The Hiatus

Chapter-3

I woke up to the obnoxious sound of my alarm ringing.
"Ugghh!! Wake-up time"- I mumbled to myself thinking of that song we used to sing ,the video boys made while me and zayn were asleep.
Zayn.
Maybe I should forget the fact that he called our music something he never liked. Because I sure as hell can't forget him,he was our brother,he still is.

I sat up and yawned loudly while stretching my body.I put my feet in the slippers and slowly walked towards the bathroom, rubbing sleep off my eyes.
I switched on the shower and waited for water to turn warm. As soon as it became as I like it I stood below and let water sooth my muscles, I'd slept good last night even though the bed was slightly smaller for my now taller version, and ofcource because it felt different.

I finished washing myself and threw a towel around my body while walking upto the wardrobe to pick out something to wear.
I chose my signature black skinny jeans and a black round neck T-shirt and tied my hair up in a bun. For once I decided to wear sneakers and took my sunglasses while walking downstairs.

" Good morning! "- I cheerfully wished Gemma, who sat on the kitchen counter stuffing her mouth with cereal.
" goofmawin"- she replied with her mouth full.
"Harry you want some coffee or something?"- mum joined us in the kitchen.
" Na I am good, I better leave now,its time"- I replied and checking myself once more in the mirror, walked outside.

It was a perfect sunny morning, with a light breaze, and birds chirped filling it with a positive energy.

I called up Mike on my way to my car
"Hello,omg Harry Styles,I can't believe this!!"
I rolled my eyes and replied
"Where do I come ".
" remember that playground we used to go to in kindergarten? Meet there!"- he replied.
"Be right there!"- I said putting the key in ignition and the engine roared to life.
I turned on the music system and a local radio station was tuned on,which was playing " Isn't she lovely" by Stevie Wonder, the one I sang for my audition. Listening to that brought a huge smile on my face and I started singing loudly along.
After that some fan has requested for Olivia to be played and I wanted to laugh ! So much our fans do.
I reached the place and my school friends had planned this breakfast in the middle of the ground, a table held all the food and drinks and chairs were arranged ,along with a banner that hung from the trees that read
"WELCOME HOME HARRY".

" Omg omg harryyyyyy!!"- a guy mocked playfully making all of us laugh.
"Oh guys,that is awesome. Thank you!"- I said truely grateful.
" Ah dude,would you come over and start? Because we are hungry and have other plans as well".
"Let's begin,my friends!"- I replied and all of us took the seats.
The food was amazing, and to top that they had got cupcakes from the bakery I worked in, I guess because they would've got them for free. After the breakfast I asked
" So,the next plan?".
Mike cleared his throat and replied- " ah well,we will drive you to that place,you'd be blindfolded ".
What? I hate that kind of things,I might trip over and fall,everyone knows that,I fall on stage so many times!
" Pet I-"
"No Harry,don't worry,we will hold you,won't let you fall"- he said,almost like reading my mind.
" okay,fine ".

They blindfolded me before starting the car,the drive was short and I was totally wondering where are we going.
After a while they stopped the car and opened the door for me.
" okay hazza,now take my hand and step out of the car"- I heard a familiar voice but couldn't recognise the owner.
"umm yeah"- I took the hand and got down.
" Now start walking,come"- he said again and we started moving.
I could hear some screaming,that is quite common for me now, so I didn't even mind and kept walking.
"Now,there are steps,climb"- he instructed me.
I climbed up and was almost about to trip when he caught me

" Easy pal,easy"- he chucked and I stopped dead in my tracks. I understood who that guy is.
"What are you doing here?"- I asked,anger building up in me.
" what are you saying? "- he replied,shock in his shaky voice evident.
" I know it's you "- I told him.
" Listen, not here, not now"- he replied.
"What's wrong guys?"- someone screamed from the bottom of the stairs.
" Nothing, nothing! "- he replied.
I was about to take that blindfold off when he said-
" Not here buddy, wait "- and he pushed me forward.

We reached on top and someone till off the blindfold. I was standing on top of a platform, in what looked like a cafeteria. I looked around and he was gone. It hit me then that we are standing in my school, where we did our first performance. School kids were everywhere, sitting there, waiting for me to say something.
My friends from" White Eskimo " were ready with their instruments, looking at me to begin.
"Hii guys"- I spoke sending people into hysteria.
" So I guess this is a concert then?'' - and girls screamed further. At the corner my teachers stood, smiling at me.
"Oh, Good Morning Ma'am, Sir"- I said waving at them and they nodded with a smile.
" Alright guys, let's begin then "- I said and the music started.
I sang a few songs, the whole school singing and dancing along. After an hour or so I got down from the stage and thanked everyone. We walked around the school to the old classroom and I felt so happy, remembering all the good times.

We got out and walked towards our cars with happiness.
''Where is he?"- I asked.
" He will meet you at the playground "- Mike replied.
I got into the car and drive straight to the ground.
I could see a silhouette which got clearer and clearer as I reached closer.
He stood at a distance, clad in a black leather jacket and skinny jeans, back facing me.
At the sound of the footsteps he froze.
I cleared my throat before saying his name.
" Zayn? ".
