*Ara’s POV*

I opened my eyes, and closed them instantly as the light from the blinds were shooting through. I slowly opened them, letting my eyes adjust. I then realized that someone was holding me from behind. My heart stopped. I looked underneath the sheets. I was still fully clothed. I slowly looked behind me and the first thing I saw was brown curls. I turned back and smiled to myself. I decided to play it as if I was still sleeping and tuned to where my head was on his chest. I laid there, breathing in his sent.

I could have stayed there forever, but all too soon, Harry began to wake up. I closed my eyes in effort to make him think I was still sleeping. I felt him about to stretch when he realized someone was sleeping next to him. I could feel his beautiful eyes on my face.

He laid his head down again and pulled me closer. We sat there for a while, and I realized he had fallen asleep again when I heard his breathing start to calm.

“HARREH!” Louis yelled barging in.

We both shot up out of the bed.

“What the hell, Lou?” Harry said staring at him sleepily.

“Really asking me that question?” He asked looking over to me and smiling. I waved back.

“I am fully dressed Louis.” I said rolling my eyes.

“Exactly! He had a girl in his bed and she is still clothed! It is not right!” He said shaking his head. Harry rolled his eyes.

“Now what did you want?” Harry asked a little aggravated.

“Ah yes, breakfast.” He smiled and walked out of the room. Harry sighed and went downstairs. I was about to follow when Janel came in and pushed me back in the room and closed the door.

“Ara, we have to talk.” She said with her voice full of worry.

“What is it?” I asked.

“Last night… I drank a lot… and well… Louis and I…” She said unable to finish.

“YOU SHAGGED HIM!” I practically screamed. She put her hand over my mouth and nodded.

“Oh my God! I can’t believe it! Haha! This is priceless! Wait… why aren’t you happy about it?” I asked raising an eyebrow.

She looked down at her hands, “It was my first time… I hadn’t planned it… So I hadn’t really thought of it… I didn’t realize till this morning that we hadn’t used…” She didn’t need to finish her sentence. I knew what she meant.

“He didn’t put on a condom?” I asked my mouth hanging open at the last word. She shook her head no.

“Well… that doesn’t mean anything at all. You are over reacting. Just relax.” I said patting her hands. I smiled at her as she lifted her head to look at me.

“But… what if it is? What if I get an STD… or what if I get pregnant! Or worse! What if I get pregnant and he doesn’t want anything to do with it?” Her eyes grew wide.

“Janel! Calm down. It’s okay! You are over thinking this way to much.” I said pulling her into a hug. She normally gets really emotional the morning after she is drunk.

“Please tell me you didn’t act this way while Louis was in there this morning.” I said pushing her away a little enough to see her shake her head.

“Good. Now let’s go down stairs and get you some coffee. That will help you calm down.” I said smiling at her. She nodded and we went downstairs and sat with everyone to eat. Harry looked at me confused when he saw the look in Janel’s eyes. I shook my head at him, telling him to leave it alone.
We all ate in silence. When everyone was finished, we all headed over to the living room. Harry grabbed my hand and led me out the back door.

“Why am I getting the strangest feeling this is gonna end with a story in the paper saying ‘She was never seen again’?” I asked laughing. He just continued to walk me to the woods, and soon enough I realized where he was taking me. Soon enough we were there. The pond that I had found so many years ago… So many memories here. All of them had Harry in them, and I realized right then and there… I wanted Harry in all of my memories…

“Okay so I want to talk to you about something without everyone around.” He said letting go of my hand and turning around, looking at me.

“What is it?” I asked

“I am not sure if you remember last night… when you told me you loved me back.” He said looking at the ground. I smiled at him and grabbed his hand.

“Whether or not I remember it… It is true Harry… I really do.” He looked up to me with a smile on his face as I said this. He took a step towards me, lifting his free hand to my cheek and looking into my eyes. He leaned in a little at a time, until I couldn’t take it anymore and I smashed my lips into his. We both got really into it. I had wound my fingers into his hair as he had grabbed my hips and brought them closer to him. When we finally pulled apart out of breath, we put our foreheads together…

“You are supposed to be with my for the rest of my life… I know it.” He said still out of breathe.

“And you in mine.” I said looking into his eyes.
“All our lives.” He said smiling at me. I remembered I had said that exact same thing so long ago, in this exact same place. It was the perfect day , if only I had known just how bad it was going to get in the months to come.
