Chapter 13: Reunions, Yelling and Heaven on Earth

~Shae's Pov~

I stared at my reflection, what I now called the familiar stranger. She had hollow eyes, she was thin, her hair lost its shine and she seemed like the life was sucked right out of her. I sighed and walked away from the mirror and over to my bed.

I pulled on my combat boots and when I stood up my suspenders bounced against my legs. I picked up my cross-body bag and walked out of my room. In the hallway I made myself walk a bit faster so that I wouldn’t be tempted to go into his room.

When I reach the kitchen, I looked at all the desserts that sat on the counters. I bake when I’m happy or sad and this baking was from the latter. I remembered when my mum called on the Wednesday before she was supposed to come back.

She didn’t get the news yet but she was really happy because she got a great job offer that included moving to the U.S. but I told her that I didn’t want to leave, that I really couldn’t. She's gone now, apparently her job is more important so now I’m officially living on my own.

I got a job at a topnotch bakery to pay for bills and food and on the weekends I go to the local care home and teach the kids there different recipes just to pass my free time and I probably enjoy it just as much as the kids, maybe little less. So all in all, I wasn’t doing too bad but soon I’d have to go to London for Uni. I did up about three or four applications for different schools but I haven’t gotten back any kind of response yet and notice I said yet.

The sound of a car pulling up brought me out of my thoughts and when I looked out the window a grin spread across my face. It’s probably the first one in weeks. I walked out and stood in the door frame as I watched the boys get out of the car. Four of them stay by the vehicle but the other one started to come up the walkway.

I couldn’t keep in my excitement anymore so I yelled,” Leeyum!” and ran to him. I wrapped my hands around his neck and he used my momentum to pick me up. Tears fell from my eyes but I couldn’t help that either.

“Why are you crying?” he asked with a smile on his face when I pulled back.

“’Cause I’m happy and sad but mostly happy,” I replied honestly.

“Alright, well there’s some people I want you to meet,” he said and turned to face the others. He’s most likely going to ask why I’m upset later.

Harry’s POV:

They turned to us and the familiarity of her hit me. I focused really hard as I tried to remember where I knew her from when I realized that she was talking to me.

“I’m sorry, what?” I said.

“I said that you’re staring at me and it’s scaring me more than Santa Claus,” and as she said that it all clicked.

“Hey, you’re that girl from when I was auditioning. Oh, what was your name. Um… uh… Shae? Yeah that’s it. Shae,” I said.

“Oh! My! Gosh! Harry Styles knows my name!” she pretended to fangirl as she grab her heart and took a step back. I laughed at this but then Zayn cleared his throat and this was the first time she even looked at him since we came.

“Problem?” her voice was cold and hard. It showed nothing other than pure disgust.

“No, not at all, except that maybe, just maybe, you’re kinda flirting with him in front my face,” he replied. I wasn't even flirting, if I flirted you would be able to tell.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you in anyway,” her voice dripped with sarcasm.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh nothing really besides the fact that my boyfriend cheated on me! Oh wait, I mean ex,” she told him harshly. I watched Zayn as his eyes widened. Huh? I never knew he had a girlfriend back home, he never mentioned her but he was always with Rebecca. 

“Shae, let me explain. I wasn’t thinking straight. With the competition and then my granddad-”

“Oh wow, the grief card. Well let me tell you something, I’ve been there, done that, got the fricking T-shirt but never have I made bad judgment. I probably lock out the world but I would not have done what you did!” she yelled.

“How would you know! The last time you lost someone was when you were eleven and he was your dad!” he shouted. Somehow I didn’t want to be here but this was also somewhat like a soap opera.

“You don’t know one shit about me anymore! When you were gone everything changed! I’m living on my own Zayn, my mum left me here cause her job is more important! Aidan’s gone too! I have no one anymore!” she screamed and turned on her heels to walk inside as Zayn yelled at her,” Well I’m sorry that I couldn’t be as perfect as you wanted!”

This made her stop and walk back to him. Her voice was so low that I strained to hear but it was deadly. “I’ve never thought, wanted or asked for you to be perfect. I just wanted to be happy but that’s too hard to ask for anymore,” and with her final words, she turned around to run inside but Liam was in her way

He pulled her to his chest and kept her there even though she fought against him. Eventually she gave up and just stood there, crying. Liam said something too low for me to hear but when she answered him his face fell and his grip on her loosened. She took that moment to run inside.

Liam looked pale as he turned to look at us. “Zayn you need to go.” Zayn started to protest but Liam just repeated himself. I then watched as Zayn walked away.

“Okay, what the hell did we just walk into??” Louis asked.

“Life,” Liam replied. Shae came back out with a container in her hand and a bag on her shoulder. Her eyes were dry and showed nothing of the previous argument. It was as if nothing happened.

“Sorry but I really gotta go,” she said as she walked to a grayish-blue Subaru.

“Wait, can they stay here for a week or two?,” Liam asked. She looked at us and smiled.

“Sure thing. You’ll show them the rooms, they’re gonna have to work out on who gets the master bedroom though. Oh and there’s a bunch of desserts in the kitchen, you guys can help yourselves, right?”

“Yes!” Niall responded immediately. She got into the car and drove off. We walked into the house and to the kitchen. My eyes widened when I saw all the different cakes and cookies and other sweets.

“Liam?" Niall whispered.

"Yes Niall," Liam answered.

"Did I die and go to heaven?" he asked, he turned to face Liam and Liam just pat Nialler's back.
