And I will Fall For You...

Another short story I wrote when I was 14 and still thought I’d be ending up with Harry Styles....*sigh*

My best suggestion would be to listen to “Fall” by the ever talented Ed Sheeran while reading. Enjoy xx

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I hit the shuffle button on my iPod, not caring what song came on but just hoping for some release. The subsitute had us doing some busy work that was as boring as it was long. It felt like this class would never end.

A fast beat song came on just then, but I was in the mood for something slower. Clicking the forward arrow absent-mindedly, I went back to reading in the textbook. I heard the first few chords of a slow song but the thought didn't register in my mind what song it was till I heard the first verse. A smile lit up in my face and I tried to hide it in my hair. My mind flashed back to a month ago, me standing in the airport, crying onto my boyfriend's shoulder.

"Y/N, please don't cry." His head was nestled in my neck, his soft curls tickling my ear.

"Harry, this honestly sucks!" I sniffled into his shoulder, no doubt getting snot all over his t-shirt.

"I know, it really does." He chuckled sadly. Pushing me away a little, his hands still around me, he rested his forehead on mine. "We will see each other sooner than you realize. These six months will be over before we even know it."

I smiled at him sadly, trying to be brave. I hated crying in front of Harry, in front of anyone. I didn't like people, especially him, to see me when I was weak.

He lifted a finger under my chin and tilted my head up till we were staring into each other's eyes. "I love you, Y/N. Don't ever forget that."

I threw my arms around his neck and sobbed. This was not a strong moment for me.

"I love you too, Harry!" His hold on me tightened. He let go after some time and reached into his back pocket, bringing out a CD case.

"I made you a playlist to listen to. I know it sounds cheesy, but I want you to listen to it whenever you're missing me." He smiled at me lovingly. "One thing I definitely don't want you doing, however, is staying home and wallowing in your sadness. You have to promise me you'll have fun while I'm away."

"I will, Harry. I promise." I laughed softly, tears still falling down my cheeks.

"Harry!" Niall called from afar, "It's almost time to board!"

I started to panic. This was it. Our last goodbye for a long, long time. Harry threw on his backpack, his duffle in one hand and his sweatshirt in the other.

"I'll call you when I land, yeah?"

"Yeah, alright." I was looking down at my shoes. I couldn't bear to see his face, knowing I'd just start sobbing again. I felt his hand caress my cheek and I looked up reluctantly. He stared into my eyes for a beat or two before closing the distance between us with his lips. They were soft, like always. I could taste the saltiness from my tears mixed in with the kiss. Harry broke our kiss to pull me in for one last hug. He pulled away sharply then, his eyes red and misty. He had never cried in front of me before. It saddened me that his leaving was the reason for both of our tears.

He shakily fixed his hair, flipping his bangs to the side and sniffling every so often.

"Right, so, you got the cd-"

"Got it." I held up the case, a sad smile on my face.

"Good. Um, right, so-"

"Wait! I've got something for you, too!" I reached into my bag that was by my feet. "I can't believe I almost forgot." I got out a leather journal with a leather fastening around it and gave it to him. "It's so you can write in it while you're away. I already wrote something in it, but you can't read it till you're on the plane. And there's some other surprises in there, too, but you'll have to find those on your own." I smiled up him, hoping he liked it. I was confused, however, when he didn't say anything for a couple minutes. "Well? D-do you like it?" I asked carefully.

"No one's ever given me something this meaningful before." He was staring at the journal, running over it with his fingers.

"I don't know if it's really meaningful, per say." I said, trying to make light of the situation.

"It is, Y/N. I love it. Thank you." He hugged me tightly to him, my arms fastening around his waist.

"Harry!" Liam shouted from the security line.

"Right." Harry pulled away and bent down to grab his duffle that had fallen to the ground some time during our hugging and kissing. He started to walk towards security, but he quickly turned around, walking back to me and shoving his sweatshirt into my hands.

"Harry! You need this! It'll be cold in Glasgow." I tried to give it back but he wouldn't take it.

"Take it, Y/N. I want you to keep it warm for me till I get back." He smiled a happy smile for the first time that day and I smiled back. He kissed me one last time, every unspoken word being said with each pull of our lips.

Before I knew it, he was walking towards the security line and I stood watching him. I watched him walk through the metal scanner and he waved at me, blowing me a kiss before he dissapeared with the other boys towards their gate.

I sighed to myself, trying not to dwell on how much I missed him right now. I smiled to myself just then, remembering when I first loaded the mix-cd onto my computer and not only realizing it was a playlist of my favorite songs, but that it was Harry singing all of them. The song that was playing right now was "Fall" by Ed Sheeran with Harry singing it acoustically, a single guitar in the background. Cliché song, I know, but it set my heart all a flutter hearing Harry's deep voice hit every note. 'Only five months left to go.' I thought bitterly. Just then my phone vibrated. I smiled brightly at the message on my screen

Harry: Hey babe! Just finished in Belfast. Flying into Dublin tomorrow. Miss you and love you! XXX

Suddenly, five months didn't feel so long.
