Memories Brought Back, Prologue

Four Years Earlier

It was a summer afternoon with the sun shining bright and heat waves swarming in uncontrollably. While sitting on a beach chair under an umbrella with my family, I kept fanning myself with a clean paper plate. I looked around seeing mostly everyone do the same but with different objects like a fan, their hand, a magazine, and others. Soon, I began to feel my phone buzz in my back pocket making my arms get covered in goose bumps. I took my blackberry curve out of my back pocket seeing a text message.

-Meet me upstairs in my bedroom for a proper goodbye Lex xo

I slid my phone back into my back pocket, getting up from my parents and my table. I gave them a tiny smile as my parents continued their conversation about my future since Harry is going off to his. The X-Factor. He and his band One Direction got through all the elimination processes and made it to the show off. I was so proud of him, but now I won't get to see him anymore. Harry and I are four years apart, him 18 and me 14.

Once I got inside of Harry's house again, I made my way up the stairs heading towards his bedroom. We knew each other through our parents being best friends since kindergarten, which is a pretty long time. I guess best friends runs through our families. I consider Harry's parents my aunt and uncle since my parents made them my godparents. My parents are also Harry's godparents as well making us almost cousins, but not blood related.

I placed a small knock on Harry's door opening it slowly, seeing him staring out his bedroom window which showed his backyard where everyone was. He turned around seeing me, walking over and wrapping his arms around me. I followed his motions and wrapped my arms below his arm pits snuggling my head into his chest.

"I'm going to miss this and you Lex." Harry said picking me up bridal style which made me giggle slightly.

"I'm going to miss you too Harry." I said as he laid me down gently on his bed, then hovering above me.

"Don't forget me, you promise?" He asked tangling our legs together.

"I promise Harry. I could never forget you…" I said staring into his green orbs.

Soon Harry slowly placed his lips on top of mine, moving them in a magical sync. I wrapped my arms around his neck, while tangling my fingers in his brown curly hair. We have been this close since my first time….with him. I told him that I don't want my first time to be something that I'd regret for the rest of my life. He told me, if it was with him he would make it something I would never regret. So one day five months ago, our parents went on a little vacation for the weekend, leaving Harry to watch me since they think I'm too young to stay home alone. The first night our parents were gone was my first time. Harry did stick to his word, and he made it memorable for me.

"Harry where are you? You have to go now!" Anne, Harry's mother yelled up the stairs.

"Be down in a minute mum." Harry said slowly getting off of me.

I slowly slid myself into an upright position looking up at Harry, having some tears slide down my cheeks. Harry walked over to me wrapping his arms around me once again. I soon began to cry into his chest softly as he stroked my hair, and kissed the top of my head.

"Don't cry Lex. I will come back." Harry said trying to comfort me.

"You promise?"

"I promise Lex. Come on, let's head down stairs." He recommended taking my hand.

We walked down the stairs together hand in hand, but let go once we saw our parents in the kitchen. You see, me and Harry never told our parents, and never planned on telling them. I knew my dad would flip out over the age difference which isn't that big. But still, I'm daddy's little princess and he has never let any man come into my life except for family and Harry.

"We're going to miss you Harry." Anne said hugging her son.

"We all will. Right Lexi?" My mother asked walking over to me.

"Of course." I stated giving a tiny smile to Harry.

"I should get going. Want to walk out with me Lex?" Harry asked.

I nodded my head yes as Harry said his final goodbyes to his parents. When we walked outside, there was a black SUV waiting for him patiently. Once we reached the car, Harry wrapped his arms around me again as he kissed me one last time and making sure our parents weren't looking.

"Don't say goodbye Lex, this is just the beginning for both of us." Harry stated.

"I will see you soon then Harry." I said.

"I love you Lex."

"I love you too Harry."

And then he left my life….for four years.
