songs listened to while writing: All Shook Up: Blue Suede Shoes, There's Always Me, If I Can Dream, You're The Devil In Disguise, It Hurts Me
---------------
Another two weeks go by, and still nothing was heard from Harry besides his comment on my Instagram post. I was trying to push it out of my mind as much as I could, and I put everything I had left into this musical.
Me acting like nothing was happening now made Louis more and more frustrated. He didn't like how I just turned off my emotions like this. I was taking out my headband to put on my hat to become Ed when Louis started to walk over to me.
"Gotta go," I say before I ran out on stage to perform Blue Suede Shoes in costume.
The entire time I was on stage I could practically feel Louis's eyes burning into the side of me. I knew I was in the clear after this because he had to come out for Don't Be Cruel.
We manage to run through the show in costume, and dad called for a break for dinner before we do one more run through without costumes. I'm tying my headband to push back my hair when I see Louis coming up behind me.

"Athena," he sternly says and I spin around to face him. "Problem?" I ask sweetly before throwing on my little red cropped hoodie. "Problem?" Louis laughs "You seem to not have a care in the world. You get your hair cut and you're a whole new woman."
I cross my arms and lean against the vanity "This is about Harry isn't it," I say "Lou he hasn't reached out to me at all. Or answer me when I've reached out." "So you've given up?" he questions and I shake my head "I'm giving him space," I reply "he's focusing on him and I support him for that. But we've also got stuff going on here, the show's in two weeks."
"He hasn't answered you?" Louis looks confused and I nod "He called me last night Thena."
"Well that's fantastic," I mutter before pushing off the vanity and going out to get food.

I walk back away from Niall and head to the wing as he keeps singing It Hurts Me. I grab one of the headsets to do the backup vocals with Eleanor and Zoe. Eleanor gives me a look, since she didn't see me at break. I shake my head and she nods, knowing that I'll tell her later.
We go through It Hurts Me, A Little Less Conversation, and we're now onto The Power Of My Love.
"You're talking now," El grabs my arm as we stood in the wing. "Harry called Louis last night," I look at her "did you know?" She shakes her head "He didn't say anything to me, have you heard from Harry?" I shake my head "Nothing except that comment two weeks ago."
I hear them skip over I Don't Want To, and head straight to You're The Devil In Disguise. "Is Harry going to be back for the shows?" El asks while grabbing Louis's arm, stopping him dead in his tracks. "I-I don't know," he admits "he said he's going good. And he asked how Thena was doing, that's about it."
"What'd you say?" I ask him and he shrugs "I said you've been fine, rough at the start but the musical been keeping you busy apparently."
"S.hit," El grabs Louis's arm "get out there we're up now."
I watch the two go through their lines perfectly, and then Eleanor goes into There's Always Me. I rest my head in my hand, leaning it on the vanity. "Thena," Kenz smacks the arm my head was in and I catch myself. "Go turn your d.amn phone off, it won't stop vibrating.
It only vibrates when I get a call.
I had four minutes at least.
I burst through the backstage door and rushed into the choir room, grabbing my phone out of the phone box and looking at my lockscreen.
H❤️missed call (3)
I swipe across and it goes to call.
And it rings
and rings
and rings.
"Please please please," I begged while holding the phone up to my ear.
"Thena?"
I couldn't speak, hearing his voice took the wind right out of me.
"You there angel?" he says again "Hi," I manage to get out while I hear the Zoe starting If I Can Dream. "You're at rehearsal I just remembered," he murmurs "I thought you wouldn't answer." "Did you want me to?" I ask, unsure if I want to know the response.
"Of course A," Harry replies "just time zones and rehearsals slipped my mind." He paused "Saw that you got a haircut," he says "looks nice." "You don't sound like yourself," I tell him while keeping an eye out on what's being performed. "It's late," he responds and I nod knowing he can't see me.
"I know you've got a lot of questions," Harry starts and I chuckle "You didn't even tell me," I say. "You didn't tell Louis. I found out through Gemma telling me how to take care of Dusty." "I didn't know how to," Harry replies "Hey I'm going to England to get help," I say "that would've been fine. Are you at least coming back for the shows?"
"I don't know."
"Harry you worked so hard for this," I start "you deserve to be out on that stage performing." I hear the song starting to end "Harry I-" "You have to go," he says for me "rehearsal and all." "I can call you later-" I start saying but Harry cuts me off.
"No worries, go rehearse," he says "Harry-" I start again but then I hear the familiar 'Beep, beep, beep'.
"Love you too," I sigh before throwing my phone back down into the box and running out to finish the run through.
