Remember Again~PART 2

Harry

I coughed, the foul smell registering in my mind. Slowly, my eyes opened. I didn't want them to open, though. I didn't want to remember what happened just the day before. I didn't want to remember the words... Maddox.

Sighing, I sat up after pushing a trash can off me. Must've fallen on me last night, I thought.

It was horrible. The words he said to me, the way they made me feel... But if that was the way he felt, it wasn't right for me to keep bordering his personal space.

It wasn't right for me to stay.

I groaned, but succeeded in getting upright on my feet, and immediately the world spun a few seconds.

The streets were bustling, so it must've been around noon. The sun was out and it felt hot. No wonder so many people were out.
I contemplated what I would do next. Get a job? Yeah, I should probably do that... I mean, if I wanted to survive, otherwise I could just let it be and starve with my best friends, the trashcans.

At least they won't want me to leave.

Spotting a shop where I could maybe apply, I began walking to it. But then, I suddenly heard my name being called.

I whipped my head backwards, the sight before me making me gasp.

"HARRY!"

Maddox got out of his car, running to me as if he was the Flash.

"Maddox...?"

His strong arms embraced me.

"I was looking for you everywhere!" he said, still embracing me.

"M-Maddox?" I didn't know what to say, stunned, "what are you doing here?"

"I'm so sorry, Harry. I'm so so so sorry! I didn't mean any of it," he apologized, pulling away to look at me.

"You don't have to apologize for you feelings, it's totally okay. I know I was intrudi-"

"No, no! That's what I'm trying to tell you. You weren't intruding, at all," he cut me off. He was still holding me closely, while I was just standing there a bit awkwardly. "Harry, I like you."

I gasped, my eyes widening to the size of saucers. Did he just...

"I've liked you for the longest time...," he confessed.

"But yesterday-"

"Yesterday was fucking dumb. I just... You said you didn't like staying with us, and it just fucked with my head or something," he murmured, eyes looking down.

"I didn't mean it like that," I frowned, still trying to wrap my head around the fact the boy I've had a crush on for like 92288228 years, just revealed he liked me "I just felt like an inconvenience. I-it's what overthinking does to me."

He lifted his hand to caress my face, but then let it fall back to his side before it could even touch me. "So would you like to come back with us? Mom's waiting in the car, by the way. If it's uncomfortable because I like you, I'll try to back off as much as possible. But please... Come with us? I really can't leave you out here alone. "

In this moment, the always so calm and collected Maddox didn't fit his description at all. And it was rare for me to see him like this. So open.

But that made me love him even more.

"I'll come with you," I murmured, trying to bite back a large grin. To be honest, I didn't want to get my hopes up that much. Disappointment was lurking everywhere.

The largest smile I had ever seen, formed on Maddox' face. "You're for real?!"

I nodded, the smile I had tried to hold back made an appearance. He laughed, and picked me up, spinning me around.

"Maddox! Wow!" I gasped, placing my hands around his neck by the surprise.

He quickly put me down, his large posture towering over my smaller one.

"Sorry. I just got really excited," he apologized, almost embarrassed, but still all smiles.

"Uhm, don't worry about it," I said, rubbing my arms awkwardly.

For a few moments, he just looked at me. "Harry, I'm really sorry about yesterday. I would take it back if I could. You saying you wanted to leave, remembered me of the fact you could never like me like I like you. And I just-"

"It's okay, Maddox," I smiled. He seemed shocked by me saying his name.

And to be honest, it was totally okay. Because the boy I had liked for x amount of years, liked me back. Because the most beautiful person in the whole world felt the same as me.

"I-I like you too..."

Maddox stilled, eyes looking at me as if I was crazy and I didn't know what I was saying.

"What?"

"I like you," I repeated, "so much."

Before I knew it I got picked up by his strong arms, our chests pressed together.

"I like you too. So so so so much," he murmured, the words whispered against my neck.

I shivered, smiling against his neck.

"Guys, beautiful reunion and blablabla, but can we get going? You guys are standing in the middle of the footpath!" Sabrina yelled at us.

But Maddox didn't care and ignored his mother. He pulled back from the hug to look me in the eyes.

"May I kiss you?" He asked.

I wanted to scream, to jump up and down and to dance my way throughout the whole street. Instead I simply answered his question.

"Yes," I agreed, my face burning red.

With a small smile Maddox, the boy I had been waiting for so long, kissed me.

I didn't want to forget anymore, I wanted to keep remembering, to remember how he held me and how I felt.

I wanted to remember again and again and again.
