Harrys POV
Another shot soars down my throat, I've lost count how many I've had now. I look to Stephanie who quivers at the taste and I smile. I look to Jed, Sam and Ed. They are with three girls who seem pretty keen, I laugh as Jed does a stupid dance with them, the girls are laughing.

I look back to Stephanie and she confirms every doubt in my mind that I've had. She is what I need and I want her in my life for as long as I can keep her. She makes me be me and without her, I'm not sure I like the person I am.

"Come with me.." I take her hand and pull her towards the exit, I look back at her as she looks at me with a puzzled look. I turn back around and we step out into the cold air, "Come on Steph!" I shout and I pull her along with me as I start to run.

"Harry! What are we doing?!" Stephanie laughs as she runs with me, her hair blows out of her face and messily flies around everywhere. I tighten my grip and I look back around. I remember this area from driving, I know exactly how far away we are.

"Keep up!" I laugh as we turn a corner and Stephanie desperately holds on to my hand. She can't stop smiling and neither can I.

"Harry I'm not fit enough to run far" Stephanie says as she starts to slow down. I match her pace and look at her.

"It's worth it Steph.." I smile as I start to pull her again.

"You're crazy, you know that right?" She laughs as she runs again. We turn one more corner and I smile as I look to Steph. "Oh my god!!" She screams happily, she let's go of my hand and she we both stop still, she looks ahead in awe. I smile as I put my arm around her.

"You said you wanted to see the London eye.." I say as I look ahead like she does.

"You're so perfect." Stephanie says and I look at her and smile. "I mean it Harry.." She adds and I kiss the top of her head.

"Come on.." I say as we make our way over, she looks up at the London eye in amazement. I pay the guy and we step in and the door closes. "So, you ready to see London?" I ask and Stephanie smiles.

"Of course." She reaches up and quickly kisses me. She turns around facing away from me, I wrap my arms around her waist and rest my chin on her shoulder. "At least this way I can see everything." She says as we slowly get higher. I let go of her and she turns to face me.

"There's something I need to ask you." I say as I look at her. Her face drops and she looks a little worried.

Stephanie's POV
I look at him, waiting for him to ask me whatever it is. He scratches the back of his head as he shuffles nervously. Oh my god, is he going to propose? No he wouldn't we've not been together long enough, that would just be silly, wouldn't it?

"Okay, I've spoke to your parents and I've had their opinion on this." He stops as he looks away and smiles. Oh god, it is a proposal. Harry is going to ask me to marry him!

"Spoke to them about what?" I ask impatiently, why is he dragging it out like this! Come on Harry!

"I want us to be together, like properly together," I smile at his words. "And I know how much we both like the idea of London. So I've extended our stay here for a week, your Dad has helped me financially but I'm going to give everything back." My heart sinks, is that what he wanted to ask me, I mean I didn't want to be engaged so soon, but I actually thought that's what he was building up to.

"That's brilliant.." I say as I don't want to sound disappointed, because I'm not. I'd happily spend a week here in London, so far I like the look of it here. "Thank you." I add with a smile.

"That's not all.." Harry says and I look at him a little confused, what next? "I want a fresh start, I feel completely different here." He says. How does he feel that strongly for London, we've only been here a day.
"I feel different inside, I can't explain it but I think it helps that no one here besides Jed knows me. I feel more free. So I've spoke to your Dad and he's organising a meeting with someone he knows that works in a music studio. They need a songwriter and I feel I could maybe do that." Harry stops and my eyes widen. I have to check with him that I'm hearing him correctly,

"You want to work for this guy? As in London? Or back at home?" I ask but I think I know the answer anyway.

"Here, in London. Your Dad has spoke to me a couple of times about this guy called Mark. It's part of the whole helping me thing. It's supposed to give me a clear mind and start me off in the right direction. I never thought about it before as I never cared, but now I do. I can see myself doing this Stephanie. But I want to do it with you. If I move to London, will you live with me?" He asks and my jaw drops. So many different things are flying around in my head, what am I supposed to do, what do I say? How can he ask me this?

"Harry.. I just don't know what to say.." I'm completely shocked and suddenly speechless. This isn't just moving out together, this is moving out together in a completely different city.

"We love each other, we're strong we have proved that. So why not just take a step and move that little bit further in our lives?" He asks and I look away. So I was disappointed with him not proposing, even though deep down I know that's a good thing. But I'm completely dumbfounded by this suggestion of his.

"I don't know if I can move here Harry, it's lovely to visit but I just don't know London well enough to make this sort of decision." I say and Harry looks away, he seems hurt by my words and I don't blame him.

"Well I need to do this, I'm sorry you don't feel the same Steph and I love you so much," He stops as tears form in his eyes. "But this is what I want and although I never want to lose you, I just can't continue in Manchester.." He says and I feel my heart starting to break.

"No, I can't lose you Harry, we've only just started out as a proper relationship. I love you too much." I say and my voice breaks as the lump appears. I blink away the tears that are starting to form.

"I don't want to lose you either, but I want to better my life, to be someone and make my family proud. Think of how my Mum will feel about this." He says and I shake my head. I can't let him go.

"No, I've lost you before I can't lose you again." I say and I know this is mad but I will do anything to be with him. "I'll move with you.." I say and Harry looks at me and shakes his head. "Harry, I will! I can do this, I don't mind I can try and find a job"

"No Steph! I'm not letting you do this just because you don't want to lose me. You'll be here and you'll be miserable. I can't have that, I want you to be happy Stephanie." He says as he looks away. I look at him and the tears just release as I watch the guy I love so much tell me we've got to go our own way.

"I can be with you.." I say softly as I cry. He turns to me and wipes his own tears. It's heartbreaking watching him cry, I look away.

"I love you Steph." Harry says and he looks at me. I nod as he pulls me into a hug and I cry into his chest, I let everything out as I just can't control myself.

"I love you too Harry!" I cry as I wrap my arms around him, I never want to let him go, I just can't face it. We stay like this for what feels a lifetime.

Harry's POV
I hold her knowing I won't be able to do this if I do manage to get a job with Mark. I'm gutted it's gone this way as this wasn't my plan at all. We were supposed to have a week here and do all the things she wanted and I was going to meet Mark. But now, it will be me on my own. I'll have to speak to Ryan as he knows this is a possibility, he wasn't sure if Stephanie would agree with me.

I thought she would feel the same, but she's clearly not in that mind set yet. I can't rush or force her to do anything. The last thing I want is her being here with me when she isn't happy and her heart isn't in it.

I don't want to let her go, am I being selfish? All I want is to better my life, to start fresh and make myself a better person that I know I can be now. I have to be strong, I have to let Stephanie go no matter how much it hurts.

I pull away from her and we look at each other, we're both crying and inside we break together. She's so beautiful, I just can't look at her for long, it's too hard and I know being without her is going to be my biggest challenge yet.

Notes

So we've come to an end :(
Harry has definitely come a long way since the beginning of the story. He once was the lad who always got caught up in trouble and never understood how to control his anger. He didn't know how talk about things, he believed talking never got him anywhere.
But Stephanie has been everything that he needs, she's taught him to love, to feel and to grow into a person that he knows he can be.
I hope you've seen these changes in Harry, and have enjoyed reading this story as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
I'd like to thank every single person who has took their time to read I'm Still The Harry You Knew. Thank you for voting, subscribing and commenting. It's helped me stay motivated when I've received feedback!

A massive thank you to @not_any_maryjane who has been so so so supportive through-out this story. I wasn't going to continue writing after the first few chapters as I thought I didn't have the potential as a writer to attract readers. But with her kinds words and motivation she gave me, I continued and here I am, the story is complete! Thank you for all the shout outs you did for me, I appreciated it every time!


So, I'm currently working on a SEQUEL and I really hope you continue to read the journey of Stephanie and Harry.

Oh, and feedback on this last Chapter would be amazing and highly appreciated! So please let me know what you think! :) :)

THANK YOU!
