Harry’s POV

“This is the last time we get to lay like this for a couple weeks.” Carly whispered looking into my eyes.

“I know.” I frowned feeling her lace her fingers with mine.

“I’m going to miss this.” She mumbled. “Sorry, that sounds clingy.” She giggled quietly.

“I will too.” She looked absolutely gorgeous without even trying, I really didn’t want to leave but I had to. “Are you coming with us to the airport?”

“If it’s okay with you?” She asked shyly.

“Of course.” I smiled leaning forward to kiss her cheek. “Just be ready to have to hang out with Perrie and be casual about everything that happened with that situation.”

“I know, I’ll be okay.” She shrugged grabbing her phone. “Shit, it’s already 8:30 and you have to pack. We should get us.”

“But I’m s comfortable…” I complained.

“Me too but come on, we have to.” She frowned and stood up.

Seeing her walk around in a shirt that barely covered her body gave me chill, she didn’t seem to mind me watch her walk around aimlessly. I smiled at her as she walked over to my side of her bed.

“Harry” She whispered leaning down, her lips almost touching mine. “Come on, you have to go.”

She leaned down and touched her lips to mine quickly before walking around her room again. I sighed and got out of bed; she watched me stand up and stretch. She had this compassionate look in her eyes when I looked into hers. After our conversation we had last night, I’m surprised that she even wanted to see me; I told her some of my deepest secrets and stuff I’d never told anyone besides the guys.

“I’ll see you later.” I mumbled walking toward the door absent-mindedly.

“Okay.” She smiled walking with me. “Thanks for talking with me last night, Harry.” She leaned up and pecked my cheek.

“Thanks for letting me.” I chuckled opening the door.


Carly’s POV

“I cant wait until you guys get back, the house is going to be so quiet.” I mumbled into Niall’s ear as we hugged each other good bye at the airport.

“I’m gonna miss you.” He squeezed my waist a little tighter.

“I’m going to miss you too Ni.” I kissed his cheek as we let go.

I watched Demi almost jump into his arms and embrace him in an emotion-filled hug. Seeing them like that was cute to me, I knew they really loved each other. Harry was the last person I had to say goodbye to; he was talking to Louis and El.

“Hey” I smiled up at them.

“Uh, Lou, can I talk to you about something?” El stuttered pulling him away.

“So?” I looked into those familiar green eyes that made my head spin, they seemed to stare right into my soul.

“Carly, I don’t want to go.” He blurted out.

“I don’t want you to either but I know you have to.” I saw the shock in his eyes. “But we can talk all the time, well whenever we aren’t busy with work.”

“Promise?” He asked holding out his pinky.

“I promise.” I laughed hooking pinkies with him. “This is so childish!”

“True but it’s still effective.” He looked at me with the ‘you know I’m right’ look that made me laugh even harder.

“Guys, we gotta go.” Liam looked down at his phone screen while talking.

“So, this is it.” Harry’s eyes weren’t as intense as a few seconds ago but I knew mine weren’t either.

“Yea, it is.” I mumbled.

I had my arms wrapped around his neck before he knew what was going on, he gripped my waist and pulled me closer to his body. His heart was racing and I’m sure mine was too.

“When you get back, if you still want this, then we can make this official.” I whispered into his ear.

“I’ll still want this.” I could hear his smile through his words.

“Well, we can make sure of that when you get back.” I giggled leaning back.

“Okay.” He was still smiling when we let go of each other. “I have to go…”

“I know.” I leaned up and kissed his cheek, letting my lips linger a little bit longer than they need to. “Bye Harry.”

“Bye Carly.” He mumbled before walking away with the guys.

I watched him walk next to Louis toward a terminal in the back. He looked back and smiled at me before disappearing. I knew the next two weeks would be weird without them but I had a feeling it would be fun.

“You okay?” El asked making me jump.

“Huh? Oh yea, I’m okay.” I smiled at her and turned around.

“I have to go.” Demi frowned looking down at her hands.

Everyone took a turn saying bye to her and then it came to me. I pulled her aside and looked into her dark eyes.

“Thank you for everything Demi. I don’t know what I would have done without you.” She knew exactly what I meant and smiled.

“You’re welcome.” She giggled. “You can text me whenever you need to talk but I know you have people here you can talk to.”

“I do, but you already know the situation and I trust you with it.” I reached into my purse and pulled out a small gift bag. “This is for you.”

She took it out of my hand gently and opened it. Her eyes changed when she saw what was in the bag; it was a pair of ‘80’s styled glasses with a floral print on them.

“I love them, thank you.” She smiled and pulled me into a hug.

“You're welcome. I know you need to go, I just had to give them to you before you go.” I looked into her eyes again. “Be safe.”

“You too.” Her smile faded as she adjusted her purse. “Bye Carly.”

“Bye Demi.” I watched her leave and knew that it wouldn’t be the same without her at the apartment.

“We should go.” El mumbled into my ear as she pointed toward a group of security guards standing by an exit.
