It's Time

Chapter 7

Harry's POV

I looked in the usual room where Lara and the rest of the girls perform but there was no sign of them anywhere. 'maybe she is in the cafeteria? I quickly walked to where the cafeteria was located. There are more people in here than the other day when Lara and I had breakfast. I glanced around the room to see a familiar face sitting at a table by herself, Hannah, Lara's bandmate.

"Hey Hannah" I said with a smile as I walked over to her and took a seat in front of her.

"Oh hey Harry" Hannah said friendly as she looked up from her phone and placed it face down on the table.

"What's up?" Hannah asked

"Well I'm just looking for Lara. Do you know where she might be?" I asked curiously trying not to give away anything.

"Oh umm I think she might be in our dressing room" Hannah said a smile upon her face.

"Okay cool! thanks heaps" I said politely and got up from the table she nodded and re focused on her phone. I began to walk away to go find Lara.

"Oh and Harry don't hurt her she is precious" Hannah said seriously

"I won't" I replied just as serious as her. I also wondered what Hannah meant, was there something that Lara was hiding? I walked out of the busy eating area to go find Lara. The hallways were empty, I looked at each doorway to find the sign that read 'Girl Class'.

'Ah here it is!' I stopped in my path. I took a deep breathe and knocked I waited anxiously for the door to open.

Lara's POV

I was alone in our dressing sprawled across the small 2-seater couch playing on my phone. I hummed along to my favourite song Midnight Memories as a scrolled through my twitter newsfeed trying to pass some time.

*knock knock*

"COME IN!" I shouted so the person on the other side of the door could here me, I continued to play on my phone. The door opened slowly, Harry stood in the door way. His hair perfectly styled and his plump pink lip pouted slightly.

'No Lara! You can't think like that!' I mentally slapped myself.

"Hey" Harry said his dimples clearly showing.

"Hey" I said and looked down at my phone trying not to show any emotion.

"Can I come in?" Harry asked nervously. 'why was he nervous?'

"Yeah I guess" I said quite rudely continuing scrolling through my phone. Harry shut the door and awkwardly walked in taking a seat on the counter. I feel bad for being rude to Harry but I don't need the pressure of liking someone right now.

"How was rehearsal?" Harry asked breaking the silence.

"Fine" I coldly responded continuing to look down at my phone.

"Did I do something to make you angry or upset?" Harry asked with his strong British accent. Now I feel really bad.

"No" I simply replied giving Harry a quick glance before I went back to typing on my phone.

"Okay" Harry said quietly the room filled with a awkward silence once again. I tucked a stray piece of blonde hair behind my ear and looked over at Harry, he is looking down twiddling his fingers. I quickly looked back down when Harry cleared his throat signalling that he was about to speak.

"Lara?" I looked up from my phone at the curly haired boy his green eyes taking my breath away.

"Yeah"

"Would you like to go on a date with me?" Harry asked partially nervous. I was in shock did the Harry Styles just ask me out on a date? I so badly want to say yes and just run into his arms but I can't I just cant.

"I can't I'm sorry Harry" I replied guilt filling my voice. I watch his smile disappear and his green eyes darken.

"No, no it's fine" Harry responded sadly he pushed some curls away from his face. He stood up slowly gave me a weak smile and walked out of the dressing room leaving me all alone. 'What have I done?' I have hurt Harry's feelings, I could have at least explained to him why I couldn't go out with him. I chucked my phone on the couch and put my head in my hands. Trying to contemplate how I would face Harry ever again.
