28: leaving

the day harry was leaving i had bit of a cry in the shower. i cry a lot and it cant be helped but i told harry and zayn that i didn't mind crying a lot because i hated holding my emotions in.

Call me overdramatic i dont care, i will miss him.

"darling? you finish?" i was in the bathroom crying in the shower. i'd been in there for ages. i sniffled and turned the water off before drying myself and putting on my undergarments, my urban outfitters track suit bottoms and a big jumper. i opened the door to see harry standing there, his eyes red. He'd been crying too.
"i thought you'd want this for while im gone" he handed me his hoodie.
"my favourite one" i smiled softly. i immediately tossed off my jumper forgetting i had nothing on underneath. . i took a hoodie and pulled it over my head.

"you are so beautiful" harry spoke. my cheeks tinted red slightly and a nervous smile crept onto my face causing us both to giggle.
"i love you"
"i love you too" he planted a soft kiss on my forehead.
"c'mon, lets go out to eat"

after drying my hair, layering up underneath and putting on eye liner, mascara and my docs we headed to the cafe nearby. it was so lovely to be out before harry was away. after eating we took a walk and talked. we hadnt talked like this in ages so it felt lovely to be back at it again.

we eventually got home and had a long cuddle.
"im gonna miss you so much harry" i mumbled into his chest.
"im gonna miss you too" he sat up and picked me up, placing me on his lap.
"i read a book yesterday" i told him. his eyes lit up.
"no way! which one!?"
"I got it off your shelf...My Policeman" i smiled shyly.
"thats my girl" he pulled me into his arms and hugged me, planting multiple kisses on my head making me giggle. "im so proud of you" he released then looked at the clock. his face fell.
"you leaving?" i asked. he nodded. tears welled up in my chocolate brown eyes. i didn't want him to go. but i knew he had to go.
"i'll be back before you know it my love, i promise" he said. i just sniffled in reply.

we got up and headed to the door, holding hands. i watched as he put his coat on and his mate came in to help him with his luggage. harry turned to me and pulled me into his arms. mascara tears streamed down my cheeks. harry cupped my face with my hands and wiped them away with his soft thumbs.

"youre the strongest women i've ever met. you will be okay" he looked deeply into my eyes.
"i expect a call when you get to the airport, before you fly, when you land and when you get to your accommodation" i replied. we both smiled and our lips locked together.
"You worry too much" he chuckled.
"Course i worry!" I scoffed.

"goodbye maya"
"goodbye harry. i love you"
"i love you too"
