Circles, we going in circles. Dizzys all it makes us. We know where it takes us, we've been before.

Distant. That's what he was. Distant. Ever since I arrived back home and he went to London again he's been distant. Yeah okay he's in another continent but,
Distant.
We are talking on the phone right now, actually.
"Niall?"
"Hm?"
"you okay?"
"Mm hm."
See. Distant.
"Did you need to tell me something?"
"Yeah actually. I don't know how to say this but..."
"But what?"
"I think we need a break."
"Oh."
"I've got to go."

Dial tone.

So I called Brandon.
"B, Niall just called me."
"Mmhmm I don't need to hear about your phone se.x. "
"I think he broke up with me. "
"WHAT?"
"Yeah."
"Oh s.hit Abilene."
"Yeah."
"No I mean oh s.hit."
"What?"
"Have you been on Instagram?"
"...No."
"I'm coming over."

Dial tone.

Brandon arrived 10 minutes later in his skinny jeans, flannel, and sunglasses. "Hey Harry Styles. "
"You know me," he flaunted. "Okay so I'm going to need all your electronics."
"Uh why?"
"Because. But first I need to use the bathroom. Gotta blast!"
I picked up my phone and went on Instagram. What could be so bad that he needs my phone...
Oh. 
There was Selena Gomez with Niall at Santa Monica last night. There were articles about events I didn't even know Niall attended.
He had PDA with Selena? So that's why he asked for a break? To be with Selena? The toilet flushed and I scrambled to put my phone down.
"Brandon you knew Niall was with Selena?"
He sighed. "Damn, I wanted to shield you from it. "
I would have seen it somehow."

"Yeah but I didn't want you to get upset over it."

"I'm not."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

"Well Andie just called me and he wants me to come over."

"Nasty."

"Kisses!" he shouted as he walked out the door.

I walked up the stairs to my room and pulled out my red journal. I chuckled lightly and flipped through it. I thought of Harry every time I wrote in it when I was younger.

Harry Styles: Hey Abilene. I've heard the news. How are you holding up? H

Speak of the Devil.

Me: Hello Harry. Really nice to hear from you. I've been okay. How are things on your end?

Harry Styles: They've been better.

Me: I have something to give to you, how can I get it to you?

Harry Styles: Ship it to me.

I wrote a few more entries in the red journal and went to the post office. I sent off the red journal that contained all my thoughts and day dreams.

To: Niall Horan
From: Me
how are you?

Me: i don't even think i'm mad.

Me: i don't know what to think acc

Me: i guess you're not going to answer.

Me: ok bye.

HARRY STYLES SEEN IN WASHINGTON DC HOLDING A RED JOURNAL

"Harry!"

"Abilene!" Harry took me in his embrace. "I've read your journal."

My face went red and I pulled him into the lounge in my house. "I've never thought like that, Abilene. Your mind is filled with such wonder."

"Stop, you're making me blush."

He laughed and handed my journal back to me. "Why did you even give me your journal?"

"When I was writing in my journal, I thought that I was writing to you and one day, if I meet you, I would give you my journal."

"Well, one thing checked off your list."

"Eh, three. I have met each member of One Direction."

"And..."

"I have accomplished to have Harry Styles sit on my couch." He laughed again. "I need to come to DC more."

"I agree, and so does my family. And all of DC." He laughed "You make me laugh so much." he shook in laughter before calming down.

"Abilene I'm going to my hotel and then sight seeing, do you want to come?"

"Of course, I mean, who would reject this offer?"

_

Harry unlocked his hotel room and let me into the lounge. "From your lounge to mine!"

I smiled at him sat on the seat in the lounge while he got ready.

There was a knocking at the door and Harry cried out over his hair dryer (yes, his hair dryer. I swear that boy straightens his hair.) , "ABILENE CAN YOU GET THAT?"

I opened the door and lord and behold,

Niall was right there.

"Jeez, Harry. Where have you been?" he was looking down at his phone and I was paralyzed.

"I- Uh- Um."

He looked up and his eyes widened. "Abilene?"
