Back For You

"I just don't get how the ending made any sense with the rest of the movie" Niall said as we got into the car.

It was 12:48am, we just came out from the after party for the premier of the movie. Thankfully after a few pictures on the carpet with Harry, we headed inside, Harry pulling me away from the reporters with burning questions. The movie was excellent, what Leonardo DiCaprio movie isn't amazing? Now after all the fun, I was a bit tipsy, apparently 4 beers, and a couple of shots were enough for me.

"What are you talking about? It made perfect sense, he went back to the girl he loved!" I said as I leaned onto Harry at the back of the car. His hand resting on my knee.

"I just don't get it," Niall said as his eyes began to close.

"You're drunk, and tired. That's why nothings making sense, mate," Harry said from beside me. "and apparently so are you," He said as his eyes landed on me.

"I'm not that drunk" I said as I lay my head on Harry's shoulder, my eyes slowly closing.

"Okay we'll talk about it tomorrow, take care of her," I heard someone, It must've been Louis. A cold breeze brushed across my bare legs, then I felt Harry adjust, what must have been his suit jacket over to cover more of my bare skin.

"I will, we'll talk tomorrow" I heard Harry's voice from beside me. "Goodnight El,"

"Night, Haz" I heard Eleanor reply quietly before the car door shut, causing me to jump and open my eyes.

"Sleep, Ry" Harry said as he pulled out his phone and adjusted himself so I was more comfortable resting on his arm.

"Why are we still in the car, where is everyone?" I asked as I slid of my heels, looking at my phone for the time; 1:39

"Just dropped off Louis and Eleanor," He said as his fingers texted away. "We were stuck in traffic, and you passed out"

"Sorry," I looked down to see Harry's suit jacket draped across my lap, a small smile crossing my face. "Here, you can have your jacket back. We're almost at your place anyways" I said handing it to Harry.

"Put it on, my mum would kill me if she saw that you didn't have a jacket. It's cold outside" He said eyes locked on his phone.

After a few moments of silence the car pulled up outside Harry's house. "Thank You" I whispered to the driver as Harry opened the door, holding out his hand for me. I had on his jacket, and my heels in my hands as we made our way up to the front door.

"Shit" I heard Harry mutter under his breath as he fiddled with his keys. Once the door was opened I walked in ahead of him slipping off the jacket, and passing it to Harry, suddenly shivering when I realized how cold it was in his house.

"You can sleep on my bed, I'll take the couch" Harry said looking exhausted. His hair was pushed out of his eyes, and his dress shirt undone at the top. I nodded slowly, too tired to question why he didn't just come up to bed with me. We never had any problems sharing a bed before. I walked up the stairs watching as he turned the light in the kitchen on, and ran his hands through his hair in frustration.

Being in Harry's house in London always felt like being back in Cheshire. Maybe it was the burning of vanilla candles or maybe It was being in the presence of Harry, whatever it was; it felt like home. I stepped over the mess that I left from earlier, making my way to the over night bag in the corner of the room. Changing into my pyjama shorts and one of Harry's old sweaters from high school that he gave me when we were 16 after he grew out of it, I climbed in to his bed. I loved Harry's bed, It was so big, and comfy. It smelt just like him.

I don't know what happened, what clicked in me. Maybe I was overwhelmed or maybe I was still drunk. But that's when I started to cry.

I wasn't sobbing. I wasn't crying to the point where I couldn't catch my breath. I just couldn't stop the steady tears from falling. It was silent, maybe that's what triggered it.

Feeling lonely even though I was surrounded by so many people.

I sat there on the edge of the bed, looking out of Harry's windows that over looked the streets below. I watched as the rain slowly started to fall, and stood up to open the window; the sound of rain was soothing. I wiped my tears away before sending a quick text to Zoe, then slipped under the covers of Harry's bed. It was cold.

"Love you too, Laura" I heard Harry's voice coming down the hall. He opened the door and walked over to his closet, ending the phone call. I watched him form where I was on his bed sliding further under the covers so he couldn't see me. He unbuttoned his shirt and took it off tossing it into the laundry basket, revealing his toned back. I watched his as he looked through his closet for something but I turned over to the other side returning my gaze to the view outside the window.
A few tears slid down my face making Harry's pillow slightly damp. That was when I finally gave up and closed my eyes.

"Goodnight Ry," I heard Harry whisper as he leaned on the bed, planting a soft kiss on my head before leaving the room, and closing the door behind him.

-

"You sure it was nothing?" Zoe asked me, for the hundredth time. After waking up to an empty house I figured making pancakes was ideal for Harry and myself, while face timing my best friend in Australia.

"Yeah, Zo! I'm sure, I'm fine really." I said smiling at Zoe, after reading the text I sent her last night she called me in a panic, worried. "When are you coming back, I miss you" I said sitting on the island, trying to change the subject.

"Soon, I promise just a couple more exams and I'll be home ! And it will be christmas, It's going to be great!" Zoe explained, as she shoved food into her mouth. "Where's Harry, I haven't seen him in ages"

"I think he went for a run, I have no Idea," I said just as I heard the front door open "Never mind I think he's home" I said tying my hair up in an attempt to look decent.

"Ry?" I heard Harry call.

"Yeah, he's definitely home" I said to my phone screen, "He's already being annoying," I smiled knowing he heard me.

"Rylynn! Good Morning" Harry said walking into the kitchen. He was wearing a black long sleeve shirt and black shorts, with a beanie on his head and on his feet; his tennis ball coloured shoes.

"Eww, Harry those shoes!" I squealed.

"Give me a hug Ry," He said making his way over to me, arms opened wide a cheeky grin on his face. Harry was sweaty, he was gross. And he was getting closer.

"Do not, touch me" I said hopping onto the counter, "Harry don't, I hate when you're sweaty"

"Come here, Ry" He said as he stood between my legs and wrapped his arms around my waist his head resting on my chest. I could feel his cold skin pressed against mine and his damp hair on my neck. It was gross.

"Hi Harry" I heard an excited Zoe from my phone,

"Hi Zo? How are you, you good?" Harry said removing his arms from my waist and resting them on either side of me, still standing between my legs. "When are you coming back?" He asked as I held out my phone so she could see both Harry and me.

"2 more exams, I'll be back. oh and Harry congratulations!" Zoe smiled, "First one engaged out of the three of us, how does it feel?" She asked laughing.

"Thank you, It's making me feel older to be honest," Harry said laughing, his face still blushed from the cold morning air. "My back is starting to give out"

"Harry, you need to shower. You stink" I said grimacing.

Harry looked at me, smiling as he stepped closer in-between my legs that were hanging from where I sat on the counter, his hands now near my bum. "So Zoe, did Rylynn tell you about the cottage trip?" Harry asked, ignoring my comment.

"Yes, I'm very excited!" She said smiling "Just like old times"

"Harry, really. Go Shower" I said just to annoy him.

"Fine, I'm going." Harry laughed, before returning his gaze back to Zoe "See ya, Zo! Good luck on those exams. Hurry home, so you can entertain this one and then maybe she'll stop bothering me" Harry said giggling as I swatted him on the head.

"Forget the pancakes I made for you, you jerk" I said hopping down from the counter as soon as Harry moved.

"You make pancakes?" Harry said from behind me, "Thanks Ry," He said wrapping his arms around me from behind and kissing my cheek.

"HARRY, GET OFF ME" I said as a nervous smile broke through my face as he finally left the kitchen, running upstairs. I smiled, shaking my head.

"You put the sun in the sky for that boy, Ry." Zoe said "I just hope he realizes it"
