Gotta be you... because nobody compares

I'm trying

---Adelaide's POV---

Tomorrow was my first performance of the tour. Today, was a me day. I was going shopping and was going to focus on things I needed for MYSELF. I was in the lobby telling Grace my news. She was so happy for me. We hugged eachother and said we needed to go out later for one last drink together. I agreed.

When I began heading to the doors of the Hotel, Liam grabbed me by my arm. Not hard, Just enough for me to turn. His eyes weren't furious the way they have been the last few days. This was the Liam I had known in the beginning. Still, My guard was up.

"Hello, Where are you headed to?"

"I need to do some shopping for tomorrow and for the tour. My clothes doesn't really scream popstar sensation" I joked. Maybe this would make the tour less awkward. I needed to brush off all awkwardness with any of the boys. Starting with Liam.

"Mind if I join? we Haven't really talked since. You know." He was definately different. What gave him the change of heart?

"sure, let's go"

We drove to the mall. I bought loads of different clothes. Jeans, Dresses, Skirts. I even bought a few pairs of new shoes. Liam carried half the bags. He was being a true gentleman.... something didn't seem right. I'm not sure what it was though. Suddenly, a million of lights flashed before us. It was the papparazi.

"Liam who is this?"

"Does Danielle know?"

"Who are you? are you his love?" we were bombarded with all these questions.

"I- umm-" I couldn't get any words out.

"leave her alone!!" Liam grabbed my arm and we ran away. Soon, nobody was by us. Liam told me to stay here as he went for the car. I looked around the mall, from where I was. That's when I saw it. The perfect shirt. I NEEDED TO BUY IT. Next to it was another shirt that went along with the first one. I went up to the vendor and paid for both shirts. I was so happy. (a/n I wont describe the shirts til later, It goes with the story:) )

When Liam finally returned with the car, I hopped in and we drove back to the hotel. the drive was quiet. It felt awkward. Suddenly, Liam began to speak.

"Addy, I want to apologize the way i've acted. I know I became super possesive. It's just. I wanted you for myself. Harry, he has this reputation. I thought to myself, Why should Harry get the girl. He'll just treat her wrong and leave her out in the dumps when he's done."

"yeah, in the end, It was you who was leaving me out in the cold Liam." His jaw tensed up. He continued.

"I know I know. I'm trying to apologize for that."

"so are you trying to tell me that you told Danielle and we can be free to show our feelings in public?" I already knew the answer. I was just testing him.

"No.... and no."

"How about this, We focus on the tour. Let's just go with the flow. If in the end me and you end up together then that's what it will be. If not... let me just do what I need to do." He wanted to argue I knew it, but he just nodded, Knowing I would not change my mind. He softly smiled at me as we drove the rest of the way to the hotel.

As I was about to walk into the lobby, I got a text. from Harry.

From: Harry- Did you and your lover enjoy the mall?

My knees locked right where I was. Liam noticed. but all he did was smile.

I replied to Harry's message.

To: Harry- He's not my lover, I needed help with some errands. My bestfriend is blowing me off for a mistake in which I admitted I was wrong, so I couldn't as HIM for help. Don't hate me. I'm too tired. you already know how much you mean to me.

"everything alright?" Liam asked.

"yeah, just texting a friend" I suddenly got another text. I read it and instantly frowned.

From: Harry- You have a funny way showing me how much I mean to you. See you tomorrow. bye

I knew he'd say that. Tomorrow I'll show him what he means to me. If he decides to not grasp it then...I wont chase anymore. I'm too tired of running.

I called Grace, me and her were going to go out tonight for a drink or two... or three. Once at the club, we drank a little too much. More like, I drank away most of my feelings. We ended up getting kicked out at about midnight. Grace dropped me off as far as the lobby elevator. She said she didn't want Mr. Adams to see her in such state. I hugged her goodbye and told her I'd text her when I could while on tour.

I stumbled out of the elevator. Walking towards my room I tripped. Almost hitting the ground, I was caught by two strong arms. I looked up and it was a worried Harry.

"y-you" I mumbled. "what do YOU want?"

"Kitten, are you ok?"

"don't call me that if you don't mean it" I pulled away from his grip. "that's the new forbidden word" I stumbled again, this time falling to the ground.

"what happened to you?" He asked. lifting me up bridalstyle he unlocked my door and walked me in.

"YOU, you happened to me. You're leaving me out cold. You don't talk to me. I fucked up Harry. Now You're fucking things up. You saved me from screwing things up completely. Don't let me go. You saved me" I was crying at this moment. He was rocking me.

"Adelaide, you need to clear your head before tomorrow."

"tomorrow, Yeah tomorrow. My song. My song is based on my feelings Harry. Listen to me listen. Listen" that was the last thing I sad before falling asleep.

---Harry's POV---

I didn't know WHAT to believe now. She looked so vulnerable in my arms. She said I saved her. She kept mumbling in her dream that I saved her. After a while, I wrote a note on a piece of paper and walked out. I wasn't too sure what I wanted yet. Well, I knew what I wanted... I just didn't know if I had the strength to go for it.

---Adelaide's POV---

I woke up with the biggest headache. It was ten in the morning. I quickly showered and changed into some black comfy sweats and a mint colored hoodie. I packed a little bit of my clothes for tour. After today's performance I'd finish packing the rest. I also packed up tonights outfit in a seperate duffle bag, along with the two shirts I bought from the vendor at the mall. I left my suitcases on the bed and began walking out with just my duffle bag in hand. when I suddenly saw a note on the kitchen table. It was from Harry. It had only two words on it. But they meant so much.

"I'm trying"
