Haylor One Shots

Been Waiting

"If you're lost just look for me, you'll find me in the region of the summer stars"

The time had finally come. 

It was surprising that we had dragged this out until now. I guess we just wanted it to stay for as long as possible. We went for a drive in his car and he kept on scratching his stubbly beard because the tension was so thick. We both knew it was the end for us.

He dropped me off afterwards, kissing my cheek gingerly and shaking his head, before driving away. Adam and I both didn't say we ended it, but we just took it from the silence that it was the end of our story. 

I knew I was also the one who made the decision, but I couldn't help the many tears streaming down my face and my makeup smeared all over my pale complexion. It's just that, I really thought he was the one. I thought that I would actually marry him, but space drifted us apart. I did everything to fit in with his crowd. I bleached my hair, I stocked up on the PDA, I changed my wardrobe. Everything that I could think of.

I hated to be the type of girl who had an ex she still loved and thought about everyday, but I was. It was always back and forth with him. Never a clear path. I went to him for comfort, he found me for reassurance, it was kind of like a negotiation, but I was tired of that.

I called Harry then and there, my shaky hands tapping the numbers in that I had memorised and stared at countless times. It was almost like old times.

Two rings and his beautiful gravelly voice filled my ears. 

"'Lo?" 

"Hi." I breathed out, keeping my breathing in check and trying not to let out a sob or hiccup.

"Taylor, hi." He said after a short while, and I closed my eyes trying to picture what he was doing right now.

"Are you busy?" My voice came out small and vulnerable; just like a little child's and I hated that. I was meant to be strong.

"No, not right now, why are you okay?" He said in a flurry, I could just imagine the crease on his forehead.

Then I remembered. Kendall. He had Kendall.

"Um, j-just, I," I started shakily and shook my head quickly, "Please forget about this, I'm sorry I called, Harry. You take care, okay?" 

I hung up before he had a chance to answer and slid my back down the flowery wallpaper, my sobs muffled from burying my head into my knees. I should have never became this attached to Adam and fooled myself over how much I loved him.

Three fast knocks and I slowly stood up to see who was at the door. I looked through the peep hole and was met with a mane of dark brown locks. A sight I missed all too well. He was twiddling his hands behind him, his gaze was to the ground and he was rocking back and forward on the balls of his heels.

I wiped my eyes furiously and unlocked the door, his concerned look the first thing I notice. He's staring at my face, looking for some type of clue as to what's happened but I stop his wild guesses.

"It's over." I say quietly and sympathy is written all over his face before he engulfs me in a hug, his homely scent taking over my senses as I cry into his chest.

"Shh, it's okay, I've got you." He says, and I feel his big arms curling around me tighter into his embrace.

Nothing was ever awkward with Harry, we always stayed close and we both agreed that we wouldn't let anything get in the way. He always wanted to listen and he was always there. I loved him for that.

Our legs were tangled together and my head was nuzzled into the crook of his neck, as we laid on the sofa, trying to cram our bodies onto the thin strip of cushioning. He hummed a song against my hair and kissed my forehead in between some hums and I felt my heart soften.

"I'm sorry for this." I mumbled slightly, colour in my cheeks.

"No T, it's something I wanted to do. It's all good." He rasped, tangling his fingers into my hair.

After a period of silence and me on the verge of dozing off, I swear I heard him whisper, "I've always been waiting, my love."
