Harry

So far everything was going as we planned; I had no problem with crew of the film. They happily agreed to me and postponed the wrap up party. Everyone was informed about the change except Alex, and of course her 'date'.

"You sure everything is set as I told you, I want no last minute screw ups."

"It's all done, don't worry."

I exhaled as Max, patted my back and passed me. I was nervous, well I had all good reasons to be, if today doesn't work, my wait from past three years would go futile. So there is no way, I'm letting that happen. As the time passed, I grew more and more nervous. As if on cue, I heard the voice I had been expecting.

"All set Harold?" I saw Louis walk in, followed my Liam and Niall.

"Louis, you fucking scared me, you promised to be early mate."

"We're here now, aren't we now?"

"Of course Li, that means a lot." And I meant it by my heart, if not for these boys, I would have never survived these years. They were always by my side, through all the thick and thin. I know once we were five, but now four, but that doesn't mean I will ever forget my Bradford dork. He may have grown apart, but I know inside each of our hearts, we still love him as much we used to.

"Enough of all the crap, I am here to challenge that Troy dude to a rap battle."

"Like really Ni?" We all burst out laughing.

"Okay, let's get this done, for Harry. Yeah?" Louis raised eyebrows looking at each of us.

As we were going to do our routine huddle before the concerts or in fact any mischief we plan together, we heard another voice echo through the room.

"Wait guys, I am in too." We stood there agape, not able to take in the reality standing before us.

"Zayn?" Liam spoke up first.

"You?" Louis followed.

"C'mere." I ordered. Hustling together into a tight hug, I reminisced, our old memories. I didn't know how he came to know about this, or why he bothered to show up. But one thing was proved; the love existing between each of us was a mutual feeling, a feeling shared by each of us. Words of apologies albeit unspoken, were exchanged by means of our actions.

Two minutes, and they would be here any moment. Through corner of my eyes, I saw Niall animatedly talking to Cora. If I didn't know for the fact that they met just a few hours ago, I would've mistook them for a couple, by judging the occasional blush creeping onto her cheeks, and the way Niall looked happy whenever she smiled. I was wrong when I assumed Cora would stay by her brother. Not only she helped me throughout everything, she even provided me with details I would've needed for this to work out.

"Harry, they're here." I heard Liam shout.

"Shit, Niall c'mon." I signaled Niall, who was quick to his feet to follow me to the back stage.

Through the curtains, I saw my Alex. Indeed surprise was written all over her face, seeing that this wasn't the supposed wrap up party she'd been invited. But the smile on her face confirmed that she liked the surprise. What took me by surprise was Troy, his face was calm which irked me, as if he had been expecting something similar. I reminded myself to not to fret over him, and rather concentrate upon the plan. Beside five of us, we had invited few of our other close friends who agreed upon the plan. I looked around the Hall, there were red curtains surrounding, well that wasn't included in the plan. But now, it's too late even to interrogate, so I let it pass.

Alex

Well certainly when I came here, I wasn't expecting a retro party organized b One Direction, at least that's what been told to me. I gazed around, feeling something strange about the whole scene. Everything seemed new, yet old. It was my first time meeting the other guys, excluding Zayn, yet they seemed familiar. I walked towards a small built up stage, where everyone stood. Troy stood beside me with an expression I couldn't decipher. The soft tune that started playing, attracted my attention towards the stage.

I finally saw Harry, sitting beside Niall, who had a guitar by his side. It was like a déjà vu, everything seemed so similar to something I couldn't get myself remember back. The struggle was real; I knew something was coming up.

As Niall struck the cords of the guitar, a deep thick voice of Harry filled my ears.

It's inevitable everything that's good comes to an end
It's impossible to know if after this we can still be friends, yeah

I felt a tug in my arm; it was Troy offering me a hand. I took it, and soon we were swing back and forth across the hall.

I know you're saying you don't wanna hurt me
Well, maybe you should show a little mercy
The way you look I know you didn't come to apologize

We guided me towards the edge of the room, were curtains were cascaded on the sides of room. In a quick swirl as I faced the curtains, they flew open revealing a huge wall sized picture of me in a blue dress. The fact the curtains opened and closed in the blink of my eyes didn't provide me with enough time to question about it. As we passed, I saw several pictures in a similar fashion, as I was about to question when I saw a particular picture of me and Harry, Troy unwrapped our hands, and ran away in the opposite direction.

Hey, hey, hey
If tomorrow you won't be mine
Won't you give it to me one last time?

Oh, baby, let me love you goodbye

With a one last glance in Harry's direction, I ran off towards the direction Troy went.

Unforgettable together, held the whole world in our hands
Unexplainable, a love that only we could understand, yeah

I know there's nothing I can do to change it
But is it something that can be negotiated?

Those lyrics, did it mean something, I wanted answers. I wanted to know, how fetus me was standing beside Harry smiling. I had to find to find to get him, to know those answers. As I followed his trail, I ended up reaching a dark room.

He stood there in the center of it, as I was about to question his weird behavior, the lights went on. As the lights flooded the room, I was surrounded with hundreds of photos dangling around the room.

As I gasped in those pictures, my memories starting flooding back to me like a tide of waves.

Mom

Dad

Ella

Harry

And most importantly Alexandra Tanner.

The sudden burst of memories brought in a tsunami of emotions within me, they confused me, they excited me, they made me feel lost. But Troy bought me out of my trance.

"Go catch him, before he slips away from you again."

I didn't need a second thought upon his words as I rushed through the hallways to where my lost love was waiting.

And then I saw him, kneeling beside the other four guys, his cheeks were stained, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Harry Styles"

He immediately stood up hearing my voice, still in a shocked state.

"Don't you need your Alex back?"

~ The End ~

I can't express it with words, how thankful I am to each and every soul who had been, supporting me throughout this book. If not for you, I would never have been so successful. I know how much each of you guys helped  me. I am forever thankful to that. 

And sorry if this wasn't the kind of ending you had been expecting, but I'll make it up in the epilogue I PROMISE.

thank you again for reading

As promised epilogue will be posted tomorrow.

All Love
