Chapter 5: Day Five
Harry’s POV
I sat on the couch with Tara in my lap. She had cried herself to sleep in my arms last night and she was still asleep. I stroked her hair softly and rocked her gently. “My sleepy baby…..” Liam looked at me and asked, “Do you want me to watch her, Harry? You’re very tired.” I shook my head. “No. I’ll just-“ Liam argued, “You go to bed, Hazza. I’ll watch her.” I nodded and placed Tara in Liam’s lap and walked into my room. I flopped onto my bed and fell right to sleep.
-Harry’s Dream-
I was standing at a white house. I was with Tara. She walked into the bathroom, me following her. She said to me, “Harry… I have some news.” I chuckled, “Good or bad?” She smiled and took my hand. She put something in it and when I opened my hand, my eyes grew wide. It was a pregnancy test. And the result was positive. “W-w-w-w-we’re pregnant?!” Tara nodded. “A boy or girl?” She laughed, “Harry! I’m only a few weeks pregnant, not 5 months.” I cried, holding her in my arms. “I promise I’ll be a good daddy. I want the best for our child, for us. I promise I won’t be like your dad.”
-End Harry’s Dream-
My eyes fluttered open. I looked around my room. Then I noticed Tara sitting next to me, softly stroking my curls. “I didn’t know you talked in your sleep, Harry.” I blushed. “Did you hear what I said?” “Yeah, I did,” she replied, “But it was sweet. If I ever had a kid, then I would want their dad to be you.” I smiled. I sat up and kissed her softly. “If there was anyone I’d want to have a kid with, it’d be you, Tara. You are the love of my life.” She smiled. “Next time I cry myself to sleep, make sure you let Louis watch me. Liam drooled on me after he went to sleep.”
Tara and I sat at the table, her on my lap. Louis joked, “Why is it every time I see you two, Tara is on your lap, Harry!” I shrugged. “Maybe cause your jealous of me, Lou. You might find a girl who will sit in your lap 24/7.” He shook his head and I laughed.
Tara’s POV
I looked at Louis. “Hey, Boobear,” I said, “When’s the first concert?” He looked at me and replied, “In L.A.” I suddenly had an idea. “My cousin, Bella, lives in L.A. She’s kinda like you, Louis. You two would be a perfect couple.” Louis blushed. “I-i-i-I don’t know, Tara. Maybe it’s not a great idea.” “Well, you haven’t met Bella yet.” “Fine. Well, actually, we’re in L.A now. We’ve been driving all night.” I gasped. “I have to text Caroline!!!!” I grabbed my phone and sent Caroline:
To: Care-Bear

XOX
Bear
From: Care-Bear
Oh… well, Abby was worried. She thought you had the flu.
To: Care-Bear

I looked up at Harry, who had his head on my shoulder. “What’s wrong, babe?” He looked into my eyes, his green orbs gorgeous. “Nothing. Just thinking.” I smiled and pecked his nose. “Okay. If you say so.”
The bus stopped behind a large arena. “Wow,” I said. Harry pulled me into his side and smiled. “This is your treat. You get to be backstage and watch us. And after every song, we come backstage for a 5 minute break. These things last at least 4 ½ hours.” I shrugged. “I don’t care. I just want to see my baby on stage.” He smiled and kissed me softly. Suddenly there was a flash. “Shit,” Harry said, “Paparazzi.” He dragged me backstage to get away from the flashing cameras.
The first thing I recognized backstage was the lady with golden blonde hair. “Bella!!!!” My cousin turned around and beamed, “Tara!” We hugged each other and I said, “You will. Not. Believe. Who I’m with right now.” “Who?” “One Direction!” “For real?” “YES!” “How?” she asked. “They asked me if I wanted to go on tour with them. I had to accept cause well…. I’m dating Harry Styles.” “Really?!” “YES!” Harry came behind me and kissed my neck. “I found you.” I giggled. “Harry, meet Bella, my cousin. Bella, meet my boyfriend, Harry.” Harry shook hands with Bella and smiled. “You were mentioned at dinner earlier,” he laughed. Bella giggled and looked around. “Is Louis here?” she asked me. “What do you think? If Harry’s here, then Louis MUST be here. Harry, can you find Louis for me, please, baby?” He kissed me and said, “I’ll be back.” I looked at Bella. “Isn’t he sweet?” I said. She nodded and smiled. “You’re lucky, Tara. Harry is the complete opposite of you, yet you two act exactly like each other.” I shrugged.
Louis’ POV
Harry yelled, “BOOBEAR!” I looked at him. “What?” He said, “Tara was looking for you. She found her cousin.” “Bella?” “Yeah, her.” Harry dragged me to where Tara and a girl with golden blonde hair were standing. Tara saw me and waved. “Louis, meet Bella. Bella, meet Louis.” I shook Bella’s hand and kissed her knuckles. Bella smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, Bella.” She said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Louis.” She turned to Tara and joked, “Hey, Bear. What is the Spanish name for a mushroom?” Tara shrugged. “Champinones. They’re food for CHAMPIONS.” I laughed. “Wow. That was funny,” I said. “Thanks. I don’t try, but I always fool Tara with Spanish jokes.” I winked at her.
Paul came towards us. “Boys, you need to get ready. The show’s about to start.”
Harry’s POV
I asked, “Paul, can Tara come in my dressing room? Please?” I gave him my best puppy dog eyes. “Fine, but she can’t go onstage with you.” I smiled and dragged her with me into my dressing room. I sat on the couch and patted my lap for her to sit. Tara smiled. “Is there a reason for us to be in here?” I smiled flirtatiously. “Maybe…” I wiggled my eyebrows at her. She pressed her forehead to mine, and kissed me. I bit her lower lip gingerly, softly sucking on it. She opened her mouth in a gasp and I slithered my tongue into her mouth.
I panted as Tara lay on top of me. Her hair was all over the place and she was breathing heavily. “Wow…. Harry…” she slurred. I rubbed her back and said, “That was fun.” Tara got off of me and said, “You need to get ready, Harry. I don’t care if you’re sweaty. That’s your fault.”
I got dressed quickly walked out backstage, Tara following close behind. Louis, Liam, Niall, and Zayn were standing with Bella, laughing and chatting. “There’s Tara! And Harry…?” the boys said. I looked at them. “What?” I asked. Louis teased, “You two were doing naughty things in your dressing room, weren’t you, Haz?” I blushed and said, quickly, “C’mon, guys, we’ve got a concert to do.”
After we performed What Makes You Beautiful, I said into my mic, “Hello, our beautiful fans. I have an amazing announcement to make: I have a girlfriend. Her name’s Tara, and please, don’t hate on her. I love her more than she knows and I want her to be happy. This song is for her: This is They Don’t Know About Us. I met her while she was singing this song.”
“People say we shouldn’t be together. Too young, to know about forever. But I say, they don’t know, what they’re talk talk talking about. ‘Cause this love is only getting stronger, and so I don’t wanna wait any longer. I just wanna tell the world that you’re mine, girl.”
“They don’t know about the things we do. They don’t know about the ‘I love you’s. But I betcha if they only knew, they’d be jealous of us. They don’t know about the up all nights. They don’t I’ve waited all my life. For a love that feels this right. Baby, they don’t know about, they don’t about us.”
I ran backstage after we performed our last song, Last First Kiss. Tara was crying really hard. “Harry!” I hugged her tightly. “I love you, Tara. Always remember that. Never doubt if I love you or not, ‘cause I always will. You and I are meant to be together. I know it. Don’t ever regret meeting me. ‘Cause I don’t regret ever saying that you were beautiful.” I wiped away her tears and then kissed her lips softly. Tara wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me back. “I love you, too, Harry.”
I smiled and joked, “I figured.”
