Erm... So... Basically (One Direction Fan Fic)

Chapter 25

(Wednesday night: 3 days till departure)

    As Lyla and I waited at the dinner table at the private restaurant we reserved, I couldn’t help but be a bit fidgety out of nerves. All the boys were meeting us for dinner, Harry included, and I would be telling them about my meeting with LA Ried…

About…

how I had to choose between touring with them, or keeping my Album security when it came to being signed at his label.

I still hadn’t come to a proper decision, I knew I would eventually, but I also knew it would be last minute.

Like always.

“It’s going to be okay…” Lyla reminded me as she patted my back.

    “Mary!!!” Liam shouted smiling wide, following were Zayn, Niall and Louis, with excited grins.

“My boys!” I laughed, getting up from the table to give them hugs.

“Girl, you look fab.” Louis joked pointing at me sassily before Lyla approached him for a quick kiss.

I looked down at what I was wearing, dark skinny jeans and i button up aqua blue tank top. I was wearing a gold skinny headband in my hair and my hair was in curled ringlets, I really liked the style I was coming up with lately.

“Thank you, approval from you is everything!” I replied.

There was something missing though… Where was Harry?

Just then the curly haired boy appeared and our eyes locked in surprise. We hadn’t been face to face in what seemed like forever.

“Marilyn…” He said, keeping contact.

“…Harry.” I spoke back, breaking contact.

“Let’s sit down guys, reunion time!” Zayn broke the tension.

We all nodded and took our seats.

After some small talk and comfortable laughing with everyone, Harry included, it really did seem like things were back to normal, or at least getting there. Niall and I have become much stronger friends through it all, the other boys were always so lovely and close to my heart… and I knew that Harry and I could be fixed.

“The tour could fix us.” I thought to myself.

After that thought,

I looked up and saw Harry staring at me, I couldn’t help but wonder if he was thinking the same thing.

We smiled at each other and I noticed him blush.

“What?” I mouthed to him, eyebrows raised.

He shrugged his shoulders and looked over at the others, too busy with conversation to notice us.

“You look beautiful.” He mouthed.

I bit my lip and looked away, feeling those butterflies in my stomach, they’ve been away for quite awhile now.

“Hey everyone… I need to talk to you all about something.” I stuttered nervously.

They all turned their attention towards me.

“What’s up miss Mary?” Niall wondered.

I looked at them all before speaking, their smiling faces beaming over at me.

“LA Reid… he may be dropping me from the label if I go on tour with you all. In his eyes, it’s all a gamble. I go with you all, and could possibly become just as well known as before, maybe more, and be able to spend time with you all, which is what I want more than anything… or… stay behind on my own, and see what they have in store for me.” I blurted out without building into it, I would have just said something stupid.
