It had been two months of consistent dates every other night, and every night Harry fell for the broken girl in front of him, even more.

But what troubled him is why would she still pine for someone who didn't care about her anymore? He never knew why would anyone in their right mind let go of someone amazing as her.

But, as Harry discovered himself, he was actually really happy that Mason had left Alex. If he hadn't, then he would never get a chance at taking such a beautiful girl on a date.

But how do I tell her I like her, a lot?

"Harry, for merlin's sake, if you won't tell her your feelings, then I will!" Hermione screeched when she saw the teen pacing around his apartment by the time she arrived.

"Yeah, but she's probably hung over that sick bastard," Harry hissed, remembering the light die out of Alex's eyes whenever the slightest thing related to Mason was mentioned.

Hermione shook her head, "That's because she gave her heart to the wrong person. Make her realize that you're better for her than he ever will be."

Harry snorted, not wanting to believe in the truth of his friend's words.

"I swear, if you do tell her that I like her-"

"You'll what? Tell Ron I love him? We're dating you know," Hermione smirked, crossing her arms.

Harry huffed, but grabbed his jacket at slammed his door after he left, leaving his best friend inside.

"Remember to make it romantic!" Came Hermione's teasing voice from the inside.

"And I thought true love was supposed to develop over years, not months," Harry grumbled.

"Is Alex here?" Harry asked Justin once he got into the sub shop.

"Yeah, she's in her room. Want me to call her?" Justin asked.

Harry shook his head, "I thought I could go up to her room, that is, if she's not too busy right now?"

"No she's probably taking a nap but not in a deep sleep," Justin shrugged, "Just don't shake her shoulder. She will punch you in your stomach."

"You speak from personal experience," Harry noted.

"Many," Justin rolled his eyes as he prepared a sandwich.

Harry laughed and padded up the stairs to the living room. He jogged up the stairs again to Alex's room and indeed she was in there, but not taking a nap, but reading.

"Alex?" Harry called out.

"Harry? What are you doing here?" Alex asked.

"I-I have to tell you something," Harry nervously said.

Alex nodded, and got up. She shut the door and sat back down on her bed, patting the space next to her. Harry sat on the bed next to the brunette and looked her in the eyes intently.

"I love you."

Alex's eyes widened.

"W-What? But Harry, we only knew each other for-"

"Two months, I know. Even I wondered if it was possible to fall in love so quickly. I thought it wasn't possible, because my last serious relationship was with a girl who I knew for five years before I asked her out, only to find out it didn't work out in the end," Harry said.

"So then how do you know a relationship with a person you know for two months will work out either?" Alex asked.

Harry leaned forward and took her hands in his. He placed his forehead against hers and gave her a quick kiss to silence her.

"Because I know I love you, and that's all that matters," Harry whispered, nudging her nose with his.

They stayed like that for a couple seconds before Harry broke the silence.

"Be my girlfriend," Harry pleaded more than stated.

The brunette simply nodded and angled her face so that she could steal another kiss.

"Harry? Should I go?" Alex asked, showing her boyfriend of two months the wedding invitation. Mason was going to be married next month.

"As much as I hate and loathe him despite not meeting him," Harry sighed, "I think it would be a good idea. Just talk to him, catch up with him and socialize with him one last time. Get that guilt off your chest. It had been eating you for four months and I want you to feel free too, Alex."

"B-But, what if…" Alex started but didn't find an excuse to finish it.

"Alex, I will be there with you. So will your brother and his girlfriend. We all have your back and we will make sure he doesn't try anything on you," Harry promised.

Alex nodded and hugged her boyfriend, resting her head on his chest.

"You may not be my first love, but I know you will be my last one," Alex whispered.

And at these words, Harry hugged his girlfriend closer to him.

"And you are my last love as well," Harry replied, kissing the top of Alex's head.

Alex had her dress picked out, some jewelry and the shoes to go with it. Juliet planned both of their makeup looks, hairstyles, and even the nail art on their finger nails.

"Why do you want me to be so dressed up for this event?" Alex sighed.

"Because, even though he is going to be a married man soon, you might as well make him feel guilty for breaking your heart," Juliet said with the 'duh' tone.

Alex shrugged as Juliet toyed with her hair, "I dunno. I somehow don't feel jealous anymore."

"Yeah, you might feel that way, but he's also my ex too," Juliet sighed, "I want him to understand that other people can have happiness too. Make him realize that he's not the center of attention all the time."

Alex smiled at her vampire of a best friend and said, "It is times like this that I am happy that you are dating my brother."

Juliet smiled at Alex and said, "Let's get your makeup ready now. I think your hair looks beautiful."

-x-

Alex walked down in her lilac sleeveless dress with her hair up in a braided bun and shimmery makeup on. Since she was never a girly person, she had on two inch heels.

Harry smiled and extended his arm, which Alex gladly took. He pulled her close and whispered in her ear, "Are you ready?"

Alex forced a shaky smile in reply, causing Harry to become concerned. He felt bad; maybe he shouldn't have pushed her to see an ex that she's not on good terms with. Things are different with him and Ginny.

"We don't have to go if you don't want to, love," Harry immediately said.

Alex shook her head and replied, "I have to do this. To put him behind me once and for all. Maybe I may have let him go, but I am tired spending sleepless nights with thoughts plagued about him."

Harry nodded but hugged his girlfriend close.

"You know I won't let anything happen to you, right?" Harry said.

Alex sighed, "I know you won't."

"You'll be just fine, Alex!" Juliet smiled, "We will make sure he doesn't try anything on you."

"And you'll need to make sure Isabella doesn't try anything on me," Justin pouted.

"That too, my dear. But don't worry. I come off easy going but I am pretty possessive when needed," Juliet smirked, making the four laugh.

Harry looked at Alex and opened the door for her.

"Guys, mom and dad took the car, so we're going to teleport to a forest not too far from the wedding place," Justin said, once the four walked outside.

The four linked hands and Justin mentally envisioned the forest and they were teleported.

I hope nothing goes wrong… thought Alex.

TBC.
