Tell Me a Lie

Alone

Callie's POV

The plane ride seems endless. The people in front of me grumble, the baby somewhere behind me won't stop crying, and the thought of Harry wanders somewhere in the back of my brain. It's a huge relief when the plane lands and I'm in familiar territory again. I get my luggage and grab a taxi to ride home. It feels so good to be riding down these streets again. When we pull into my driveway it's nearly 2 AM. I open the door quietly. The TV is on in the living room.

"Callie!" Jarrod looks surprised to see me.

"Hi Jarrod. I'm home." I say.

"It's good to see you." He says. "Where's Harry? Do you need help with your stuff?"

"Harry and the guys are in California." I say. "I came home to visit and hang out with you guys."

Jarrod nods. "Your mom is going to be really happy." He tells me. "I'll help you bring your suitcase to your room. It looks heavy." He says picking It like it weighs nothing. It feels weird to be in my room alone. I haven't been in here for such a long time. My Harry Poster hangs above my bed, untouched. I give it a kiss like I used to do every night before bed. I never thought I would really kiss him. Oh Harry. I open the covers to my bed and hop inside. I haven't slept in my bed for months and it welcomes me warmly. I snuggle up in my duvet and fall fast asleep.

Harry's POV

The flat I'm sharing with the guys and Alyssa is cramped. I share a room with Zayn to keep and eye on him and Liam. We all sleep on air mattresses. Louis and Niall share a smaller room and Alyssa sleeps on the couch. All of our stuff is packed in the entryways and spilling out of closets. We tried to put stuff on the deck but seagulls pooped all over it. Zayn was not too happy about that. I wake up the first morning to Liam's snores and immediately wish I was back with Callie. I get up and step around suitcases to get to the door. I have to kick it to get it to open and the noise wakes up Liam. I really really wish I was back with Callie.

Callie's POV

I wake up to birds singing outside and sun shining through my window. I quickly change out of the sweatpants I was wearing and into new ones that Harry and I bought together. I put my hair into a ponytail and slowly walk downstairs.

"Callie! You're home!" Mom says. She leaves her spot behind the griddle and comes up to hug me. Daniel nods hello and I sit down at the counter.

"Would you like a pancake dear?" She asks and I nod. I'm starving.

"I've got to go make a call." I Say. Mom nods and I make my way down to the basement where it's private. I click Harry's contact. It goes straight to voicemail.
