Anna-Leigh

08

Harry POV

I hop in my black mini SUV scared on what will happen with Anna-Leigh, Gemma, and Lou. This is my first time leaving Anna with someone and I don't know what will happen or how she'll take it. All I know is that it's worrying me like bloody hell.

I pull out the driveway with no problem. There's only fans but, it's not that many. But, I promise you, by the time I get back they'll be many fans scattered out there. I hop Anna-Leigh won't get nervous or scared.

As I drive down the London streets my phone rings. I check the caller ID and notice that it's Jade.

I answer the call and place the phone up to my ear confused on why she's calling me. Because, like, what's the point of talking to me on the phone when you can't stop yelling at me whenever we're talking in person? That's really an annoying process if you ask me.

"Hello?" I say more as a question and also in a state of confusion.

"Hey, I'm going to be home late because it's snowing here. But, you probably don't care anyway." Jade says and I can hear her shuffling around wherever she is in Ireland.

"Right now I actually care." I say with a smile that creeped to my face. Am I blushing? Yup, I'm blushing.

"Why?" She asks confused. "I give you a bloody hell of a fight all the time and you tell me that you actually care that I called you? Even though, I lock you out of your own room every single bloody night?" Jade says it all in a confusing and questioned state of matter.

"I care because you are actually bothering to talk to me without giving me a fight. I'm really happy that you're trying to open up to me. That's 1 down and another to go." I say as I stop at a red light.

"Haha, well I guess. But, I really want to be a wonderful mum to Anna-Leigh, I bet she's probably scared of me right now. But, I think the gifts I got her for Christmas are going to change that." Jade says with a giggle. Yes, she's choosing to be apart of the happy group and not Ms. Grumpy Pants. I miss the lovely old Jade I fell in love with.

"What did you get her?" I ask as I pull into Zayn's driveway spotting his car. I turn off the ignition but stay in the car.

"I got her an iPhone 5s and I also got her the Little Mix and the One Direction makeup collection. I also got her a charm bracelet with a couple charms." Jade says happily and gleefully.

"What are we going to do about her not talking us?" Jade asks out of the blue. Wow, that never came across my mind till now. I don't know, really. She's the way she is, can we even possibly change her? Because she's her own person and she chooses not to talk, so should we just let her be till she decides to open up.

"I say we wait to see if she'll open up to us. And, I think you should give her some space because after you called her a coward last night. She kind of tried to runaway and she cried herself to sleep. You really hurt her, Jade. But, we'll talk about this more when you get home." I inform Jade. I really need to talk to Zayn before he heads somewhere and I can't talk to him till tomorrow or something.

"Ok, I'll talk to you later and I'll send you a list of gifts to get." Jade says with a smirk knowing me.

"Ok, you always do anyway. I'll probably talk to you tonight. When are flying back in?" I ask with a raised eyebrow.

"Either tomorrow morning or afternoon." Jade informs me.

"Ok, well, I'll talk to ya tonight, because I have to talk to Zayn about these pictures Anna-Leigh has been drawing." I inform Jade of my where-a-bouts. I feel so happy talking to Jade with an actual conversation instead of her yelling at me and telling me what's wrong with me. She's actually trying to warm up. I think Perrie got to her. Maybe.
