A Directioner's Dream - (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Goodbyes, New Friends, Makeups, and Bad News.

Chapter 18:

***Lauren's POV***

Leave it up to Harry Styles to fly to LA just to find me. I was trying to get away from him, but of course, he wouldn't let that happen.

Now, I'm standing outside Sarah's house with Harry Styles, the love of my life, but also, the boy that broke my heart.

"Please, just listen to me..." He was looking right into my eyes.

"I'm listening." I say flatly.

Honestly, I was holding back a smile. Even though Harry broke my heart just hours earlier, I know he really did care about me. If he didn't, he wouldn't have flown all the way out here just to talk to me.. Maybe forgiving him wouldn't be as hard as I thought. 

"Lauren... I am so sorry. I really am. I was drunk and I didn't mean to do any of what I did. Honestly, I was gonna tell you. I was just gonna do it later. How did I know that blonde bimbo would show the whole world that picture?! Heck, I didn't even know there was a picture! I care so much about you.. More than you will ever know. I love you with all my heart. How do I know that? Because whenever I'm with you I still get butterflies. Every time I see you I just wanna kiss you. Whenever I see you upset, I want to cry. I just want to make you happy. I never thought I would like someone as much as I like you. You changed me for the better. I would be lost without you. I will never ever do this again, it was the worst mistake I have ever made. I know that you are really hurt, and I'm sorry... I didn't want any of this to happen. I know you probably don't want to ever talk to me again, and if that's true.. just know that I will never ever forget you. I just want you to be happy, Lauren."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I know that Harry really does care about me.

I took a moment to process what I was hearing, and I was completely silent. I just stared into his piercing green eyes.

"Lauren, I just wa-" 

I pulled Harry in and gave him the biggest kiss I've ever given him. That's the only way I could let him know I understood. I did understand that he wanted to be with me, and I wanted to be with him. 

I was smiling throughout the whole kiss. Suddenly, I hear giggling. I stopped and looked behind me.

Louis, Drake, and Sarah were staring at Harry and I through the window with giant smiles on their faces. I motioned them to come out.

"Looks like everything worked out?" Sarah said rubbing my back.

"Sure did." I said smiling at Harry.

"So does this mean you're coming home? With us?" Louis said grinning.

I thought for a while... I do want to go back. They are all my family.

"Yes. I'm coming home." I smiled.

"HOORAY! Let's go!" Louis started running towards the car. Harry and Drake followed.

I gave Sarah a half-smile.

"Go. It's okay. Have fun. I love you. Glad everything's better." Sarah gave me a big hug and waved goodbye. 

We got in the car and drove off.

"First stop: taking Drake home!" Harry said.

"Noooooo." Drake said sadly.

"Sorry bud." Harry laughed.

I'm still wondering how Drake got involved in all of this, but I'll figure that out later.

We took Drake home, and then drove to the airport.

"Is Tim mad?" I say.

"He was... but not anymore. He just wants us home." Louis says.

After about an hour of waiting, we hop on the plane.

I can't believe I flew all the way home... and now I'm flying back? What a day.

----------------------------------------------------

"Hey doll!" Tim said giving me a hug.

"Don't ever scare us like that again!" Liam says patting my back.

All the boys give me giant hugs. It felt good to be back.

After an hour of resting in my room with Harry, Tim knocks on the door.

"Hey!" I smile and open the door.

Tim didn't look happy. He walked in and sat down on a chair.

"I need to talk to you. Harry, you can say." Tim says messing with his hands. 

"What is it?" I raise my eyebrow. 

I look over at Harry. His face turned serious, too.

"I really don't know how to tell you this... but, there was an accident." Tim said putting his hand on my knee.

"What do you mean?" I say, confused.

"I'm sorry, honey. You're parents were in a bad car accident..." I saw Tim's eyes fill with tears.

Harry put his arm around me.

"Are they okay?!"

"Well, no... they didn't make it. They were rush to the hospital and... passed.. there." Tim and Harry started hugging me. 

I could feel my eyes swell with tears. 

"How.... how long have they been gone?" I say choking back tears.

"A week or two. I was waiting until the right time to tell you." Tim kissed me on the cheek.

I can't believe he waited this long..

I know, this is strange.. but I'm not crying as much as I imagined I would. Maybe it's because I'm so over-whelmed with everything that happened today.

I sat there for a minute, silently sobbing with Harry and Tim hugging me.

"I'll take care of you. We can be your family now." Tim said and Harry nodded.

I was completely silent. But then I looked up and smiled.

"You already are my family." Now I remember the dream I had. My parents were disappearing and telling me not to worry. So, I'm not going to. I know they loved me and they know I love them. Of course, I'm sad. But, I know they are in a better place.

Tim got the biggest grin on his face. 

"I'm glad to hear that." 

"I love you guys.. thank you." I said pulling them in for the biggest hug ever.
