WHEN YOU PRAY FOR SOMEONE, YOU ARE OFFERING THEM THE MOST PUREST KIND OF LOVE

~~~~~

It's been a week since me and Harris have become what you could label as 'exclusive' and it's genuinely been one of the best weeks of my life.
Right now I'm saying goodbye to him because I'm going to stay with my mum and dad for a week so I won't see him.

"Text me everyday?" He asks I nod my head throwing another pair of shoes into my suitcase
"Don't forget about me yeah?" He chuckles and I stop packing and turn to him
"I promise I will text you everyday and I won't ever forget you" I assure him and he grins

I smile to myself as I finish packing and zip my suitcase up.
"Can you take my suitcase down for me?" I ask and he grabs it while I grab my handbag and keys.

I lock the door behind me and shove my keys in my bag before we make our way down to the Uber that's waiting for me.
Harris offered to take me but if my dad sees me coming out his car, he's gonna flip out, so Uber it is.

He puts my suitcase in the back and turns to me,
"I'm gonna miss you"
"I'll miss you too"
I wrap my arms around his neck and he pulls me closer, wrapping his arms around my waist.

As creepy as it sounds, I stand there taking his scent of warm vanilla and a hint of citrus, his hugs are just so warm I could stay here all day.

We pull away and he gives me a weak smile,
"I'll see you once you get back"
He holds onto my hand until I'm too far for our hands to be together and I prepare myself for a week of not seeing him.

It's worse because we've been near each other for like a month and I knew I could just go see him whenever I needed to, but I'm gonna be too far for that now.

Once I had reached my parent's house it was already dark and the ride was so tiring.
"Do you want to eat?" My mum asks sitting down next to me
"Can I just go to bed, I'm really tired" she nods her head and I follow her up to my bedroom

I take off my makeup and get into my nighties, brush my hair and get into bed.
I don't know why but whenever I come back home and sleep in my own bed, I feel so empty. I remember being here a couple of years back crying my eyes out nearly every night. I always felt so empty like there was no one there for me, but now I have one guy who is so important to me.

Things really do change, fast.

"I'll see you in the morning" my mum says kissing my head and I smile at her before turning onto my side and falling asleep

🕒

I woke up in the early hours of the day, around 7 o'clock. I had nothing to do so I went downstairs and turned of the TV.

Nothing was really on so I switched over to How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. As I was sat there staring at the TV screen my mind was elsewhere.

"You know, you're probably a Marshall"
He turns his head to me with a lifted eyebrow "what makes you say that?"

"Well you're not a Barney but you're not as unfortunate as Ted, so you're a Marshall" I explain taking a sip of my water
"Well you're not Robin but you're not a Lily either"

"So who I am like then?" I narrow my eyes
He taps his finger on his leg then turns his head to me, "You're a Janice from Friends"
My mouth opens and I gasp,
"You" I throw a popcorn at him
"Are" and another one
"So" and another one
"Rude!" And a couple more

He shields himself from the popcorn chuckling,
"I'm kidding, why you getting so vexed I think Janice is amazing"
I stick my tongue out at him in a childish manner and he gives me a look
"Really?"
"Yes really" I reply smiling goofily

I sigh remembering the day he came over and ended up sleeping at mine too.

"Hey, why're you awake so early?" Kaisar walks in rubbing his eyes
"I fell asleep early last night", I pause the episode, "Are you going to work?"

He nods before grabbing his car keys, "I'll see you once I get home"
He closes the front door behind him, making the house once again silent.

I pick up my phone and text Harris to see if he's awake

Me: Hey

I unpause the episode and carry on watching it.
5 episodes later I hear my dad walk into the room and he gives me a kiss on the head
"I like having you back home" he smiles at me fondly and I feel tears prick my eyes

I try not to let them out but the decide to fall anyways and next thing I know, I'm bawling my eyes out.
"What happened?" My dad's smile fades
I get up from where I'm sat and sit in front of my dad on the floor,
"I just missed you" I manage to let out in between tears and my dad hugs me
He kisses my head, "I know you did"

I honestly don't know how I've coped staying away from my parents all this time at the age of 20 and you really don't realise until they're sitting in front of you.
