Unexpected Happenings [UNEXPECTED SERIES #1]

Chapter 10

*Harry's POV*

"Tell them to come in" I say into the phone and hang up. Just then Louis and Eleanor walk in along with Zayn and Perrie.

"What's up? Are you guys really jobless or you guys just don't have anything better to do?" I tease them.

"Harry, it's the 31st tomorrow. Did you forget or are you too busy to even remember?" Louis states. Tomorrow's the 31st? How did I not realise that?

"I know.." I lie but he gives me a look which means he caught me.

"Do you? Nevermind now. We're having a party at a club!" He cheers. Obviously!

"You guys have fun. I'll-"

"What, stay in?" Zayn finishes my sentence. "Not happening man. It's freaking New Years and you want to stay in?" He questions back and I sigh. It's honestly not that big of a deal to me.

"C'mon Haz! It's just a party. Plus you can bring Kiara along of course" Perrie adds.

"I'm not coming. You guys have fun" I say again and Louis groans childishly.

"Fine! Let's have it at my house then." He suggests sitting on the chair in front of me.

"Alright" I agreed after a few minutes of silence.

"Awesome!" Louis cheers and grabs Eleanor and leaves my office and Zayn and Perrie follow behind. I sigh when they leave and sit back down on my chair. I roll myself around slowly just thinking about how 2021 has just flown by too fast to even comprehend. For me it has just been the same though. The only interesting thing that happened was meeting Kiara. Kiara. I haven't spoken or texted her the whole day.

I almost pull out my phone to call her but when it says 'calling' and changes to 'ringing' I stop myself immediately. What the hell is wrong with me? I just called her and what would I even say if she did pick up?

When I leave the office and walk towards my car I remove my coat and take my tie off and toss it to the back and reverse the car and pull onto the driveway on the way to Louis' house. I was thinking about maybe telling Kiara and maybe going with her but with everything I have heard and just the last few days...I just feel like maybe she needs time? No, that's not it! It's me! It's me because I don't want to make her feel any of those things she said that day but I don't know how to change her mind about all those things. I honestly don't even know if she still thinks of herself that way. I hate that she did though. I hate that she has gone through so much and didn't have anybody by her side or to even talk to.

"Harry!" I walk through the crowd where everyone is seated and find myself a chair in the corner.

"Where's Kiara?" They all ask and I sigh.

"She alone mate?" Zayn asks and I sigh again.

"Yeah.." I reluctantly answer.

"Harry, I don't want to upset you or..I don't know..put you down but you should've brought her mate. It's almost new year's and she's alone doing who knows what.." Louis makes me realise and I just get up from the chair exiting the place to go get her. Why hadn't I thought of that earlier?

Before going home I take the route to the closest mall and walk in quite fast and go to a clothes store. I admit I kind of do feel a little uncomfortable being in the women's section of clothes but I also do want to get her something nice. Ten minutes and I pick up a simple long sleeved shiny dress that will probably reach her knees but it comes with a slit starting from her thigh. I pay for it and almost leave the mall but then remember to get her a pair of heels on the way out.
