It's been four days since I saw Harry and all I can think about is what if? What if I never moved? Would he have come back to me? Would I have forgiven him? Would I be touring the world with him? What if his girlfriend was non-existent? Would I have made a different decision all together? What if I just agreed to meet up with him after all this time? Would it be as if we were never apart?
As I get ready for work I try to shake these thoughts out of my head. What's done is done, and whatever is meant to be will be. I grab my bag and keys off of my study table and head off. Driving to work, I decide to listen to the radio. I haven't listened to it much and I almost forget why until I turn it on and their song is half way through playing. I sigh in defeat and listen to it. I've tried to avoid them for too long, and it's been difficult because their faces and music seem to be everywhere.
As I reach Crown and head to the staff parking, I find it to be almost full. I pull into a spot and jump out of my car, and as I walk to the entrance I hear a familiar voice.
“Do you honestly think this is going to work?” I look around and see Niall walking with Harry, both dressed in ridiculous disguises.
“Trust me Niall, its our only way out of here,” Harry explains as he unlocks the car. He looks up and notices me and flashes his award winning smile.
“Your disguises are horrible,” I shout at them from across the parking lot and smile back.
“I told you!” Niall looks at Harry and shakes his head.
“They'll do the job,” Harry shouts back at me and I laugh and walk towards the door.
“Indie wait!” he shouts from behind me. He needs to stop doing that. I turn around and see him jogging towards me.
“I haven't seen you around the past few days,” he points out as he stops in front of me.
“I haven't had work the past couple of days so there's nothing here for me to be around,” I reply and see his face change to slight disappointment.
“Oh,” is all he says and I feel a little guilty. I probably should give him a little bit of a chance after two years.
“I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I'm just a busy person,” I smile at him, hoping it makes me seem like less of a bitch.
“Yeah, no I completely understand. I just thought I'd see you around,” he gives me a smile and I feel a lot less guilty.
“You probably will, I'm working a lot this week.” This conversation thing with Harry isn't so bad.
The horn of a car beeps and we both jolt back a little from surprise. Niall is waiting for Harry in the car and he must be in a rush.
“You better get back to him before he runs you over or something,” I say and we both laugh in unison.
“Yeah I think you're right. See you around Indie,” he smiles and gives me a wave before running back to the car.
As I walk through the building I find less of a crowd than there was on Sunday. Some girls are in their school uniforms, which means they're probably skipping school to try and find One Direction. I stay quiet about Harry and Niall's disguise and leave their fans to walk frantically through the food court on their search.
By the time I get to work it's twelve fourty-five. My shift starts in 15 minutes. I head to some of the surrounding stores and do some window shopping. As soon as I walk into Guess, the girl with the brown hair that I saw the other day notices me.
“Indianna, right?” she says, catching my attention.
“Uh, yeah. Sorry I didn't get your name the other day,” I smile at her.
“I'm Natalie. I'm their drummers girlfriend,” she smiles back as she picks up a pair of shoes and looks at the price, before putting it back on the stand.
“Wow, some of this stuff is really over-priced,” she giggles as she walks to the table next to it.
“I know, tell me about it!” I laugh along. She seems nice for the moment.
“So what are you doing here?” Natalie asks.
“I have work in about five minutes just next door.”
“Oh okay, well you better get going then,” she laughs again.
“Yeah I guess I better. Nice chatting with you,” I say as I head for the door.
“Before you go,” she holds my arm and I turn round, “we're all going for some drinks later on to one of the bars here, at about eight thirty. You should come,” she smiles and lets go of my arm.
“Um,” I don't know if I should. She seems like a nice girl, but she doesn't know about my history with Harry and it might be a little awkward for me to just show up.
“I'll be there with Jess, and Harry's sister Gemma so we don't have to hang out with the boys for too long,” she tries to convince me.
“Well, I finish work at nine so if I'm not too tired I might come past,” I respond. I most likely won't be going but I don't want to sound rude.
“Okay, well I'll grab your number and text you the place we end up choosing in case you do?”
“Uh, yeah sure.”
I give her my number and walk back to work. She seems like a nice girl, but I don't know if going is a good idea. Jess, Harry's girlfriend, didn't seem to like me much when I met her and the thought of seeing his sister again after all this time made me nervous. On top of that, all the boys are going to be there and the possible awkward tension isn't something I'd like to be the cause of.
I brush off the idea and clock into work. I'll decide if I'm going to go for drink or not later.
Sorry this chapter is short, I haven't had much free time these past few days. I promise the next one will be extra long :) xxx
