Chapter 13

"So you're gonna watch the interview right?" Justin asked through FaceTime.

"Of coarse. Just because I'm not with you, it doesn't mean I won't support you. What time is it at?" I asked him, sitting down on my couch.

"I think we go on in about 2 hours. So maybe 6 your time." Justin suggested.

"Okay." I said simply.

"Lani?"

"Yes Justin?"

"H-how are you doing?" Justin asked in concern. I stared at the screen of my phone.

"I'm fine...I guess." I told him uncertainly.

"Lani...have you even talked to him?" I bowed my head and shook it.

"No. I haven't." I whispered.

"Lani, you need to. You have to. It's killing him. You don't reply to his texts, calls. He's nothing without you."

"You think I'm any better Justin?! I've stayed away from everything and everyone for practically 2 weeks. I can't sleep, I can't eat. I feel lost." I spilled out. Justin closed his eyes and slowly reopened them.

"Lani, he blames himself for this. If only he didn't say anything about you two...."

"Justin, since when do you even care? I thought you hated Harry?" I snapped.

"I never hated him. I was jealous, sure. But as long as your happy, so am I. Right now, I know your not happy."

"I am. See?" I gave him a fake smile.

"Lani! I'm serious. Are you really gonna let some management get in between you and Harry?"

"They already have, Justin. There is nothing I can do."

"But there is. You were always a rebel. Ever since 7th grade. What happened?"

"I'm not-I've changed Justin."

"If you've changed, that means your fears have to. And that's not true. So you haven't changed." I grumbled, knowing he was right.

"You know what? I think you should get ready for that interview of yours. I gotta go anyway. Bye." I said in annoyance.

"Bye." Justin said with a sigh.

"So Harry, we haven't seen the lovely Leilani Ross around. Where is she?" The interviewer asked Harry. Even with the makeup, I could see the dark circles under his eyes. His face seemed a bit slimmer than I've seen before. It hurt me, but I couldn't do anything.

"She- uh.... Lani left to go back home. I don't-I don't really know if she's coming back." Harry said in his husky voice.

"Why is that?" The interviewer asked nosily.

"We um broke up." He stated. I could see the hurt in his eyes, that no longer possessed that bright sparkle.

"That's so sad to hear. I'm very sorry. Changing the subject, how is it touring with everyone?"

I watched as Harry's daze move to the side. He seemed distant. Gone. Like he was missing something.

I didn't want to see his hurt face much longer, so I shut the TV off. I grabbed my phone and unlocked it.

"Good morning beautiful."

"I can't get you out of my mind."

"Lani please talk to me."

"Annie I miss you."

"Don't let this be the end of us."

"I can't stand being away. I want you here with me."

"I love you Annie. I love you so much."

I stared at the constant texts Harry gave me each day. Always trying to get me to respond. Soon, there were less and less. Today I got none. He must've given up. He gave up after trying so hard, but I never gave anything a chance, when I should've.
