That's What Happens(Sharry Trilogy Book2)

Use Somebody

Shai's POV

"ShaiShai!" Justin exclaims when I get out of the limo. He holds his arms out and I hug him. "Good to see you again." he whispers against my neck.

"Yeah," I choke out. What else could I say?

"Well come on inside, I'll show you your room." he says and takes one of my bags and we walk into his house. If you could call it that. Mansion was a better word.

"Nice house." I say and he laughs.

"Thanks," he says and we walk up the stairs. "And here is your room." he says and opens a door. Big room. Really big room.

"Wow," I say and he walks in and sets my bag on the bed.

"You have your own bathroom, walk in closet, um, fridge, tv, the usual." he says and I chuckle.

"Yeah there is a walk in closet mini fridge and flat screen tv in my room at home, and all my friends' houses." I say and he laughs.

"Sorry, I'm nervous." he says and looks away. This was going to be interesting, staying here at his house, recording with him all the time, for the next five or six months. "And I just made things awkward."

"No it's fine," I say and start messing with my ring.

"That ring, you always have it on and play with it." he says and I look at it.

"Yeah, I guess so." I say and then there is a really awkward silence.

"Well I uh, could show you around the house if you want. We have about thirty minutes until we have to go to the studio." he says and I nod.

"Ok yeah."

Justin's POV

I. Was. A. Loser. No other way to say it. I just was. Why? I was never this stupid or awkward with girls. Maybe it was because Shai was different, or because I knew it was wrong. Did she realize what she did to me when she swept her hair out of her face? Or how beautiful she was as she gazed out the window? The drive is fairly quiet with just the sound of music playing.

We get to the studio and of course there is paparazzi here. Oh joy. Shai and I get out of my car and I run around the side and put my arm around her waist, guiding her. I hold my other hand out and try to cover my face. We make it inside and turn down the hallway before stopping.

"Paps are worse here than with Harry." she says. Yeah, cause I was better, I think to myself.

"Yeah, well today we will go over your contract. If you understand and agree to everything then it's a go and we start picking songs tomorrow." I say and she nods. "Ok let's go." we walk into the conference room and Scooter stands to greet us.

"Shai, how are you?" he asks hugging her.

"Great, excited." she laughs.

"Don't be. Now did Justin explain this to you?" he asks.

"Yeah he did." she answers and looks at me.

"Well lets get started!"

Shai's POV

"Nothing is hidden in the fine print. I promise, what you see is what you get. Three full records, and then we'll figure out other things. We wouldn't regularly do this but Justin feels that you will be so successful, and we have nothing to lose." Scooter says and I re read the contract for the thousandth time. Three CDs. Could I handle that? Did I want that?

"So I just, sign here?" I ask slowly, pointing to the blank line on the last page.

"If you agree." Scooter says. "I'll give you two a few minutes to talk alone." he says and leaves. I stare at the line thinking about my future.

"Shai, c'mon. This is all you've ever wanted right? You get to sing and get paid for it. You'll be famous for doing what you love." Justin says and I look at him.

"This is a lot to take in Justin, I don't know." I say and he reaches over and puts his hand on my knee.

"But it's worth it. Trust me, I wouldn't lie to you Shai." he says, his eyes sincere.

Before I know what's happening, my name is on the paper in front of me and Justin is spinning me around.

"Oh Shai! This is going to be so wonderful!" he exclaims.

"I'm guessing she agreed." Scooter laughs walking back in.

"Yes!" I shout and Shai laughs. Shai was on a three record contract with me. Only one thing could make me happier, and that could happen soon...

Harry's POV

"And hello we are back once again, with One Direction. How are you boys?"

"Fantastic." Louis says.

"Oh yes, you were just married weren't you?"

"Yes he was, and the wedding was beautiful." Niall answers.

"And the rest of you. How are your girlfriends?" why did the interview start out with this?

"Wonderful." Zayn smiles.

"Yeah what Zayn said." Liam laughs.

"Yup." Niall says and they turn to me.

"I saw some pictures of you and your girlfriend Harry. What's her name? Shai." the interviewer asks and my heart sinks. "I think you were at the airport."

"Yeah." I say, my voice cracking. "She was going home."

"And where does she live again?"

"Wyoming." Louis answers for me.

"And is everything ok? You seem upset." god why didn't he just shut up?

"Yeah, I just miss her a lot." I say.

"We all do. Shai is a great friend to all of us. We also miss Sarah and Kaitlynn." Liam says.

"But you guys are with Danielle and Eleanor all the time so you don't miss them."

"We still miss them. I mean we haven't seen them in.. Oh wait three hours." Niall laughs.

"Well how about we move to other questions now." the interviewer says and we do. Two hours later we are driving home. I'm staying with Niall for the night and I'm getting ready for bed when he comes in the room.

"Harry, you're getting a Skype call." he says handing me my computer. Shai. I accept the call and see her smiling face.

"Harry." she says.

"Shai, how are you?" I ask and she shrugs.

"Busy." she says and turns around "Okay give me a minute." she turns back to me.

"Are you having fun?" I ask.

"Yeah, everything is great. The songs, the town, and Justin is hilarious." jealousy threatens to spill over. "But I would rather be with you."

"Babe I miss you so much." I did. More than anything.

"I wish you didn't have such a busy schedule do you could visit."

"Maybe I will. Sometime." I say and she smiles.

"Shai come on, Scooter says he has- Oh hi Harry." Justin waves coming into view.

"Hi Justin." I say and feel like throwing my laptop at the wall when he puts his arm around Shai.

"Looks like I have to go. I love you." Shai says.

"Love you too." I say and wave then she ends it. "Bye." I say to myself. I couldn't get the feeling of envy away. The feeling just kept eating at me. But was there really a reason?
