Time's Up

Chapter 22: Time's Up

*2 months and a half months later*

Harry

The girls are coming home today and I couldn't be happier. My life is finally in a stable place.

I found out that Taylor did write that song about me. She had a huge crush on me; I was stupid not to see it. When she kissed me in the car she knew that someone was taking our picture.

She was hoping that my management would make me date her but they actually told me to stop seeing her. I haven't talked to Taylor since.

But enough about Taylor, I saw Lauren a month into her tour. She and I talked a lot and we hung out with one another since Niall wasn't there. We joked around a lot and it only made me like her more.

*Flashback*

"Stop it. I'm going to explode from laughter. "Lauren said in between laughs.

"I can't help it. I'm a naturally funny person." I said in between laughs as well.

"Thanks for hanging out with me Harry." Lauren smiled, "I really appreciate it."

"Anytime. I love hanging out with you." I smiled back at her.

Next thing I knew she had leaned in and kissed me on my left cheek.

I put my hand to my cheek, "What was that for?"

"For being you." she blushed, "You've been here for me and I don't know how to repay you."

"You could kiss this cheek." I joked, "To even it out."

She laughed but did as I asked and when she pulled away ours eyes connected for a few seconds. She quickly looked away.

"Umm...I had better go." Lauren got up from the floor and wiped herself off.

I stood up right after her, "I can't wait to see your concert. You'll be amazing."

"Thanks." she smiled.

She pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back.

"See you later." she said right before walking out of the door.

*Flashback ends *

I can still feel her lips on my cheek. I can only imagine what it would actually feel like to kiss her on her lips. We're going to pick the girls up from the airport in a few then drop them off at home so that they can get ready for the teen choice awards; they made it just in time.

Niall

I can't believe that it's already been 2 months and a half. I hate to say this but I haven't broken up with Jade yet. I've been trying to figure out a way to break up with her without exposing Lauren's and I secret.

Jade has been pressuring me to take this relationship to the next level but I don't want to. I have no idea how Lauren is going to react to this. I promised her I would have been broken up with Jade by now. Hopefully when I see her later and explain everything she will give me a second chance.

Lauren

Sitting here waiting for Niall and the rest of the guys to show up is nerve wrecking. I can only hope that Niall held up his end of the promise.

"I know that you're already nervous as it is but I don't think that you should get your hopes up about Niall." Ally said.

"Why not?" I asked slightly rudely.

"I talked to Liam about 3 weeks ago and Niall and Jade were still dating." Ally said just as the boys walked in, "Just though you should know."

I looked at Niall and I could see his face light up. I ran up to him and hugged him.
