Emma P.O.V.


Harry had been gone for a week. No calls, no texts, nothing. No one had any idea what was happening. He said a few days, though we all knew it was a lie, we still wanted to know. 

"Emma pass the pepper." Gemma said from across the table. I wrapped my fingers around the small counter of pepper and slide it over to her. She mumbled a thanks and sprinkled some on her eggs. 

Anne placed a plate of eggs in front of me and before I could say thank you, the phone rang causing us all to look up.

Anne walked to the phone and slowly picked it up. "Hello?" 

Moments went by, the room was dead silent. I tried my hardest to listen to Anne's conversation, but there were only small things I could make out, such as, "That's great, honey." or, "I'm very happy for you." So i assumed she was talking to Harry. Her voice didn't sound happy, but you could clearly tell she was putting in a lot of effort trying to be.

Soon she hung up. Taking a deep breath, she gently stepped back into the room. We all stared at her in curiosity, even though we all knew what she was going to say. We knew it from the minute Harry left a week ago.

"Harry isn't coming back.": I knew it. "They were signed by Simon. All of them."

No one was surprised. We all knew that One Direction was good enough to make it big. They had the talent, they had the charm and they had the fans. Thousands, maybe even more, teenage girls in the palm of they're hands.

Anne sat back at her seat at the table. I slowly rise and tell them I'm finished with my foods. Anne nods and dismisses me. I place my plate in the dish washer and run up the stars, I make my way to my room and berry myself in my sheets and pillows. Soon my white crisp sheets were covered with mascara. Grabbing the home phone off my nightstand and dialed a familar number.

It rang for many seconds. By the fifth ring I heard a voice.

"Hi! You've reached the voice mail of Harry, I'm really sorry I can't answer your call, but leave me a message and I will get back to you whenever I can. Bye!"

I small sign escapes my chapped lips.

Beep.

"Uhm...Hi Harry. It's me. Skylar! I just wanted to call and tell you that I heard the news! I told you that he was going to sign you. I'm always right. Well, I also just wanted to say I'm really happy for you and I'm going to miss you so much. Please call me when you can. Bye Harry."

He never did call me back.
