Harry looked around the bedroom he once shared with you. Well, technically, your things were still there, but you hadn't been for over a week. The remaining light of the sunset lit up the dark room as he sat in the floor. Everything he did wrong with your relationship filled his thoughts. Tears both dried and new covered his face. He couldn't get the vision of you packing up a suitcase and leaving out of his mind.
You two had been together, sort of, for almost eight years. In the beginning, you two weren't officially together, but you were together, if that makes sense. He was still in his band One Direction, traveling around the world for the majority, so it wasn't until he took his hiatus from the band in 2015 that you two became official.
Both of you were looking forward to being able to be together for real and have a proper relationship. But he fucked it up. He promised you he would be around more since he wasn't having to tour... and he was... until he had to head off to film Dunkirk. And then after that, he was flying to LA and Jamaica for his new album. Then he had to promote the album and of course, he went back on tour for that as well.
So, while he was able to be home a little more than before, he still wasn't there as much as he had promised. He even missed your anniversaries and birthdays over the years. Yeah, he sent gifts and flowers and you two would FaceTime, but it wasn't the same. When he came back home after his last concert with One Direction, he promised he wouldn't miss any more important things in your life, yet he did.
You understood this was his job, but it was also your job, too. You went on your own tour and other things that caused you to be away from home, but you still made time to see Harry and your family. And it wasn't just the traveling for his job either. It was him flying to LA or somewhere else just because he could.
Because of this, you started wondering if he even loved you anymore. It seemed like he was doing everything in his power to be gone. So, you finally made a decision. You packed a bag and went on your own little getaway to think over things. To think about what you wanted and what you deserved.
But mostly, you were hoping this would be a wake up call for Harry. Maybe he would realize how close he was to losing you and everything you two had wanted to build for eight years.
And your plan worked.
**
Harry knew he fucked up. He didn't mean to do and he didn't want too. It was just, he spent so many years traveling without actually seeing the places he went to, so he just wanted to get away every so often and see them. Plus, he missed touring and making music, so he got back into it. He didn't like being away from you, he didn't.
But, while he may not have been gone for as long as he used to be back with One Direction, between your tour and his own, you two seen each other more back then. He hated that he caused this and it was his fault. It was one thing to be gone for work or tour, but a handful of the times he was gone was his own choice. Knowing that you wouldn't be able to join him at that.
You were supposed to be returning in the morning. You would be making your decision at that time, either packing up the remainder of your things or giving him a second chance to make things right. To change and prove to you that he does love you and wants this work, he just hoped you gave him the chance to talk to you once you arrived.
Of course, even if you did, he didn't know where to start or to say. He could tell you he was sorry for everything, which he was, or he could beg you to stay, which he would if he knew it work. But he knew none of that would. He could once again make all these promises of change and making things better between the two of you, but that wouldn't work either.
He made so many promises in the beginning, yet he didn't keep a single one. So, why would you believe him now. He didn't know what to do. But he knew he had to do something because he couldn't lose you. He couldn't imagine his life without you in it. Ever since he met you, almost ten years ago, he knew you would be the person for him.
