into the apartment." She laughs through memories.

"You know I really do miss that dude, but I still cannot forgive him. I mean if I ever did, I don't think we would be anything more than friends anyway." I say changing the mood from happy to sad in less than ten seconds.

"Skyler, do you know what he told me when he was telling me his side to the story? He told me that at that moment in time, he wasn't at all worried about trying to convince you to death, to get back together with him. He said that he was only worried about keeping you safe, because he didn't know what he would do if he lost you for good." Gemma says to me.

I just look from her to my hands that are twiddling in my lap, because I don't know how to reply to that.

I yawn and look at the time on my phone.

"Oh gosh, it's 1:04 a.m." I say through a yawn.

"Let's make some coffee." Gemma says and gets up to go to my kitchen.

I tell her where the coffee pot is and she starts fixing the coffee for us both.

I sit there thinking.

Wondering.

What is he doing right now? I wonder. He is probably at some fancy luxury hotel or mansion asleep, while I'm stuck here, in South Carolina, listening to his music. At one in the morning. I mentally cringe at myself of how ridiculous this would look if he saw me right now.

My face is tear stained and mascara is dried on my cheeks. My eyes most likely are bloodshot from crying literally all day today. I am wearing a large t-shirt, and shorts that are covered with stains. He would definitely laugh if he saw me right now.

Gemma brings the coffee over to the couch where I am still sitting, and hands me one of the mugs that she is holding.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that Raine is coming over tomorrow, or I mean today I guess since it's past midnight. I hope that it's okay with you." She says.

"Is she really?! Oh my God I can't wait to see her."

"Yeah she wanted to come with me, but she couldn't leave work." Gemma informs me.

Raine is now a professional dancer on broadway just like she had always dreamed of being. She still lived in our old apartment back in New York.

"Well, I'm so excited that she could come at all. Just yesterday, I was so lonely now all my friends come and visit me." I laugh.

"Oh, come on we are not all of your friends." Gemma says waving me off.

I give her a "seriously" look and she them smiles innocently.

"Well maybe we are." She says in a small voice.

Suddenly, there is a buzzing coming from Gemma's pocket, and she pulls out her phone that is ringing.

She looks at it and whispers "it's him." Before answering it.

My heart is beating fast and I don't know what I will do if Gemma makes me talk to him. It is something she would most likely do to put me on the spot.

I bite my lip and listen to her talk, hoping that she doesn't hand me the phone.

"Hello?" She answers and then stops for him to talk. "Yeah" She says. "Oh my God! Really? That is amazing! Thank you so much Harry!" She practically yells into the phone. "Okay, yeah, alright bye."

She hangs up and I let out a deep breath just grateful she didn't mention being at my house or me at all.

"What was that about?" I ask her curious about what she got so excited about.

"Nothing important." She says and sits down on the couch beside me.

I take a sip out of my coffee that I had been waiting for to cool off.

"Sure, nothing important, but you practically peed your pants over whatever he said." I tell her laughing.

She still doesn't answer me though, she just smiles and takes a sip from her coffee.

I sigh and decide not to push her anymore I'm way too tired to argue or do anything at all.

"Okay Skyler, only one more song left to listen to, how are ya feeling?" She asks me smiling.

"Honestly?" I sigh again. "I really really really want to go to bed.

"Oh come on we have made it this far, one more won't kill you." She says all peppy.

"Fine." I grumble at her and pick up my phone.

"Okay prepare yourself though, this one is a little depressing, even for me." She says and then leans back to relax on the couch, putting her feet on my coffee table."

I clear my throat and She sighs and takes her feet off of my glass furniture.

I look at the very last song that is titled "From the Dining Table," And take a really long deep breath before clicking on the play button.

The guitar strumming sound fills my apartment on my speaker one last time as Harry starts singing.

A/N: Guys I absolutely can not believe that I am on the last song! This is so bittersweet, I don't know what to think. Don't worry though just because it is the last song don't believe that their story is over, because there will be more ;)

Love you all <3
