Chapter 28: Larry

A Few Days Later...

Sam's P.O.V.

"It feels like you just got here now you're leaving."

"I wish I could stay longer but I have to get back to the studio."

"I know." I replied as I traced his rose tattoo on his arm. Harry has to be at the airport at three o'clock. Three hours that's all the time I have left with him before he leaves. The last few days, Harry and I squeezed in everything we talked about doing while he was here. I showed him more of where I grew up, we went snow tubing with some of John's friends, we went bowling yesterday with John, and the rest of the time we just sat around and talked about everything and anything. My phone buzzed. I picked it up. It was Bryan's pickup team captain reminding us of our game tonight. Yeah, I'm playing on the pick up team now. That was the thing Bryan wanted to tell me at my game the other night.

Harry and I were just about to leave when I heard someone call me.

"Hey Sam!" I turned around to see Bryan approaching us.

"Hey! What are you still doing here?" I asked.

"I wanted to watch the game. Great game by the way. You had some really nice shots."

"Thanks, Bry." I replied.

"You should really try playing forward if there's an outdoor team in the spring."

"I don't know. Who are you going to bother back on defense then if I move up?"

"Oh I'm still going to bother you don't you worry." He replied making me shake my head.

"Oh Bryan this is Harry. Harry this is Bryan." I said introducing them.

"It's nice to meet you." Harry said putting his hand out. Bryan shook it.

"You too." Bryan replied then looked back at me.

"Hey, the thing I wanted to tell you is that my pickup team wanted to know if you would like to join the team? They were pretty impressed with you the other night."

"Heck yeah I would love to join." I replied.

"Awesome. Is it cool if I give Ed your number?"

"Yeah. That's fine." I replied.

"Cool. I think our next game is Friday night at eight. I'll text you the schedule."

"That would be great. Thanks, Bryan. I guess I'll see you Friday then."

"See you there. Nice meeting you, Larry." Bryan said before going back towards the stands. I couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't like him." Harry said opening the door.

"Oh calm down, Larry." I said as we exited the arena.

I quickly replied to him then I set my phone back down.

"Is there anything you want to do?" Harry asked. I just shook my head.

"Come here." He said raising his arm. I moved closer so I could rest my forehead against his neck. He put his arm around me.

"I wish I could go with you." I said.

"It's only a few months, love." He replied. Harry and I just stayed like this for the next few hours. He just held me in his arms as we talked.

"What do you want to see when you come to London with me?" He asked.

"I want to see everything, Styles. I've been dreaming about going to London for as long as I can remember. There are so many things I want to see." I replied.

"I would really like to see where you grew up." I added.

"We should be able to go for a weekend." He replied.

"I can't wait." I replied. I heard my Mom coming so I sat up as did Harry. I know that means it's time to go.

I went with Harry in his rental car. My Mom followed. He returned his car at the renters then we went to the airport. My mom said goodbye to Harry then she got back in the car so I could say goodbye. I went in the airport with him going to the line for security check. My throat burned from holding back my tears.

"I hate saying goodbye." I said. He set his bag down then pulled me in for a hug.

"I hate leaving you too. If I can come visit beforehand I'll be on the first plane here." He said. I held onto him tight not wanting to let go but he eventually pulled back to kiss my forehead.

"And no surprises when you come back. I want to be here at the airport waiting for you." I said.

"I like surprising you." He replied. I just shook my head.

"I don't know how I can put up with you, Styles."

"It's because we love each other, Springs." He said picking his bag up and putting the long strap on his shoulder. He kissed me. It was slow and tender as we intertwined our lips together. His tongue lightly tagged mine before he stopped and pulled back.

"That makes us even." He said. I hugged him one more time.

"I love you."

"I love you." I replied back.

"Have a safe trip." I said before I turned to walk away. I watched him go through security. He waved before leaving security to go to his gate. I waved back. Then he was gone that's when the big tears escaped my eyes. I turned around and started back to my Mom. I wiped my tears away trying to calm myself before I got back to the car. It's okay. It's only a few months. You'll see him soon. Once I exited the airport I went over to where my Mom was parked and got in. I sat for a second before putting my seat belt on.

"You okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied. She pulled out from the curb getting back on the road. I watched the airport become smaller and smaller in the side view mirror. Bye Harry. See you in a few months.
