10. Leave Out All The Rest

"Simon! I can't just leave her! The surgery's tomorrow, and I promised I would be there for her. Can't you just postpone the tour for a few days?" I heard Harry speak. I had just woken up, and he didn't see I was awake yet. "Please, Simon.''

I rubbed my eyes and rolled over. Harry was sitting on the edge of the bed, facing the closet. "Harry?" I mumbled sleepily.

"Okay, okay. Whatever." Harry threw his phone at the ground, making me jump. I placed a hand on his shoulder, but he wouldn't even look at me.

"Baby, what's wrong?" I asked, scooting over closer to him. I wrapped my small arms around his bare torso, resting my head on his back. "I love you, Haz."

"I have to leave today." Harry still wouldn't look at me. He just put his head in his hands, and I felt his shoulders start to shake. I sat there in shock. He's going to be gone tomorrow. I'm going to be all alone. Eleanor's wasn't going to be here for another week, and Harry was leaving today.

Suddenly, I felt strong arms wrap around me. Harry was sobbing into my shoulder. I hugged him back. "Darling, I'll be okay. This is your job. You can't let your fans down."

"Piper, you're my girlfriend. I love you and I can't just leave you alone." He pulled away, grabbing a pillow and tossing it across the room. "I'm not going."

"What?" I scooted away slightly, since he looked quite mad. I was always paranoid when people were mad, because when Kendall got mad he used to beat me.

"I'm not going." Harry said, softer than before. "I know you need someone to get through this. You try to stay strong, but baby, it's okay to need someone to lean on. I'm not leaving you alone right now."

"Okay." I said simply, staring at the ground. "Can we just spend today together? Doing fun stuff? This may be my last day, and I want to spend it happily with you."

"Of course. What do you want to do first?" Harry asked me, putting a hand out for me. I grabbed his hand, and used it to pull myself out of the bed.

"Let's go ice skating. It's winter, and I've never been to the ice rink." I smiled, looking up at him. Yes, it was terrifying that tomorrow, I could die. It was terrifying that even if I didn't , Harry would leave me for a long time. It was terrifying to be alone. But I knew that if I had Harry for just one more day, I would be okay.

"That sounds fun." Harry walked to the closet, grabbing something for him to wear. He pulled out to hoodies. One looked like it would fit him, while the other said Jack Wills and looked like something he had owned years ago.

"Why did you get that out?" I asked, giggling and pointing to the smaller sweater. He smirked and rolled his eyes.

"For you, silly. I've had it in my closet, and I always wanted to give it to someone I truly cared about." Harry told me. "And I truly care about you."

"God, Harry, way to make me blush." I smiled sheepishly, looking at him. I grabbed a random outfit and put it on. I had began to keep some of my clothes in Harry's room, since I normally slept in there. I threw the outfit on, before sliding the purply hoodie on as well. I blushed when I noticed Harry smiling at me. "What are you smiling at, Mr. Styles?"

"You, Mrs. Styles." He smirked cheekily before grabbing something else out of the closet. It was an adorable little beanie which he put on my head. It fit perfectly. "This was mine too."

"It's adorable." I giggled, reaching my hand up to feel the soft fabric. "Thank you, Harry. These are sweet."

"Anything for you." Harry said, handing me my boots. I slid them on and we headed out to the car. On the way to the skate rink, Harry stopped and bought us both hot chocolates. We finally arrived at the ice rink, and Harry's cup was still full. Mine was halfway gone already. We got out, taking our hot chocolates with us. Harry went to rent our skates, and I followed behind him while I sipped my drink. He handed me mine, which were quite small compared to his. We put them on and headed out to the rink. I almost slipped, but Harry held me up.
