2020 The house was entirely too empty for his liking. From a young age, Harry had been constantly surrounded by people: first, friends and family back at home, and then the rest of the members of One Direction, not to mention the hundreds of people on their touring team, and the millions of fans that had seemed to follow him and the boys around the globe in one indefatigable mass. Even after One Direction had disbanded, Harry had continued to surround himself with people, but now things had halted in a way he had never experienced before. The world was crippled by a global pandemic and Harry suddenly found himself very much alone in a house with too many empty rooms in a city thousands of miles away from his family.
He hadn't been in isolation for long, but the days were already starting to melt together and Harry could tell that he would lose his mind if he didn't find something or someone to keep himself occupied. He was already moving listlessly around his house, unable to focus on any worthwhile task - like writing more songs or even practicing old ones - and had taken to scrolling halfheartedly through his phone as though he could live vicariously through someone despite the fact that every human in the entire world was probably feeling how he was.
He had relocated to his kitchen to fix himself a cup of tea when his phone had first dinged.
MAGS: Am I the only one who feels like a background character in an apocalypse movie?
Harry snorted, leaning heavily against the counter as the kettle began to heat. As always, Maggie seemed to be able to read his mind no matter how many or how few miles were between them. They had been friends for years, practically since the beginning of his fame. He had met her completely by accident on the LA streets when he had literally run into her, spilling his coffee all over her jacket. He had apologized profusely, but - aside from the usual reaction to his slow, thick accent - Maggie hadn't seemed to realize who exactly she was talking to. She had accepted his offer of help, and they had gotten to know each other a little bit while he helped mop up the mess he had made.
Years later Maggie had told him that she assumed that would be it - she had been accidentally attacked and then helped by a stranger and then she would never see him again. However, when a new jacket had arrived at her place of employment - at that time a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the heart of L.A. - along with another note of apology, and VIP tickets to the next One Direction show, Maggie said she realized she hadn't just met a klutz on the street, but the Harry Styles. To his utter bemusement, Maggie hadn't been a One Direction fan. She only really knew their big songs because they were, and he quoted to her several times a year since, " utterly overplayed. " However, he saw her in the crowd that night in the VIP seats he had reserved specifically for her and hadn't wasted any time embarrassing her in front of the thousands of fans and four other boys beside him. When security had brought her backstage after the concert at his behest, it was clear that a fast friendship was already set in motion. At least that's what Harry told himself even as he felt the flip of his stomach whenever her smile was turned in his direction.
