I Hate You, Don't Leave Me (Harry Styles FanFic)

Rehearsal

It's been a week since I've passed out at Louis house. After getting an actual doctor's appointment, they diagnosed me with same thing Toby and Nat did. Anxiety and stress. So now I have magnesium pills to help when I'm panicked and believe me I've needed them. The past week has been filled with intense stage rehearsals, vocal checks, and radio show appearances for my single 'Promise'. I was able to beef up my EP from before and released it also.
Tomorrow is the big day, though, the start of my career, of the tour. Just thinking about it gives me a rush. I get up and dress knowing that it's my last rehearsal before the show. I walk into the kitchen and find Louis at the counter eating a bowl of Cheerios.
"Really Lou? Cheerios? Nobody likes Cheerios." I say starting to brew a pot of coffee.
"Hey my flat, my food." He says shoveling it into his mouth.
I've been bouncing between flats for the past week not wanting to go to mine. I've tried going back but I just ended up hyper ventilating. "Hey Lou, what time are rehearsals?" I say going through his cabinets looking for food.
He finishes the bowl, milk mustache on his face. "Ten sharp." He quickly stands running over to the sink shoving the bowl in.
I see him rushing and I look at the clock, 9:39. "Shit." I say, "What about my coffee?"
By now he's at the door putting a pair of Toms on. "I'll buy you Starbucks, we need to go," Keys in hand standing by the door. I unplug the coffee machine and follow him out the door.

We rush through the underground halls of the O2 Arena trying to find the stage. I down my cup of coffee and throw it into a bin while running after Louis.
"I'm pretty sure we were supposed to go down that hall!" I yell to Louis ahead of me.
"No, no this way!" He says taking a right. I follow him but then he stops dead in his tracks. I run into him almost falling to the ground, but I catch myself.
"Louis the..." I start but he hops into the parked golf cart.
"Lets ride." He says pulling the shades from his hoodie, putting them on.
"Oh goodness." I say getting in after him.
We drive around the arena for some time until we find the hallway that leads to the stage. We hear the echo of mics and the percussion of the drums.
The golf cart skids as we speed in we hop out and run up onto the stage. "Where are they?" I ask. I spin around in one spot, looking.
"Back stage going over wardrobe." Josh says messing with his drums.
Louis and I sprint off the stage heading past the stage hands. We dive into the first room we hear noise come from. "We are here, we are here." Louis says sliding off his shades.
"Oh don't worry, we are just...oh..." Liam starts his back turned as he sees me in the room also.
"What do you...oh..." I cover my eyes realizing the boys are half naked, all except for their boxers and briefs. I take that back definitely briefs, just briefs. "I'm going to uh, go next door." I say backing out the room.
I walk into the next room and find Lou Tisdale inside sitting in the chair in front of the mirror. She sees me enter and stands up and smiles. "Ello I'm Lou Tisdale, you must be Kendall." She meets me halfway across the room and gives me a hug. "I've heard your new single, love it."
I smile at her, "Thank you."
"We have sometime before the boys come in here, can we play with your hair?" She says looking at it. "It's so long and pretty."
"Um, yeah sure." I say undoing it from my ponytail. I shake it out and it spills over my shoulders and down my back.
"Wow, quite longer than I thought." She says running her fingers through it. "Soft too."
"Thank you." I say shrugging, not used to the compliments.
"Ooh I have an idea." She says as she spins my chair around.

In two hours she was able to straighten it, make a bow of my hair, waterfall braid it, curl it, shape it into a rose, but I finally settled on a messy bun.
"I wish you would have kept it in the rose." Lou says putting the final pins in.
"It seemed to formal, but we are definitely doing it for the concert." I smile to her through the mirror.
"Deal." She smiles no longer fussing with my hair. There are small ringlets framing my face, she holds a mirror behind my head in order for me to see the bun. Its simplicity is beautiful.
"I love it! I wish you could do my hair everyday!" I say admiring it.
"I can show you...oh look who is here!" She says. I see her face brighten as she looks to the door. "My babies!"
I see Tom Atkins with baby Lux in his arms. "What are you to doing here?" She says hugging him and taking Lux in her arms. "Hey baby, how are you." She says in a baby voice playing with Lux's hand.
She is so adorable, blonde hair pig tails, her eyes reminding me of the sky. I love small children, they are cute and innocent. "Kendall this is Tom, and here's my baby Lux." She says waving Lux's hand. "Say hi to Kendall."
"Hi." Her little voice rings making me melt.
"Hi Lux." I say, a grin spreading across my face. I wave to her making her giggle. She reaches towards me squirming in her mother's arms. "Would you mind if I held her?" I ask looking at the darling child in front of me.
"Not at all." Lou says resting her in my arms.
I hold her in my arms bouncing her. "Hi baby, hi. You are such the cutie." I say.
I play with her tickling and rocking her. She giggles in my arms causing us all laugh.
"Well Kendall, if I knew she'd like you so much I'd would have made you her god parent." Lou says with a laugh.
That's when Harry walks in. "Lou don't revoke my status! I've earned it!" He walks in followed by the others, Harry hugs Lou and kisses her cheek, also hugging Tom as he makes his way to me. "Kendall." He addresses me.
"Harry." I say with a nod still playing with Lux.
"Ah my Lux." He says reaching for Lux. I reluctantly hand her over and he lifts her into the air. Her small face brightens to the sound of his voice. He spins her around and tickles her stomach making her giggle.
"Ha-Harry." She says giggling.
"Yes it's me." He says in a baby voice. If I would have liked Harry it would have been heartwarming.
I look at the boys as they talk with Lou, Tom, and one another.
"I'd hate to break this moment, but we only have some time for lunch." Niall says clearing his voice.
"Oh yes, yes. We must run also." Lou says taking Lux back from Harry.
"Oh, alright." Harry says. He tickles Lux one last time and plants a kiss on her cheek. "Bye Lux." He says.
Lou smiles at Harry and hugs him goodbye. "Goodbye guys and great meeting you Kendall." She walks over and hugs me too.
"Bye nice meeting you, and you too." I say to Lux.
Her little hand wraps around my finger. "B-bye!" She says giggling. Awe! I think to myself. Lou and company walk out the door leaving me with the boys.
"That was quite adorable." Liam says.
I walk towards them near the door. "Who knew you were good with kids." Zayn shrugs.
"Who knew she was nice." Louis says a smirk growing on his face.
"Hey I can be nice." I say punching his arm lightly.
"There's the Kendall we know." Niall says with a laugh.
"Shut up and let's get some food." I say walking out the door.
"Yes ma'am." They say and follow me out.
