Ever Enough (ON HOLD)

Ever Enough - Horan Hug

*A/N* Had no idea that the beginning was missing from the chapter. "

Emma was not happy when she pulled up at the studios in London where the tour rehearsals were going to take place.

January could not have gone by faster. After spending the holidays with her family in Birmingham, Emma had not looked forward to going to London this time knowing that she was going to have to see Harry again. She didn’t know what was going to happen and she felt quite bad about everything that had happened on her last day in New York. She was being too harsh towards him and even though he did annoy her sometimes with his presence. But the problem wasn’t in Harry, It was in Emma herself. She tended to push people away because she didn’t want them to get close to her. And Emma’s mind often went back on what Harry had told her. It had made her rethink her actions. She didn’t want anyone to get close to her, she didn’t want to be judged of her past mistakes and she didn’t want anyone to know about her insecurities that’s why she was pushing everyone who tried to be her friend away.

She had problems in her life that she was trying to work on and being unfriendly and a Bitch was one of those. She knew she couldn’t live her life in hate and in past, she had to move on and accept it but it was not easy. But after Jeremy’s death and the incident with Tom, Emma felt like she couldn’t trust anyone, she had shut everyone out, all of her friends even her family. Because to her it seemed that everyone she loved had betrayed her.

Her parents whom she had never met, left her when she was just a baby, Jeremy, who she thought was the love of her life, someone who she trusted with her life, had betrayed her, he had lied to her and he had used her when she gave him nothing but her love and loyalty. That’s why she was better alone. That was she wouldn’t get hurt.

Taking a deep breath Emma got out of her car, slamming the door shut and locking it. Fixing her beanie on her head she walked towards the door of the studio. When she walked in she was met with the noise of the crew members setting everything up.

After greeting the stage manager, he showed Emma her work desk where all of the guitars for Dan, Niall and Sandy were lined up in their stands, ready to be tuned and fixed up so they could be ready for the band.

It was only half an hour later when the band started to arrive and by that time Emma had gone through almost all of the guitars. The only one that was left was Niall’s acoustic and his electric guitar. 

Taking the Gibson guitar in her hands Emma took a seat on the floor and laid the guitar in her lap. Taking the tuner from the floor she placed it on the guitar and started to strum the strings starting with the top one, turning the turning pegs until the string was in tune. When the guitar was in tune Emma stood up, placing the guitar strap over her shoulder. She started to play a random riff testing out the sound of the guitar, her fingers effortlessly sliding on the fret board.

She looked up when she felt someone staring at her, her eyes met with a pair of green one. Harry was looking back at her with no expression on his face. She almost expected him to start walking towards her but he didn’t, and that made Emma feel quite shitty inside. She had no idea what he thought of her, and she didn’t know why she even cared. Harry leaving her alone made her job kind of easier. But to be honest, she had gotten used to Harry’s presence when she worked, in that small amount of time that she had first toured with them.

Emma licked over her lips as she stopped playing and took the guitar strap off, placing the guitar back into its stand before taking Niall’s acoustic one and went to sit down on the ground, away from everyone’s stares.

“Hey Emma!” She heard her name being called and looked up, only to see Niall walking towards her, his acoustic guitar in his hand.

“I accidently broke the string.” Niall told her smiling sheepishly.

“Just put it somewhere and I’m gonna put a new string on after I’m done with this” Emma told him looking back down at the guitar.

“I can change it myself, just tell me where the strings are” Niall said.

“You know you don’t have to do it it’s my job so Just put it down and I’m gonna do it after I finish with this one” Emma told him. She expected him to just do as she said and put the guitar down but he didn’t. Niall stood his ground and insisted on changing the string himself.

“Niall It’s my Job and I can assure you I will have it done right before you guys start rehearsing” She told him, trying to stay calm.

“I know that, but you have been working hard so I should just do it myself because I broke it” He told her.

“Will you just… Just … Let me do my work?!” Emma snapped at him, she was starting to get really annoyed with him. Niall was taken back a little by her small outburst. 

“Sorry” He quietly mumbles, putting the guitar down on the ground “I was just trying to help” He said before turning to walk away. Emma sighed, rubbing her eyes. She felt terrible, He was just trying to help but she acted like a bitch towards him. She looked at Niall who was already walking away, his hands in his pockets.

“Niall!” She called out for him though he just ignored her and continued to walk. Emma sighed loudly and placed the guitar on the ground before standing up and running after him. She took a hold of his hand and turned him around so he was facing her.

“I’m sorry” Emma apologized “’for being a bitch”

Niall was quite shocked by Emma’s apology because it was the first time that he had heard her apologize to anyone that she has been a bitch to.

“I have gotten used to people staying away from me and leaving me alone and I know you only meant good and…” Emma sighed running a hand over her face. “I have attitude problems and trust issues and I have hard time trusting people.” Emma explained, though she had no idea why she was even telling him any of this.

“So I’m sorry if I somehow have hurt your feelings it’s just I have too many problems that I’m trying to deal with” Emma apologized once more.  Niall didn’t say anything; he took his hands out of his pockets and pulled Emma into a hug, giving her a tight squeeze.  Emma wrapped her arms around Niall’s middle, burying her head in his chest. She didn’t know what came over her but tears started to well up in her eyes and small sobs left her lips.

“Hey, what’s wrong” Niall ask her pulling away to look down at her. Emma was quick to wipe the tears from her eyes.

“Sorry, I don’t know what came over me… it just… just…” Emma shook her head; she didn’t know what to say to him.

“No need to apologize” Niall told her, rubbing her shoulder. “So, can I help you with changing that guitar string?” Niall asked. Emma chuckled and nodded her head. “It’s the least I can do” She replied.

Harry was watching the scene in front of him quietly. Jealousy was bubbling inside of him. But at the same time Harry was confused. He couldn’t believe that she was not being a bitch to Niall. He was jealous of his Irish friend and band mate. What did Niall have that he didn’t?
