Shattered {Sequel to Deranged}

Chapter 16

Sky's POV

"Yes. I'm sorry I won't be returning to work. I've moved to America so I have no way to work there" I told my boss over the phone. Totally unprofessional I know but I'm leaving the country so I doubt it'll affect me in America.

With my bags I had filled and Luna in hand I made my way back to the airport. When I ended the call with Harry I knew I had to go home. Even if that meant having to come back.

I missed him more than anyone could ever imagine. Which is funny considering we were apart for a year and now I can't last two days without seeing him.

Seeing his beautiful curls that I loved to twirl around my finger or his green eyes I seemed to easily wander away and get lost in.

The things like that, that no one else could make me feel.

Only him.

After my mom made the daring decision to show up in my kitchen, I felt the craving for Harry's arms to safely secure me and hold me close.

He was my only and my everything.

He's all I need. I don't need her or anyone else besides Harry.

Harry and I seemed to coincidentally fall into each other paths when we needed someone most, whether we admit it or not. To think back to then when I was so lonely and rejected anyone who came within 5 feet of me, is a dark road I never want to go down again.

Harry and I were like a see-saw. Before him I was left to sit at the bottom.

Alone.

Depressed.

Then when he came and sat at the other end I was lifted. Lifted high into that air and embraced by him. With both of us on each side we balanced it out.

Alone we never would've made it. Together, there's nothing we couldn't do.

Harrys POV

Being as I wouldn't be moving back to London and North Carolina was seeming pretty much like home, I joined a gym.

Obviously fighting is a way for me to relieve stress and take my mind out of the world for awhile. It was no longer a career so much as it was a hobby which turned out to work in my benefit. Sky would no longer have to worry about me and stress which meant we wouldn't have to argue over that area of my life again.

But to my dissatisfaction the gym was closed for repairs on the day I had off. So I was left clueless on what to do.

The beach was too far.

It was raining anyway. So that meant no running either.

America seemed interesting from London but now that I've been here awhile it's just a bore. So I was left with very little options on how to spend my lonely rainy day in.

Sky had left some of her stuff in my room and being the scrutinizing childish person I am...I snooped.

I pulled back when a lace thing flew out. I had no desire to see what it was so I just distantly threw it back in her bag. My peeking drew to an end and I zipped up the bag, but stopped halfway when something reflecting caught my eye.

It was a movie. The Notebook.

The cover said "put it back or you'll lose every last inch of manliness you have" but I ignored that and put it in the DVD player. I had nothing better to do with my life.

•••••

3 hours later I decided to go for a run because the rain quite, and try to gain any masculinity back after I may or may not have spilled some tears at the end of that movie.

But Sky will and does not need to know that.

I turned my back to the street to lock the door to my apartment. When I turned back around I was greeted by James. The person I least expected to see. "Harry Styles..." He smirked. I stayed silent.

My breath wasn't worth wasting on him.

"Get off my porch and out of my way retard" I said shoving him aside. "Where's Sky?"

"What do you mean James? Don't you know?"

He looked at me asking "Know what?"

"She's in London. Looking for you. She chose you James"

I looked down at my nikes and kicked the ground with them. "Oh my gosh! I'm so dumb! How did I not realize that! Of course she loves me. Why would she love you anyways" he laughed. "Better be going Lad. She's waiting"

James took off faster than ever before and as soon as his scrawny figure disappeared I busted a guy laughing.

His face was worth every second of that lie.

That one if definitely one for the books let me tell you!

I laughed the entire run through the park which attracted many glares from less than desirable "people", but screw it.

I'm assuming Sky will call or text when she's getting ready to land because I have NO clue when she took off or when she'll be here. It's approximately a 8 hour trip from London to North Carolina I think.

So if she left right after she called me she should be in... By the middle of the night... Darn.

Anything for Sky though.

Sky's POV

Harry wasn't exactly the most... Organized person in the world. So I knew he wouldn't know what time I was landing.

When the flight attendant passed by me I pulled out my phone and typed Harry a quick message.

*Harry <3: I'll see you in 1 hour ;)*

️That let him know I was an hour away but still made him think that I thought he knew what time to be there. Just to let him hold onto that little bit of pride.

When I get back I wanna catch up. Like what's he been up too? Has he seen anybody? What ever happened to him when he left me that day?

That day was horrible. I so vividly remember that horrid feeling that twisted in my mind and stomach as he turned his back to me and walked away. He had rebuilt me but when he left I felt partially destroyed again. I didn't know if I'd ever see his face again or feel his flawless curls in my fingers.

It was quite honestly the worst time of my life.

Now that we've moved past all that and we're together again there's one question that's eating at me.

Since our lips met and I knew I had to be with him that questions been pushing its way to the surface.

How are we safe in America? If Harry is suspected for anything and they find out he's here it won't end well. In his defense he only shot that guy because he was going or at least threatening to hurt me.

Obviously Harry wasn't going to let that happen.

Technically he can't be charged with anything like murder when it was self defense.

I just hope Harry is safe and stays safe.

Because I can't lose him again. And if I ever did I know I would lose it and it wouldn't be recoverable.
