One and Only Chapter 52
Five months had passed and you had moved up quickly at your job. Living in Los Angeles had such a different vibe from being in London but you missed so much about it. Your friends were great but they couldn't make-up for the people you left at home.
Every week you and Niall scheduled one day to Skype and every time you talked to him it lasted for hours and when one of you had to go you got emotional. Seeing his face broke your heart because not only did you miss him but he was the constant reminder of Harry.
You occasionally read his letter when you couldn't take the thought of missing him. The first word always made you emotional and there was so many times when you couldn't finish the letter because the words were hard to read through your tears.
On so many sleepless nights you went through your photo album and relived all the times you and Harry had. Every picture was a constant reminder of how Harry held the key to your happiness.
You promised yourself to not contact him until the day you were going to get back with him. It wasn't fair to him if you talked to him then went back into hiding and hearing his voice would just torment you since he was so far away.
You deleted all your social networks and avoided gossip because you didn't want to see Harry. Whenever he did come to sight you tried to brush it off and pretend it didn't matter but underneath it all you knew you missed him.
To ignore your feelings you always overloaded yourself with work because staying busy meant less time thinking about him. On your breaks you pulled out Harry's necklace from the inside on your shirt, from the day on the airplane you never removed it because that was the closest you were to Harry.
One day after work you drove up the hill instead of heading home. You parked on the hillside and made your way up to the observatory. There was hardly any people since it was a weekday so you found a spot on the grass next to this group who had a man playing the acoustic guitar.
He played different tunes but when darkness fell and the lights of Los Angeles lit up he began to sing. His voice was so soothing and he portrayed the emotion of the songs so well. A girl that was with the group began to sing with him when they covered "A Thousand Years" By Christina Perri .
Every word described how you felt. You hugged your knees and slowly cried thinking about all the great times with Harry.
I have died everyday waiting for you. Darlin' don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years.
It made you remember the day Harry confessed his love to you and how he promised you to do his best not to hurt you and how you had to take a chance on him.
And all along I believed I would find you. Time has brought your heart to me.
The first and last day you saw him replayed over and over in your head. When the song was over you wiped your tears away and applauded along with some other people. The couple that sang smiled at you with much gratitude and you returned the smile.
When you turn to face the city you pulled Harry's necklace forward so you could see it. "I have died everyday waiting for you, describes me so well" a males voice said from behind you. When you heard his voice you blushed because he had been listening to the song and obviously noticed how much it affected you.
When he sat down next to you he pointed to the sky "I heard Jupiter was going to be very visible tonight" you smiled and turned your head to face him "Saturn, Saturn is going to visible". His big smile was so visible even in the night sky.
The city's light hit his eyes perfectly and those emerald green eyes that you had missed so much were gleaming back at you. "I was just trying to seem like I knew what I was talking about" he slightly laughed.
" Nice attempt. What are you doing here?" "We got to LA earlier and I just needed some time for myself. No better place than here" " I had to come clear my mind also" "Of what?" "Oh all the emotions I had been holding in" "Still trying to be strong" he smiled.
You looked at him and he was more beautiful than you could remember. Everything you had held in for months busted through your walls and the tears ran down your face within seconds Harry had you in his arms.
"I've missed you so much Beyoncé. I was starting to think that this day was never going to come" "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" you cried. "Sorry for what?"
"For leaving you, it was so stupid of me because I fooled myself into believing that I was fine but I fucking missed you. I thought distance and time would heal me but there was no way to forget you. I love you so much and there is no one that will ever come close to you".
Harry seemed to be heartbroken because you had never broken down like this. "No one will or can love you like I do" he whispered and he kissed you. You melted as his lips took your lips. All the hurt and misery seemed to be erased as the kiss got passionate.
He pulled back "promise me you will never flee from me again, I don't think my heart can take so much pain again" "I don't ever want to leave your side again because my happiness is with you" you hugged him.
His cologne hadn't changed and that is the scent you never wish to miss again. You two laid down and talked about what had happened in these past months. Harry and Kate ended their "relationship" two weeks after you left because Kate was caught making out with some music producer at a wedding that Harry attended so the scandal was the key to his liberty.
Harry had to deal with interviews on asking how he felt and he confessed it wasn't going to work anyways because his heart was given away a long time ago. He told you about all the different ways he tried to track you down but it was like you had fallen off the face of the planet.
The only time he heard about you was when he begged Niall to talk. You told him about your new job and the people you had met. "How long are you in town for?" "For two more days then we head back home" "Oh" you said a bit disappointed because soon he would be gone again.
"You should visit Niall before we leave because I know he would really love to see you" " I will have to try after work and speaking of work I have to get going. I wake up early" you stood up. "Let me walk you to your car". You nodded and you two walked down the hill. He reached for your hand and his touch made you feel like you were falling in love for the first time.
"You know every night as I rolled around on my bed I wondered if you were thinking about me. All I wanted to do was hold you close but the closest I got to that was in my dreams" you said in a low voice because your words were only meant for him.
"I stood up late at night and just thought about us" he confessed. "I honestly didn't lay on the left side of the bed because I hoped one night you would be filling the empty space" you said a bit embarrassed.
"I had to put a picture of us on the nightstand because that was the only way I was going to wake up to your smile". You squeezed his hand and you didn't want to let go but you two had arrived at your car. "I guess this is goodbye" you awkwardly hugged him before trying to unlock your door.
" Beyoncé, wait!" Harry pleaded before running to your side. "I promised myself that if I ever saw you again I wouldn't let you escape" He reached into his jacket pocket and when he found what he was looking for he kneeled down onto one knee.
"Harry what are you doing?" "The day you left you took my heart with you. On my way home I bought this in the hopes that I would find you one day. I knew I had to make you mine and if destiny brought us together I wasn't going to screw it up.
Beyoncé I want to wake up to your smile everyday for the rest of my life. I want to share my ups and my downs with you. I want to be able to tell you I love you whenever I want and I want to be able to hug and kiss you. I want to hold your hand no matter where we are.
I want to be able to call you my wife. You have always been the one and only person for me, I can never stop loving you. So, Beyoncé would you give me the honor of being your husband?". You covered your mouth with one hand as the tears came out and your tongue was tied so you nodded a dozen times as he slid the ring onto your finger. When it was on he jumped up and spun you around and you kissed him.
"I love you so much babe" you cried out. He held you in his arms and the musical couple from earlier asked if you two wanted a picture taken to celebrate. Harry gave them his phone and he kissed you as the girl took the picture. "Thank you so much" you smiled.
"We wish you both a lifelong marriage filled with happiness" "As to you" Harry thanked them. You two looked at the photo and all of Los Angeles filled the background but you and Harry stole the attention.
"Now let's go home" "Home is wherever you are" you whispered as he swept you off your feet and carried you to his car. When he ran over to his side you looked at your ring and on the side he had one and only engraved. As he buckled himself he turned to look at you and his love for you was so radiant. "Because of you I stop being scared.
You made me forget my past and you showed me what true love feels like. Until I met you I had never felt so worthy of someone's affection. You proved yourself to be the only one for me. Thank you for never giving up on me and I will never regret giving you a chance.
It wasn't easy for me to give myself to you completely but now you have me completely. I promise to always love you and I will to the end of time. Harry you have made me a better person and I can never not love you for that. Now take me home because you are my reason my home is back in London". Harry took your hand and kissed it, "I'm forever yours".
-The End.
