CHAPTER 35 - AN UNFINISHED MESSAGE

Harry’s POV

I woke up the next morning feeling surprisingly rested. I guess talking with Zayn had put me at ease. I had always teased him about being all deep, but I actually was very lucky that he was.

I sat up, rubbing my eyes lightly. Feeling a little more awake, my eyes landed on the folded piece of paper Zayn had given me. I can’t believe he found it in one of the hotel rooms. I thought I had it the whole time. Well, at least it was completely lost and not in the hands of a stranger.

I picked it up and unfolded it. I read the lyrics over and over even though I already had memorized them a long time ago. I can still remember when I wrote them. All of us were grouped in a hotel room trying to write a collaboration. It was back when Kari and I had no worries. When we acted like a love struck couple because we were one. Or at least I thought we were. I would give anything to go back to those days.

I still had the memories that constantly played through my mind, but that wasn’t good enough. Memories are in the past, not now.

I read the lyrics one last time before refolding the paper and placing it back on the table. I got up and went to take a shower. Once I was ready for the day I headed for Zayn’s room. I didn’t care if I had to wake him up, but I wanted to work on the song and I was holding Zayn to it to help me.

I would ask the other lads and Claire, but they were out late last night and I knew better than to wake them this early. If I did they would just sneak off and take naps anyway.

When I got to Zayn’s room I knocked and immediately a perky Zayn answered. Wait, am I in another dimension? Zayn and I both sleep the most, but usually I have to do everything in my effort to get him up.

“Oh, Zayn what the hell? I was expecting to have to bust down your door and wake you up,” I said, caught off guard.

“Change of pace I guess,” Zayn shrugged.

“Well, okay then. Do you want to help with the song?” I asked hopefully.

“Of course,” Zayn agreed and we went back to my room, “but let’s eat breakfast first.”

“Sure.” I said and we ordered room service.

Once our stomachs were full of amazingly good food we pulled out some scratch paper and pencils and started writing. We were ready to write a song.

Kari’s POV

It felt like I had been crying for ages. And that’s all I had been doing. I rarely got out of bed or talked to any of the guys.

I was supposed to help them write again today, but they said to just rest. I tried to convince them I was fine, but they easily deciphered my lies. Eventually I agreed to stay and continued wallowing in my own tears and pity. I can’t believe I was such a fucking dumb and selfish bitch. When I ran all I thought about was myself. How I couldn’t handle it. I never once thought of Harry or how he felt.  He had been disappointed when I left and it seemed like I hadn’t even cared. But I did care. I cared about Harry. I cared about how I just packed up left the people closest to me. I cared about my mistakes. And I cared about my stupidity if that made any sense.

I abruptly sat up in bed causing all the used tissues to fall off of my stomach. I wiped the tears away from my eyes and took a deep breath. Fuck all this being sad shit. Laying here crying wasn’t going to change a thing. I had to take action.

My plan wasn’t to go and show Harry how I was wrong and convince him that we could live happily ever after. No. After all that’s happened, that would be worthless and impossible. He probably hated me right now. But what I thought was more sensible was to show that I had some sense knocked into me and I was sorry. That was a better idea. I would prefer to do it in person though.

I picked up my phone and found Simon’s number. As it rang I desperately hoped he would pick up.

“Hello?” his voice rang through the phone.

“Hi Simon, it’s Kari,” I said.

“Ah, Kari. What can I do for you?”

“Well, I was wondering if I could maybe go back on tour with the lads and Claire for a few days to sort out a few unfinished things before I fully get in involved back here in Australia?” I asked.

“I don’t see any problem with that. I’ll have Kate book you flight for tomorrow afternoon. Everyone will be in Florida by then,” Simon informed me.

“Thank you Simon,” I said gratefully.

“No problem. Just call me when you plan on going back to Australia,” Simon said.

“Will do. Goodbye Simon.”

“Goodbye Kari.”

The line went dead right after that. This plan will either work out well or turn out very badly. But I guess I’ll never know if I never try.

Harry’s POV

Zayn and I had been working on the song for a while when everyone else came to join us. They still looked pretty sleepy though. I doubted we would get much help out of them. Anyway, we proudly showed off our progress. Everyone was impressed, especially Claire. Then we all worked on it some more together. Around mid-afternoon I scribbled down the last line. We actually finished it.

We all sat back from our seats around the table and burst into cheers. We just wrote a real song. It was pretty good too, if I do say so myself. I think that Kari would be proud of us. I hoped that if one day if she hears it she’ll know that I don’t hate her. Because that’s not even close to the truth. I still love her just as much as before.   

It felt good to put all my thoughts and emotions into something that would be heard by millions people eventually. It may just be a story to an average listener, but all of us will always know what it’s really about. But I think a major weight had just been taken off my shoulders. And that felt really good.

My unfinished message was finished.

AN: Well hello everyone! I feel really bad considering the last time I updated was March 9th and it's now the 31st. Excuse me while I go hide under a table. Please don't throw tomatos at me. March was a really busy  and stressful month for me and I'm sure you can relate to that in some way. But now I'm on spring break and I can write! Yay! 

As for the last goal, you guys were amazing! You completely surpassed it! But for being such a terrible updater I'll make the goal 8 VOTES AND 4 COMMENTS! Hopefully you guys can do that.

Also I posted a one shot a few days ago if you wanna read it that would be much appreciated. It's about Louis if that convinces you...

And a while ago, all the way back in chapters 31 and 32 I said thank you to a commentor and pinky promised them that I would mention their username in the next chapter. Yeah. Well as we see, that did not work out, yet I remembered now. Anyways, long story short, dedication to AllyStyles11.

Finally, if you read this far, you're either bored, a faithful reader, or just awesome. Or let's just say all three. So you get a chance to here about my little contest. A while ago I mentioned which One Direction guy my next fan fiction would be about. It should be somewhere in the last five chapters. So, if you are the first one to comment which guy it's about and if you are excited for it you will get a shoutout and follow from me. Hopefully that's cool for a little contest.

Okay, thank you so much for reading.
