The Way Things Change

Chapter 74

"Perrie, are you coming with me?"

"Yeah, yeah. Just give me a minute."

I had already been waiting for 10 minutes. Good thing they had arranged a private plane, otherwise we would have probably missed it. It didn't know what the hell she was doing.

"Come on! We don't have all day." I whined. I was getting tired of this. I wanted to go see Harry again. I had missed him and now I didn't want to wait any longer.

"I'm coming already!" She came out of the bus, dragging her bags behind her. "Now let's go."

"ZAYN!" Perrie dropped her bags and ran over to her fiancé. It was like in a movie, both of them running to each other, jumping in the other ones arms. You know that kind. I looked around to find someone else I knew. But I couldn't see anybody. Just a few body guards with Zayn, but no Harry. Where could he be? He was here right? He would be there to greet me. Right? It had almost been a month, so he would be thrilled to see me... right?

"Hey Kate." Zayn pulled me in for a hug, welcoming me back.

"Hey Zayn... Where is Harry?" I was disappointed that he wasn't here. Hurt. Upset. Why wouldn't he be here?

"He... He was sleeping." Zayn said hesitantly. He looked at me with pity. I knew he was lying. I had lived with him for a while and he was my best friend. Of course I could tell if he was lying.

"Is something wrong? I know you're lying."

"No nothing is wrong." He replied quickly. A bit too quick. "He just didn't want to deal with paparazzi and fans, that's all."

"That's bullshit Zayn. It's 4am. There is nobody around. Now tell me." He look nervous, not focusing on me. Perrie was just looking from Zayn to me and back again. Her face remained expressionless.

"Let's just go to the hotel. He will see you there." He picked up Perrie's bags and turned his back on me. Why wouldn't he tell me? What the hell was going on? Had I done something wrong? I didn't know I should laugh or cry. I was angry with Zayn for not telling me. Angry with Harry for not being here. Upset, hurt that he didn't want to see me. Damn him.

"Come on. I'm sure it's nothing. Let's just be happy that you will be reunited in 10 minutes." Perrie grabbed my hand, forcing me to follow her.

"PERRIE! KATE!" Louis shouted, running towards us. We were both tackled in a hug. He was so energetic, even though it was still really early. They had to go to an interview, at 6 in the morning. Niall and Liam walked towards us, both rubbing the sleep out of their eyes.

"Welcome back Kate. And it's good to see you again Perrie." Liam spoke for the both of them. I still hadn't seen Harry. Where was he? Was he done with me?
