Finding My Soulmate

Chapter 13

Hazel

What a long and slow shift. There were only a few woman in the maternity ward, all in different stages of labor, neither in active labor so I didn't get to help deliver any babies today. I did get yelled at though, but I understand, she was in a lot of pain and I asked her if she needed anything else, bad mistake.

What did get me through my shift though was thinking of Harry. I sat at my desk wondering how his interview went, bummed I couldn't listen to it. The stupid radio station didn't come in where we were in the hospital. My friend and coworker Ashley, who was also in love with One Direction, was just as bummed as I was but we both planned on listening to it on my phone later at lunch. I remember the conversation her and I had when we first got into work

*flashback*

"OMG! Are you excited for the interview? I know it's not going to be anything exciting but to just hear them talk will be amazing!" Ashley gushed as walked into the building.

"Yeah I'm excited, I can't wait." I smile.

"I can not freakin wait to hear Harry talk, his voice is so sexy! I can't wait to see them at the show in Memphis in a couple weeks. I am hoping to meet Harry and have my way with him. I've heard he's quite the lady's man," she winked at me, pushing the button for the elevator.

Her comment irritated me to no end. "You can't believe everything you read Ashley. He doesn't just sleep around with all these girls, especially girls he meets at his shows." I say, probably a little to harsh.

"How do you know? It's not like you've met him or anything. I'm still going to try," she huffs, set in her ways.

"Uh, yeah I know, but I'm sure most of the stuff you read or hear is made up to create publicity." I tell her, knowing she probably won't listen. I know now that I will feel better if Harry, if he gets asked, says he is dating someone but just keep my name out of it. That way everyone knows he's taken.

*end flashback*

On the drive over to my moms i think back on listening to the interview and listening to Harry speak, saying he was seeing some who has a lovely name. I smiled. And then laughed when I thought of Ashley grumbling over the fact Harry was taken. I was dying to tell her it was me but she would just laugh and say 'yeah right!' in her high pitched voice she gets.

My heart melted when he said that it just took the right girl to change him. How the heck did I get so lucky that someone as great and sweet as Harry wants me?

Oh gosh, we only met a week ago and have only been really getting to know each other over the past few days, how can we be feeling this way? I know we have spent a lot of time talking and getting to know each other but is that really enough to just drop everything and go travel around the world with him? Enough to have Chloe apart of that lifestyle? Oh god, I'm starting to hyperventilate. Come on, Hazel, get it together you're driving. Deep breath.

I pull into my parents driveway shortly after my little freak out. I take a deep breath, calming myself some more before fading my mother. I walk up the steps and knock once before opening the door and walking in and finding my mom and Chloe in the living room. My mom was rocking Chloe, who was fast asleep on her shoulder. My mom holds up one finger, telling me to wait just a minute. She gets up and sets Chloe in her pack and play and motions for me to join her in the kitchen.

"Hazel, how are you, are you okay?" She asks, giving me a quick hug before holding me at arms length, looking me over, knowing she will see through any lie I try telling her. So instead of lying and telling her nothing is wrong, I let out a long sign and sink into a chair at the table and cover my face with my hands.
