What Does it Mean? ~ COMPLETED
New Year
♪December 24th♪
Harmony’s POV
I woke up early and wiggled out of Harry’s strong grasp and go to the bathroom to take a shower. I smell badly of sex, not that it’s a bad thing, but I don’t want to show up at Harry’s family’s house for Christmas smelling of sex. You can see why that would be a bad thing.
I quickly scrub the soap off of my body and shampoo my hair before getting out. I wrap a towel around my body and use another for my hair before walking to my closet. Lucky for me, it’s a walk-in closet, so I can change in there. I put on my outfit for the day and go back to the bathroom to blow dry and curl my hair. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=78939887. Zayn and Perrie had gotten me the Toms, and Dani and Liam got me the phone case. I think it was because Liam broke my phone case after dropping my phone. The phone didn’t break surprisingly, just my case.
Harry was still sleeping when I finished curling my hair, so I got out what Niall got me for Christmas. He got me what I’ve been wanting for years: an air horn. Harry doesn’t know I got it, but he will soon…
Harry’s POV
Hooooooooonnnnkk… Some form of horn near my ear causes me to wake up and fall on the floor.
“Wake up! We have to go meet your family today, and you still smell like amazing sex,” Harmony yells.
“Since when did you get an air horn, and hell yeah it was amazing. Best sex I’ve ever had.”
“Niall got it for me.”
“Well, I officially hate Niall. Why did he get you an air horn?”
“I wanted one. Duh! Now hurry up, we need to leave soon.”
Harmony’s POV
Harry finally finished showering and got dresses, and then we headed down to his car. I’m starting to feel really nervous about meeting his family? What if they don’t like me? What if I don’t fit in? What if they don’t think I’m right for Harry?
“Don’t worry, they’re going to love you!” Harry said as he pulled away.
“How do you know? They haven’t met me yet,” I questioned him.
“Because I love you, so they will love you. That’s all that matters.”
“I love you too, Haz. Now, eyes on the road. I don’t want to explain to your family why we couldn’t make Christmas because someone wasn’t paying attention.”
-
“Har, wake up. We’re here,” Harry cooed from beside me. That’s a funny word: cooed. Oh well. The more distractions the better.
I get out of the car and go to help Harry with our duffle bags, but he refused to let me hold mine. We walk up to the door together and the butterflies find their way back to my stomach.
“We’re here!” Harry yells when we walk in.
“Harry! How is my little boy doing?” a nice woman that looks like him asked.
“Hello, mum! I’ve missed you so much!” Harry said.
“And you must be Harmony! It’s so great to finally meet you. You’re even prettier than Harry said you were.”
“Thank you. It’s nice to finally meet you too,” I say, accepting her hug. She is so nice. Why did I ever have my doubts about them not liking me?
♪December 31st♪
“So, is everyone ready for Grimmy’s party?” Zayn asked.
“I was born ready!” Louis said.
“Then let’s go!” Liam said.
Right now, we are on our way to a New Year’s party at Grimmy’s place. I haven’t really met him, but he’s really close with the guys so I can’t wait. Grimmy has only heard about me from the guys since Harry and I have yet to go public, so my only concern is what the guys have told him about me.
-
“Well, if it isn’t One Direction and their girlfriends.”
“Grimmy!” the guys yell.
“Harry, introduce me to your girlfriend, will ya.”
“Grim, this is Harmony; Har, this is Grimmy.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” I say.
“It’s nice to meet you too. The guys have told me nothing but great things about you. I’m happy for you Harry. Hey, my room is open if you need it.” He winked at us then walked away. I laughed, and Harry just glared at the back of his head.
I’ve always wanted to spend New Year’s with friends, but New Year’s isn’t my favorite day. I’ve always spent it down in the dumps, metaphorically. I didn’t actually go to a dump. It’s just that, January 1st is my parents’ anniversary, and the day that they… died. I never actually celebrated after the incident.
The scene was too happy for me. All around, people are celebrating, laughing, and over all having a good time. It made me feel left out. I was wearing my fake smile, and anyone could tell compared to the genuine smiles shown throughout the room. I need to get out of here.
When Harry was busy talking to some other friends, I walked to the backdoor and out to the backyard. I sat down on the bench and held my knees to my chest. Stray tears slide down my face.
“Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad…” I whisper quietly. More tears flow down my face. I wish they were still here. I wish that they could be here, and I wouldn’t be crying right now. I wish that I had gone with them. I want them here with me. Drew always told me that if they could see me now, they would be proud of me. They would tell me to stop worrying over them, but I can’t. They were a huge part of my life, and they took that with them when they left. I have an empty void in myself, and there is nothing that can fill it.
Or maybe I already have something. Or should I say someone? Ever since Harry came into my life, I’ve slowly been getting pieces of it back. There’s no more emptiness. Harry has helped me fill the gap. I just always have a place in my heart for my mom and dad. Nothing will ever change that.
“Everything okay, Har?”
I turned to see Zayn, and I wiped some of the tears from my face. “I’m alright.”
“No you’re not. Why are you crying? It’s New Year’s. You should be inside partying. Tell me what’s wrong.” He sat down beside me.
“No, Zayn. You shouldn’t worry about me. Go back and enjoy yourself.”
“Har, tell me what’s wrong. I’m not going back inside until you tell me.”
I sniffle a little before starting. “The first is my parents’ anniversary. It’s also the day of their death…”
Zayn said nothing. He just pulled me close to him. He understood that I didn’t want sympathy; I just needed a friend to be there for me. I felt another presence join the hug on the other side while I continued crying.
“Louis, what are you doing here?” I asked.
“I wanted to see why my little sister is crying. Please, don’t cry.”
“Where is everybody else?”
“They are all inside. Harry is looking for you. He’s worried about you.”
“Okay,” I say and Louis helps me wipe the rest of the tears from my face. Luckily, I don’t wear makeup, so my face looks fine.
“There you are! Where were you? It’s almost midnight,” Harry says once we find him.
“Just thinking…”
“Okay, let’s go find the others. They’re about to start the countdown.”
“10… 9…. 8…” Harry grabs me by my waist to look at him, “5…4…” he slowly starts to lean in, “3… 2… 1… HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!” Harry’s lips crashed onto mine. Best New Year’s ever! 2013 is so my year.
♪January 1st♪
We ended up in Grimmy’s guest room. Let’s just say, we got drunk, and I have “no idea what happened after that.” Harry woke me up early and we snuck out of the house after telling Grimmy thanks. He said to make it up to him, we have to announce our relationship first on his show. I agreed, so next week Harry and I are going public. It’s time to let the world know. Plus, I don’t think Harry wants to wait to tell the world either. He claimed, “Everyone deserves to know that you are mine.”
Today is a day of new beginnings. Old traditions of crying in the corner of my room are gone and out the door. We are celebrating the New Year the right way, by doing all of our favorite things. We had pancakes for breakfast, went bowling, got Nando’s for lunch, played soccer, and went to a club. I’d say first day well done, and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year will bring me.
