Way Of Life - H.S & N.H

Home

Heather and Niall didn't say much to Shay when they arrived. They just pulled her close and held her. Which is what Heather was currently doing.

Niall lay on the floor with Angus and Haley playing with them and using baby talk. Something that neither Shay nor Heather could ever get used to.

"Your baby talk is actually helping Ni. Giving me something to laugh at." Shay sniffed, sending the brunette a small smile.

"Well glad to be of service." He saluted but ended up smacking his hand off of one of the plastic toys that hung from the play mat.

Both Heather and Shay laughed at that and even Haley started giggling.

Niall and Heather stopped as soon as she did.

"Wait when did she start laughing?!" Heather was shocked but smiling down at the little girl.

"Clever girl Haley!" Niall cooed.

"A couple days ago I noticed her doing it. I was being silly dancing around trying to make her laugh. She's been so sad without H. It was incredible to see her happy again." Shay murmured before she started to cry again.

Niall looked up at Heather, giving her a concerned look.

"Shay... you should go. Go to him. You're not working right now so there's nothing stopping you right?" Heather rubbed her hand soothingly over her shoulder.

Shay looked up at Heather, the cogs turning in her brain.

"I want to. God I really do, but I feel like we'd be in the way. It sounds stupid I know but I don't know I just want him to do what he loves without us interfering."

"Shay... this is silly. You're both miserable and you both know how to fix it. So why don't you do it?! Honestly you're as bad as each other." Niall got up from where he lay and went over to his bag. He pulled out an envelope and handed it to her.

"What's this?"

"Just open it."

Shay slowly peeled it open to find a note and printed plane tickets. She shot a look over at Niall and then Heather. They gestured for her to read the note.

Shay,

You and Harry are honestly the worst. I mean that in the best way though. He's been a mess. Yes, the shows have gone well and the crowds have been loving it. However, once it's all over he goes back to his room and sulks. Even at soundcheck he struggles to put on a brave face.

Come on tour. I've sorted everything so you don't have to worry about any of it. Just get yourselves over here and make a sad rockstar happy again? We all want you here. You and Haley. Haley would love it.

The plane tickets are open and unlimited, so you can come and go as you please. We just want what's best for you both.

P.S. We haven't told Harry. But just think of his face when he gets to see you both.

Silence fell between them as Shay tried to grasp the words Jeff had written. Haley and Angus had also stopped. It's like they could sense the tension in the room.
