ALURA's POV
                          
Harry froze. He stared at me for a bit and then turned to look back up. I don't know what he's thinking, I just know this is embarrassing for me.
                          
"Oh."
                          
I feel so stupid. We aren't even dating and I just told him I'm in love with him. We'd still be laughing and looking at the stars if I would've just kept my mouth shut.
                          
"I have to meet Daphne." I forced a smile.
                          
"Alura, I'm sorry," Harry apologized, even though he did nothing wrong.
                          
"It's okay." I left the tower, knowing damn well it's nowhere near midnight, but I still feel like I need to talk to someone about this.
                          
When I got to the common room, I immediately went to Daphne's dorm. She answered when I knocked, and as soon as she saw my face, she hugged me and invited me inside.
                          
The dorm was empty, luckily for me. I sat on my old bed and Daphne sat next to me.
                          
"What happened?"
                          
"I told Harry I was in love with him, and I think I screwed everything up. He just stared at me afterward. I'll never forget his face." 
                          
"Here, let me go get you a towel," Daphne offered, seeing I was soaked from the rain.
                          
She came back and wrapped it around me, using her hands to rub up and down my back.
                          
"I'm sorry, Lura. I'm sure he'll come around," she said, full of hope.
                          
"There's nothing to come around to. I said it too early, and Harry I guess is-"
                          
"In love with you," she interrupted me. "He's in love with you. If he wasn't, you all would still hate each other. He wouldn't have made an effort to become friends with you again. Hell, he asked Blaise for help. And Harry does not like Blaise, according to you." She laughed and so did I.
                          
I spent so much time trying to keep us apart when Harry knew that was the opposite of what I wanted. He did everything he could to keep us together, and what did I do? I ran away each time.
                          
Each time Harry comes back just for me to run again. He's telling me to stop running.
                          
"Lura, you okay?" asked Daphne.
                          
"Yeah, better than okay. Um, I need to go."
                          
Daphne had a knowing look on her face and she smiled. "First" - she rushed up and opened her closet, pulling out a red dress from the hanger - "put this on."
                          
I chuckled. "It's raining outside."
                          
"And if he's really the one for you he'll offer you a jacket. Now put it on!" she rushed me.
                          
"Fine." I put it on as she asked, and as I was running out the door, Daphne swiped my ponytail holder out of my hair.
                          
I didn't have time to run back and get it, I didn't want Harry to come back in before I got a chance to see him.
                          
This is it, I thought to myself as I walked up the last few steps of the astronomy tower.
                          
He's still here. He's taking the lights off the railing. I stepped forward, and he finally saw me.
                          
"You came back," he remarked with a small smile.
                          
"I'm done running." Without even thinking about my next movements, I walked up to him and kissed him, our lips colliding hungrily. 
                          
He held my lower back as he kissed me. Slow and hard. My hand fell to the side of his neck while his hand slid up my back. As I kissed him, the rain got in the way, but all I could think about what him.
                          
For the first time in a long time, I wasn't worried about what would happen after this. Because I knew what I wanted to happen.
                          
We did have to break apart for air, but I don't think I'll ever breathe again after that.
                          
And as Daphne said, he took off his jacket and put it around my shoulders.
                          
"You look beautiful," he complimented. "But you're gonna freeze to death, and I'd prefer you to be alive." He chuckled.
                          
I smiled and let him walk me back to my dorm. He didn't leave right after I got back, but I'd rather keep the rest of the night to myself...
