Chelle and Brett finally join us again.  All of us run around like usual and take goofy pictures.  There's a little set up where you can pose in front of it.  I slowly started to panic as each minute went by.  It was going too fast.  

We ended up by the punch table.  I was glad and I slowly tried to calm down by taking sips.  This whole time I've kept myself together, I don't know whats happening now.  I can't start crying yet.  I have to hold it in.  Looking at Harry's laughing face made me feel a little better. The only reason he isn't noticing my random down mood is Lou is being so entertaining.  

The music stops for a second and a slower beat turns on.  "Daylight" by Maroon 5... Shit.  Slow dance.  I forgot about that.  I watch with jealousy as Louis picks El into the air and spins her.  Then they walk to the dancefloor... I really wish that was me.  Having a boyfriend and staying at Brookwood.  

"Miss Grace Ross.. will you dance with me?" Harry asks with a big smile.  

"Of course." I link my arm with his.  

"Here I am waiting, I’ll have to leave soon, why am I holdin’ on... We knew this day would come, we knew it all along.... How did it come so fast." 

Soon, Harry and I are mixed into the crowd.  I actually really liked this song.  But I liked Harry better, so I only focused on him.  Harry easily took my waist and I hesitated.  I've never slow danced before. I realized the thing to do was put your arms on the guys shoulders by looking at everyone around me.  I lightly placed my hands on Harry's shoulders and smiled.  He was already smiling back.  

We very slowly swayed to the beat.  It wasn't much dancing but still so romantic.  Harry watched me, with a soft smile.  It hit me that the lyrics relate to me.  I bit hardly on my lip and tears pricked.  

"Here I am staring, at your perfection in my arms... so beautiful..."

"Cuz in the daylight, we’ll be on our own... But, tonight I need to hold you so close.." 

 "Fucking depressing song.." Harry mumbled, realizing my reaction to it, "Come here." 

His hands on my waist pulled me against him.  I wrapped my arms around his neck and squeezed.  "But tonight I need to hold you so close.."  The song kept killing me more and more.  We held onto each other so tightly as if we had to leave that exact moment.  Slowly we started to relax.  I closed my eyes and let Harry take all control.  It suddenly became really peaceful in his arms.  

Is this what it feels like to be held by Harry...without worrying? To be loved by Harry?  To be the one girl on Harry's mind?  It feels so perfect.  I don't understand how this has to be ripped away from me.  

"Baby." Harry whispers against my ear and continues to sway.  

"I want you forever." He adds.  

I squeeze tighter.  He is so perfect... I'm lucky to be in his arms at all.
