Red Sparks

Chapter 57: Last Goodbyes 2.0

Jane’s POV

I sighed deeply and buried my head on Harry’s chest. The party they planned for me was splendid and most importantly, it was simple! Everyone was there! Andy, Zaina, Jennifer, Lynndra, Paul Higgins, bodyguards and of course the boys were there. I was in the car now, with Harry and the boys, on the way to the airport. Harry had surprised me, saying that he and lads were going to be flying with me and that they had upgraded my seat to the VIP so I can sit with them. I snuggled closer to Harry. He looked down and kissed my forehead. “Get some rest love” he said smiling. I nodded and looked ahead. My mind flashed back to the party, as the plane started to take off.

“Surprise Jane!” I heard as soon I walked into the house. I jumped back in surprise and everyone laughed. I blushed and took a few steps forward and greeted everyone. Harry came up to me with an apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry I haven’t gone out with you since last week, or replied your texts, and your calls. My phone hasn’t been with me and we’ve been –” he went on, but I shut him up by kissing him. He pulled me closer and kissed me back. I’ve missed his kiss, it was always warm, and it always gave me a jolt of electricity when we kissed. He slowly pulled away from me and put his forehead against mine. We gazed into each other eyes. We were about to lean in for another kiss when we heard someone coughing loudly. I looked to my right and saw the boys and girls smirking at me. “Get a room!” Louis teased. I saw Harry shot him a look, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “I’ve missed that laugh!” Harry said as he squeezed my shoulders gently. The others were heading towards the pool and we followed behind them slowly, taking our sweet time.

“What have you been doing babe?” Harry asked, as he linked his arms with mine. “Just been heading towards the music store, and walking Buster” I replied. I hugged his arm, afraid I wouldn’t be able to do this once they head back to England. I figured that they would have a tour as soon as they head back to England since they’ve been on a break for almost six months, ever since they were replaced for that reality show. “I’m going to be right here with you Jane. I’ll never leave you” he said, interrupting my thoughts. Great, I thought, now my boyfriend can read my thoughts. I smiled and hugged his arm tighter. When we reached the pool side, I gasped. It was beautiful! They had strung a few colorful lanterns around the pool area, food was already cooking on the grill, everyone was laughing and talking with one another; and in the middle of it all there stood a poster with loads of photographs and notes stuck on it.

I grew curious and went towards it. I felt tears coming to my eyes when I reached it. It was a compilation of photographs of us, not just me and Harry, but with the others as well. Photographs taken when we were camping, our dates, the concert, every photo was creatively compiled into the poster. There were messages from every one of them, wishes of good luck, and quotes of wisdom. I knew it was Andy who did the compilation; she had a knack for art.

The rest of evening was filled with fun activities, with the classic games that I have seen on television. Games like pin the karaoke-on-the-celebrity, piñata, and balloon bust. Normally it would have been cheesy, but it was great fun! Though the balloon bust game ended with all the guys putting balloons under their clothes and pretending they were pregnant women. “Help Paul! We’re pregnant!!!” Louis joked, as he walked around the pool side slowly. Lynndra managed to sneak a few shots of them doing so, unbeknownst to the boys. All the girls had copies of the photos, even Paul.

I chuckled as I took out the photo and glanced at it. I felt Harry flinched and I looked down. He was laying his head on my shoulder now, fast asleep. He looked so sweet and adorable when he’s asleep, I said to myself quietly. I kissed his forehead and looked through the photographs. I fingered the photograph of me and the girls, laughing by the pool side. We were talking about what paths we would take for our future. Lynndra had told us that she’s putting up videos of herself singing in YouTube, Jennifer wanted to be a veterinarian, while Andy and Zaina still had one year of school left. However, Andy wanted to be a fashion designer specializing in clothes for girls that wanted to be feminine, but didn’t like to wear dresses. “I will never, I repeat never ever, wear a dress!” Andy exclaimed. I noted that she had emphasized on the word never. Zaina hadn’t decided yet what career she would do, but I had noticed that she had a talent for singing; and so did the others. So we encouraged her to do videos and upload it to YouTube, and send a CD to James Port, a renowned music producer. “Why don’t we do it together Lynn?” Zaina suggested. Lynndra hesitated. “DO IT!” Andy exclaimed loudly. Lynndra gulped and Jennifer shot Andy a look. “Sorry!” Andy said, smirking at us. “Okay. Let’s do it” Lynndra said softly. “Alright!” Zaina said, as she high fived Andy.
