Harry's POV

It was Sunday evening , when the whole gang was returning from the weekend getaway. Liam and karlie along with Drew and Hailee were sitting in the bunk of the SUV, I had Nat beside me in the mid seat, while the youngest pair Niall and Naomi were sitting in front, Niall was driving , and Naomi was shotgun.

I had Natalie's fingers intertwined with mine, she seemed quiet hostile. I could feel there was something going on inside her head, something bothering her. She was having second thoughts on Princeton, ever since she got the selection letter. She even spoke to me about taking a year of sabbatical. Since I ignored the plan, she's been fretful.

I want to be with her ... don't get me wrong, but not by sabotaging her future.

"Hey you alright?" I squeak.

"Ya." She mumbled.

"So guys since we are almost home, and by tomorrow morning you are anyhow going to hear about this, it's better you hear it from Liam and me now." Karlie announced.

"That you are pregnant!" Naomi exclaimed.

"What? No! ." Liam added, and continued, "Since I am the student body President I gotta make an announcement tomorrow regarding Prom."

"Also I am the President for prom committee, hence I wanted to inform you guys it's in a month, two weeks before graduation." Karlie chimed.

"Also the theme is drum rolls please 'Moulin Rouge!' " Hailee screamed.

"Whoa the Nicole Kidman movie .... eww..." Naomi added.

"Hey it's not about the movie it's about Paris, it's about Bohemian revolution, about love, and fighting for it."Karlie added.

Well fighting for love kinda my situation right now. The rest of the drive was silent, we dropped everyone, and lastly arrived at the Peters residence. We descended to the porch. While Niall and Naomi took out the bags.

"You sure, you are Okay?" I asked her again.

"Yeah."

I kissed her goodnight and we left after she and Naomi closed the door behind them.

Natalie's POV

The vacation was a much needed break from the media, paparazzi and the celebrity life.
Bora bora so peaceful, the beaches... the serenity one could feel was incomparable.
Returning to New York, Grant was quiet chippy.

"So there's gonna be paps at the airport, I instructed Micheal to get the car as soon as we land."

I just smiled a yes.

"You've been awfully quiet." He's said cupping my face.

"No I'm not, I just like listening to you when you talk."

"Oh you mean blabber."

"Or ranting ."

We started laughing. His smile was so pure, as though his heart was smiling.

"Nat you've been awfully quiet." Karlie said.

"Yep since we've been back from the trip." Hailee added.

"No I'm fine." I said.

"Sure cause, tripping over in a straight road,and dead staring at object for continuous hours and having Elliot smith on repeat are stuff that people who are fine do." Naomi said.

"Gosh, are you fine Nat?" Hailee said.

"It's just I can't decide whether to take a sabbatical, or not for the next year."

"Why the hell would you want to take a sabbatical?" Karlie quizzed.

"You've already been accepted at Princeton isn't it?" Hailee squealed.

"She wants to stay for Harry, because he will be going to NYU or Columbia or any colleges in New York, not in New Jersey." Naomi added.

"Girl you can't just jeopardize your future for a boy."

"Theirs gonna be a lot of hot boys in college." Karley added.

"It's not like that, what I feel for Harry cannot be just removed, I can't unfeel for him. No one can just take his place."

"Nat you need to calm down." Naomi said.

"You know what I am calm, I am just tired of listening to everyone ranting about my future, what if I don't want that future, what if I just want him."I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I knew I had spoken a tad bit too loud, when the whole gym which was buzzing five minutes ago, was at a stoic silence . All eyes were on me. I ran out .

"Hey babe we've landed."

"Oh really we did."

"You were already sleeping so I didn't want to disturb you." Grant said.

"Oh that's fine I'll get my bag."

Harry's POV

She ran out of the gymnasium, screaming. She was having an outburst, all those suppressed emotions, feelings. I felt like Natalie had it all, and she was overwhelmed. I ran behind her, through the corridors, all the way to the football ground.

"Hey Nat wait up!" I pleaded trying to catch my breath.

She sat there quietly. No tears in her eyes yet. Her thoughts seem too blank, or maybe she had made up her mind, it was really hard to read.

"I'm taking a sabbatical."

"But Nat-."

"I don't want to discuss it, it's my future."

"But your parents."

"I'll convince them, I never broke a rule in my life, always followed what they said , I might be making a foolish decision, but for the first time in my life I am listening to my heart, so to hell with it."

Whoa Natalie Peters has lost it, she's gone crazy but she's crazy for me. I pull her closer and hug her.

"Feeling better."
I could hear her chuckle.

"Listen I am getting my own place, with a friend of mine, you could move in with me."

"I don't want to be a headache for you ."

"Nat."

"Oh- oh- you just asked me to move in with you ... oh - okay yeah.."

Natalie's POV

The papz were scattered at the airport. They claimed to have asked questions but all I understood, that they wanted to make a living by publishing every second of my day.
I ignored them and walked past them tightly holding Grant's hand when I heard one of them shouting.

"Natalie, we heard you're sister didn't know about your wedding? Are you planning not to invite her?"

I gazed at him, until I felt Grant pull me away. That's when I realised how far apart we have grown the person who once knew every bit of my life asked if she had to RSVP at my wedding . I still remember when I told her what happened after I left the gymnasium.

"You agreed to what now?" Naomi screamed.

"To move in with Harry." I mumbled.

"No NO NO, you didn't agree to move in with Harry. You agreed to move out of Peters residence and probably out of the lives of our parents."

"Naomi...."

"Okay let me put it like this. What makes you think mom is gonna let you take a sabbatical."

I turned to her to sigh when she responded.

"Nat, what's wrong with with you, for a moment mom and dad may even agree for a sabbatical, but moving in with the guy for whom you're taking the sabbatical.
ARE YOU KHAAARAAAZYYYYY"
