Clash

The next few weeks flew by like crazy, Harry stayed with me a few days and we grew back to each other. I didn’t give in to him until the third day, which was a record to be honest. I never thought something was so difficult but resisting Harry, was probably the hardest thing I had ever done.

He didn’t push me and let me do my own thing. He was working most of the time. He told me he turned a new leaf after a year, he had realised that dealing in drugs wasn’t a thing he should be doing, so now he is a real estate manager and a rich one. He owns several buildings which makes a lot of profit and I couldn’t be more proud of him, it’s all I ever wanted for him to get out of the illegal business and now that he is, I couldn’t be prouder then to be his friend but as I said I only stayed a friend for three days.

I was hanging out in a club with my friends. We were dancing and drinking, when Harry suddenly appeared behind me and started dancing with me but he kept touching me and after a while he pulled me against him were I could definitely feel his arousal and that was enough to make me turn around and kiss him feverishly, I remember him kissing me back and eventually pulling me with him towards the toilets. I still can feel his lips on my neck as he whispered how sexy I was and that he needed me. We were both sweaty and hot from the dancing and that just made it more intense because I could still smell his sweat and it turned me on every time.

Never in a million years had I thought about having sex in a public toilet and then it happened. I was happy that this club maintained their toilets because otherwise it would definitely have turned out as a nightmare but ever since then we are back together but this time around, there is no violence, there is only happiness and peace.

“Anna?” I looked up from my sheet music to see Harry staring at me, with a smile on his lovely face.

“What?”

“I know you don’t want to go back to England but I was wondering if you would like to visit one of our friends?”

“Which one?”

“Niall, he is getting married.” Harry was still smiling, all the doubts he had two years ago, where gone and I have to admit that I never really thought about Niall since I was back home and I also didn’t feel guilty about it. I had closure when they said goodbye to me two years ago and apparently he had as well.

“I do have some off time so I guess I could come along.” I know I didn’t sound sure and I was happy that I never had to explain myself to Harry.

“Good, I hoped you would come, we will leave first thing tomorrow.” I had to gulp at that because I didn’t expect it to be this quick. Harry must’ve seen the look in my eyes because he immediately crossed the room and kneeled down in front of me. “Just breath love, we will return to America in seven days, I won’t force you to stay in England.”

I just nodded and took a deep breath. “I know; I have to pack.” I gave him a weak smile but he still let me go. I grabbed my suitcase and walked into my closet, it was winter in England so I grabbed a few sweaters and jeans and put one dress in my suitcase for the wedding. I didn’t take extra clothes because there was no way I would stay longer than those seven days. I wasn’t sure how long I had been staring at my suitcase but I was pretty startled when I felt Harry’s hand squeeze my shoulder.

“It’s going to be all right love, I promise.”

“I’m just scared.” I said quietly and that’s when he sat down in front of me and grabbed my face gently between his two hands and he pressed a soft kiss against my lips. “I know.”
“Maybe it’s better if you go alone.” Harry shook his head as he caressed my face. “You’re coming with me, you just have to trust me.”

I know I should trust him but I wasn’t sure if I could. He saw this in my eyes and he sighed deeply. “I know I deserve this but I really need you to trust me on this, please Anna?”
I bit my lip and looked at him and that’s when I realised that he was right, I should trust him, I forgave him right, so I was automatically trusting him. “I trust you.” He pulled me into his arms and we sat on the floor way to long.

The next day we were on our way to England and as we landed I felt a panic attack coming up. Harry noticed this as well and he quickly reached me a paper bag. “It’s going to be all right, before you know it we will be returning home.” I nodded whilst breathing into the paper bag. After a few minutes I was completely calm again and as we made our way to the wedding venue I never once looked outside but kept my eyes glued to my phone screen and the minute we stepped into the church, everyone turned to look at us.

“It’s Anna, she’s back.” I heard people whisper and as I tried to smile, Harry led me swiftly to the front. Two guys had gotten up and I recognised them immediately. “Liam, Louis!” I ran to them and hugged them tightly, they both chuckled at me.

“We missed you two darling.” Harry chuckled at the sight of us. He excused himself and left me with Liam and Louis, they let me sit between them and as we were talking, I saw Harry appear with none other than Niall. When he saw me, he stopped walking and blinked a few times, just to make sure I was really here and I couldn’t stop the smile that appeared on my face, this broke his frozen posture and he quickly made his way towards me and engulfed me into a bear hug.

“What are you doing here.” He whispered into my ear. I gently pushed him off so I could look at him. “I couldn’t miss you wedding could I?” I beamed at him and that made him smile.
“No that would just be rude.” He joked and as he hugged me again, the pastor gave the signal. I let go of him and took my seat again. Harry was his best man, which made me so proud. Not long after the wedding tune was being played and there was the blushing bride, she was none other than Julia. She looked stunning and I couldn’t be happier, the wedding was over before we knew it and we all moved to this little venue, which looked out over the city, it was absolutely beautiful.

I walked towards Niall and Julia and couldn’t help but smile. “Congratulations.” I hugged them both, the night went by really fast and I felt happy to have seen everyone again but I was knackered as we came to the wedding straight from the airport.

When we entered our hotel room I let myself fall on the big bed and fell asleep. Harry must’ve changed my clothes because I was only wearing his shirt when I woke up but there was no Harry.

I listened if I could hear the shower but it was too quiet in the room. I felt the fear in my heart when I threw of the blankets, I immediately started searching for something to hit with and I wasn’t disappointed to find a knife. Harry had room service, thank god. I quickly but on my jeans and that’s when my eyes fell on a rose near to the door. There was a note beside it.

“My love, please put down the knife.” I couldn’t help but giggle at this because he knew me all too well and as I put down the knife I continued reading. “I’m sorry for disappearing on you but if you head up to the roof, you will find me.”

I put on my shoes and made my way up and as I opened the door, I was blown away by all the candles that were lit. There was literally a path between the candles. I followed it and wasn’t surprised to see Harry standing at the end.

“There is my sleeping beauty.” He called me that a lot lately and I couldn’t say I minded. “What’s all this Harry?” I asked curiously even though I sort of knew because what else could it be?

“I think you know love but I will still ask you.” I kept my mouth shut and watched as he kneeled in front of me. He reached for my hand and I quickly gave it to him.

“Anna, I really want to marry you.” I pulled up my eye brows and he chuckled when he saw that. “Don’t worry, I have more.” He took a deep breath and started his speech.

“Anna, the first time I saw you, I knew you were the one for me and did I do everything to get you, yes I did and in that I almost lost you. I have mistreated you so many times but you never let me beat you. You showed me you are strong and that’s when I started to love you deeply. I dragged you through hell and forced you to become a violent person in order to protect yourself and others. I never thought we would make it out alive but you surprised me at every turn. The way you stood up and never gave up, well it gave me hope that you would one day forgive me. After we defeated Bradley, you left me and I was devastated but I understood why you left or better why the guys made you leave. I never lost track of you because I just couldn’t let you go, I was beyond myself when you started dating and felt relieved that you stopped dating, I always hoped it was because you still loved me and after two years I finally had the guts to travel to America and see you. I saw you on stage where you belonged and you looked healthy and happy and the love you put into you’re music blew me away and I knew it was time to talk to you. Never had I thought that you would even listen to me but then you did, surprising me yet again and to my biggest surprise and shock you forgave me.”

He had to stop as I was already blubbering but I just motioned for him to continue, which made him chuckle.

The last few weeks were the best weeks of my life and I really can’t imagine my life without you, so Anna, would you do me the greatest honour of becoming my wife?” I was shell shocked and felt a fear making its way back into my heart because what if he wanted me to stay here?

He saw the doubt as I looked around. He stood up and grabbed my head and made me look at him. “Anna, will you marry and live with me in America?” he had adjusted the question and all my doubts had disappeared, I leaned forward and kissed him gently.

“Yes I would love nothing more Harry.”
