Hanging By A Moment

Samantha's POV:
'FINE!' I yelled. I sighed in relief (IM SURE WE ALL DID AS WELL phewww!) as he ran back to me and the car made its way passed us, without leaving a dead body.

'Harry, what's there to talk about. I'm letting you go, you can move on with your life. No ones stopping you from getting married to Cara' I jumped down from the car to talk to him.

'You don't understand-' he tried to reason but I cut him off.

'No you don't, I'm okay really. This is what you wanted, not having any involvement with the children right? It's okay really.I'll be fine in raising them by-'this time he interrupted me.

'I'm not marrying her!' he yelled.

'What..' I muttered in a shock.

'The ring..... it was a misunderstanding' he used a conversational tone. 'I broke up with Cara days ago' he began to explain. 'That night you found me searching for something in the my room... I was trying to look for the ring' he sighed. 'Ever since you left, I've been carrying the ring with me everyday. So I panicked when one day I didn't have it' he explained.

'That morning, Zayn and I went to her place to check if I'd left it there, but she wasn't home' he continued. 'You see, she found the ring by mistake' he clarified. 'I was never going to propose to her and never with YOUR ring' he emphasised.

I was surprised by the last thing he said. He was still denoting ownership to me; that the ring still belonged to me.

I was silenced by the revelation.

'Sammie..' he took my hands into his.

'Harry....this doesn't change anything between us' a tear felt out from my eye.

'Why not?' he asked softly. 'I still love you' he confessed.

Again he took me by surprise. I wasn't prepared for this. I didn't know how to react....what to say....or what to feel.

'Why can't we try to be a family?' he gave my hand a soft squeeze . Family....now I know what to reply.

'You didn't want the children remember?' I reminded him. He hunged his head low feeling guilty about what I reminded him.

'A lot has changed...'he muttered. 'Your right, I said I didn't want them before' he looked back up to meet my gaze. 'But its soo hard not to feel any feelings towards them. I don't know what it is, but I'm so drawn to them' he spoke sincerely. 'Their my children too' he expressed.

'Can we try, please?' he looked at me with eyes filled with desperation.

'I'm tired of going back Harry' I pulled my hands away.

'You won't be going back, if you'd never left at the first place' he said.

'Harry, you know why I left, I did it for you' I pointed at him.

'Why do you have to keep dwelling on the past. We're never going to be able to move forward if you let the past hold you back' he raised his voice a little. 'I admit I'm imperfect. But isn't it, that you shouldn't judge a person by their flaws but instead how they overcome it' he spoke softly.

He was right. So right that I didn't have an argument back.

'I don't want to do this anymore' I turned around and started to walk the long road.

'Sammie where you going?' I heard his voice.

'I'm going home' I replied with my back to him.

'Are you kidding? Do you know how long it's gonna take for you to reach London' he called out.

'I don't care' I continued to walked the long road to London.I didn't care how long this was going to take me, at least I could use all the time to think.

'Ahhhhhhwww' I yelled as I twisted my right ankle. 'Oucchh' I cried in pain as I placed my hand over the swelling. 'Babe' I heard Harry called out. 'Ahhhw' I cried as he rushed to my side. 'Let me help you' he took my heel off. He placed his arm around my waist while I draped one arm over his shoulder as he helped me back to the car.

I hissed in pain as I limped towards the car. Harry sat by my feet and tried to massage my ankle. 'Harry' I cried and he looked up to meet my gaze.

'Please take me home' I pleaded as tears continued to emerged from my eyes.

'I'm exhausted' my voice cracked. Exhausted physically and emotionally. Everything that's happened was too much to take in, in one day.

Our near death experience.

Finding out he didn't propose to Cara.

Him telling me that he love still loves me.

Then him asking for a chance to be a family.

I was physically and emotionally drained.

'Okay' he nodded and closed the door.

The car ride home was silent. Unliked before.

After hours of driving, we'd finally reach our destination. Harry pulled up the driveway of my Parent's house. He switched the engine off and turned to me to start a conversation.

'Tomorrow...' he began to talk but I kept my eyes on the house. 'Will you give me the day to spend with the children?' he asked and I bowed my head down.

'Just one day, one chance that's all I'm asking' he begged. He waited and waited to get a respond. But I didn't give him one. I opened the door and began to make my out and he did the same. As soon as I had stepped out of the car, Harry was by my side to help me walk to the house. Like before he placed his hand on my waist for support as we stepped up to the porch. We stood in front of the door in silence until someone opened the door.

'Why Charming, coming to drop of Cinderella?' Anna smirked at us.'Yes Fairy God mother' Harry went along with her fairytales. 'Here's your Range Rover, did you bring back our BMW in one piece?' she passed him his keys. 'Yup' Harry let out a short laugh and gave her the keys to the BMW. 'Well, I'll be inside' she smirked again and retreated inside.

'I'll be waiting at the bachelor pad, if you decide to drop them off' Harry reminded me of what he was hoping to happen tomorrow.

He took a step towards me and leaned in for my left cheek. Slowly his lips moved towards its target. My heart throb as he neared the vicinity. I closed my eyes as I felt his soft lips pressed on my cheek.

I should be over all the butterflies.
