Part 12

*2 Years Ago*

Harry's POV

"You ok H, you seem incredibly quiet tonight. Do you want to talk about it?", Y/n angelic voice asked as I laid on top of her.

I didn't want to talk about it, if we did the she would surely be done with me. I looked down at her lovingly, I couldn't loose her. I just couldn't, yet I already knew I was. I lifted my hand and cupped her cheek, she nuzzled into my hand and kissed my palm. The very gesture causing tears to well up into my eyes.

"Are you ok", she asked worriedly.

"I uh, need to tell you something", I said lifting myself off of her and sitting on her mattress.

"What's up", she smiled sitting across from me.

"The other night when I went out with the crew, Callie and I got drunk...and uh....", I swallowed not sure how to tell her the rest.

"Did you guys sleep together?", she asked.

"No, but we kissed. More like made out", I swallowed.

For a while we didn't say anything, we just sat there and I guess we tried to comprehend what exactly had went on or the situation I had put us in. Suddenly she leap up off the bed and grabbed my pair of jeans off the floor and threw them at me.

"Get out!", she said angrily.

"Please let me explain", I begged throwing my jeans aside.

"No Harry, I've been waiting for a year for you to make this official. And you said you weren't ready. I waited and waited, now that we are finally seeing each other exclusively this happens. Leave now, you obviously need to figure out what you want. Cause it's not me", she said.

I felt bad, because she was right I didn't know what I had wanted. Even in the beginning stages of our relationship I had dragged my feet about being exclusive. She didn't ask for much, only that I stop seeing Callie and commit to her. Yet I couldn't do that.

"I think we need a break", she finally said.

"No Y/n! I'm sorry, all we did was kiss. I swear it won't happen again", I begged.

"How can I be sure", she asked the question that shut me up.

"It's the perfect time Harry, cause I'm leaving. I didn't know how to tell you but I guess this is as good of time as ever", she sighed sounding defeated.

"Where are you going?", I asked panicking.

"I have to go to New York for an internship, it's a year. It's the opportunity of a life time and I'm not passing it up. I was going to suggest for you to take leave to come with me. But I think the better option is for you to stay here and me to go away", she sniffled letting me know she was crying.

"I love you though", I tried desperately to get her to stay.

"I don't doubt that but I think you need time too. You have to know what you want, I love you Harry. This is just goodbye, hopefully for now", she kissed my cheek and handed me my jeans once more.

*Current time*

That year I was without her I was miserable, but she was right. I needed that time to figure out what I had wanted and the only thing I had realized what that I wanted her and no one else. The second she came back from her internship I asked for another chance and then proposed. I didn't regret a single thing after she came back, I wanted her as my wife and I got it.
