The Promise

Chapter 21

-Melody-

"Hey Mel, your Cosmo came in the mail," Jesy said. Finally. I got up off the couch, and walked over to where she was standing. "Oh no."

"What? What's wrong Jesy?" I took the magazine out of her hands, and looked at the page she saw. I was too shocked to speak.

TEENAGE HEARTTHROB HARRY STYLES WITH LYNN GARRISON

I read the article, and sank to the floor. I tore up the magazine, and threw the pieces across the room. I dropped my head in my hands, and sobbed. Jesy sat down next to me, and hugged me tightly until I stopped.

"I think you should talk to him," she said.

"Okay." I sniffled, and went into my room. I grabbed my car keys, and my phone. "I'll be back soon."

"Take your time." I drove to the house they were living in, and parked across the street. I slowly walked up the path to the door, and thought about what I would say. I knocked, and Liam answered.

"Melody!" I shushed him, and asked if Harry was here. "He's here. He's really upset right now. Did you come to talk to him?"

"Yeah. Jesy told me I should. Is he in his room?" He nodded, and stepped aside so I could enter. I walked to the back where Harry's room is, and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in," he grumbled. I opened the door, and saw him. He looked broken, and very upset.

"Hi Harry."

"Melody. I am so, so sorry! I just wanted to dance with her, I never meant for anything like that to happen!"

"I know, I know, it's fine. Haz, I was a little hurt, but I was never angry at you."

"You weren't mad?"

"No. I knew you wouldn't try to hurt me like that after you told me you loved me." He looked a little amazed at how forgiving I was.

"Thanks Melody." I sat down on the foot of his bed, and he sat up. "I thought you would be so angry. I thought you'd never want to see me again. What I did was completely unforgivable, and I should've sent her awa-" I interrupted him with my lips on his. I didn't realize until now how much I really love this boy. He rubbed circles on my jawline, and I tangled my fingers in his curls. Before things got too heated, I pulled away from him. He looked dazzled by my action.

"You shouldn't ramble," I giggled. The rest of the day was spent with Harry. Right before I left, he asked me a question.

"So, does this mean you love me again?"

"I guess it does. Bye Harold." Liam gave me a look when I stepped into the living room.

"So, how'd it go?"

"We're cool," I giggled. He laughed, and gave me a hug.

"Good. I'll see you on TV." I waved, and drove quickly back to the X-Factor building. I got in just in time for makeup and doing my hair. I curled it this time, instead of straightening it, and put on very little makeup. This would be our last performance on the X-Factor. When we were announced, we took the stage with confidence.

***

When we ran off the stage, we were anxious to hear the results. When Simon announced third place, we began biting our nails. Well, I did.

"In second place...Barnyard Party. Which leaves 'Rhythmix' as the winner! Congratulations ladies!" We all shrieked, and ran out to collect the prize. We get a contract with Syco, and a sum of money. I got my wish. I got what I wanted. Maybe Harry was right. Maybe I should start believing in magic. It seems that magic has gotten me what I want. Maybe magic is the key. Or, pure talent. I'm gonna go with magic.

***************************
