Make It Work (Harry Styles)

Chapter 33

(A/N: I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE Perrie. And totally ship Zerrie. The fight and stuff was just for the sake of the story.)

Jenna's POV
•••

The boys were just finishing up their last show in Vegas as I was waiting in one of the dressing rooms. As soon as the shows over, we head back to California for the next show. Part of me doesn't want to leave. Vegas this week definitely didn't top last year, but I still had fun. Aside from the rough start with Zayn and the whole Perrie thing, the two days after that had been fun.

Harry and I were able to walk the strip without getting too noticed a couple of times. He went golfing yesterday with Niall, but I was totally ok with it because I convinced Zayn to take me go-karting. We also went to ice cream and dinner before the show. I was glad to see him smiling after what happened. Zayn doesn't deserve to be unhappy over some low-life man that decides to hate.

This morning when we woke up Harry and I decided to do a bit of shopping and then go to the pool. Normally I let him do stuff on his own, but I love Vegas. Shopping here was much better than in Miami because the shops here are all inside hotels, and hotels have their A/C cranked up to a maximum. It was actually really fun. And being at the pool with him wasn't too bad either. No fans bombarded us until we were leaving. I found out later of course it was because they took pictures of us the whole time we swam. I was pretty happy I was facing Harry in most of them though. My wet hair was the only thing they could get picture of. Thank god.

Now that I'm backstage and just listening to the pound of the speakers, I can't help but feel lonely. Gemma flew back to England a couple hours ago, and everyone else is side-stage watching the show. I decide to shoot Lexi a text and ask her to Skype me.

I make my way out to the bus where my laptop is. Harry's probably gonna be confused when I'm not in the dressing room, but I'm so darn bored.

I pull out my mac that Harry bought me for college and log on to Skype.

"Hey!" I say when the familiar face pops up.

"Hey! Dude I miss you!" Lexi says.

"I miss you too. How're things?" I ask.

"Boring as always." She laughed and I realized where she was.

"Lex..why are you in my room?"

"Oh. I've been staying here since the concert. I like it better here." I didn't mind that she was in my room. Lexi and I have always been sharers. "How is it being back on tour so far?"

"Pretty good I guess. We head to San Diego right after this show, and the boys have a show in Chula Vista."

"Oh the boys are on stage now?" Almost on cue the bus door swings open.

"Jenna?!" I hear Harry call.

"I'm here! In the lounge." I press a button on the wall, allowing the mirror door to glide open.

"Why'd you come back here?" He asked pulling me into the hug.

"I'm skyping Lexi. How was the show?"

"Fun. I wore a chicken mask." He laughed and took a seat on the couch. I'm not even gonna ask. "Hiiii!" He sang to the laptop.

"Hey, Harry!" They exchanged a few words as more people piled onto the bus. First Tom and Lux, followed by Lou. Then our bus driver, and then Niall came charging on, his sunburn looking worse than ever.

"Nice arms, man." I said slapping his now farmers tan.

"Shut up about it, woman." He growled. I laughed at the touchy subject. "Who's he talking to?" Niall asked pointing to Harry in the Lounge.

"Lexi. She-"

"Lexi?!" He interrupted me and ran back to push Harry out of the way. "Hey!" He screamed at the laptop.

Harry and I only laughed and left the two of them to catch up, taking a seat in the front. "Someone's smitten."

"I see that." I continued to chuckle.

Niall was nothing but smiles as he talked to Lexi. The two had only met once, but they were at each others sides the whole time and from what I understood, Niall had gotten her number. It was nice to see them so happy. Granted, Niall was always happy, but Lexi is known to have her sad days. This wasn't the case when she was around Niall.

I saw Niall click on my laptop and shut it closed, so Harry and I made our way back into the lounge.

"Sooo...." I poked at his sides.

"So what?" He said calmly, turning on the TV.

"You and Lexi, eh?" I kept poking.

"She's alright." He tried miserably not to smile, a hint of blush appearing on his cheeks.

"Oh bullshit. You like her." His cheeks became full on as red as a tomato.

"Yea I do." He laughed. "Don't tell her though! That's gonna make stuff awkward. Especially when she comes to see us."

"When is she coming to see you...?" I had no idea Lexi would be seeing the boys at all.

"Two days. She's driving down to LA. I offered to just buy her plane tickets but she said she'd rather drive." That's weird...Lexi gets really carsick. Normally she'd take a plane over driving any day.

"Her car can't make it all the way down to LA! It's a piece of crap."

"That's why she's driving yours."

DOUBLE UPDAAATE. As promised.

This is a tad short, but it's because it's mostly a filler. I'll be posting in the morning as long as this gets enough comments (:
