Haylor One-Shots

Twitter

"Harry, five minutes until stage..." I sigh heavily and glance around the dressing room before calling out, "sure, I'll be there." Picking up my microphone I adjust my hair so it flops just the way I like before walking towards the door and turning into the hallway. I can see Niall and Liam up ahead. "Oi!" I call out. They quickly turn as Niall turns on his cheeky grin.
"You alright mate?" he questions as I manage to nod and Liam claps me on the back, trying to be supportive. "You'll be right." Somehow I manage to believe them as we meet Louis near the stage. "Ready to do this boys?" he questions whilst adjusting his shirt. I nod as Liam and Niall energetically answer back. Glancing towards the stage I don't exactly know why I'm not excited, I've been doing this since I was sixteen and for some reason it just doesn't feel the same anymore. Glancing at the boys I see they are all happy. "One minute." I turn and find myself face to face with the side manager Joseph who has been here at the AMA's as long as we have been performing on it. "Alright." I state as he smiles and then the light signals the start of our allotted time.

Taking to the stage we wave and settle into position. Niall shoots me a warm smile as the music starts. We agreed on an old song for tonight so we are performing, 'Drag Me Down' I'm pretty excited to perform this one as it was our first single as a foursome band instead of our five man crew and as the final bars play out and the audience begins to politely clap I breathe a sigh of relief. Walking off stage I walk back to the dressing room with the boys and sit down to relax for a minute. Louis gets a phone call, "...now. God she has good timing...no just finished." I glance at him as he hangs up. "Jasmine decided to super glue her finger to a can so I'm headed out to the hospital..." he states shaking his head. I join the rest of the boys in laughing at the thought of his three year old daughter super gluing herself. He changes quickly before rushing out and soon it's quiet again. Pulling out my phone I see a few text messages that I quickly check. "That was amazing, loved it." Followed by a, "Perfect song for AMA's, great choice." I begin to smile as I open the last one. "Perfect song tonight babe. Will you be late?" Chucking my phone aside I quickly change my nice shirt for a t-shirt and throw on my black skinny jeans before rushing out. "Guess he's in a better mood..." Niall claims as Harry slams the door behind himself.

Rushing towards a waiting SUV that will take him where he needs to be, he chooses to sit back and relax. Pulling out his phone he checks his notifications before a trend on twitter catches his eye #missingTayTay. Harry frowns and choses to stalk the trend quickly coming to the conclusion that it's because Taylor wasn't at the AMA's tonight he shrugs and tries to convince himself that he shouldn't care but he's been hearing rumours about her and they are beginning to worry him. Scrolling through his phone he stops at a contact that he hasn't used in nearly three years, pausing to dial he waits for it to be accepted at the other end. "Hello..."
"Hey, it's Harry." I say to a hostile voice, not that I blame them.
"I know, what do you want?" I take a quick breath, talking to old flings shouldn't be this hard but of course Kendal and I had never agreed to be friends after. She was my rebound from Taylor once upon a time. "I just uhm, well..." Kendal quickly interrupts with a sigh.
"Look Harry, I know why you're calling but to be honest I don't know how she is, what she is doing or where she is. No one does. She's hardly active anymore, you know that. No music for the past two years." I take a deep breath, I do know that she has been absent for a while but paparazzi are still hunting her down, "I know Kendal but I just thought you may know is all. Sorry to bug you." I'm about to hang up when Kendal speaks again. "Why?" I falter.
"Why, what?" I question back as she speaks.
"Why now? It was always her but you let her go." I sigh, I've never told anyone outside my family this before, "because she needed someone better than a twenty one year old idiot messing up all the time. She needed a man and that wasn't me." I can hear Kendal tut over the phone indicating that she disagrees. "If you had of come back, she would have taken you easily. She loves you."
"Loved me." I correct Kendal as Kendal laughs at my response.
"You're insane if you think that she has stopped loving you. You never forget your first love, you know that as well as anyone Harry." I sigh and realise that Kendal is right. Taylor was my first love but I let her go, and she fell into the arms of Calvin Harris in 2015. It's now 2018 and my love for her has never changed. "You're right but what am I supposed to do?" I question. Kendal laughs.
"That's up to you, I hear she likes L.A right now." My mouth drops open as Kendal hangs up. I look down at the now black screen and sigh. 'I can't do this to her.' So instead of getting the driver to go to her place I ask to be sent to my L.A residence which is near to Taylor anyway. Hopefully Maddie is still there and hasn't left for France yet.
