Taking On The World (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

'Tis The Season To Be Harry

Ava’s P.O.V. 

The three days I spent in bed were pretty awful. I was so bored I thought I was going to die. I never got sick again, but I had fever up until the second night. By day three, I was almost completely better. Everyone came in to check on me. Hazel and Ellie never really left my side. They said didn’t really like the idea of leaving me alone. 

The boys came in quite often. Louis made sure that every time he came in, he made me laugh. Niall helped to. There was one incident where Louis, Niall, and Harry were supposed to be the Three Stooges. Then they brought Zayn in, and started to pick on him. So Zayn got Liam, and Liam got onto the boys. Then Louis took my hairbrush and threatened to hit Liam upside the head. Ellie, Hazel, and I were crying because we were laughing so hard. 

Every night, once everyone was in bed, Niall would sneak in my room, and crawl in bed with me. I was glad he did. I was starting to think I couldn’t sleep without him beside me. 

After my three days of bed rest were up, I felt better than I had the entire time we’d been in England. I got up bright and early that morning of December 19th, and popped right out of bed. I woke Ellie and Hazel up. We decided that do to do some Christmas shopping. 

We decided to get the guys one present from the three of us, and then Hazel and I would get another gift for Zayn and Niall. Then we talked to the boys about getting Simon one big gift from all of us. 

When we returned that day, we had gotten all of the guys’ gifts. We got Liam a pair of black Converse All Star shoes. We got Louis three packs of Yorkshire Tea, and some new tea cups. We got Zayn a new pair of Beats headphones, and Hazel got him a new varsity jacket. We got Harry a new blazer (I suggested censor signs since he has a habit of getting naked). Then we got Niall a $50 gift card to Nando’s, and I got him a gigantic, plush giraffe. We hid part of the gifts in Hazel’s room, part in Ellie’s room, and part in my room. 

As I finished putting everything away, there was a knock on the door.

“Enter!” I yelled. 

I expected it to be Hazel, Ellie, or even Niall. But I was a little shocked to see Harry standing there. 

“Hi Harry,” I said, shutting the closet door. 

“Hiding the presents?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. 

“Maybe,” I said, teasingly. 

Harry grinned cheekily. 

“I promise not to look.” 

I smiled, and plopped onto my bed. 

“So what can I do for you, Curly?” I asked. 

Harry chuckled quietly, then his face hardened. 

“Can I ask you something?” he said. 

I nodded. 

“Anything.” 

Harry was quiet a moment. He put his hands together, and shook them slightly. 

“It’s about Ellie,” he said eventually. 

I nodded. I figured he would eventually try to get Ellie again. At least he came to someone else instead of just going straight to her. 

“She…seems a bit distant of me and the lads. Even more than she has before. Is everything okay with her?” 

I sighed. I knew Harry really cared for Ellie, but I wasn’t sure how much I could tell him, if I could tell him anything at all. 

“I’m not really sure how much I can say,” I said.
