Omg guys i'm so so sorry I haven't updated in such a long time!!! I've been so busy lately. I went on a schooltrip to Brussels for 2 weeks so I couldn't update (oew and I also went to 1D in Brussels, it was freaking amazingg!!!!) 
                          
Then something terrible happened and I was really down. I was sad all the time and I didn't thought about writing or any fun thing for that matter. My best friend helped me true it and I went on holiday with her to Turkey. It was really awesome! Of course I had my ups and downs but I really needed this vacation. I'm more relaxed now and I feel like I can finally move on a little. Of course it's still hard but at least I feel a little better now. I got so many lovely support from my friends and family and of course from you guys. I already thanked you for that but i'm going to say it again; Thank you all so much! Your support and love has meant so much to me, it really did. 
I love you all xx

Chapter 25
                          
♡Emily's POV♡
                          
We decided to grab some coffee after our conversation. We both needed that I guess. The ride towards the coffee shop was really quiet and kind of awkward. I'm glad that I had told Harry though. It felt good to finally tell someone, especially Harry. It has always been hard for me to lie to him, so I'm glad I don't have to anymore. But of course I hadn't told him everything. It was already a very big step for me to tell him this much information. I couldn't tell him more, at least not for now. I think that's better for both of us. It must be a lot for him to take in.
                          
We sat down at the table and quietly drank our coffee. I glanced over at Harry who was staring at his coffee. I still couldn't believe that he told me he loved me. I've dreamed about him saying those words to me almost my whole life and I didn't even said it back.
                          
Suddenly his phone rang but he ignored it. "Don't you have to pick up your phone?" "Nah I'll call them back later." He shrugged. "Oh okay..." I took another sip of my coffee again. "I'm sorry." He muttered. "It's just a lot to take in. I still don't understand how someone can be that cruel." I slowly nodded. "Me neither and it's fine, I understand. Let's talk about something else yeah?" I tried to force a smile while he smiled at me. "Niall has been asking when you come over again." "Really? When we come back we all should hang out again. It was fun last time." "Yeah definitely." He smiled and took another sip of his coffee.
                          
Suddenly I felt my phone buzzing. When I checked it I saw a message from Sarah. "Hi having fun there? So we're going to the Moonlight cinema this Monday, wanna join? You can bring Harry as well ;) x" "What is the Moonlight cinema again?" I asked Harry. "It's the cinema outside in the park. Why?" "Oh that, well Sarah asked If I wanna join them on Monday. She said I could bring you too." "Like a date?" He smirked at me which made me blush a little. "Well if you consider a group of people watching a crappy old movie together then yes." "Wait will that Owen guy be there?" "Yeah I guess, he's part of the group, you know." "Hm we also could go with just the two of us. I think that guy is only trouble." "Yeah he probably is, but I like the others though and besides that, I want to hang out more with Sarah." "Alright." He nodded.
                          
I texted Sarah back and Harry and I went back to his house. When we came home Anne had already made dinner and we all sat down at the table. "I made lasagna!" Anne came back with a large casserole and put it on the table. "So what did you guys do today?" She asked. "We went to my old house." "Aha that's nice, it did changed a lot didn't it?" "Yeah it was weird to come there again." I said honestly.
                          
"Oh by the way Tony called for you Harry. He asked if you were still be able to come to the wedding." Anne said while I saw Harry's eyes widened. "Oh yeah um I'll call him back later." He stumbled. "Tony? You mean Tony from high school?" I asked surprisingly. He still have contact with him? I remember Harry never really liked him or maybe I was wrong... "Yeah that one." Harry quickly said and put the last piece of lasagna in his mouth.
                          
After dinner I helped Anne with the dishes while Harry ran upstairs, probably to call that Tony guy...
                          
When I walked upstairs I heard Harry on the phone. "I know, I know. Just give me a few more days, I'll fix it don't worry." I knocked on his door. "Harry?" I heard some whispering but then he opened the door. "Hey." He smiled. "Hey, I was wondering where I'm gonna sleep tonight. I don't bother you right?" "No of course not. Well you can sleep here if you want but the bed is pretty small so you can also sleep in the guest room." "I think I'll go for the guest room then." "So are you going to the wedding?" I plopped on his bed. "Wedding?" He raised his eyebrows. "Yeah didn't Tony called you about that?" "Oh that. Um yeah I don't think I'm going." He sat down next to me. "Oh why not?" "Oh I just have other stuff to do then." "Oh okay. I didn't know you were that close to him." "I'm not, we hang out together sometimes." I slowly nodded, I knew he was lying but whatever, it's probably nothing serious.
                          
"Alright well I'm going to sleep." I stood up and walked to the door. "Oh and thank you for today." I smiled at him. Should I tell him? He finally told me he loved me and I never said it back.... "It's okay Emms, good night." He gave me a small smile. "Good night Harry." I smiled back at him and closed the door behind me. Shit... Why am I such a pussy with this stuff?
                          
I sighed and walked to the guest room. I changed in my comfortable pajamas and covered myself in. Just those three simple words made this day a lot better than expected. I closed my eyes and fell asleep with those three words in mind.
                          
"Honey? I'm very sorry... There was a fire at Jeroen's garage and he..." "Is he okay!?" "I don't know sweetheart. Two firemen took him out, he's in the hospital right now." "Shit! Jeroen!!" "Jeroen I'm so sorry...." Tears rolled down my face while I saw him lying in the hospital bed with bandage around his hand and face. "I'm so sorry..." I sobbed. "This is all your fault!" A dark voice said. I turned around but I saw no one, I was standing in a empty dark room. "Who's there!?" "Emily!!!" I heard Rick screaming. "Leave me alone!!" I covered my ears but it didn't help. "Emily!" I suddenly heard my mum crying. I looked around and saw her lying on the ground in a puddle of blood. "Mum!!!!!" I screamed but I couldn't move a muscle. A dark figure walked towards me with a knife in his hands. "Leave me alone!!" "I'll find you.... You can't hide Emily, not for me...."
                          
"Noooo!!!!" I was hitting my pillow towards the dark figure. "Emily, Emms!! Relax." It's just me." I suddenly saw Harry's messy curls and his worried eyes. He was holding me to keep me from hitting. "Harry?" I stumbled while the tears streamed down my face. "Shh, you had another nightmare again. It's okay, it's not real." He wrapped his arms around me. "Harry.... I'm so scared." I cried into his chest. "You're safe here Emms." "No I'm not." I sobbed again. "Yes you are, how many times do I have to tell you? I'm not gonna let him hurt you, never." He kissed the top of my head.
                          
"Alright c'mon." He suddenly wrapped his arm around my knees while the other held my back. "What are you doing?" "Carrying you to my bed." He smiled. "It's okay, I can..." Emms, I'm not gonna let you sleep alone after that." I buried my face in his chest while he carried me to his bed. He gently laid me down. He wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on my head. "Harry I.." "Shh go to sleep, you had a long day. It's better for you to rest now." He stroked my hair, which felt nice. He always knew how to comfort me.
                          
"Harry?" "Hmm?"
                          
"I love you too."
                          
I looked up to him and saw a big smile on his face. He kissed my forehead and I felt my eyes getting heavier. Before I knew it, I fell asleep in his arms.
