The Moment I Knew(Sharry Trilogy Book3)

Sleep Thinking

Shai's POV

I couldn't believe were I was in my life. In the past week I had gone to New York and done modeling for Covergirl. Now I was back in LA to make a music video, and start working on my second album. My boyfriend was going back on his European tour, and in a while I would be back on tour. So many times in my life I felt like if I woke up none of this would be real. But it all was.

Every day I woke up and went to the studio, rehearsed for the video, and within a week we were shooting it. It was a cute little dance number and for me it was beyond anything to actually be dancing for a video, and have back up dancers. I was actually pretty good at dancing.

"Wait, wait," the director says stopping us. "Brandon, you need to get closer to Shai." he pushes Brandon- the main boy in the video- closer so our bodies are touching. "Right there! This part is intense ok?"

"I didn't think it was too intense when I sang it," I whisper and Brandon laughs.

"Hey, it's a good song, and I'm glad I'm in the video." He says and steps back. "Just hope Styles doesn't care."

"It's a video, it's acting." I say with a smile and walk to my starting point.

"From there, ready? Action!" 

~~~

"I'm so glad that's done," I laugh as I walk into the recording booth. From the music video straight into recording. 

My life was more hectic right now than when I was on tour. Thank god I would be back out in just a few weeks. I knew that if I worked hard enough on the cd now I would have less to do while on tour. Which is why after the video was shot, I would work until well after midnight, sleep at the studio, and then get up at seven and get ready to do it again.

After four days though Scooter put a stop to it.

"You have to go back to the hotel, get a good sleep, and come back tomorrow." he says and I roll my eyes.

"I'm completly fine!" I exclaimed. 

"Shai you are living on coffee and five hour energy's. Go get sleep."

"It's only noon! I can't leave." I tell him.

"If you don't leave I will call Harry," he says warningly.

"Scooter I am not a child and Harry is not my keeper, it's my choice."

"Shai your voice isn't as good as it could be. Sleep effects that too." he says and I'm quiet. "I could call Justin too."

"No! He's on vacation, don't do that." I did not want to disrupt Justin's well deserved break.

"Then go back to your hotel and sleep. Sleep until you can't sleep anymore." he says and pushes me out of the room.

"Well right now I can't sleep because I'm wired," I whisper to myself. Maybe he was right, and I knew he wouldn't let me back in. I grab my purse and finally leave. Some fans are outside the studio so I happily stop and sign some things, take a few pictures, but Scooter must really want me to leave. He got security out to get me into the car. 

Pushy... As soon as the car door shuts the driver goes. Before I know it I am at the hotel.

The first thing I do is take a long hot shower. The studio showers just weren't the same... After that I put on some baggy sweats and one of Harry's t-shirts that he left me. I lay on the bed and turn on the tv, but before I know it I'm fast asleep.

Harry's POV

"Guys, what time is it in Los Angeles?" I ask looking at my phone.

"Three pm, why?" Liam answers.

"Shai hasn't answered any of my texts today. Usually she at least lets me know if she's busy recording, but today it's just- nothing." I say.

This was the same feeling I got when she was in LA recording last time. When she ended up cheating with Justin.. But Justin was in Canada with family. Shai wouldn't cheat on me either. No, we'd worked through it all. We were good.

"Can you guys believe I'm getting married in less than a month?" Liam asks out of the blue.

"No one cares Liam," Niall laughs.

"C'mon Niall, just because you and Harry are the only two not engaged or married-" Zayn starts.

"Or almost a father!" Louis cuts in happily.

"Or almost a father, don't be a dweeb." Zayn finishes and Niall laughs.

"I'm just waiting for everything to settle down first, don't worry I'll be the next one married." Niall says and they all look at me, possibly waiting for me to object.

"Guys I love Shai more than anything, but I think we can wait to get married. Be that one famous couple that doesn't hurry into marriage." I say.

"But you think you'll end up marrying her?" Louis asks.

"Just look at her ring finger." I say and they all smile at each other.

Shai's POV

I could just barely make out the sound of Harry singing to me. Was I dreaming? No I was being pulled out of a dream though. I open my eyes and the sunlight is almost blinding. How long did I sleep?

"It's got to be you, only you. It's got to be-" and the singing stops and I realize that was my phone that had ringing. What time was it??

I jump out of bed and grab my phone off the table. 8 missed calls?

6 from Harry, 1 from Justin, and 1 from Louis. I look at the time and see that it's 6:24.

"Holy," I mumble and try to think. I slept for over fifteen hours... I guess Scooter was right about me needing sleep. I couldn't believe I slept through all those calls too. I had to call Harry though. I quickly hit send and after two rings he answers.

"Where have you been?" someone answers, but it's not Harry.

"Niall Horan where is my boyfriend?" I ask.

"In the bathroom. Where have you been? He's tried calling a lot."

"Yeah I know. Scooter made me come back to my hotel and sleep. I've been sleeping for over fifteen hours."

"No way. You did not sleep that long." he laughs.

"Yes I did. I've been living in the studio getting about four hours of sleep a night. Scooter finally forced me to come back." I explain.

"Oh- Harry it's your wife!" Niall yells.

"I'm not his wife." I laugh.

"Not yet! Bye Shai I love you." Niall says quickly.

"Love you too, bye." I say and hear Harry and Niall mumbling and know Harry has the phone now.

"Hello babe, I heard you slept well," Harry says and then laughs.

"Oh Harry, you always make me smile." I say. "What are you up to?"

"Just chilling in Paris before the show tonight. I wish you were here." he says.

"Me too! I miss you Harry." I say and he sighs.

"I miss you too. Just a couple weeks." he says and we're both quiet.

"Harry, you know what I just realized?" I ask.

"What?"

"I've never been to Paris with you." I tell him.

"That is true." he says. "We will have to change that."

A/N

So this is just me venting here, but I'm seriously so sick of people pretending to be my friend and then just walking over me.
