hs: one shots

8. Forgotten?

Bye, I'll see you later." He says as he doesn't even bother to make eye contact with her.

She frowns. "What? Where are you going?"

He shrugs. "l don't know, probably somewhere out with the boys. "

"Oh. When will you be back?"

He scratches his head. "Maybe 6?"

She gives a slight nod and smiles at him as she hugs him goodbye. "Have a good time.'

He pats her back twice and then mutters a quick 'bye' under his breath before heading out.

She quickly looks up very exquisite meals that she could whip up for him when he got home.

She brushed it off, she let him have his space. Maybe he just didn't feel like it this morning. Maybe he didn't feel well.

She got done around 5:45. Perfect.

She ran to their shared bedroom and fixed her makeup and put on a nice dress with some new undergarments she recently purchased just for this night.

By the time she got done it was 6:05.

She got his present from the closet and tried to figure out where to put it so he would see it.

She just left it out in plain sight so he would find it. She put it right under the covers where he slept.

She didn't know what to do. She didn't know how to occupy herself so the dinner on She didn't know what to do. She didn't know how to occupy herself so she went ahead and set the dinner on the plates nicely and poured each of them a glass of wine.

She smiled and took a breath. She looked at the clock. 7:23.

She frowned and went to retrieve her phone from the bedroom. She dials his number and puts it up to her ear. It rings and rings but she gets no answer and that's when she starts to panic even more.

She opens his contact and sends him a text message.

To Harryxx: Hey, are you okay? Where are you?

7:26 p.m

To Harryxx: I'm getting worried, Harry. Do I need to pick you up from somewhere? 

8:34 p.m

She tries calling him again after 9 and when he doesn't pick up she calls one of the boys.

She quickly wipes away a tear from her cheek while the phone rings and rings.

"Hello?" Liam's voice rings through the phone and she smiles for the first time this evening.

"Liam! Liam, is Harry okay?"

"Uh..yeah, yeah he's fine. Why?"

She lets out a breath of relief. "Well he was supposed to be back home at around 6, I was just worried about him."

Liam sighs. "It's your anniversary. I wasn't going to say anything, but I wondered why Harry came over here when it was your day to celebrate. He forgot...Y/N, I'm so sorry.' 

She smiles through the tears and shakes her head. "It's okay, Li."

"No the fuck it's not. He's an asshole and he doesn't deserve your tears. Do you want me to kick him out?"

"No. No." She rushes. "Let him have a good time, I don't want him to be forced to come home, when he doesn't want to be here.'

"He said he would be home around 6 though. That pisses me off." He grits.
