Chapter 37

Harry's POV

(It's now October)

I pace back and force through the living room as I contemplate whether to call Sophia or not.

"Are you okay?" Liam asks when he passes by me.

"No, I'm so nervous to see Sophia again. I'm afraid I'll mess up like last time." I run my hands through my hair and sigh heavily.

"It's okay mate, just call her." Liam shrugs and I nod.

I mouth a thanks to him when he walks out of the room and I pick up my phone.

"Hello?" Her beautiful voice rings in my ear.

"Uh, hey Sophia."

"Oh hi Harry, what's up?" She perks up and I smile to myself.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to know if you would want to go out tonight?" I say with little confidence.

"Sure. I'd love too." She giggles.

"Okay I'll pick you up at 6." We talk for a bit more until she hangs up.

My body falls onto my bed and I stare up at the sealing. It's already about 5 o'clock so I decide to get ready. I slip on a white v-neck and some slightly baggy black jeans.

When I stop in front of Sophia's house, a little bubble forms in my stomach. I have no idea why I'm acting like it's the first time I'm taking her out.

My legs slowly make their way up her porch and I ring the door bell.

Sophia steps out and I take in her look. A white lace dress flows down to the middle of her thighs matched with cream coloured flats.

"Hi Harry." She breaks the silence and I fix my posture.

"Hey Sophia, you look flawless." I smile and she blushes.

"Thanks." I hook my arm around her waist hoping that she won't pull away. Comfort washes over me when she relaxes in my arm.

"Where are we going?" She asks and I smile.

"Pumpkin picking." When those words come out of my mouth she squeals.

•••

"Can we get this one?" Sophia asks and I nod.

"It'll be $31.25, please." The man at the counter tells us and I pull out my wallet.

"I could pay?" Sophia says and I shake my head.

"Nope." I give the money and Sophia frowns.

"Hey, look at me." I pull her face into the palms of my hands and smile.
My lips find hers and she melts in my hands.

"I've missed this so much." I whisper against her lips and she smiles.

"Me too Harry, me too." She closes the small space I made and wrap my arms around her waist.

When she pulls away our foreheads are touching and she sighs.

"Well, we better get home so we can carve that pumpkin." She gives me a toothy grin and I puff out a laugh.

We both get into my car and pull away.

"We could go to my house, my parents aren't home." Sophia suggests and I nod.

"We have things to talk about Harry." She tells me but she is looking at the window.

"I know."

"So..." Sophia starts off the conversation and looks at me. I look into her beautiful caramel eyes and stare at her intensely.

"I'm so sorry for all the things I did to you Sophia. I don't deserve you and I know it because I've been so selfish with you and all you've been to me was understanding. The time I called you a slut when I thought you kissed Aaron was stupid and I was an ass. I know we talked about that but still. The guilt inside of my stomach was eating me alive and when I found out that you were in the hospital I freaked out. And I know it's my fault so that made me feel even worse. This whole situation messed me up but it also made me realize that I shouldn't take you for granite. Sophia, you are the most, beautiful, amazing, and talented person I have ever met. I love you."

Tears are running down her face and she won't look me in the eye.

"Please say something."

She catches me off guard when her lips are on mine. Our kiss is mixed with tears and she climbs onto me.

"I forgive you." she strokes my face and I nod.

"Thank you. Now come here." I pull her back to my lips and place my hands on the bottom of her back.

"I love you Harry."

Hey guys. I can't tell you how sorry I am for not updating in a very long time. If you read my last chapter I said I would update in a couple of days but that didn't happen because it has been like a month. I know, I'm stupid and I don't have a good reason for it. Yes I've had a lot of homework but that's not an excuse. I've just had a hard time getting motivation to write this story or any other stories. Anyways, I know this chapter is short, but enjoy :)
