Confused Love

The Goodbye

2018

This was it, the day Harry was leaving his family forever as he wanted to become a music teacher in Australia to get away from his fame.

"Bye mum, Gemma, I love you guys." He said as he teared up. He took one last glance around his childhood home, quickly reliving all the memories he made on every birthday, every holiday, and every moment he spent with his family.

His sister, Gemma began crying, "Bye Harry, please visit us!" She yelled back while waving goodbye.

Harry hugged his family one last time before he jumped in the Uber to go to the airport. As the hour long journey began, he found himself crying once again as the nerves and the sadness of not seeing his family for a long time kicked in. Harry tired distracting himself by attempting small talk with the Uber driver but then turned his attention to his window to watch the other cars and nature pass by him which helped him relax.

Harry arrived at the airport where he met all his friends, especially his two best of friends that he has known since the beginning of time, Liam and Niall.

"Harold, we will miss you Buddy." His friend Liam said through slight sobs while reaching for a hug.

"Hey! Let me join." Niall demanded as he grabbed the two in for a group hug.

"Hey Harry, we will see you again, go make some new friends and tell us all about them!" Liam reassured while waving goodbye.

"Will do, bye guys." Harry finally managed to say.

After several hugs and goodbyes, Harry started walking towards the plane, he was never good with flying.

Suddenly, Harry felt a soft tap on his shoulder, "Just relax, you will be fine." He heard a soft voice from behind him.

"Was it that obvious?" Harry questioned the man with laughter.

"I guess it was." The brown-haired man laughed and then turned his gaze down to the plane ticket that Harry held. "Hey, look at that! We are seat partners." The man said while pointing to Harry's ticket.

They hopped on the plane, Harry on the window side while the man he just met sat beside him. Harry took a few deep breaths as the plane started to take off.

"I never got your name?" Harry asked the stranger.

"Oh sorry, my name is Nick, what about you?"

"Harry." He replied back with a smile.

The boys became really good friends, they had discussions over everything they could imagine. They ended up lost in conversation as Harry had fallen asleep while Nick remained awake to watch a movie that was playing.

"Wake up Harry, we are here." Nick whispered into Harry's ear while gently shrugging him awake.

Harry shot straight up and saw that the plane was getting closer and closer with the ground. Plane landings were the worst part of the whole ride for Harry, but he just looked away from the window. Nick helped Harry out of his seat and then they walked towards the airport gate.

"Here we are! My friends are over there I'll be right back." Nick said as he happily skipped over to greet his friends.

Harry stood in the airport, he noticed that nothing looked alike to his home town, Holmes Chapel. Harry called a taxi and started to grab his luggage until Nick interrupted him.

"Hey, I'm staying at a really nice hotel, you should stay there too... that is unless you already are staying somewhere." He offered and Nick wrote down the address for him as well as exchanged phone numbers.

He needed to stay at a hotel anyway as he didn't have anywhere to stay so he figured it was a great idea since he would know someone. Harry never bothered looking for a house to buy or rent before his arrival as he did some plenty of money to use and wanted to enjoy his first few days without worrying about moving.

Harry checked in the hotel and decided to call his mum once he placed his many bags down inside the room.

"Hey mum, I'm in Australia!" He cheered with joy.

"That's great, I'm missing you already." His mother responded, she was happy for her son.

Harry hated that he left, he missed his family too, but he knew it was best for him to start over and forget about Louis Tomlinson.
