At the door of my house his bright blue eyes pierced into my brown eyes and I could see he was about to cry. I turned my head and tried so hard not to cry. I was doing a pretty good job holding it in. He took his index finger and pulled my chin so we were face to face. "what now?" I said wiping the tears off his face. "Your my girlfriend and I dont want that to end because of a little distance" "I agree" I replied smiling. Maybe this thing could work out. "Your going to come out and say goodbye to me right?" "Of course.. I wouldnt miss it for the world." I hesitated but then put my arms around his torso and his went around my shoulders. We were holding eachother for at least five minutes but it felt like five seconds. I didnt want to kiss him until tomorrow so it would be something special that I could hold onto. "Good night Harmony.. I will see you tomorrow" "Bye" I faked a smile and blew him a kiss. He reached out and grabbed it out of the air and put it in his pocket. I think he did this to stop me from crying, but even that wouldnt stop me. I opened the door of the house and smiled at my parents playing scrabble. My mom smiled compassionately at me "How was it dear?" "I..it. it was great" it was so difficult to act happy when I would never be able to feel the warmth of his embrace for a long time. My mother knew I was upset because she asked me if I wanted to talk. I ran upstairs so my dad wouldnt have to see my cry. I thew myself onto my bed and just let it out. All of the emotions I had built up over these past few weeks were flowing out of me and I couldnt stop it anymore. She sat beside me and didnt say a word. She just rubbed my back. After a few minutes she asked me if I wanted to talk about it. I sat up and looked at the ground unable to speak at first. "Why did I do this to myself? I knew I was going to be feeling like this but I did it anyways. Thi is so hard. We are never going to see eachother ever again. Why did I let him in?" my mom continued to rub my back. Her soft touch felt comforting and it was just what I needed. "Shh.. if you two care about eachother, everything will work out in the end." Thanks mom" I said giving he a quick hug. I layed back down on the bed. The tears were non stop and my mom stayed with me until I had cried myself to sleep.
The next morning it was difficult to open my eyes because of last nights events. I looked over at my phone to see Niall texted me requesting to meet outside.
"Im going to miss you so much. Im really sad right now" I replied
"Dont be sad, I dont want to see you sad"
This almost triggered the water works but I held it in.. for him. I got dressed, made sure my necklace was still on, washed my face and grabbed the sweater I had repeatedly forgotten to give back. I walked down the stairs slowly not wanting to cry again. I saw my parents sitting on the couch but they didnt say a word, and neither did I. I opened the door slowly to just to see Niall standing on the path. I could help it. I ran into his arms and started bawling. I held him so right. I felt maybe if I held on we couldnt be torn apart. I looked up at him and he gave me a quick smile. "Dry your eyes, this isnt the end" I held out his sweater "Here I forgot.." "No, I want you to keep it. It looks better on you" he said forcing a smile. He took it from my hands and put it around me "See" he grinned. He always knew how to make me smile. "Im going to miss you so much Harmony" "Dont say goodbye" I relied softly "this isnt the end" "you got it.. see ya later clumsy" he gave me a quick smile and a laugh. "back at you blondie" I winked. He brought me into his warm embrace for what I knew was the last time for a while. I looked into his deep blue eyes for the last time and gave him a quick kiss which turned passionate. Holding eachother closely, lips locked for the last time. When we finally released I started to cry. "this isnt the end Harmony" he gave my hand a quick squeeze. "We're ready to go. The car is all packed" my mom said softly from behind me. "One second." I relplied as she walked away. "have a safe trip" Niall said still gripping to my hand for dear life "dont forget me." I cried sofly using the sleeves of his sweater to wipe the tears away. "Thats impossible" he said reaching out putting my hair behind my ear for the final time. I started to walk away trying not to look back. I arrived at the car and started to open the door. I turned to take a look at that Irish boy one more time. He shouted at the top of his lungs "I LOVE YOU HARMONY THOMPSON. I ALWAYS WILL"
