Thank goodness it's Saturday. I bury myself more into Harry's chest making him chuckle. I look up to see him staring down at me with that bright smile I love.

"Morning baby." He says kissing my forehead.

"Morning." I say smiling.

"I love waking up like this, with you in my arms." He says in his husky morning voice.

"I love it too." I say kissing his arm.

"How are you feeling now?" He asks me, propping his elbows on the comfortable mattress.

"Better, thank you for being with me." I say kissing his jaw.

"Anything, anytime, just for you." He says kissing my forehead.

"Harry?" I ask him.

"Hm?" He asks playing with my hair.

"I'm hungry." I say making him laugh.

"Okay go shower or something and I'll make us breakfast." He says kissing me one last time before leaving.

I shower and put on my clothes. I smile and grab my makeup bag before going downstairs. I'm starving I'll just do my makeup downstairs, Harry's aunt isn't here still.

"Baby you don't need makeup really." He says as he watches me enter.

"Harry." I say with a smile before sitting down at the stool near the island of the kitchen.

I finish my makeup when Harry arrives with our breakfast.

"I like the ring on your finger." He says as I slip the ring on my finger.

"Just wait till you have one too." I say making him smile.

"Two more years?" He asks.

"In two more years." I say making him smile widely.

"I love you so damn much." He says kissing my hand.

"I love you too, a lot." I say smiling.

I hear the doorbell and Harry mouths 'I'll get it'. I nod and he leaves the kitchen.

"Bethany?" My mom's voice sounds from the living room.

"Mom?" I ask standing up and walking to the living room.

I see my mom standing at the entrance. I smile and hug her tightly.

"I'm so sorry Bethany." She says, running her fingers through my hair.

"It's okay." I say softly.

"I have some news." She says.

"What?" I ask.

"You'll have a day with your dad and we are moving to Seattle in two weeks." She says excited.

"What?!" Harry and I say at the same time.

"No mom! What about Harry?" I ask worriedly backing away from her.

"Beth this is a teenage love, the proposal was cute and stuff but it's time to step back into reality."

"No! Mom I love him, for real." I say choking, tears about to fall from my eyes.

"Mrs. Rossetti please don't do this." Harry says sadly.

"Please don't take her away from me, she's the best thing that's happened in my entire life. I've always been to parties and trying to get myself back to London. Now I don't because wherever Bethany is I want to be there too. I can't go, what will my aunt think? Please don't do this." He pleads.

"I'm sorry Harry, we are leaving." She says gabbing my wrist.

"No, you're leaving." I say angrily pulling myself off her grip.

"Bethany. Let's. Go. Now." She says sternly.

"I just made friends, a lovely boyfriend, and I'm happy now. Why are you taking me away?" I say, tears freely rolling down my cheeks.

"Bethany I'm leaving in two weeks, either you come or you are on your own. Good luck paying school, or even college." She says leaving.

The door closes and silence is all there is.

"I'm so sorry Harry, I have to go. These months have been amazing but who will pay for my things? I need to go." I say walking towards the door.

"Bethany don't leave me, stay at least with me?" He says.

I sigh and turn around to him.

"Okay.." I say walking into his arms.

I cry softly, wetting his black shirt.

I hold her in my arms and rub her back. I need to ask my aunt if she can maintain Bethany too. She could be here, with us. I don't want to tell her yet because I don't know if my aunt will say yes. I need to make these last two weeks special for her if my aunt won't let her stay.

"Beth, I'm sorry." I say stroking her hair.

"It's okay, my mom's like that." She says.

"Let's enjoy these last two weeks and see what happens, we will figure it out okay?" I say and she nods.

"I won't let her take you away so easily, you're mine remember?" I tell her and she laughs softly, nodding.

"Yes, are you mine?" She asks.

"I'm all yours baby." I say kissing the top of her head, the familiar strawberry scent from her hair filling my nose.

I love her scent, I love her eyes, her smile, her laugh, her dimples, everything about her is perfect. I love her too much to let her go, she can't leave. I'll never leave her. I'll always be with her.
