Harry's POV:

"Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more

I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
" I mumbled to myself as I paced back and forth nervously.

"You're going to get it right" Niall reassured me as he strummed his guitar recklessly "Don't worry"

"It has to be perfect" I pressed my lips tightly together and kept humming the words of the song.

"We'll, we're all ready now" Helena said, holding Nicholas her son, in her arms

We all nodded in acknowledgment and she smiled warmly "She'll be home in thirty minutes our less, hope everything goes as planned"

"Let's cross our fingers" Liam chuckled but my body trembled slightly.

"Don't worry, Harry" She said grinning "Everything looks perfect, she'll love it"

"Have fun" I said, a little too harsh for what I wanted it to sound like.

After flashing me another grin, Helena swirled around and disappeared trough the glass doors now covered by its black drapes.

"Relax Hazza" Liam said patting my back lightly

"What if she doesn't want to see me?" I said nibbling at my lower lip.

"She will" they all said in accordance, a slight bored tone in their voices since they had been repeating the same thing over and over again for the past hour.

We all stood there awkwardly in silence for what seemed like forever when suddenly, Zayn snapped at us.

"Shh" he said, putting his finger to his lips "Do you hear that?"

Muffled steps and a female voice came from inside. My heart was racing faster, and my limbs quivered uncontrollably.

After three weeks, she was just a few steps away from me and she didn't even realize it. I had a sudden urge to run inside and swirl her around in my arms, but I had put a lot of effort into the surprise and I didn't want to ruin it. Besides, I believed the trembling of my body wouldn't have let me.

"Go to your positions" Liam whispered as we heard footsteps going up the stairs. She was heading towards the bathroom.

"Start playing" I hissed at Niall as I ran towards my spot and started twirling the rose in my hands.

I heard a loud shriek and I assumed she was already in her room. In no time she would be here, and it was my time to sing.

I had never felt so nervous before, not even in a performance. My stomach was rumbling, and the feeling of wanting to puke wasn't going away. You can't ruin this, Harry I said to myself, You can't

Stump, stump, stump

I breathed in slowly and prepared myself. A soft screech came from the glass door being moved and I turned around quickly to find my girl standing there, flawlessly wearing the dress Danielle had so willingly helped us pick out. She was more pale than usual and her legs were shaking a little. At least I'm not the only one nervous

The boys looked up at her smiling, as we had agreed before, and she made her way over to the deck.

Liam, Zayn and Louis sung a couple of harmonies, and when Niall hit C, I knew it was my time to step in.

My voice filled the yard, and her green beautiful eyes turned to me, a slender pinch of happiness filling them. Her lips curled up to a smile as I made my way over to her, coming closer and closer.

The song was coming to an end, and only inches separated us. I wasn't sure of what I was supposed to do afterwards, and with that cluelessness, the words "Happy Birthday" escaped my lips.

Should I kiss her? Should I stay there standing?
There was no need in thinking. Before I could even decide, she threw her arm around my and I felt her soft lips crashing on mine. Those lips I had missed so much and that I was in desperate need of. Her hands played with my curls as I coiled my hands on her waist and pulled her closer, intensifying the kiss.

"Don't ever think I don't care about you" I whispered as I backed out a little to catch some air. "Don't ever think that. I said that out of pure anger, I never meant that, I can't believe you left" I felt hot tears streaming recklessly down my face

She sniffed and giggled "I missed you too" Suddenly her arms wrapped around me tightly and I felt safe, happy, unlike everything I had felt these past weeks.

"You can come back now" I said hopeful "Everything can come back to normal now, please I need you" I closed my eyes tightly, hoping she would agree and we'd live happily ever after

"Harry…" She whispered

"Please"

"I can't leave this, not now…I already started University"

She kissed my neck and I nodded, closing my eyes tightly trying to stop the tears. Everything was crashing down around me "We can work it out…We can do it, we'll have a long distance relationship, we'll do it" My sobs grew stronger as I tried to convince myself that what I just had said was true.

"We'll see what happens"

Emma's POV:

He quickly wiped away the tears with his sleeve "Shall we go inside then?" He smiled down on me and gave me a quick peck on the lips

I frowned and turned to face the boys, who were now picking their stuff up and making their way over to us

"Don't mind about us, we're going to a bar" Louis smiled "It's nice seeing you"

I turned to Harry and he nodded. Parting myself from him I ran towards them and hugged each tightly, whispering thank you in their ears.

"We missed you" Niall flashed his braces and hugging me once more.

"I missed all of you too" I smiled into his chest

"We have to get going, see you later" Zayn tugged Niall's arm and dragged him inside

Liam walked over to me and grinned "Have fun" he raised his eyebrows and followed the others inside along with Louis.

"It's supper time" he rubbed his hands together and smiled weakly.

Harry placed his hand on my lower back and leaded me back inside, where the table I had seen before waited for us.

"Sit down, my lady" He flashed me a cocky smile and dragged the chair slightly behind to let me seat

"Why thank you" I giggled as he made his way to the kitchen

"Need any help?" I shouted

"Everything's fine" he yelled back before reappearing trough the door again with two large bowls filled with pasta and salsa "I made it specially for you" he kissed me softly before placing the bowl in front of me

I grinned widely as he sat down and we stared at each other.

I couldn't believe he was here.
