Chapter 43

Alycia's Pov.

Harry and I got back to LA three days ago. It's been a bit hectic since, just like I expected.

Jeff has really been keeping Harry busy with tour promo shots, even though his tour has been promoted for literal months. They've been taking shoots for visuals to use on tour and things like that. He also is going to be on Ellen next week. Unfortunately I can't be there. I have to go with Candice that night to some party. I told him I couldn't be there but I got interrupted before i could explain why so I should probably explain that to him soon.

Candice explained this party as a 'business' thing. The head of our label is going to be there and she said it's a great way to make connections with everyone he knows. I was also just invited. As was Harry but obviously he has Ellen that night.

Apparently it's downtown LA on a rooftop. So uhm, exciting I guess. Matt is coming as well though so we'll all go together. At least I have him. I suck at socializing on my own.

Harry had a fitting today for some of his tour outfits so I wasn't able to see him. I haven't seen him since we got back. He facetimes me every night though. It's just weird to live in the same city and it's still difficult to see eachother.

I know, it's only been three days. I need to relax. I can't see him tomorrow either though. He has his rehearsal which will last a while and I have a nighttime studio session with Matt and Chester.

Yes, I still have to mention that to Harry. We just made those plans last night though and I haven't had a full conversation with Harry today.

Right now i'm facetiming Ru while eating dinner and watching Friends with Jasper in bed.

Ever since we left New York, i've spoken to her everyday. I've really missed her.

"So how're you feeling about Harry starting tour?" She asked as she took a bite of her own dinner.

It's so much later over there but she's a night owl. Always has been.

"I'm just...I mean i'm fine. We just literally haven't talked about it. Besides him telling me like 'oh im at rehearsals' or 'oh i'm getting fitted for what outfits he's wearing on tour'. He hasn't spoken about like...what we're planning on doing. I think everything will be fine with us but it's like...he's avoiding talking about anything to do with it recently. Like, am I even supposed to visit?" I said with a laugh and she shook her head.

"Of course you are. You know you will. He's probably picking up on the fact that you're worried. Or maybe he's just noticed that you haven't brought it up either. It's a two way street Ly. Maybe he's nervous to really talk about. Talk to him." She explained.

She's always so rational and makes so much sense. It's frustrating because she's right.

"Yeah...I don't know. I'll try-" I started to say and my phone beeped with a message at the top of the screen.

I squinted to read it from the unknown number.

"so lovely to hear you ran into my brother''

You're kidding me. Not this shit again.

"What? Who texted? Looks like it's got you fucked up. Is it Harry?" She said with an excited look and I shook my head.
