Famous

Chapter 43

ASH'S POV

I gathered the last of my things that I had left in the room and packed them into a small bag. Louis must have gone out because he was nowhere to be seen. I was glad anyway; all he would do is try to stop me. I had managed to get one of the last tickets for a plane heading out to Australia in a few hours, which gave me hope knowing that the world was on my side going to Australia. Superstitious maybe, but the only thing that gave my courage.

I knew she wouldn't want to see me but that didn't mean I wouldn't try. I would show up every day if that meant she would at least hear me out. I would take anything I could get with her right now.

To everyone else Phoebe was this carefree, independent, strong woman, and they weren't wrong but there was more too Phoebe than they saw. She could be vulnerable and as much as she didn't like to show it, I knew she took everything to heart.

She hated showing even the smallest bit of weakness the same way I hated being away from her. She was my everything and being without her was slowly killing me.

TASH'S POV

My phone buzzed and I immediately jumped up from the couch to check it.

Harry: Knock knock

I rolled my eyes and chuckled at Harry's message. He had been sending me stupid jokes the last few weeks in an attempt to make him the perfect comedian. The only thing was, that his jokes were completely hopeless and I didn't have the heart to tell him how bad they were. I tapped in a reply just to entertain him.

Who's there?

A broken pencil

A broken pencil who?

I sent the message then placed my phone on the desk so I could brush out my hair. I knew he wouldn't be sending the last part of his joke for at least five minutes. It was something about building suspense so the whole thing was even funnier he always said.

Once I had removed the tangles from my hair, braided a small section and pinned it back he finally decided to put me out of my misery.

Never mind. It's pointless

I shook my head as soon as I got what the joke was. This boy was insane. I dialled his number then waited for him to pick up.

"Wow you must have liked my joke if you're ringing me straight away" he said.

"I just wanted to call and tell you to stick to your day job Styles" I laughed.

"I've missed your laugh" His voice sounded more serious now.

"I've missed you" I sighed. The two of us hadn't seen each other since I left for my brother's birthday. We had both been sending lots of time with our family and I knew that was important for us. The UK leg of the tour would soon be over and after that we would be travelling abroad. Both of us wanted to get as much family time as possible. Harry had also been busy the past week helping Gemma move into her new apartment in London which meant we couldn't visit each other.

On top of that he had been doing lots of meetings for the new album and the boys were busy with promoting their new material. Even though I understood why we couldn't spend any time whilst the tour was on a break, I wished I could see him.

"Are you ready?" Harry suddenly asked.

"For what?"

"I mean are you dressed and everything"

"Yes why?" I spoke slowly.

"I'll pick you up in two hours" He said and ended the call.

Not even a minute later he sent another text.
