It is just past midnight when we get back to the hotel. Harry hasn't spoken to me since before the concert. Is he mad at me? Why would he be mad at me? I didn't do anything. Whatever. He'll get over it. I hope.
Harry gets into the shower, and I plop down onto my bed. I check my phone, then roll over to go to sleep.
↝↝↝
I am almost completely asleep when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn over to meet Harry's warm, green eyes. Harry smells fresh from his shower, and he has his t-shirt on again.
"Lane," Harry whispers, "I'm really sorry I've been in a bad mood."
I half smile. "It's ok. You need a tampon?" I reply.
Harry chuckles deeply. "We all do sometimes." We both laugh quietly to ourselves.
Then, I take a moment and think back to my conversation with Eleanor. "Harry, can I hear your side of the story of our story? I want to know how you feel." I ask hopeful.
"I don't believe I know anything about this story... What makes you ask anyways?" Harry questions with a subtle smirk.
"A little birdy told me that you told them about how you genuinely feel about me. They said you spoke with such great admiration." I say, jokingly proper.
Harry rolls his eyes. "Fine. Only if you tell me yours too." He says as his smirk grew.
I nod and sit up in bed. "Should I get popcorn or..?" I joke, waiting for Harry to start.
"I'm trying to find my words." It was at this point, I knew he was serious.
Harry continues, "When I ran into you that night in Raleigh, I panicked. I panicked because I was afraid of you running off and starting rumors or something. Then, in the car, when I was taking you back to your hotel, I realized you were no average girl. You were different, and I like different. But in a way, it hurt that you didn't care for me. The next night, at my place, I couldn't let a girl, as special as you, just get away. I was afraid of saying goodbye. I grew a sort of protectiveness over you. I wanted you. I was even convinced I was in love with you. Not one person in this whole world has ever had me so attracted, so addicted to them. If anything ever happens to you- I swear- I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Laney, I love you."
My heart filled with warmth. I finally managed to reply, "awh, Harry." I hug him, and then sit up in my bed to tell my story. Harry is obviously ready for me to start because his dark, green eyes are set on me.
"Well.. Harry, to be honest I hated you at first glance. I thought you were a total douche bag. But the date you took me on was incredible. I loved talking to you. I felt so secure and I wanted to open up to you. I tried to convince myself I wasn't falling for you- but that was inevitable. I fell in love, and I hated it because there's nothing I could do about it. You continued to show me the best version of myself- a version of me that could open up to someone like you and live this extraordinary life. But it was all a dream- I didn't think reality could feel like this. And now, I'm not sure I will be able to say goodbye, because I love you too." I try to hold back tears, but Harry can tell I am going to break. He opens his arms, and immediately I go limp in them.

The next day, it is the middle of the week, and we are on our way to Mansfield, MA.
On the plane, I babysat Lux. She's so adorable! Harry is so cute with her too. We also hang out with the other boys. Louis tries to do a magic show- and as you can probably imagine, it is an epic fail.
Harry begins to eat his lunch on the plane, yet I am not hungry at all.
"Lane. Eat." Harry says.
"Harry. No." I reply.
"How are you not hungry?"
I shrug. "I'm just not."
Harry frowns but doesn't push it further. I have to turn away from his food because the thought of it makes me nauseous.
