Could It Be ↠ Prince Harry Fanfiction

Prologue

Prologue | 2014

He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

Separation of Harry and Meghan announced

British Prime Minister David Cameron announces the formal separation of Harry, The Duke of Sussex and fourth to the British throne, and his wife, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.

Cameron explained that the royal couple were separating "amicably." The report came after several month of speculation by the tabloid press that the marriage was in peril, citing evidence that Harry and Meghan spent vacations apart and official visits in separate rooms.

On May 19, 2012 nearly one billion television viewers in 74 countries tuned in to witness the marriage of Prince Harry, fourth in line to the British throne, to Meghan Markle, an Biracial American actress. Married in a grand ceremony at St. George's Chapel in the presence of 600 guests, the couple's romance was, for the moment, the envy of the world.

Before long, however, the fairy tale couple grew apart, an experience that was particularly painful under the watchful eyes of the world's tabloid media. Harry and Meghan separated in late 2013, though they continued to carry out their royal duties. In August 2014, two months after Queen Elizabeth II urged the couple to divorce, the prince and Meghan reached a final agreement.

In exchange for a generous settlement, and the right to move back to America and her title of "Duchess of Sussex," Meghan agreed to relinquish the title of "Her Royal Highness" and any future claims to the British throne.

"Oh Sofia, I don't know what I'm going to do." Harry said as the announcement of his divorce has been made public.

"Harry, you can stay with me as long as you want." Sofia said as she hugged her best friend.

He needed her and she would do everything in her power to help him.

"Thank you, Sofia and I won't be here for long." Harry said.

"No, you need to be away from all the media and especially your overbearing family. You can have the room across from me." Sofia said.

"Thank you for everything, Sofia." Harry said.

"Don't worry, Harry, everything will be fine." Sofia said.

"Thank you." Harry said.

"Goodnight, Harry." Sofia said.

"Sofia, why are you acting like this?" Saria asked.

"Because I'm in love with him." Sofia answered.

"In love with who?" Carl Philip asked.

"Harry." Sofia replied.

"Your best friend Harry?" Saria asked.

"Yes, him." Sofia answered.

"When did this happen?" Carl Philip asked.

"Carl I think you mean when did she finally realize that she was in love with him?" Saria asked.

"Shut up and when he kissed me goodnight." Sofia replied.

"He did what?" Saria asked, squealing.

"He walked me to my door and smiled then he kissed me and walked away." Sofia answered.

"Oh my God! Sarry is finally happening!" Saria exclaimed.

"Sarry?" Sofia asked.

"Your ship name. She made it up when she realized both Harry and you were in love with each other and not acknowledging it." Carl Philip answered.

"Does everyone think that?" Sofia asked.

"Yes." Saria answered.

"Why do you care so much, Harry?" Sofia asked.

I shut my eyes tight, trying to hold back that sentence that could ruin our friendship.

But the words spilled out anyways.

"I love you, Sofia." I answered.

Silence.

My heart pounded.

I felt her fingers on my chin, lifting it up.

I stared into her eyes.

Finally, she gave me a small smile.

"I love you, too, Harry." She said as she kissed me.

I slid my arms around her waist and pulled her closer, leaning into the kiss. I felt her arms around my neck.

When we reluctantly pulled back, she rested her head on my chest and I held her.

"When did you realize that you were in love with me?" I asked.

"That night when you kissed me goodnight." She answered. "When did you realize?" She asked.

"The night when you kicked me in the head, thinking I was trying to break into your flat." I answered.

She laughed and kissed me again.

"Idiot." She said.

I chuckled and leaned forward until the tip of my nose touched hers.

"Now its clear I've been waiting for you." I said.

"Cause today is the start of the rest of our lives." Sofia said.

"Its just me and you." I said.
