They Don't Know About Us

Feels Like Snow In September - Chapter 96

*PAIGE'S POV*

I just can't believe it, Chloe's actually gone. It somehow feels different being here with the boys without her, almost wrong. Chloe's departure seemed to have hit Harry and Louis the most, Harry lost his love and Louis well, he lost one of his best friends. We all have. We are all settled in the group house, also known as, Simons place in LA. "So boys." He starts slowly, as they all try to concentrate as much as possible on what he has to say, he is their creator after all so his opinion matters to them. I, Shelby and Ellie are sat at the back of the room, on a leather white sofa with glasses of water in our hands. Nialls mum and dad decided to take Demi for a day out whilst we stayed with the lads. "How's the fourth album coming along?" Simon asks, directing it to all of them at once. "Errr, well Simon, we've started preparation for it but we haven't really been able to concentrate on it recently." Liam states, as he glances towards us and then at Harry. The last time I saw Simon was at Justin's funeral, it was also the first time i met him, he was so kind which, if I'm honest, kind of shocked me, he always came across as the judgemental type. Suddenly, Harry rises from his seat and walks out of the door and Niall follows him. "Have I missed something?" Simon asks curiously. "Quite a lot actually Si..." Louis replies, slouching back into his chair. As Liam and Zayn fill Simon in on what's happened over the last couple of weeks, I zone out myself. "Chloe should be here..." I mumble to Shelby and Ellie. They both hug either side of me "Awww Paige we know, her and Harry were just perfect for each other. They balanced one another out perfectly and it just broke my heart that they were no longer gong steady." It's only been a couple of days and already i need to speak to her, make sure she's okay and stuff. "I'll be back in a minute." I say before jumping off the sofa, pulling my phone from my pocket and dialling Chloe's number. 

*NIALL'S POV*

As i follow Harry out of the room and turn the corner i see him, punching at the wall repeatedly with his fists until they're bloody and broken. "Harry! Stop! For fuck sake calm down!" I shout ripping him from the wall and examining his fists. I've never seen him like this. Nobody has. "What are you playing at?" I ask him seriously before calling to one of Simon's assistants to get me a first aid kit, i'm not really good at first aid but I'll try, its unlikely Harry will want to go to a hospital. "I can't deal anymore Niall, i can't deal with the fact that i let her slip through my fingers and for what? Because Louis had a thing for her a couple of weeks ago! I just..." Quickly, i slap Harry across the face. "Pull yourself together mate! You can't change the past and yes i'm sorry to tell you this but Chloe is gone and if you can't deal with her here and can't deal without her here then you're going to have to figure something out okay!" I state. All Harry does is nod his head gently. "Okay, let's get back in there and start working on this next album, agreed?" "Agreed." Harry replies with a slight smile before following me back into the room.

1 YEAR LATER

*PAIGE'S POV*

"C'mon Clo you've got to come." I tell Chloe as we're sitting in Costa Coffee, in London, sipping on a cup of tea. It's been a year since she's seen any of the boys, i've seen her every week since she left, i couldn't not. She needed to see Demi and I needed to make sure she was doing okay. "No i don't Paige, they probably hate me by now." She replies, attempting to make excuses. "That's bullshit and you know it! It's their first live performance of FOUR tonight Clo, at Wembley stadium! You need to be there, it's a fact. We've all got exclusive VIP standing tickets also so you have to be there. Don't want to waste a good concert ticket after all."

"What about....Harry..." Chloe murmurs anxiously. I smile "He hasn't seen anyone since you Clo, if that's what you were asking and plus, its Demi's birthday in a week so you'll have to see him then! And! Shelby and Liams son, you've gotta see him he's absolutely gorgeous! Then there's Louis and Ellie who are dying to see you too, i'm the only one you've wanted to see since everything went pear shaped last year." Me saying this causes her to slouch back in her chair and take a deep breath. "I do need to see everyone again, i miss them. And i can't miss little Demitria's birthday. I've also been dying to see Ethan...what is it again? Ethan James Payne." I start jumping in my chair and clapping my hands like an over excited child. "Yay, it's settled! Let's go!" I shout before we leave the coffee shop and walk towards the outstandingly posh back entrance of the stadium, keeping in mind what awaits us on the other side of those doors, what awaits her.
