Make You Feel My Love (One Direction)

Chapter Twenty-Six

**Chapter Twenty-Six**

•Harry's POV•

Last night had to have been the best sleep I had gotten since we started the European tour; possibly since we started touring in general. The show last night was great, the dinner afterwards was even better, and of course the person who had made it all so spectacular was Paige. We talked about everything from stories of her growing up to her dreams and ambitions, which were oddly quite similar to my own. More than anything, I know she wants to make it big in the music business - believe me, it can be difficult. But not if you have the right kind of help. Help from someone with influence, someone who's already experienced the music business; someone with connections.

Someone like... me.

Well, of course I was going to help her. How could I not? Seeing her happy would mean the world to me, and I know it would mean even more to her if I made it happen. Come to think of it, no girl had ever caught my attention this quick. I've fancied girls before and I've felt strong feelings for a girl a few times, but not like this. This was something almost chemical; intoxicating even. Even when I first saw her I knew she was what I had been waiting for. I had just met her yesterday and I already couldn't wait to see her again today.

I felt my phone vibrating in my hand and lifted it up to see Erin was calling me. At 7 o'clock in the morning?

"Hello?" I said curiously, wondering why she would be calling me so early. However, soon after I realized why.

"Harry make sure Louis is awake and that your bags are packed. We're heading down in about 15 minutes, okay?" She said sweetly, a hint of exhaustion in her voice.

"Okay. Oh! Erin wait, I have a question." I said quickly, almost forgetting about Paige.

"What's wrong, Harry?"

"Nothing, can I ride with you to Florence though? I need to talk to you about Paige... maybe she can ride with the girls in Paul's car with Zayn?" I was trying to think of a way to talk to Erin without making it obvious to the other girls that is was about Paige, but Erin was always the one to arrange seats. No one would suspect a thing.

"Yeah, of course! You can ride with me, Liam, Niall, and Louis. Maybe you can take the front with me so Liam can spend time with the other two; I feel like I steal him from them too much." She said with an excited tone. She hadn't been able to spend any time with me - or Niall - since we got here, and I could tell that she missed me. After all, we've been best friends since the beginning; even before I thought I screwed everything up with her in London.

"Sure. Me and Lou will be down in 15 minutes. I'll see you then." I said and then hung up to start packing everything.

"Louis get up! We have to be downstairs in 15!" I shouted, throwing a pillow at him only to hear a loud grunt in response. His eyes instantly shot open and a smile appeared as he jumped out of bed and started to pack his bag.

Obviously he's feeling the same way I'm feeling this morning.

"Okay everyone here's the deal: Paul and I are driving; Harry, Liam, Niall, and Louis are with me. Zayn, you and the girls are with Paul. Sounds good?" Erin told us all when we were all downstairs. She was in one of Liam's larger shirts and a pair of flannel pajama pants, but I had expected it; last night was probably the most sleep she had gotten since the tour started, and she was exhausted. Of course she needed sleep; and I didn't expect her to get out of her comfortable clothes just to drive us 2 1/2 hours to Florence.

Everyone seemed to agree with the seating arrangements, however Paige was looking at me quizzically from her position next to Anabelle. I simply smiled reassuringly and gestured for her to text me, which nodded back in reply with a smile.
