Chapter Nine ▶ Match made in heaven.

"You meet thousands of people and none of them really mean anything to you, and then you meet one person and your life is changed forever."

Audrey's pov

From that day on the sun had been shining every day, it's warmth spreading through my body filling up every dark corner of my soul and I started to live again. I finally understood the true meaning behind love, because not only did I fall in love with him, I fell in love with myself all over again and most of all I fell in love with my life. Making everything for the first time in forever inspire me.

The sun was set high above the lake, a slight breeze touching my skin. I close my eyes listening closely to my surroundings, the waving of the threes, the melodic sound of singing birds that fly through the air and I never felt so alive before, so at peace with myself, with the world.

"It's different now right ? Now you're not alone anymore ?" I open my eyes to look at Caroline who's lying next to me, her eyes are closed, blue hair pulled up and for the first time since I've met her she looks in total peace.

"You and Harry remind me of Mike and I. I notice how you never look at him, you look at the twinkle in his eyes, the way he holds you close. You look inside him and that's how I know you will make it together." She turns towards me before giving a reassuring smile. "Now are you coming with me or not, we need to find that loverboy of yours."

As soon as I step inside the air is knocked out of me by a small figure. "Shit" I look up to see a small girl with brown hair that falls onto her shoulders I recognise as the girl from Ashton's photo. For a second there's a frightend look in her eyes, as if she's scared to see who she run into. But it dissapeares as she sees me, a smile playing on her lips instead shaking my hand in a friendly gesture. "I'm so sorry, Chrissy I'm here to visit my boyfriend."

Her sleeve shoots up revealing a newly formed bruise on her arms. "Oh god sorry I did that, I didn't see you coming." "No it's okay I'm fine it doesn't even-" "Chrissy !" We both turn towards the source of the voice. Ashton is making his way down the hall, he's wearing black skinny jeans a red flannel and one his trade mark bandanas. "I couldn't find you anywhere."

He puts his arm around her waist in a protective manner and I can't help but think of Harry. When I first came here Jeanne told me I needed time to find myself, but never did I expect to find myself in him. In his laugh, in his eyes, in his heart but most of all in all of his love that filled my veins with a hapiness I hadn't felt before.

"Audrey are you okay ?" I am snapped out of my thoughts by Ashton's voice, a worried look on his face. "Yeah I have never been better actually" A smile is forming itself on my face and I see Caroline giving me a knowing look from the other side of the room.

Arms wrap around my waist, catching me off guard. "Hi there beautiful." I immediately relax at the sound of his deep familiar voice, turning around so I can face him. "I'm not sure my boyfriend would like that." I hear him let out a low chuckle before leaning in, his hot breath against my ear. "You know you want me love." He gives me a light kiss on the lips, letting me know there will be more of that later. "I guess that what he doesn't know doesn't hurt mr. Styles."

As I pull back from him I notice Ashton and Chrissy watching us with knowing looks on their faces. I burry my head in the soft fabric of Harry's white shirt and I feel him laugh at my embarrassment. "Either way, Chrissy and I have to go. I'll see you two lovebirds later." We both watch them go, hand in hand and laughing about something the other said but something seems off and I don't know what it is but I intend to find out.

AN: I'm sorry it's short and that took so long for me to update. It's not my best chapter but I hope you love it anyway. Love you xx
