Tell Me a Lie

Our Song

Callie's POV

Harry and I look at each other and smile. Niall obviously fancies Morgan. Hopefully he fancies her more than he fancies me. Harry picks me up from the floor and we both walk into his room. This is the first time I've been in here and it's a disaster area. Harry's cell phone rings and he pulls it out of his pocket and flops on the bed.

"Hello?" He answers. He waits a few seconds. "Tomorrow? We can't leave tomorrow." He says. "Have you talked to Liam?" His face scrunches up like he's upset. I sit down next to him and rub his back. He relaxes a bit. "How long?" He asks and pauses. "I can't leave for that long!" He says. "We just finished a six month tour! We can't start a 2 year one!"

"A 2 year tour?" I ask. Only seeing Harry a few times a year, possibly less? That won't work. Harry shushes me by putting a finger to his lips and keeps listening.

"I guess we'll think about it but-" He looks down at the phone in disbelief. "They hung up on me." He says.

"Oh Haz." I say. He laughs and I lay my head on his chest.

"They want to start a 2 year tour." He tells me, the smile fading from his lips. "And we need to leave Venice tomorrow. The fan outbreaks are getting worse. We're going to lay low in California and work on some new stuff at SYCO there." He says.

"Oh." I groan, looking away.

"You should go home, Cal." He says. I look at him in disbelief. "You haven't spent any alone time with your mom since she got married."

"You're right Harry." I say, a rush of guilt spreading through my veins. He sighs.

"I'll come visit you when I'm done. I'll miss you too much if we stay apart too long." I say. He nods. I lean in to kiss him on the cheek but he turns away.

"We should start packing." He says throwing some clothes into a suitcase. Without replying I walk out of the room and down the hall. I almost run over Alyssa and Zayn.

"I can't wait for L.A Callie!" Liss says.

"I'm not going. I need to spend some time with my mom." I tell her.

"Oh." She says. She doesn't look me in the eye as they start towards Zayn's room to pack. I unlock the door to my room and start throwing things into my suitcase at random. I pack for several hours until my eyelids droop shut. I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow and start a long, dreamless sleep.

The airport buzzes excitedly as I make my way alone to gate 13-B. The kiss Harry gave me only minutes ago tingles on my lips and I wish he could be here with me as I board the plane and sit down. As we take off I pull out my Ipod. I've been saving this until I was alone and lonely. This feels like the perfect time with a sinking feeling in my gut telling me I've made the wrong decision. With just a swift motion of my finger the music vibrates through me.

Am I asleep am I awake or somewhere in between

I can't believe that you are here and lyin next to me

Or did I dream that we were perfectly intwined

Like branches on a tree or twigs caught on a vine

I can't help it now. I start to cry.
