It's Time

Chapter 27

Lara’s POV

*2 months later*

It’s been 2 months since I last saw Harry. Of course I’v seen his face flash up on the TV occasionally but it wasn’t the same. I spent most of my days in the studio, music was the one thing that made me forget about the emptiness I felt without Harry by my side. Our career has sky rocketed since the X Factor with a number 1 in the US, UK and of course Australia.

When he left for tour he contacted me every day even if it was just to say goodnight or good morning. Harry’s calls are limited now, I’m lucky if I hear from him 3 times a week. I love him but I’m not sure if he loves me anymore. You would have thought I would get use to the feeling of loving someone and them not loving me back but truth is you never get use to the pain and heartbreak. The fans have noticed that I’m looking sadder lately, I guess missing Harry had really taken toll on me.

I sit alone in the empty recording booth just staring at the blank wall. A song slips into my head completely and utterly describing my feelings.

“Well, I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looki-"

*ring ring*

I pull out my phone and check the caller ID. I click the green button apprehensively and holding my phone to my ear.

“Niall?” I say confused into my phone

“Hey Lara” Niall says casually “What’s up?” I ask wondering why he would be calling me. “I need to speak to you about Harry” I instantly panic my hearts pace begins to pick up. “Is he okay? Is he hurt?” I ask eagerly awaiting an answer “Lara don’t worry he’s not hurt. Well not physically” Nialls speaks more serious now. “What are you saying Niall?” I ask frustrated that he hasn’t gotten to his point yet. “He isn’t the same anymore. He doesn’t eat or sleep. The fans are noticing and so is management. He misses you Lara!” I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that he was missing me just as much as I was missing him. “I miss him too!” I admit to Niall “Well we need to get Harry back to normal! So I have booked you a flight to New York and you’re going to surprise Harry” I smile at Niall’s considerate plan. “Thank you so much Niall!” I say excitedly. “The plane leaves tonight at 8 o’clock and will arrive around lunch time tomorrow” Niall informs me. I feel all of my sadness has just been drained out of my body and filled with a bubbly liquid. I thank him once again and rush home to pack my bags for my plane trip in 2 hours.

I arrive at the airport and a tall broad man meets me and immediately escorts me to a black vehicle through the back doors of the airport.

“Hi I’m Paul Higgins, One Directions security guard” He says sweetly in a Irish accent. “Hi I’m Lara, Harry’s girlfriend” I reply smiling as he began to drive out and away from the airport. “So you’re the famous Lara! Harry never stops talking about you” I giggle “Yep that’s me” I respond confidently and he laughs in response.

“Alright were here” Paul says parking directly in front of the fancy looking hotel. “Thanks so much Paul” I say and grab my suitcase and climb out of the car walking into the extravagant lobby. I gawk at how expensive it looked, I take out my phone deciding to call Niall to tell him that I had arrived.

“Hey Niall! I’m downstairs in the lobby” I say happily

“Oh good you’re here! I will come down and get you” Niall says in his strong Irish accent

“Alright” I hang up and all of a sudden my nerves kicked in. I started to doubt myself ‘Was this a good idea? I mean what if Harry doesn’t want me here?’ I tap my foort nervously on the marble floor.

*ding*

I turn around to see Niall running out of the elevator, he immediately gives my a big friendly hug. “Harry is upstairs in his room, I will ask him if he wants to come out with me and the boys and I know he will say no and that’s when you come in” Niall said excitedly talking about his genius plan. “Okay but Niall?” I say nervously “Yeah” “Do you recon Harry would be happy to see me?” I ask “Of course he will! He loves you Lara” Niall says reassuringly. He grabs my suitcase and leads me to the elevator, hopefully it all works out.

Harry’s POV

I feel empty, I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling. I didn’t realise how much Lara meant to me until we were forced to separate for 3 months. I called her everyday at first but as the weeks went on the more I heard her sweet voice the more it made me upset that I wasn’t there by her side. All I want to do is feel her lips on mine and hold her in my arms. But she is miles away.

“Hey Harry! Do you want to come out with the lads and I” Niall says energetically burting into my room with out knocking.

“Nope” I say bluntly not even breaking my stare with the ceiling to look at him.

“Harry you can’t just sit here all day!” Niall whines

“Yes I can, just watch me!” I say emotionlessly

“Fine but I have a ‘surprise’ to give you” Niall says, gosh he is a weird boy. Knowing Niall his ‘surprise’ will be an empty Nandos box or something. Niall leaves the room for a moment I was guessing he was getting his ‘surprise’. Niall comes back into the room but I could feel another presence in the room, but I just guessed it was one of the boys.

“Hey”

Lara’s POV

I tip toe quietly into the room following behind Niall. There Harry was laying in his bed staring at the ceiling not even acknowledging that we had just walked into the room. Seeing him made me realise how much I had missed him the past 2 months.

“Hey” I say simply, Harry turns his head quickly his eyes widening at the sight of me. He jumps off the bed and rushes over to me wrapping his strong arms around my petite body lifting my up from the ground slightly, Harry’s familiar scent filling my nostrils. “I missed you so much!” I whisper into Harry’s ear, he unlatches his arms from around me and stares into my eyes. His eyes greener than ever before our forheads touching lightly “I love you!” harry says in a raspy voice before kissing my lips. I craved this moment for 2 months, this is what I have been yearning for.

You've got to have someone who loves your body. Who doesn't define you, but sees you. Who loves what he sees. Who you don't have to struggle to be good enough for.

That person is Harry.
