Back To the Studio
Zayn’s POV
We spent most of the day working on one song and Emmaline sulked on the couch the entire time. She kept begging Louis and Harry to let her go out to get some fresh air. I could tell that’s not what she really wanted. She just wanted them to let her out so could call a cab to take her anywhere but here. Right now all the guys were in the sound booth and due to the position of the couch, none of us could see Emmaline. I walked out of the booth after about a half hour of recording and she was nowhere to be seen. “Harry! She’s not here!” I yelled for him but Niall was the first one out. He didn’t even stop to look around before running out of the building.
Emmaline’s POV
Thank god I was finally able to get out of there. I didn’t want to go back home to where they would look first so had come to the park instead. I sat on the swing and rocked myself back and forth slowly contemplating how mad Harry would be when he found me. Whatever. I enjoyed the silence for about an hour before I heard someone walk up and sit on the swing beside me.
“Harry, I don’t want to hear it.” I said without looking up.
“Who’s Harry?” A unfamiliar British voice questioned. I looked up see a guy that was about my age sitting on the swing next to me.
“Oh my god. I’m sorry! I thought you were someone else. That’s so embarrassing!” I apologized. He laughed an intoxicating laugh and held out his hand.
“No problem. I’’m Ryan.” He said as I took his hand and shook it awkwardly. “Emmaline.” I responded and smiled back at him. He was really cute and charming.
Niall’s POV
She wasn’t at home so I went to the park. I remember her mentioning how much she loved parks. I pulled up in front of the park and saw her sitting on the swings with some guy laughing. I got out of the car quickly and stormed up to her. She didn’t notice me at first until I cleared my throat.
“Niall. What are you doing here?” She asked surprised that I had come looking for her.
“You ran off. Come on we have to go, the guys don’t know where you are.”
“No.” She said stubbornly.
“Damn it Emmaline! Don’t pull this now!”
“Dude she said no. Just let it go, it’s not like she’s yours or anything.” The guy said standing up to defend her.
“You’re such an idiot. She’s my girlfriend.” Untrue but I just wanted him to back off of her.
“Niall we aren’t together anymore.” She said standing up and walking to my car. Good.
“Wait! I didn’t get your number.” Bastard. She ran back and wrote her number on his hand before we left to go back to the studio.
“I don’t like him.” I told her bluntly.
“Too bad.” She shot back.
Emmaline’s POV
Olivia had to fly back out to California to see her brother. He had just finished his mission that Mormons go on and she hadn’t seen him in two full years. So now Harry is staying in her room while she away and he’s looking after me. It’s been almost a month since I tried to kill myself but Harry still doesn’t trust me. Tonight I was going to hang out with Ryan again. We hang out pretty often and he’s a really good friend but tonight we were going on our first date and I was really nervous. It’s also really nice going out with him because we don’t have paparazzi following us everywhere. I heard a knock at the door and ran to get it.
