WHEN WE WERE 18

Final Project

After spending a week with his family, Harry went back to NYC. He didn't show up for about two weeks. He wrote some stuffs which he has to discuss with the other lads. He called them in his apartment.

*At Harry's apartment*

" So this is the final one? " Liam asked.

" I think these are perfect . " Niall added.

"So let's tell them we're done with the lyrics."

" Hmm " Harry added. " This is the first and the last time we're doing this without him." Harry sighed looking outside the window.

" Yeah, I miss him." Niall said almost crying.

"I do, the most.", Harry said looking at the window. He didn't realise when tears started dropping from his cheeks.

Liam went to Harry and patted him at his back softly saying, " It'll be alright Harry, Don't cry mate. We all miss him. And I know one day it'll all be okay between us. "

"I don't know what I'd do without him. How can someone be so selfish? I-I supported him whatever decision he took. But this time Left me alone Liam. Did he take the right decision?" Harry's voice cracked. He couldn't even talk properly due to crying day and night.

" We still have the recording left Harold. And you got your voice this bad already. " Louis said sarcastically. But the sarcasm didn't really cracked there.

Harry suddenly stood up.
"Have you told them about the contract thing? " He asked.

" Yes, they said they'll meet us at the studio after a week." Liam replied to Harry's question.

" One week? Why so late?"

" Actually there are some other works maybe. But you don't worry we'll take care of our thing. We'll get out of this soon. I promise. "

" But, what about our millions of fans?"
" They'll be heartbroken." Niall got emotional.

" They don't know what we go through. Niall, you're right they'll be heartbroken. But if they really love us, they'll understand us. And I know it." Louis added.

" This conversation is getting way too emotional. Let's change the topic guys. What about going to dinner tonight? Yeah? We didn't have fun for the last few months." Liam said trying to cheer them up.

"Liam, no one here is ready to have fun right now. We're not in that condition." Louis said.

" But if you say I'm ready to go for dinner. Alone. "
Niall added.

" Stop it Niall, we're not letting you go alone. We'll be there too." Liam said.

" If you say, umm okay then. I'll join too. Maybe it'll just pull out the stress. " Louis said.

" Harry? Shall we invite you specially to speak something? " Louis asked looking at Harry.

" No. I'm not going. " Harry replied .

" Yeah, I know what'll you do. You'll sit back and watch the acceptance speech of Zayn at the ASIAN AWARDS right?" Liam said roughly.

" No-no. I'll not do that. "

" You've been doing this for the last 3 f**king days Harry." Louis hissed.

" Can you just stop doing this to me? Just leave me alone! I don't want to talk to any of you. Just go. Go." Harry screamed.
"Go!" Harry started crying again.
He didn't knew how to console himself. He just knew he needed Zayn by his side. The only person who understood him. The only person who knew the 'real' him.
