Lost

chapter 8: the call

"Louis I'm freaking out!" 

"Calm down mate! You can do it!" 

I am currently sitting in the Toronto airport, Louis' laptop sitting on my lap, 5 minutes away from Skyping Emma's parents to let her come on tour. To say I'm stressed is a bit of an understatement. 

I take a deep breath as the laptop rings. "You have this Harry, if they don't see how much you care about her they are blind." 

I nodded as Louis left the room and I clicked accept. 

On my computer screen is Emma, sitting behind two middle aged people. The woman looked like Emma, with brown eyes and dark hair and the man had thinning blonde hair and bright blue eyes that look like they want to lazer my head off. 

"Mr. and Mrs. Stuart," I smiled, "How are you?"

"Fine, thank you Harry." Mrs. Stuart said. 

"So you want to take Emma on tour?" Mr. Stuart asked. 

"Yes sir. I think it would be amazing for her to see the world and it would be all under control and supervised. We have the best security team there is."

"And what makes you think you know more about what she needs than us?" 

"I don't." I said, refusing to look away from Mr. Stuart's blazing eyes, "But I think she does better than anyone. She told me how much she wants it." 

"I suppose." Mr. Stuart said. 

"She can go." Mrs. Stuart smiled. "But we will discuss this later, July isn't for another two months." 

"Of course. Thank you so much!" 

"Emma can you go grab me a pen and paper?" Mrs. Stuart asked. Emma looked weary about leaving me alone with her parents but left. "Harry I can see how much you care about our daughter. Don't hurt her." 

"Don't worry, I won't." I said as Emma walked back into the room. I gave Mr. and Mrs. Stuart my contact information and my manager's. 

I have never seen Emma smile so much. It is beautiful. Mr. and Mrs. Stuart left and Emma started doing a happy dance. 

She blushed when she saw me laughing, "I'm getting weird, I'm sorry!" 

"Are you normally like this?" I asked, still laughing. 

"Only when I get to know people." she blushed. "You should see me around Ally and Elllie." 

"I need to meet them!" I said. 

"Why?" 

"I don't know, you talk about them a lot and Ellie is the whole reason we know each other!" 

She smiled shyly. "Maybe we can Skype or something?" she shrugged. 

"Yeah! And I can meet them at your graduation!" 

"You are coming to grad?" she asked, looking shocked. 

"Yeah, why wouldn't I? I want to see you graduate!" 

"Why would you want to do that?" she asked blushing. 

"Because I want to see you graduate and get all dressed up for prom! I want to see you happy." 

"I'm not going to prom." 

"What why?" why woulnd't she want to go? I thought that was everyones big night! 

"I have no one to go with, and I'm not all that popular either." 

"I'll go with you." I blurted out before thinking. I would love to go to prom with Emma but I think that might have been a little early. Especially with her not seeing how every guy likes her and how i like her. 

"Why would you want to go with me?" 

"Because!" Good job Harry, what a shitty response.

"Sure." she blushed, "I'll go to prom. But no hitting on my friends!" she laughed. Oh Emma, if only you new I was hitting on you right now!

"I'll try not to!" I winked. 

"Well I better get some sleep. I'll text you tomorrow!" 

"Ok, good night love." 

 I tossed and turned that night, my mind on prom. He want to go? With me? Me of all people! 

I closed my eyes, a small tear falling from my eye. As friends. Just as friends. He doesn't like me that way and he never will. If I get my hopes up I will end up heart broken. 

This is going to be a long two months.

A/N:
