Harry Styles Imagine

Living without you, it's too hard for me to bear

Part 9:

Hailie awoke to hard hammering on her door. It sounded like about ten fists were knocking on her door. She got up, and checked her face in the mirror. "eugh" she said. Panda eyes, not to mention puffy from crying, tear streaked mascara, faded foundation and still in her dress. She fixed her dress, and ran to the front door, which sounded as if it was going to fall off it's hinges. "alright, alright I'm here!" she said, and was smothered in fourteen arms. "guys, guys, I'm quite fond of breathing!" they let go, and she looked into the faces of Danielle, Liam, Eleanor, Louis, Zayn, Perrie, and Niall. "hello" Hailie said, laughing. She brought them into the kitchen, and started making pancakes. She hated them, but the lads and the girls looked starving. "so.. Um.. Any special reason for this sudden and-" she looked at the clock "very early visit?" it was eight in the morning, not their usual calling time. "Harry told us" Liam's words made her freeze. "he did?" Niall continued. "mhm, he- uhh- he was drowning his sorrows and we got it out of him" Hailie plated up the food, and started cleaning the kitchen. She went into the utility, got a pair of grey tracksuits and a purple ramones t-shirt. She only realised after she smelled them that they were Harry's. Now she was definitely wearing them. "Hailie?" Danielle called from the kitchen. "yeaah?" she closed the door. "why did he do it?" Danielle asked. "break-up with me?" Danielle nodded in confirmation. Hailie sighed, and hopped up on the counter. She swung her legs, thinking. "he didn't say. He just said the tour was too much for the relationship and we should take a break" they all nodded, not looking at Hailie. "it's fine, guys. We're on good terms, I know why he did it. That's all I need" she opened the back door, before pausing and turning back. "please make yourselves at home, I'm going to go out into the garden and cry over my plants because the hose doesn't work" they laughed and went into the living room. Hailie pulled a lawn chair out from the shed, and sat on it. She pulled her knees up onto the chair, and rubbed her arms. Her teeth began chattering. She was freezing. "cold?" an Irish voice came from behind her. She turned around to see Niall standing looking down at her. "yeah" she got up and got out another lawn chair, placing it beside hers. Niall sat down on it. He looked at her hand, which was hanging over the arm of the chair. He took it, and ran his thumb over her palm. She didn't look at him or their interlinked hands, she just kept her eyes on the horizon. "Hailie?" she looked into his eyes, baby blue searching aqua blue. "mm?" he took her other hand. "Harry made a huge mistake. I'd never do that to you" she looked at the ground, smiling. "I'm serious, if you were mine, no matter what management said, I'd never, ever break your heart" she looked up at him again. "thank you, Niall" she didn't really know what to say. What was he implying? Or was this general after-breakup talk from lads? She didn't know. "Hailie? I have to tell you something" oh no. She knew where this was going. "what is it?" she said softly. "ever since I first met you, I have been in love with you. I just didn't say anything cause I could see you were falling for Harry. But now that you're single-" Hailie stood up. "Niall, no. No, I'm sorry, I can't do this!" she walked over to the garden fence, overlooking the forest and the lake. "why? I know you don't love Harry anymore!" she turned around. No one said she didn't love Harry. Not even his brother. "don't. Say. That. Don't ever, EVER, say I don't love Harry. You KNOW I love him with every little piece of my heart" tears streamed down her face. "I can't, I don't know-" Niall pulled her into a hug. She didn't argue. It's exactly what she needed. "I'm sorry, I just had to tell you how I felt. I've held them in for a year, and I thought now was an okay time" she sighed. "thank you for being so honest with me. But now, is just, not a good time for me to even consider a new relationship" he nodded, and wiped a tear from her face. He hugged her tightly. "don't break the hug too early" Niall shook his head. "it'll be hard for me to let go" she smiled. "c'mon" Niall said, leading her inside and up to her bedroom. He put her into bed, turned off the light and told her to go back to sleep. He went downstairs to everybody else. "did you tell her?" Zayn's voice came from the kitchen, making Niall jump. He nodded, realising what he meant. "what'd she say?" Niall looked at the floor. "thanks for telling her, she's not ready to even think about a relationship right now, she missed Harry, you know" Zayn nodded. "you okay, man?" Niall nodded, and went into the living room, closing the door behind him. "poor guy" Zayn thought to himself. He sat down on the couch next to Liam, watching the tv with the rest of them, when they all heard the front door slam. "what the-?!" Louis said, and ran out the living room door. Everyone else followed him. "Harry?" they heard Louis' voice as they turned corner. There, standing facing them all, was Harry. "what're you doing here?" he asked them. "could ask you the same question, mate" Liam said. "I'm here to see my baby" Harry went to go to the bedroom, but Niall put his arm out in front of him. "I'd say you're the last person she wants to see right now" Harry glared at him. "what do you know?! You don't know her! I KNOW HER BEST!" Harry was raising his voice to a dangerous volume. "Harry, you'll wake her" Perrie said firmly. "oh shut it, you" Harry said angrily. "hey! Don't talk to my girlfriend like that!" Zayn stepped in front of Perrie protectively. Harry sighed, and stepped back. "look, I've decided to ask for her forgiveness. I still love her, and I miss her too much. I've gone a night without her and it's been the longest night of my life. I don't care about management. I love her too much to let her go" Harry looked at the floor, a tear falling from his nose. "guys, can ye give us a minute?" they all turned around to see Hailie standing at the foot of the stairs. "are you sure, Hailie?" Danielle looked angry. Hailie nodded. "please guys?" they looked at Harry angrily, then went back into the living room. Harry instantly dropped to his knees, crawling towards her feet. "I'm so, so, so, so, so sorry, baby. Management forced me, I argued so much with them, I almost lost my place in 1D! I regret last night so much, I've been kicking myself ever since I woke up. I need you Hailie, and I'm not leaving here until I have you back. Say you'll take me back?" Hailie grabbed Harry's clasped hands, and pulled him up. She placed a finger under his chin, lifted up his head and wiped his tears. "Harry Styles, you silly, silly boy. What ever made you think I wouldn't have you in a second? You know I love you baby" he smiled, making her giggle. She placed her hands on his neck, and he kissed her hard. "I love love love love love love you, Hailie Anderson" he said through the kiss. He picked her up bridal style, and brought her into the living room. She squirmed for him to let go. "okay" he said. "no, you wouldn't!" she said warningly. "oh, but I would, gorgeous" he said, winking at her. "Harry no-!" he dropped her, and she screamed before being caught. But it wasn't Harry. Niall had caught her. "you stupid? You said you wouldn't let her go again!" Hailie put her hands over her eyes. "fuck" she stood up, and tried to break up the screaming match that had started between Niall and Harry. "help" she said to Zayn. Him and Liam got up, and eventually got Niall and Harry into separate rooms. "thanks, lads" she smiled as they entered the room once again. Harry was now sitting on the couch beside Danielle. "Hailie" he patted the space beside him. She sat down, pulled her legs up beside her and rested her head on the back of the couch. Harry grabbed her legs and threw them over his lap. She moved to get comfier, and he threw his arm around her. She sighed and gently rested her head on his arm. "you okay, Hailie?" Danielle said, snuggling further into Liam. "yeah, just been a long day I guess" she closed her eyes as Harry began to stroke her hair. She fell asleep within ten minutes, and Harry carried her up to bed, again. "sleep tight love, I'll be up soon" he went to leave, but came back. "I forgot to say I love you" he kissed her forehead, and left. She went to sleep with a smile on her face that night.
