*Tara's POV*
As soon as I realised it was Natalie, I ran. I left Nathan behind and ran after my best friend. I could hear footsteps behind me and that's when I noticed Tom following me. Neither one of us spoke as we ran towards the exit. I could tell Tom was thinking the same as me, we both just wanted Natalie back.
We exited the building just in time to see the One Direction boys and their girls heading into the back of a limousine. Natalie was last in as Harry climbed in before.
Before she could take a step into the limo, Tom had grabbed her wrist and tugged her slowly backwards. She turned around, surprised, before relaxing when she noticed me and Tom. You could tell she was different than when she left. Even though she was pregnant you could tell she was thinner. She looked terrible. She seemed tired and drained, and not like the best friend I love. No one said anything, and you could see Harry sticking his head out of the window. After a while, Natalie was going to say something, but Harry cut her off,
"COME ON NATALIE, SERIOUSLY?! FLIRTING WITH TOM FROM THE WANTED, YOU DONT STAND A CHANCE, YOU ARE VERY LUCKY I'M GETTING PAID FOR DATING YOU BECAUSE I'M SURPRISED ANYONE WOULD WANT TO HAVE AND LOVE YOU, I MEAN LOOK AT YOU!"
Tom was raging. You could tell Natalie was used to this, but why? how? The Natalie I know is strong, wouldn't put up with his shit, but this Natalie, she was different, this Natalie looked scared almost? She seemed to edge closer towards Tom as Harry came nearer. I guess Harry got the wrong impression, as he tried to grab Natalie, so Tom jumped at him. Curse words were said and punches were thrown. The paps were loving it and we did nothing to stop them, we knew Harry deserved what Tom did to him. I noticed out of the corner of my eye, Natalie walking over to me. I turned to face her and we both broke out into a smile, only then did I truly realise how much i'd missed her. and how much I needed her with me. She was just about to hug me, when she was picked up by the waist and carried over Louis shoulder. She was kicking and screaming and that's when I knew she wasn't happy, and something was wrong, Louis shouldn't be able to pick her up because she is pregnant, and why was she screaming?
*Natalie's POV*
As soon as we got back to the hotel, I ran into mine and Harry's room and cried, I'd seen Tara, my best friend, my chummy. and I just stood there. I didn't expect her to know it was me, I had to change my image because of management, I have to change my attitude towards everything that happened. And seeing Tara and Tom just made everything seem ok again. I felt happy and I blew it.
Soon after Harry, walked in and seemed calm at first, but as soon as I walked into the bathroom, he flipped. and I mean flipped. He went ape shit, all because he has a few bruises from Tom. Tom did a good job, im surprised he can still see if im honest.
-a few hours later-
Harry is asleep after telling me to stay by his side, and keep the act going, he always has a cover story apparently, blames it all on Tom of course. I cant take it anymore, I have to find Tara and fast. I don't even know where she is staying, fuck! I opened the door quietly, before walking out and shutting it behind me. I danced momentarily before stalking the hallways and corridors for anything, that could determine if the boys and Tara were staying here. So far I've climbed up several flights of stairs, searched about 20 corridors and nothing. I decided to take a walk outside, The hotel we are at is pretty inclusive, so no chance of being mobbed. I walked outside to already see a few people smoking. I could see Max, Tom and Nath standing outside. I knew Nath would be staying with Tara after what I noticed at the reward show, so I walked up behind him and somehow removed his room card from his pocket. I shot Tom a quick smile as he walked past, and he stopped before running at me and hugging me to death literally! Tom gave me a questioning look, I simply pointed to Nath and showed Tom the room card. He gave me a reassuring thumbs up before walking towards the boys.
I was soon at the door and nervous as hell, What if he rejects me? what if she hugs me and tells me its all ok? I knew I had to walk in, so I did. I didn't say anything and I couldn't see where she was as the light were turned off. I was just about to walk away when I heard a voice,
"Thank god you are back Nath, I've been phoning up every hotel, she isn't at any of them, I've phoned her phone, I've text her like a million times. We have to keep looking Nath, I need to find her!"
I chuckled to myself at her efforts before saying,
"I guess you didn't look far enough Chummy!"
The light was suddenly turned on, and I noticed Tara, sat on the floor, surrounded by tissues and phone books. She looked at me for a few seconds before sprinting towards me, knocking us both to the floor near the door. She began crying, therefore I did to. By the end we were both crying and hugging each other.
Wow. I've really missed that girl.
