My Sweet Carolina-Harry Styles Fanfiction

Chapter 3- The Move

For the next hour I talk with my grandmother and discuss all the details. "When should I leave?" She sighs. "As soon as possible. If you wait too long you will talk yourself out of it." I wanted to argue and tell her that I wouldn't give up but I know that deep down she was right. "tonight?" She nods her head.

I sit there and just think about everything that had just happened within the course of a few hours. It was insane but it was also right. "Here's some money that I had set aside." I was so lost in my thoughts that I hadn't realized she had gotten up and left the room for a few minutes. "Grams..I..I can't possibly take this from you." I try to hand her back the money she had given me but she wouldn't let me. "Take it."

"I can't thank you enough for everything you have done." She smiles and leaves the room once again but returns soon after. "Take these with you as well." She drops keys into my hands. "Don't try to tell me no. I have my old car and I will be just fine with it."

I wrap her in a big hug. "I love you grams." She squeezes a bit tighter. "I love you more."

"I promise I will keep in touch with you. And I will come back." 

"Just promise me you won't come back until you know you're ready." I give her a small smile. "I promise."

Soon after I leave my grams house and head back to my dorm. The ride back seemed longer than the ride to my grams house. As soon as I get out of the car that she had just given to me moments ago I head for my dorm, open the door and pull out a duffel bag. I grab a few handfuls of clothes and put them into the bag after putting the money I had saved up and the money my grams had given me in first. I also throw some makeup, a toothbrush,my phone charger,my phone, brush, and a family picture I had in the corner of my room into the bag. 

Like I had done earlier, I take a quick glance around the room and after going over my mental checklist I turn around and start to head for the door. But as soon as I turn around I see Justin come into my room. "Where are you going?" He says knowing that something is up, I can see his face harden with anger. "I'm just going to my grams for the night. She has missed me the past few months so I told her I would stay." He continues to look at me with suspicion.

"I should probably get going before it gets too late.." Justin grabs my arm and holds on tightly. "You will be back tomorrow?" I take a deep breath and build up all the courage I possibly can. "Yes.I will see you later." He finally loosens his grip and lets me go.

If he could just realize how bad things had gotten..if he would just change his recent ways I wouldn't be leaving. But things haven't changed and I know deep down that they never will. Like grams said I have to do this.

What I really wanted to do was run straight out to the car and speed out of here but that would blow my whole plan. So I keep my cool and walk out slowly until I know I'm far out of Justin's sight. Once I get to the car I throw my bag inside and start the car.

I take one last look at the campus. I guess this is goodbye for now.

The first few hours of driving were harsh because I really haven't driven in a long time. But I quickly got used to it. My plan is to try and get to Arkansas then stop for the night. The first 5 hours went by pretty fast but as for the rest well they dragged.

To try and pass some time I turn on the radio. "One Direction has announced that they will be going on a 1 year hiatus after finishing up the tour for their album 'Four'. Is this the end of 1D?"

Wow I can't believe they are just gonna leave for a whole year. That really must be hard on the fans. 

Soon after today's top hits come on and I start to sing along... This ride can sure take a while.

Harry's P.O.V

"Thank you everybody! We will see you soon! Love you!" I yell to the crowd then walk off the stage with the rest of the lads. 

"I can't believe this is our last show in the North American part of the tour already." Niall states while changing into clean clothes with the rest of us. "I know it flew by."

"Come on boys you have to catch a plane in 20!" This was the hardest part for me. The constant running around, no breaks, no time to just sit back and think back on our performance. It was one of the many reasons why we couldn't just go straight into yet another tour. We need this break, the past few years it has been album then tour, album then tour. 

"Okay I'm all set." I look over at the rest of the lads and they look ready to go. It's quite nerve racking thinking about going our own ways for a little while but it is also exciting. We will get to see what we are actually capable of on our own. It'll be good for us all, even the fans.

"Next stop London." Louis yells jokingly in the car on the way to the airport making everyone laugh...This trip is going to be a while.

Listening to music helped pass the time but it could't keep me up. There is still another hour left until I can make it to Arkansas but I am so tired. Every time I look at the headlights of another car I want to cry because they are so bright that they make my eyes burn.

I decide on stopping an hour earlier. It will give me the extra hour of sleep, and I can get up on the earlier side so that way I can get even further later on. Besides it's almost 2:00 am in the morning if I push myself anymore and then sleep I will be starting the drive off the next day on the later side giving me less time to drive tomorrow.

While getting off at an exit I see that there is a Holiday Inn. Guess that's my stop for the night. I pull into a parking space and check into a room. Once I'm given my room key I head upstairs and drop my bag on the floor of my room. 

It sure has been a long day. 

I quickly wash my face in the bathroom and throw on a t-shirt. Tomorrow is going to be even longer.
