Road Trip

5-Operation Hessica

The whole drive to the boys' car was awkward to say the least. Niall refused to make eye contact with TJ, too embarrassed because all he saw was her beautiful, naked body. It gave him a raging hard on just thinking about it.

But TJ didn't understand what she did wrong. She assured him that it's fine, it was only an accident, so no big deal, however he would barely speak two words to her the whole ride there.

When the group finally arrived, they parked the jeep and stepped out.

"Where's this Tony guy?" Jessica asked, pushing her long hair out of her face.

Harry glanced at his watch. "I dunno. He said ten and it's almost 10:15 right now."

"Well maybe he already fixed it?" Jessica offered.

"Without charging us for it? You Americans may be nice, but you aren't THAT nice." Harry joked. Jessica blushed in embarrassment.

"Let's go take a look at the car and see what's up. Maybe he left a note." TJ suggested. They all nodded their head in agreement and walked towards the car. As they got closer Niall noticed something very out of place.

"Hey, where're the tires?" He asked incredulously.

Harry peered inside the car. "Where the hell is my steering wheel?!" He yelled.

"Um, you're back seat is gone...unless you never had one before.." TJ tentatively said. A strangled cry escaped Harry's pursed lips. TJ and Jessica stared at each other in bewilderment, while Niall wordlessly walked over to Harry and comforted him.

"That guy fucking stole parts from our car! What da hell are we s'pposed to do now?!" Niall frustratedly exclaimed.

"My Hornet...no please no.." Harry mumbled, choking back sobs of despair.

"Hey it s'okay don't worry." Niall said soothingly, hugging Harry.

"Can I be alone with her for a moment please?" Harry sniffled.

"Yeah sure course mate." Niall said and walked towards the girls.

"Why is he so heartbroken of the car?" Jessica asked.

Niall rain his fingers through his hair and sighed. "Well, when he was 16, him and his grandad fixed up the Hornet together. They bonded a lot because of it. 'Specially when his parent were going through the divorce, his grandad was always there. Shortly before Harry's 18th birthday, his grandad died of heart failure. It tore Harry apart. At the funeral, his mum gave him the Hornet and said that his grandad was gonna give it to him." The girls had tears in their eyes.

"Oh Harry.." TJ cried softly, shaking her head. "No wonder why he's so heartbroken."

Turning away from TJ and Niall, Jessica walked over to Harry. He raised his head to look at her, red rimmed eyes watery with tears.

"I'm sorry Harry, I'm so sorry." Jessica quietly said to him. He threw his arms around her and buried his head in her neck and sobbed.

"Shhh Harry, it's alright, I know, you're hurting, but it's gonna be okay." Jessica whispered in his ear, rubbing his back in slow circles and petting his head soothingly.

"Bu-but grandad-" he choked out, in between sobs.

"He's not mad at you Harry, he'll understand, okay? He's always with you. You don't need a car to remind you that. You'll always have his memories." They stood together like that for some time, their arms wrapped around each other.

Eventually, Harry untangled himself from her and stepped away. "Thank you." He said quietly. Jessica gave him a shy smile. He cleared his throat and quickly wiped his eyes. He signaled for Niall and TJ to come on over.
