15.
I opened my eyes to find a pair of brown eyes staring down at me. I jumped up as I heard a laugh, "Mate, are you okay?"
A grin was immediately drawn on my face when I saw Liam chuckling, I jumped off the sofa and hugged him tight that I almost crushed him. "Liam!"
"Harry! What's wrong with you?!" I pulled away.
"It worked, it worked!" I jumped with a laugh.
I missed him and the boys so much, I missed my own crazy old self. I looked into the mirror that was behind Liam and yup, I was back.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"Boys, are you ready?" Zayn, Louis and Niall came to the room and of course, I ran and hugged them all. When I pulled away, they gave me a weird look then they shot Liam a confused look.
"Is he alright?" Louis asked.
"I am! Very!" Zayn chuckled.
"Okay, let's go then. We've got fans waiting for us outside."
We finished the concert and we were sitting in our tour bus. The tour was over, that was our last concert and I think it was the best. I was jumping up and down and running around, I did my best on stage. I missed the fans so much and they were amazing like always.
I missed the boys as well and being with them on stage, I was blessed and I never realized that until I lost it.
"It feels so good being back," I muttered to myself.
"What?" Niall gave me a confused look.
"Oh, nothing." I gave him a smile.
"Hey guys, did you see the shooting star?" Zayn asked. My head turned to face him.
"What? There was a shooting star?" He nodded.
It all made sense, that was why my wish came true. That reminded me of...
Mandy.
I wasn't going to break my promise, I was going to make everything work. I was going to try and make her forgive me. Of course, she forgot the time we spent, because it was just a wish I was living. It was like a dream or a life in another world. My own world.
But I was going to do my best to make her mine in our world.

"Harry, welcome back!" I smiled at mum as I kissed her cheek, then I hugged her tight.
"I missed you," I said pulling back.
"I missed you too, love." I saw Robin and I hugged him.
"Where's Gemma?"
"She's in New York, and she missed you."
"Oh, I miss her too."
"Okay love, let's eat then you could rest for a bit." And that was what I did. After I ate, I went to my room and jumped on my bed. I couldn't sleep, though.
My mind was thinking of her. What was she going to do when she sees me?
Is she going to cry? Slap me? Or kill me, maybe?
I chuckled, thinking of how beautiful and kind she was. I couldn't wait for tomorrow to come, although I knew I was going be scared to go to her house.
The morning came so fast and I was more nervous than last night. I took a walk to her house and it looked the same, nothing had changed. I knocked on the door as I took a deep breath.
I let out a small gasp, I thought her mother was going to open like she always did, but it was her. She looked taken back, but she gave me a warm smile. After we stood in silence not moving, just staring into each others eyes, she giggled.
"Hi."
"Hi, Mandy ." She smiled wider.
She opened her arms and pulled me in a hug. She wrapped her arms around my neck as I wrapped my arms around her waist and hugged her tight. "Welcome back, Haz."
I felt like I could cry at any moment, but I stopped myself. I never cried that easily, I was a grown up man, but I was a lonely boy when I was with her and I needed her to be strong.
I pulled away and kissed her cheek. "Come in," She added.
I got inside and it was the same lovely smell, she was home alone and we walked upstairs to her room. It changed, new color and decor but looked amazing like her.
She had changed too, of course, she looked more beautiful and mature. A beautiful woman that took my breath away. Her hair got longer, she didn't wear a lot of makeup like her teen days and I was glad. She was so much beautiful without them.
"You look dashing and grown up. Love the new hairstyle, too!" She said with a grin on her face. I let out a small laugh and thanked her.
"You look so beautiful, and I love how you don't wear much makeup anymore."
"Ah ha, you noticed." I nodded. "Thank you," She said sitting on her bed, I went to sit next to her and looked at the floor.
After another silence, I let out a breath and turned my head to look at her. She was already staring at me with a small smile.
"I want to explain-"
"You don't have to."
"No, I want to," I said. "I didn't contact you or even talk about you so no one could hurt you. I was afraid of the hate and media, they were going to ruin everything between us and still I'm sure of that."
"Then, why are you here? Why after all these years?"
She wasn't mad or angry which was unexpected, to be honest. But I guess she knew me and understood how some fans would react. It was one of the best things I loved about her, understanding and reading me easily because she knew me better than anyone else.
"Because... I can't explain now, but it doesn't matter. What matters is I'm here and I..." I paused and stood up. She raised her eyebrows.
"You are...?"
"I love you." She took a deep breath.
"Harry-"
"I've loved you as long as I could remember and If I could only go back and change everything," I sighed. "I really regret wasting all of these years without talking to you or bring here. I missed you so damn much."
"Harry, I loved you." There goes the drama, I thought. ''But now, I don't know how I feel. I'm excited, shocked, and happy to see you, but you can't expect me to fall in your arms and be your girlfriend." She stood up and explained.
"I know. I didn't expect you to hug me or even smile."
"If I'm being honest, every time I thought of you I wanted to kill you, choke you or even ruin your pretty handsome face." I chuckled. "But let's face it, I'll be killed by your fans, family and friends. And, I'll regret that too because I'm your friend, silly."
"And, I am proud of you. I always had faith in you and I knew you'll make it," She added.
"But, I want us to be more, Mo." She smiled wide when I said her nickname. "God, I hate the friend zone thing."
She laughed, "Let's just take it slow and see what will happen, If you'll stay."
"I will, I promise you this time I will." I took her hands in mine. "And, I'll protect you from anything and everything, even from myself."
She nodded. "I'm glad that you understand."
"I'm the one who is grateful to have someone like you, understanding and amazing."
"Harry, I know you. You're not bad or a heartbreaker. You do everything for a reason and I kinda knew the reason behind all of that drama."
I couldn't resist myself as I leaned in and kissed her soft lips, I counted it as the first time. I hoped she wasn't mad at me for doing this because she just said let's take it slow. But that thought was pushed away when I felt her kiss back.
"I like how slow this is going, Haz," She said giggling after she pulled away."Also, I'm glad you're back."
"I'm glad I'm back too, and I'm never leaving you."
"Promise?"
"Promise." I kissed her again, but I pulled back laughing.
"What?" She asked in confusion.
"So, you want to know why now?" I asked. "Why I came back after all these years?" She nodded.
"Yeah, I keep wondering actually."
"Okay, but don't think I lost my mind or anything." She nodded her head again. "It all started with a wish."
Ahhhh, I can't believe this is over, I'm going to cry! I hope you enjoyed this and I hope you liked the ending. It's not sad, I didn't want to write it sad because happy ending fits the story more. If you want a sad ending though, tell me.
