 "Harry?" I knocked. No answer.

 I quietly opened the door to find him asleep, his phone beside him. 

 His eyes had dark circles under them and were puffy. Even in his sleep he looked exhausted. I felt a lump rise in my throat at the sight of the boy I loved looking broken and vulnerable. 

 I kneeled beside his bed, running my hand over his tired face. Slowly, his eyes fluttered open. 

 "Skylar?" He said in disbelief, sitting up in bed. 

 "Hey, babe." I said, quietly. "I kinda missed you." 

 A grin spread across his face and he hurriedly pulled me into his arms. 

 "I'm so sorry for hurting you. I promise I won't ever do it again." He said into my hair. I hugged him back, harder, accepting his apology. 

 He pulled me to sit beside him on the bed and held my hand, just smiling at me.

 "So..what now?" I asked, afraid of his answer. 

 "Well..." He said, looking thoughtful. "I think this whole pretend girlfriend thing is completely overrated." He paused, sending me a cheeky grin.

 I waited for him to continue. "So why not make it real?"

 I smiled and he kissed me. I'd never felt happier.
