Plot 22

Chapter 8

Megan POV

"Why do you want to go see her grave?" I asked him.

"I haven't seen it since her funeral. I miss her". I didn't feel like dealing with this.

"Harry, visiting Ashley's grave isn't going to bring her back". He rolled his eyes.

"I know, but I still want to see it". I relucantly agreed. We got ready, and I drove to the cemetery.

"Do you remember which headstone is hers?", he asked me.

"Plot 22. It's easy to find". He walked up to it.

"Hey Ashley", he said, "it's me, Harry. Sorry that I haven't come to see you in a while. I broke my leg. But, your sister is taking really good care of me. I think it's because Niall is making her". I shot him a look, and he laughed.

"We all really miss you down here", he continued, "it's just not the same. I can't even go to the beach anymore without you in mind". His voice broke.

"I know you're in a better place, and I should just let you go. But, it's not as easy as it sounds. Your sister is just as gorgeous as you were, and I have to look at her everday. But, you know what makes it better? Everytime I look at her, I picture you. She isn't that much different from you. I know you must've heard the things that I said about her when I was comparing you two. But, they were all lies. She's sweet, lovable, and she has a kind heart. She wouldn't be here if she didn't".

He was in tears now, and it was almost hard to understand him.

"I hope that you're looking down on us and smiling. I think about you everyday, and I still miss you. I love you, okay? Goodbye, Ashley". I walked over to him and grabbed his hand.

For the next 15 minutes, he just stood there and cried on my shoulder.

Niall POV

The flight from the UK to the US always irritated me. But, with Parker there it wasn't that bad. We talked whenever I wasn't asleep. She asked me how Megan was, and I told her how in love with her I was.

"Aww", she said, "I'm glad that you're happy".

The pilot announced that we would be landing soon. It was 10AM in the US right now, and our interview was at 12. We quickly got off the plane, and Paul drove us to the hotel. Parker had to be there earlier than us, so she took a cab. 

"How is Megan doing with Harry?", Louis asked.

"I think they're fine. They seemed cordial whenever I went over there".

"You and Parker seem pretty cozy", Liam pointed out, "what's going on there?" I shrugged it off.

"Nothing. We're just friends. I would never date her again".

"So, is Parker single?", Zayn asked, curiously. I turned and looked at him. He laughed.

"You had sex yesterday", Zayn said, "I didn't. I've always thought that Parker was cute. Is she single?"

"She is. Go for it, mate".

Louis rolled his eyes.

"You guys are a mess", he said.

All of us, including Paul, laughed. As soon as we got to the hotel, we put our stuff down, and got back in the car. Traffic was horrible in New York. But, we made it to the radio place just in time. Even though it was Parker interviewing us, she still had to have the manager oversee.

"Trust me, guys", she said, "get comfortable. I'm not going to ask you anything to make you uncomfortable. This will be easy. Just think of me as your friend". We agreed and got ready.
