Make It Work (Harry Styles)

Chapter 36

•••
Jenna's POV
•••

After we got our tattoos, Zayn decided to take me shopping. It was mostly for him, being as though I didn't want him to use his money on me. I ended up getting some new nike gear just to shut him up. Two new pro shorts, two sports bras, some yoga pants, and new running shoes. It was way more than I wanted, but Zayn threw alot at me and those were what I took from the pile. He always forces me to get things I don't need.

Right now, Zayn and I are sitting on the couch watching Project X in the living room of the mansion. I still haven't heard from Harry, but it's been four hours so I'm sure he'll call soon. Niall and Lexi left for a dinner date about twenty minutes ago (called that one), so they probably won't be back for awhile.

"My parents would kill me. Oh my gosh." I said as the party in the movie got out of control.

"Could you imagine?! My mum would disown me."

"Right?!"

We were all into the movie when I heard the front door slam shut. Louis and Eleanor walked in all smiles, saying a quiet hello as they head to their room. Shortly after them, the front door had shut again, Liam walking in with his parents and Andy at his side. He showed them to their rooms before taking a seat next to me on the couch.

"Where's Harold?" He said putting and arm around me.

"I honestly have no idea. He went to see management four hours ago."

"Four hours?! Yikes...that doesn't sound good." Liam said and had the same look of worry that the other boys did. Why did they all look so worried? Harry didn't look worried when he left? I mean, he did...but he was only worried I was gonna be alone while he was gone. So what's wrong with everyone else?

Just as I was about to get lost in my thoughts, I heard the door yet again. My heart began to race with hope, and pounded even harder when Harry appeared through the entryway. I sat up on the couch and greeted him with the biggest smile ever, totally excited that he's home, but I didn't even get a glance back. He walked right past all of us and went to the room that we share.

I look to Zayn and Liam, but they're just as puzzled as I am. I stand up and hesitantly go to the room.

".....babe?" I ask as I poke my head in.

"Oh, hey baby." He smiles and heads toward me. I open the door and fully walk in. He pulls me into a tight hug, and then gives me a kiss.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah why do you ask?" He grins back at me.

"Well...you were gone for four hours. And you totally just walked past me in the living room...."

"Did I? Sorry, babe. I didn't see you."

"And? Management? What was that about?"

"Just a publicity thing. Nothing to worry about." He said kissing my cheek. I was going to push the issue further, but he cut me off. "A couple of the lads are coming over to hang. You gonna join?"

"Who?"

"Just Ed, Gary, and Cal I think."

"I haven't seen Ed in so long! Yay I'm excited."

"Hey, dude." I said greeting Cal as he walked through the door.

"Hello! Jenna you look lovely." He said pulling me into a hug.

"I'm wearing yoga pants and a sweatshirt, Cal..."

"I didn't mean the outfit, love. Just you. Your face." He said completely covering my face with his hand. "Just lovely." I laughed as he pulled his hand off.
