Mitchelle’s POV
It’s been two weeks since Jess and I met the boys, and even worse, since I talked to Harry. I really thought he was going to keep his promise. I mean, he seemed sincere when he made the promise. After a week when I got no phone call, or even a text, I accepted that I could never talk to One Direction again. I was bummed, but luckily for me, I had a lot of preparing to do for my trip to England… and I’m still excited for the trip whether I get to see Harry and the guys or not. I had to get my passport ready, figure out what classes I was going to take, get my plane ticket, and obviously do a crap ton of shopping.
Finally, it’s the morning of my plane’s departure. I am so excited! I have never been out of the States before and I know I’m gonna have a good time. I packed my bags last night so all I have to do this morning is get dressed. I put on something comfortable because it was going to be a really long trip and once I’m dressed, I go downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast with my parents.
Mom: Hey, sweetie. You ready for the trip?
Me: Yeah, I can’t wait!
Dad: I can’t believe you talked us into letting you do this.
Me: Dad, I promise you I’ll be fine. You raised me right? I’ll be safe.
Dad: That’s what all the daughters say. Then they turn up missing…
Mom: Matthew! Don’t scare her. This will be a great experience for her.
The doorbell rings…
Me: I’ll get it!
I open the door and it’s Jess. I feel so bad… I see her crying before she throws her arms around my neck for a hug.
Me: Jess, I’m not gonna be gone that long!
Jess: Yes, you are! Mitchelle, how am I supposed to get through a whole semester without you?
Me: I promise you I will talk to you everyday… I’m serious, Jess!
Jess: I’m holding you to that…
After eating breakfast with my parents and Jess, it’s time to head to the airport. All I can think about is how excited I am to get on that plane and take off! This is my chance to start over… well at least for six months. But I have the opportunity to be anyone I want to be!
We get to the airport and Jess and my parents walk me to the gate. We say our goodbyes and we board the plane. There is nothing but a huge smile on my face, until I remember how much better it would be if Harry and I kept in touch.
Harry’s POV
The boys and I just finished our last concert of the American Tour in Florida. It was a great show! We did our traditional last concert outfit flip! I got to be the one and only Zayn Malik! It was so much fun but these last couple of weeks has been crazy! They boys and I have had no time to just hang out. It was that last push to the end of the tour and we have had interview after interview. I’m exhausted but it was worth it.
Anyways, tonight is our last night in America for awhile. While I’m bummed about it, I’m pretty happy at the same time. We had some good times here! Especially with Michelle and Jess. I haven’t talked to Michelle since we left. I figured I would mess with her head and make her wait it out for awhile. I know she’s gonna be mad, but it’s gonna make it so much better when the boys and I hit her up in England!
Louis: I cannot wait to get back to England! I miss Eleanor so much.
Liam: Same, as soon as we get back, I’m taking Sophia on a date that does gonna last like a whole week!
Me: Yeah, I miss my mum. I just wanna go visit her and sleep in my bed for awhile!
Niall: BORING! I’m gonna go back to Ireland and grab me a couple of pints! Maybe even get in a bar fight or two…!
Zayn: HAHAHA! Niall, I need you to make it back to us safe!
Niall: I’ll do my best, lad. (He laughs)
Louis: Harry, have you talked to Michelle at all since we saw them in DC?!
Me: Nope. (I chuckle) I was gonna text her when we got back to England!
Louis: WHAT?! She’s probably really upset about that, Harry!
Me: I’m playing with her head some! I’m making it so she’s gonna be real excited when she hears from me!
Liam: Wait, Harry. Do you like her? Like… like, like, like her?!
Me: NO! Why do you think that?!
Liam: Why play mind games with her if you’re keeping it friendly?
Me: Just for the fun of it… I don’t know! (I chuckle)
Louis: Mmmm, Harry! YOU’RE BUSTED!
Me: No! Stop! Don’t do that! I like how things are with her… I don’t want you guys messing it up with your accusations. We are just friends and it’s going to stay that way…!
Liam: ALRIGHT! Whatever you say, mate!
Louis: All I’m saying Harry is, don’t be surprised if she’s mad at you or had already moved on from that night. You promised you would text her and you do it three weeks later?
Me: She won’t be! She will be happy to hear from me… I hope at least! Whatever, you guys are over-thinking everything.
All the guys start looking at me clearly letting me know I made a bad decision, so I just leave the room annoyed. Why don’t they get it? I just want to be friends with her. GOOD FRIENDS. It’s not that weird I wanted her to miss me a lot… or is it?
Maybe I should text her. But now what if she doesn’t even respond?
All of a sudden, I’m incredibly nervous…!
