* Issy's POV *

" So, what did you wanna talk about?", I asked Owen, taking a seat beside him on the grass, watching as all the students aimlessly roamed around the University campus.

" I like you, a lot actually. But I know you don't like me", he began, causing my head to tilt sideways, catching me off guard the way he started off the conversation.

" I- I'm sorry I, I don't know what to say to that", I said.

" That's alright you don't have to say anything. It's life. Your gonna like people who sometimes don't like you back. Shit happens Issy", he replied, making me laugh slightly. Thanking him soon after as he gave me a granola bar, sticking an extra one that he had into his jacket pocket.

" Do you miss him?", he asked, looking at me now.

" You know about him, don't you?", I questioned, watching as he looked down, a smile curving slowly upon his lips as he nodded.

" To be quite fair love everyone does by now, but yes to answer your question, I know", he said, studying my expression.

" Yea, I miss him everyday", I said, picking at the chocolate chips from the bar, before looking back up. " But it'd be very insensitive of me to talk about him to you, with me aware of your feelings", I explained.

" True, yes indeed it would be, but I'm a big boy I can most definitely take it", he assured, making me chuckle softly once more.

" To be honest there's nothing really to tell as of right now, at least not that I feel comfortable talking about. But thank you for caring. Unlike the others here, I can tell your actually want to be my friend for me, because this is the first time you've asked me about Harry. I have the feeling most of the girls who have attempted to be my friend just want to because they know I'm -

" The potential love of his life and want to know as many details as possible about you and one of the most famous people in the world? That's completely understandable Issy", he said, smirking.

" Well, at least someone gets it", I joked, laughing as he shook his head, almost blushing.

* Harry's POV *

Ever since I left I've been keeping contact with Emily and Dave, along with Matt, to check on how Issy was doing since I knew she talked to all of them mostly on a daily basis. I couldn't help being clueless not having the slightest idea if she was alright. I wanted her to be happy and content, not upset and out of it like I currently was.

It almost scared me of how much I loved her. Because it eventually came to the point where I realized that I genuinely needed her. And to know that you need someone was, just crazy.
Underneath all of the craziness from knowing that I needed her, I was also afraid of the thought that I could very well be potentially loosing her. She could move on anytime she wants, it would be so easy for her to do because I'm not with her frequently like a normal boyfriend could be, and that killed me.

I wish I could do all of the duties that a normal boyfriend could do. Like take her out everyday to go eat, kiss her while we are waiting for something, be with her anytime I want..... But in our case, we just couldn't do that and I hated it.

I asked myself everyday since I left, Why does love have to be so complicated? I still could never find an answer to it ever since it dwelled upon my conscious thoughts.
Issy came unexpectedly, I didn't just find her it just sort of happened, and I loved that because it was spontaneous. It wasn't planned. And I was hoping and praying everyday that another spontaneous moment like that again would bring us back together. But I know the chances of that happening with my luck in my love life right now was one in a million.

* Issy's POV *

" Did you listen to Four yet?", Emily asked me, beginning to brush her doll's hair, looking up at me.

" Are you kidding!? I listen to it on my way to and from school everyday", I told her, watching as she smiled, seeing I got excited.

" I listen to it all the time with mommy, the boys did a really great job", she said.

" I couldn't agree more sweetie", I said, finishing up the last of my notes, stuffing my supplies back into my bag.

" What's your favorite song from it?", she asked me.

" It's hard for me to choose they are all so so great but it's between night changes and fools gold, how about yours?", I questioned.

" I love girl almighty", she responded, continuing to do her dolls hair. "Mommy said that spaces reminds her of you and Harry", she said, making me look up from my current action.

" She said that?", I asked, watching as she nodded intently.

" But I never understood why, what's that song about?"

" Well", I began, looking down at my fingers. " Its about two people dealing with a long distance relationship", I told her.

" Oh, I guess that is kind of like you guys", she replied, her hazel eyes meeting mine.

" Yea, I guess it is", I said, earning another smile from her, sighing as the doorbell rang just after.

" I'll be right back Emily", I said, walking towards the front door.

I opened the door, looking straight through the person that was standing in front of me. I literally thought I was hallucinating somehow because I never thought, not ever, that he would be standing at my doorstep.

" Dad"?
