Never Let Me Go

Chapter 8



"So any guys I need to worry about at Stanford?" Harry asks. I know he's joking, but deep down he is curious.

"No, Harry." I playfully roll my eyes. "You should come with me when I go back, you can see my dorm room and maybe even meet my roommate if she's there."

"Why wouldn't she be there?"

"She's always with her boyfriend at his apartment. It's kind of nice though, having the room to myself."

"Hmm, if I came with you, we could be alone in that room together." His eyebrows move up and down and I shove him away from me playfully.

"I don't want to go back." I pout.

I wish I could stay in this moment forever, not having to worry about school or being on opposite sides of the world from the man I love. It's so relaxing to just spend every moment with Harry, but there's that feeling stirring inside of me, like the one you get on a Sunday when you know you have school the next day. I don't want this to end, I don't want to go back there and be away from him.

"I don't want you to either." Harry pulls me back to him and rests his forehead against mine, holding me by my hips.

"I was thinking of inviting Sophie and Ryan over, we could have a movie night or something. They're like the only two people that haven't left for school yet." I attempt to change the subject, I don't want to ruin our day.

"Sounds perfect." He smiles and releases me from his grip.

Twenty minutes or so later, Sophie and Ryan arrive and are all for my idea of a movie night. With everyone leaving for school and the multiple parties that have been thrown in the last week, it'll be good to just have a relaxing, calm night in.

"Soph! Come help me get snacks! And you two find something to watch." I look at the boys and drag Sophie into the kitchen.

"Popcorn?" She asks and searches through the pantry.

"Soph, I need to talk to you." I sigh and sit on the stool at the counter.

"So no snacks?" She shuts the cabinet door and pouts.

"Yeah, I just need to talk first." I hear Harry and Ryan arguing over what to watch in the other room, so I don't think they'll mind our absence for a few minutes.

"What's up, Aubs?" She looks concerned as she pulls the other stool closer to me and sits.

"I just have this knot in my stomach that won't go away. I'm so worried about going back to school and not having Harry with me. This is why I broke up with him, because I'm scared to be alone. What's going to happen?" I support my head with my elbows that are resting on the counter.

"Aubs, I feel like you're thinking about this too much. You don't know what it's like, you just have to give it a shot. Maybe it won't be as bad as you think, you never know until you try."

"But I do, the last two months without him have been terrible!"

"But you two were broken up, so you were hurting a lot more. That made it ten times worse."

"You're right... I'm... I'm just nervous. I don't know what to expect, or how to deal with this."

"I'm always right." She smiles. "But really, it will all work out. Let's be honest, you know you're going to go to England whenever you get the chance and same with him. You two lovebirds are obsessed with each other, I'm sure you'll find a way." Even though there's a hint of humor in her words, I know she means what she says. We will find a way... I'm not sure how, but we will.

"So let's make some popcorn and get back in there before they kill each other over a damn movie." She laughs and stands up to give me a sympathetic hug that I gratefully accept.

"Did you guys pick one?" I smile and sit next to Harry before he pulls me close to his side and wraps an arm around me.

"Yep." Ryan smirks at Harry. I suppose Harry had a different movie.

"Are you okay?" Harry whispers to me as the movie starts.

"Yeah." I half lie. I am okay, I know this will be fine, but my damn mind is making me feel uneasy about all of this.



"Aubrey... Aubs wake up." I open my eyes and squint at the light before seeing Harry next to me.

"Did I really fall asleep?" I question.

"Yeah, Sophie and Ryan already left. It's two in the morning, let's go to bed." He stands up and holds out his hand to help me up from the couch.

"Why are you so smiley?" Harry grins.

"I hadn't noticed I was smiling."

"What's gotten into you?" I am in a much better mood than before though, and he's seemed to notice.

"I just had a really good dream."

"And what was that dream about?" He continues to smile, his dimples deeper than ever.

"I'm still tired, can we go to bed?" I brush off the question and continue to walk towards my bed.

"Sure thing." He follows me.

We finally get settled in the bed and just as I'm about to drift off into a calm slumber, Harry's deep voice begins and I can feel his hot breath against my neck.

"So are you going to tell me what that dream was about?" He pulls me closer to his chest.

"It was about you." I admit, and I smile remembering it.

"Oh yeah? What about me?" He questions.

"Well about us."

"Keep going..."

"It was nothing special."

"Oh come on! Before you fell asleep something was wrong, and then when you woke up you were all smiles." He's onto me.

"Aubrey..." He presses me to answer when I remain silent for at least another minute.

I debate telling him about it, the perfect dream I had. I dreamt of him and I not having so much distance in between us when we go to college, and us living happily together. It made me realize that we could make us work, it gave me the help I needed to answer all of the questions in my mind. I now know what I must do in order to make this happen.

"Harry... I'm dropping out of Stanford."

I feel his arm wrap around me and he forces me to turn over and face him.

"What?" His eyebrow is creased.

"I'm coming to England... I'm going to Cambridge with you." I smile.




Notes

So I decided to update again today because I didn't think the last chapter was the best.
