Six months!

Six months since your gruesome breakup with Tom. As soon as you and Harrison arrived to his flat that day, Tom was waiting for you. He explained how much he messed up, and extremely wished that he could take it back, make you stay. But you didn't listen. You knew about all the sneaking out and all the texts about working late when he was really at your favourite restaurants with a different girl. You knew it all, and an apology wasn't going to make it any better.

Day by day you got better, occasionally seeing Tom on your Instagram and Twitter feed. He was broken, to say the least. The posts slowed down, his captions turning from lively to a plain word or two. You no longer felt bad for leaving, though. If you had stayed there any longer, you too would be broken.

The place you called home now was Harrison's apartment. He made sure you were well taken care of and properly loved.

Which meant that he had started to fall in love with you. He knew it was wrong in some type of way; falling in love with his best friend's ex-girlfriend, but it happened somehow. You reciprocated the feelings, too.

Harrison was still friends with Tom, to some extent. He didn't share every single thing that happened with Tom anymore, feeling like it would break him even more. You helped get Tom back on his feet behind the scenes, too, sending him some of your pastries and sweets whenever you made them. You knew how much he loved your baking, and you believed that if you got him back on track, both of you could be friends again.

And after months of listening to your closest friend gush about Tom prior to your relationship, you tried to set her up with him, and the two both happily agreed. Although, you had messaged Tom saying if you merely thought of breaking her heart like he did yours, all hell would break loose.

The two were happily in an official relationship, Tom promising you and Harrison that he would keep her save and completely loved. And Tom was happy that you were being loved by one of his best friends, knowing that you deserved it after everything he had put you though. 

The front door shut, bringing your thoughts that were scattered around your home back into one place. You peeked over the couch, seeing Harrison with a big smile and a pile of roses in his hands. You smiled back, quickly getting up and pressing a kiss to his lips before taking the flowers and placing them on the counter, reminding yourself to put them in water fairly soon.

"You are amazing, Osterfield," you whispered against his lips, feeling them curve up to a smile.

"And so are you, my love." He replied, picking you up off of the floor. Your arms wrapped around his shoulders, placing your head in the crook of his neck. His arms wrapped around you, loving your embrace.

A tear slipped down your cheek, feeling your feet make contact with the floor again. Harrison's eyebrows tied together, wondering why you were crying. He brought his thumb up to wipe the tear away. You knew he was asking what was wrong by the way his teal colored eyes lightened up, him hating to see you cry.

"Thank you, for everything Haz. I love you." You explained, bringing him in for another love-filled kiss.
