HOPE (1D FANFIC)

Chapter 12:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Harry's P.O.V

I figured that if I was going to tell Andrea about tour, might as well just get it over with. We are meeting for lunch later today. I hope she's not mad. She will understand, right?

As I rung the doorbell to her house I noticed the there was a note on the doormat. I was bending down to pick it up when the door opened revealing her face.

"This was out here." I say handing her the note. She took one glance at it, threw it behind her, and roughly closed the door. We linked arms as we walked out to the car.

"What did the note say?" I asked her when we were secure inside of the car.

"Not a note really, errr just some advertisement." I could tell that was a lie.

"So there is something I've been meaning to tell you lately." I mumble kind of uneasily.

"Really? About what?"

"Umm so you know, umm. Err... I just want you to know that I love you." I couldn't do it.

"I love you too." She said and then crashed her lips into mine and at that moment I realized that what I said was true, just not what I had planned to say.

I dropped Andrea off at her house after our date ended about an hour ago. After I had said goodnight to Gemma and Ma, I have been laying in bed trying to find a way to tell her the news.

By now I have decided to do it at a time she is happy, but the problem is that I don't know when she would be around again. I had asked her this and all she had responded with 'When exams are over.' How was I supposed to know when that was! Since I had been laying here for so long I realized that it was practically Saturday!

I pulled out my phone to text here, but changed my mind. She was probably asleep by now and I didn't want to wake her. I decided to just worry about it tomorrow.

Andrea's P.O.V

I woke up to find a text from Harry already. 'Need to talk to you. Starbucks? Lunch? 1:00? My treat.;)' It read.

'Sure. See you there:)' I responded. It was 11:35 right now so I jumped into the shower.

Fifteen minutes later my hair was dry and in a bun on top of my head. Now, what to wear. I went for causal. I was Saturday. I threw on a pair of black leggings and a T-shirt from my old school football team with a giant, dark blue, sweatshirt overtop. I grabbed my head and walked out the door because lord knew my mom was to drunk to get in the shower, let alone drive me to Starbucks which was two miles away from our flat!

I walked in five minutes early and expected to be waiting a few more for Harry to arrive. But I was wrong. In a table in the corner was Harry and a girl that looked about my age!

I turned to leave, but was acquainted with a hand on my shoulder before I had the chance.

"We need to talk." It was Harry.

All I could do was glance over at the girl who Harry was sitting with.

"She's just a fan." He must have read my mind.

"Okay." I said sliding into the nearest chair. Harry slid into the one across the table. "Shu." I said cueing him to begin with whatever he needed to talk to me about.

"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Bad? I think."

He grabbed my hands under the table and begun. "The band leaves for our tour on Wednesday." He sighed.

"Harry why didn't you tell me!" I yelled. Now half the people here were staring at us. I had gotten used to that.

"I-I didn't know how." He said.

I was speechless.

"But Paul said that it's okay for you to come!" He perked up.

"You know I couldn't do that." I sighed looking down.

"Why not?" He asked.

"I have my mom to take care of. An-and exams at school. And Er-" oops can't mention that. "Other things." I corrected myself.

"Okay so we can still keep in touch though right?"

I looked away.

"Right?" He repeated?

"I don't think so Harry."

"So- so this is it?" He asked.

"I guess." By then we had both started to get up. We stared at each other for a minute and then embraced. For a long time. When we finally pulled back, I realized that we were both shedding tears like crazy. We said our last goodbyes and headed off in different directions.
