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

Chapter 27

(8pm. Saturday. Departure time)

Harry’s POV

    “She’s got 5 minutes.” Zayn said as he looked up from his watch. I sat upon my suitcase and looked around to a quiet LAX. I expected it to be much more crowded on a Saturday night, but I guess not. Maybe it was because we were in a first class section… either way… I could have been by myself in this giant place, and I still would have been nervous.

If Marilyn shows up tonight to join us on tour, she could ruin all her chances with her record label, and I knew how much that meant to her. I sighed and dug my hands into my face, praying she wouldn’t show up. I then felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked up to see Lyla. She noticed I was staring and politely smiled down at me.

“Is she coming?” I asked her quietly while I glanced over at the others, tweeting and collecting their things.

She sighed and motioned me to scoot over so she could sit on the large suitcase with me.

“We haven’t talked since yesterday afternoon. You probably know more than I do… since Louis told me you saw her last night.” She answered me.

I looked down at the ground and anxiously moved my lips around.

“Did she say anything last night that seemed suspicious?” Lyla asked me curiously.

I turned my head to face her as I thought about it.

“She asked me if this was goodbye…” I responded hesitantly.

Lyla’s face sunk as she became to get a bit teary eyed.

“I told her it wouldn’t be! Don’t worry!” I said a bit too loud, trying to reassure her.

She put her hand on my shoulder and looked into my eyes as she said,

“That’s not it… there’s something you need to know about Marilyn that I probably should have told you a long time ago.”

My heart sank as I looked into her saddened hazel eyes.

“Marilyn!” I heard Zayn shout.

No…

Lyla and I turned our heads to see a tired, yet happy, looking Marilyn, smiling over at Zayn. He ran and gave her a big hug as the rest of the boys eyes lit up.

“She can’t say goodbye.” Lyla said to me.

Marilyn’s POV

    I wrapped my arms around Zayn with such a warmth in my heart, It seemed like I had made the right decision. My relationship with these boys, and Lyla, was too strong for me to let go of. I could start back up later, after the world tour! Besides, One Direction could actually really help my career. It was a win win. I would really be missing my label though… all the confidence they had in me was amazing.

    I looked over at them all with a satisfied expression. But I wasn’t getting a response out of the one who mattered most, Harry.

“I really hoped you would come!” Liam shouted with warmth in his tone.

“Me too, you’re practically part of the 1D family.” Niall added.

I laughed as I noticed a concern glance from Lyla to Louis.

“I just knew where my heart was… with all of you, of course.” I concluded, swinging around.

“Well we’re happy you’re here…” Louis dragged on, a bit uneasy.

“Really happy!” Zayn shouted.

But before I could let out a giant grin, I was interrupted by words that would intensely hit my heart.
