Unconditionally (Harry Styles)

Chapter 22

*Harry's POV*

We cry in each other's arms for a good 10 minutes. I don't think either of us want to let go. I have to talk to her though... She deserves to know the truth... I don't care about Emily.

"Hey, babe" I sniff "we should talk."

"Yeah, we should" she sniffs.

She starts to walk to her room, so I follow behind. We walk in and sit on her bed.

My phone is still ringing, so I finally give in and turn it off. They can all wait.

I grab her hands in mine and look into her beautiful emerald eyes.

"So... I guess I should explain all of this to you" I stutter over my words.

"Okay" she says.

I take a deep breath. "I'm not supposed to tell you about this... but I don't care anymore."

She nods her head looking confused.

"Okay... so... our management basically controls our life... they do it all for money... but we signed a contract, so we have to do whatever they say."

She nods her head again clearly wanting me to continue.

"Well... Emily... she... she told me I had to break up with you. But I couldn't tell you why... and she got me a new phone and deleted your number..." Tears start coming out of my eyes just thinking about it.

I see tears starting to form in her eyes as well.

"I'm so sorry I did that to you, Sydney. it will never happen again... I just.... I didn't know what to do..." I say looking down.

"It's okay, Harry. I get it now." She says as a tear drips down her cheek.

It's not okay, though.

"No, Sydney. It's not okay. I hurt you. I'm so sorry." I cry.

"Harry, it's not your fault. Don't worry about it... I forgive you"

"I love you, Sydney. I love you so much" I cry.

I look up and into her eyes. I think we both know what's coming next. I lean in and her lips crash into mine. I can't even begin to describe how good this feels. I've missed this so freaking much. I have been craving the taste of her lips since the second we pulled away from our last kiss over a month ago.... I have needed it.

Our lips start to move in complete synchronization. This movement alone sends shivers all down my spine.

I've missed this. I've missed her.

"I love you. With everything in me..." she reassures me as her fingers fumble with the cross that I always have around my neck.

I can't help but smile. "I love you" I say as I kiss her forehead.

She lays her head down on my chest. All of the pain and depression that I have felt this past month has completely vanished. And I have never felt so happy and peaceful. I start to rub small circles on her back. She feels so skinny. I hope she's been eating.

"Do they know where you are?" she quietly asks.

"No.... But let's not worry about them." the last thing I want to think about is work.

"Harry, you have to at least let them know where you are... you can't hurt your job..."

"Sydney, please. Just give me one night. One peaceful, stress free night. I'll call them first thing in the morning, okay?"

She sighs "okay, Harry"

*Louis' POV*

"WHERE THE HELL DID HE GO?!" Emily comes stomping in the building.

"None of us know" I answer, trying to stay calm.

"Have any of you tried to call him?!" she yells.

"Yes. We've been trying all night..."

"It's that girl. I know it is. He's probably with her right now! Well he better enjoy these few hours, because once I find him, he's never going to see that girl again!" She yells.

Anger builds up inside of me. She can't destroy their lives like that. Who does she think she is?

"You can't do that to him!" I blurt out without thinking.

"What?" she says obviously shocked.

"You can't just destroy their lives! You know how much they love each other!" I say hoping to knock some sense into her messed up mind. But nothing can do that...

"Excuse you Mr. Tomlinson. But I think you have forgotten that I can do whatever the hell I want! You guys seem to forget that every single one of you signed a contract. And unless you quit One Direction, there is no getting out of it!" she says inches away from my face. She really needs a tic tac.

I don't say anything. Instead I just turn around and walk away. She's a bitch. That's all she is... a stuck up, heartless bitch.

I wish Harry would pick up the phone. I'm really worried about him. I'm hoping that he is with Sydney... but I don't even know...

*Harry's POV*

It's been a while since I've felt this peaceful. No phone calls, no twitter alerts, nothing relating to work. Just me and Sydney.... Just how I like it.

She sits up and rests her elbows on my chest. She smiles and starts rubbing her hands through my hair.

"Your hair is so long" she chuckles.

"I know. I really need it cut, don't I?"

"No. I kind of like it like this... you sure can rock a bandana"

I chuckle "well thank you"

I take my hands and grab some of her long, brown hair. "Hey, yours is long too"

She smiles "I know. I really need it cut, don't I?"

"NO! Please don't!" I say. I have always loved her hair.

"I'm kidding" she chuckles "the people at Ralph Lauren would kill me!"

"Well good. How's that going by the way?" I haven't talked to her about it in a while... well I haven't talked to her at all for a while.

"It's been going really good actually. I've made some really good friends!"

That's really great news. It makes my heart happy to know she wasn't completely alone when I put her through all of that pain.

I can't help but smile "Good. I'm so glad."

She chuckles "yeah, me too"

I love the fact that she is still laying on my chest. I guess it's just as comforting to her as it is to me.

I look over at the alarm clock next to her bed. Wow, It's 1 am.

"Are you tired, babe?" I ask her.

"Yeah, a little bit" she yawns.

"Okay, well get some rest" I kiss her on the forehead. "Goodnight, baby."

"Goodnight, Harry" she says as she wraps her legs around mine.

"I love you, Sydney" I kiss her on the head.
