A Broken Harmony (One Direction Fan-Fiction)

CHAPTER 9: Taking Up The Offer Of A Lifetime

*The Next Day*

Lydia’s POV

When I woke up, I was still wrapped in Harry’s arms, except we were in a different position. His arm was wrapped around my back with his hand on my hip. My hand was on top of his chest with his hand on top of my hand. My head was nuzzled up on his shoulder and chest. His head was on top of my head. His curls tickled my face. I could tell he was still sleeping because of his slow, soft breathing. I loosened from his grip. As I sat up he moaned. I froze and turned my head to look at him. He was still asleep, I think. I started moving to get off the bed again, but slowly this time. I was almost off when a large hand grasped my wrist. I looked back to see Harry’s eyes slowly open.

“No.” he said in his low, raspy morning voice. “Please stay.” I just stared at him. His nose was bruised and his lip was still swollen. I eventually gave in and laid back down. He cuddled me again like when I woke up. My hand laid on his bare chest. He played with my long wavy hair. I traced his 2 bird tattoos with my pointer finger. Then I ran my finger along his hard, defined abs. we didn’t say anything to each other. We just sat in silence. My eyes began to feel heavy. My eyelids started drooping.

I must’ve fallen asleep because when I woke up, I was lying in bed alone. Harry was nowhere to be found. I sat up quickly. I looked around the room. Still no sign of Harry. I grabbed Harry’s phone on the side table to see what time it was since my phone was in my purse, which was on the other side of the room. I pressed the lock button and his screen lit up. The light hurt my eyes so I looked away for a couple seconds. When my eyes got used to the light, I looked back. 12:38 pm. I locked his phone and set it on the table to its original spot. Then I lifted the comforter on top of me and got out of bed. I went to Harry’s bathroom and washed my face in the sink. There was no need to brush my hair since I had naturally mess waves and curls. I walked out of Harry room into the hallway. I could hear gunshots and boys screaming, which wasn’t something new. I continued down the hall and walked into the living room. Liam, Louis, and Zayn were playing video games.

“Hey Lydia!” they all screamed as they turned around and waved. I smiled as I waved back. I walked over behind the couch, where they were sitting. I watched them for about 10 seconds before 2 arms wrapped around my waist and spun me around. I was finally set down to find Niall smiling at me.

“Good morning Lid!” he said smiling. I smiled back. I don’t think Harry told about what happened last night. He knew Niall would explode in anger if he found out what Carter did. For some reason, Niall felt he needed to protect me 24/7.

“Hi Ni.” I said.

“O my gosh!” Niall gasped. “I totally forgot!” he said before running down the hallway towards his room. He came running back with a black box. He handed it to me. “Open it!” he said.

I opened it and inside was a black and white OBEY snapback. (picture on the side)

I gasped. “OH MY GOSH NIALL! Thank you so much!!” I shouted as I hugged him tightly. He laughed.

“I remembered that you were talking about how you couldn’t find this one in any stores around here, and when we were in Canada, I saw it and thought of you!” he said.

“You remembered me saying that??” I asked surprised. He smiled as he nodded. I hugged him again.

“Put it on!” he said. I put it over my curls and walked over to the mirror in the living room to see it. I turned around to Liam, Zayn, and Louis.

“How does it look guys?” I asked. Liam and Louis gave me thumbs up while smiling. Zayn gasped and ran to his room. He came back a minute later with the same snapback on his head.
