Save You Tonight - One Direction

Pinky Promises

The word got out, and I was soon mobbed with reporters and fans-some extremely rude and some very sweet and respectful. It turns out that there were leaked pictured of me hanging out with the boys, calling me the mystery girl, but there were tons of me and Harry. I found it strange how there were none of Josh and me. I've been out of the loop for the past three days, and when I arrived home, my parents seemed to have forgotten my eating disorder, and were just glad I made it home alive. They've obviously seen the tabloids.

I didn't hear word from Harry, but I did get a few texts and calls from Niall, Zayn, Louis, and Liam. I even got a tweet from Eleanor and Danielle, supporting me through some hate I've been getting. No, I wasn't famous, but comments got quite brutal towards me for the pictures of Harry and I kissing and having dinner. there were also tons of fans who were glad that a fan just like them were friends with One Direction. Those were the little things that made my day when I got home from school and saw that Harry still hadn't contacted me. Yes, the kiss surprised me, but no, I didn't regret it. But I'm sure he did. After he kissed me, he had an emotionless face, and then he just walked away like, work here is done. And I know that he's not the type of person to do that, even Louis said so. Niall told me to hang in there, that he'll come around. And eventually, he did. But he did it in the most shocking way.

'I told them.' - Harry.

I stared at the text message, my mouth hanging open. It's been about a month since he's contacted me, and the only thing he has to say is this. He told the boys the real reason I had fainted at their signing. A huge wave of guilt washed over me as I received a call from Liam.

"Hey, Dani. We just want to say we're not angry," Liam said, and I could feel the presence of some other people on the other line.

"Hey, Liam. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. It was hard enough having Harry know, and I- I didn't want you guys to worry," I said, wanting to cry, but no tears came out.

"It's okay, Dani. You were having a tough time, I'm sure it was hard to even deal with it yourself. There's no reason to be sorry," I hear Zayn say.

"We're here if you need us. We'll support you all the way, we just want you to get better," Niall said.

"Thanks guys, you're the best," I say, smiling softly.

"Oh, and Dani?" Louis says," Don't worry about Harry, he'll come around, promise."

I smile. "Thanks, guys. You have no idea how much that means to me," I say, meaning every word.

"Feel better, Dani," Liam says, "We've got to get back to touring. Last day until the UK, and then to Sweden!"

"Byyee Dani!" they say in unison and I say bye too, hanging up.

Two months since Harry's talked to me. I didn't know what I did wrong. With the other boys, though, I still talked to them every so often. They were in Sweden now, recording their next album. I only really get to talk or text with them once or twice a week. And I'm finally out of the tabloids, thankfully.

As for my eating disorder, Niall has taken up the job of eating with me over FaceTime or Skype. And when he can't, Liam does. Niall's probably the one I've kept closest to, he's been filling in all of the pinky promises that Harry made to me. The doctor says I'm getting better, that my recovery is going better than expected. Which is reasonable since I was pretty stubborn in the hospital. Although my health is getting better, I'm still not feeling any better.

"He still talks about you, you know," Niall tells me one day over Skype. I was in my room, we had just finished a meal. I no longer needs to be monitored, but we kept Skyping anyway.

"Does he hate me?" He shakes his head, taking a drink of water.

"I don't think anyone's capable of anyone hating you, Dani," He says, I smile and rest my head in the palm of my head.

"I'm turning seventeen next week," I say happily. I was desperate to change the subject. Girls at school sometimes taunted me saying, 'has Harry called yet?' but thanks to Hannah, they go away pretty quickly.

"That reminds me, have you gotten anything in the mail yet?" He smiles mischievously.

I cock my head to the side, confused. "I might," I say, looking to the pile of unopened mail on my nightstand. My mom puts it there for me each time I get mail, but I usually just neglect it. I pick the stack up and rummage through it. "And what exactly am I looking for?"

"Just keep looking," he says and I do so. Junk, junk, magazines, college brochures, and in the middle of it all, a letter from the UK. I smile and lift it up so he can see.

"Hm, what's this?" He shrugs, smirking. I open it and there's a cute cheesy birthday card waiting for me. "Awh, this is sweet," I say, opening it. There was another smaller envelope inside, but I read the card first, smiling.

"Open the other one," Niall said anxiously. He was smiling widely, I could tell he was trying not to spill a secret.

I laugh and open the envelope, staring, wide eyed at what appeared. In my hands, was a first class ticket to London, England. I smiled widely and squeezed excitedly.

"You got me a plane ticket to visit you guys? You're unbelievable, this is fantastic, thank you so much!" I exclaim, jumping around on my bead while Niall laughed at me. "I would hug you if we weren't on other sides of the world," I added, he laughed.

--

Later that night, I reread the card and the plane ticket. It was for the weekend after my birthday, when school was out and summer vacation was finally in session. I couldn't believe I would be in the UK with One Direction for the whole summer. They had already asked me parents permission, and I loved my parents so much right now for saying yes.

But Harry. I bit my lip, forgetting that he would be there. Awkward much? I sighed, how would it be when I get there ? Would he even speak to me? I tried to look on the brighter side of this. I got to go out of the country with my five, even if Harry and I weren't talking I still consider him a friend, favorite boys. Yea, this would be the best birthday and summer of my life.
