Good Enough

Chapter 36: Falling for You

Eve POV

I look from where I am sitting and see Harry sitting beside me trembling. I hold his hand to comfort him and in an instant, he calms down. Harry looks out the window and says

"Why did I agree to this skydiving stunt with you Eve?" Harry asks, his voice still trembling.

"You love me." I state simply as if it were no big deal, when in fact It was a huge deal for me. Harry smiles at my statement.

"You love me too." He reminds me as if I had forgotten the events of yesterday.

"It's also a cool way to start off our performance today and awesome." Today, we had been booked to play for Ellen. I start to play with some of Harry's curly locks. Harry laughs at my actions and gives me his signature cheeky wink. It seems as if he has calmed down again.

"Eve and Harry, we have just reached the altitude of 10 000 feet. Time to jump." Says the pilot.

They briefed us on the protocol and how we were to inflate the parachute as soon as we saw the ground. I look to see Harry in his seat terrified. His calm attitude once more dissolved and in it's place was a terrified little boy. His face looked pale and his hand was sweating. The pilot opens the door and gestures for us to jump. I look down and see the ground far from me. Harry seems like he wouldn't budge from his seat. An idea of how to get him to jump places itself in my head. I say my prayers I stand up, and hold his face and kiss him passionately as if I am never to see him again.

"Goodbye." I say and with that I jump out of the plane fearlessly, despite the frantic thoughts in my head against my fearlessness. As I excepted, Harry's overprotective mode kicks in. He dives off the plane and hurdles towards me. Making my plan a success. Although I was falling, I couldn't help but notice that Harry sounded like a very scared girl compared to me, enjoying every single moment of this while being extremely terrified. Within seconds, Harry is right in front of me holding my hands, afraid to let go. His green eyes looked at me furiously.

"Don't you dare do that again Eve! You scared the crap out of me! Never do that again. Or there will be consequences." Harry scolded me similar to the way a parent scolds their child.

Although it seemed like he was hiding it, fear was very evident in his voice,He was so afraid for me he seems to forget the fact that he is falling from 10 000 feet, and he's afraid of heights! I pull him closer to me via our joined hands and kiss him in mid air. The photographer, who was to take a commemorative photo of us and a picture for the show took the picture now. I already heard the fans screaming. The kiss was passionate just like the previous one, but now Harry returned the passion. We broke the kiss at the same time, and Harry gave me a cheeky look and said

"I'm falling for you Eve!"

I laugh at his comment and see a flash of lights coming from below us. Probably lights coming from the stage. Sure enough, I see the stage come into view and pull the trigger that my parachute was to be activated by.

Nothing.

I pull it frantically, while still holding on to Harry's hand. Harry takes note of my broken parachute and pulls me into his arms carrying me bridal style for what seems to be the 9 millionth time in my life. He holds on to me firmly and pulls the trigger for his working parachute.

We come into full view with the stage and land right on target. Harry puts me down and we both stand behind our mic stands, preforming what we rehearsed.

Showtime.

Harry and I start singing but I can't help but notice someone in the audience. Out of the multitude of people in the crowd I see a blonde boy, looking directly at me. That can't be Niall. The boy holds up a large sign with the words

"I love you Eve"

It can't be. I look away from the sign and look at Harry. For the rest of the show my attention was solely on Harry.

I don't need him anymore.

I don't care about Niall.
