(A/N: I apologize for this taking so long. Things have been extremely hectic in my life and I feel terrible. I'm going to make it a goal of mine to work more on this fic and hopefully make a few of you happy with some more updates. Thanks for sticking around guys and helping this reach 6k! PLEASE vote I'm one away from 100 votes. Let's gooo!)

*Harry's POV*

I'm not sure what happened. 

It all happened too fast but I have no regrets. None. For the past few years I have been fighting off a self-thought I was too scared to admit to myself. That I, Harry, was actually very much infatuated with my next door neighbor. That all the girls I attempted to date would never be like her. Never understand me or even the stupidest, laugh at my lame jokes. I don't know why it took me so long... Maybe I was actually scared but you know what? Sometimes you just need to suck up your fears and just do something. Be a bigger person and take that step. Sure, it could have turned worse but here I am dating the most beautiful, genuine, and sweetest person I have ever met. My best friend.

The past few days have been something I want the rest of my life. I know it's too soon to be saying things but this feels right. I have this gut feeling in my stomach and this pounding in my chest that all feels far too real and I just want to do everything to make her smile. I want to make her feel special and prove to her how much I really mean what I say to her. I get that she's hesitant because of my past but this... This is so much more different. 

I'm taken away from my thoughts when she turns in my arms facing up at me, "You're not asleep?" 

I laughed quietly shaking my head, pulling her body closer to me. "No, not yet."

"Is everything okay?" Her head tilts up towards me in a curious motion.

With a nod and sigh, I smile. "Of course. Just thinking."

"Oh..." Mads sucks in her bottom lip pushing away her questions when her hand touches my hip.

"Just... Just good things, you know?"

"I don't." She laughed quietly peeking back up at me while her hand trailed towards my tattoos.

"Shut up." Laughing I shrug, "It's just crazy how things happen."

She leans into my chest her head nuzzled between my triceps and chest, "I'm happy."

"Are you?"

"More than anything."

"Why didn't you ever say anything?"

"You don't date... Remember?" She laughed raising her eyebrow.

"I know but you're an exception."

"Obviously."

"I guess with everything going on lately. I've realized how much you mean to me. How, I just want to finally have that thing with you before you leave. I didn't want to watch you go and live your life, without knowing how I really feel." I admit quietly my hand running through her long hair.

I can feel her smile against my chest as her hand traces my swallows, "I know... But, I don't know. Maybe you could come with me."

"What?" I can't help but stop the movement of my hand as she talks.

"Well... If everything goes well. I don't know. Maybe you could come to New York with me."

"I can't just leave everything here, Mads. It's not that easy."

"It's not  that easy leaving you either." Her hands stops moving and she leans off to face me.

"It'd be amazing to go with you. Leave this place and live my life with you in the city. But... I can't just pick up and leave. I don't even have a stable job or nor am I going to school."
