Always and Almost Forever. {Harry Styles}

Chapter Nineteen

I turned in my seat and glared at Amy who was now driving, her eyes glued to the road and a small smirk was forming on her lips.

“Why again did you just tell me this now?” I asked her as I clutched my phone tighter. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“Because I had to make sure you’d promise me first that you’d tell him when you see him” She said, rolling her eyes.

“I never promised anything!” I screamed at her, causing her to wince. “And I’m not going to that concert!”

Amy rolled her eyes once again before pulling over and stopping at one side of the street, then she faced me “But you have to tell Harry! And-“

“No!” I screamed back at her as I crossed my arms “I’m not going and that’s final!”

“But what about his tweet?” She said, now desperately pulling at the pink edges of her hair.

I raised my eyebrows at her and before I could even say anything, she shook her head before grabbing her phone. “I wasn’t on twitter or the internet, for that matter, that much since I was trying to avoid them!” I told her.

“You really are clueless!” She yelled at me as she quickly typed something on her phone before shoving it to me. She started the engine again and we were back on the road.

I grabbed her phone and saw that it was on twitter, revealing a tweet which was sent yesterday.

I’ll wait for you tonight. 8 PM exact. If you don’t show up, I guess this is goodbye. x

“We only have twenty minutes!” Amy screamed as we sped past through the streets. I had to hold onto my seat and yell at Amy to slow down.

“We won’t even get there alive if you keep on pressing on the accelerator!” I yelled, each word getting louder as we drive past the speed limit. “Amy, seriously, you need to slow down”

Amy pressed on the brakes as we got stuck in traffic and sighed loudly “We’re going to be late. You won’t get there in time!”

I looked down at my Converse and an idea came across my mind. I unbuckled my seatbelt and turned to Amy “I’m going to run to the arena. I’ll see you there, okay?”

I watched as Amy’s smile broaden then she gave me a hug “Go get your guy, Jo”

I chuckled as I opened the door. Before I close it, Amy bent down to look at me and said “You’ll be okay, Joanna. I’m sure of it”

I felt my legs giving up as I ran through the streets, mumbling a sorry every now and then to every person I hit. I didn’t stop, I can’t stop. I checked at my watch and it was five minutes before eight. I cursed to myself as I tried to run faster than ever that I couldn’t feel my legs anymore.

But I didn’t care. I had to get to that arena and face him; I have to see him and tell him the truth. I know I will be sorry for my legs in the morning but I guess that’s better than being sorry for my heart for the rest of my life. The arena was now in sight and I saw cars parked everywhere, some teenagers were screaming at the entrance of the arena, begging to be inside.

Four minutes.

I ran faster than ever and I stopped as some of the fans were blocking the gates. I panted heavily, and I felt my heart beating the air out of my lungs, hurting my chest. I looked around and my eyes started to feel fuzzy and I couldn’t feel anything.

Someone then grabbed my arm and when I turned around, I saw Isabel, looking like she too was running because she too was catching her breath.

Three minutes.

“What are you doing here?” My voice came out as a breath as I tried to talk. I swallowed heavily as my hand reached my throbbing head.

“You have to get inside now” Isabel said, gasping for breath at every word. She looked around frantically before dragging me towards the back “Now. You can’t be seen!”

“Why are you here-“

“She knows you’re coming!” Isabel whispered as she began running, dragging me along with her. “She doesn’t know I’m here. She’s waiting for you on the entrance. You have to go inside”

Two minutes.

Out of breath, we both ran towards a door, which took us inside the arena. Although my sight was becoming foggy, I saw fans around us. The air grew thick as my vision failed. I looked around and saw nothing but darkness. I felt my heart tugging on my chest as I tried to breathe.

The whole arena was quiet when I heard his voice “60 seconds…”

I tried to grab for something or someone. I gasped as I felt something hit my head, the pain numbing me completely. I opened my mouth to say something but I felt nothing come out but air.

“Come stop your crying, it will be alright” I heard Harry sing, his voice echoing inside the arena. I closed my eyes shut as the pain circulated the top of my head. I opened my eyes but I still saw nothing but darkness and tiny splotches of light.

“Just take my hand, hold it tight” He continued singing slowly and I heard him sniff. It was the song he always sang to me when I was crying, but right now, he was the one crying. His soft cries filled the whole arena and he started counting down from ten.

“Ten” He whispered.

“Nine” I felt the air knock out of my body as I held onto something to keep me from falling.

“Eight” His voice broke.

“Seven”

Harry, I tried to call out but I heard nothing come out.

“Six” I felt my own legs give up, and I collapsed down on the floor.

“Five”

“Joanna!” I heard Isabel call out from beside me but I didn’t see her.

“Four” Harry continued counting.

“Three.  Joanna, where are you?” I heard his voice broke.

I’m right here, Harry. I tried to say but I felt my throat become dry. I felt a tear escape my eyes as I tried to get up.

“Two. I’m waiting…”

“One” I heard him whisper shakily before I collapsed again, this time, my feet, hands, voice and consciousness failing me completely.
