TOUR [ H.S ]

78. Moving On & Unexpected Projects.

Katie:

5 months.
It has been 5 whole months since i've seen or heard from Harry.
He told me he'd come back to see me but..he never did.

***

I spent the last 5 months figuring out what i had done wrong and until this day,i was still clueless.I haven't heard from Jeff,Mitch,Adam or Sarah about why Harry hasn't come back to visit me or at least made the initiative to communicate me.

Complete silence.

It devastated me,i figured i would give it some time when we were two weeks in without any sort of communication but after those weeks passed,absolutely nothing from him.

I already knew that he didn't want to do anything with me and the only person that was there to comfort me was Anne,thats right..my ex boyfriend's mother.I felt so fucking embarrassed that on the night i realised he had left me,the first place i went to was Anne's.I remember how hard i was sobbing when i walked up to Anne's front porch,her comforting arms wrapped around my shoulders the moment she opened the door.The both of us sitting down on the front porch for a solid one hour crying,it was a big mess.

A big fucking mess.

Harris and I had finally finished the final pieces for the Harris Reed clothing collection and we were going to have a launch party next week,at least i had something to look forward to.The team and i have worked astonishingly hard for this clothing line and i'm so grateful that my name will also be included in this collection,i've sacrificed so much of my time to be involved in this.

I've also been travelling so much these past few months and it was so hard not being able to spend time with Alex but the moment i came back home..it felt so nice and reliving to just be reunited with my baby.Anne was still offering to take care of Alex because she's just the loveliest human and she refused to leave me.It was kind of odd,well at least for me because Harry and i weren't even socialising anymore but Anne,Gemma and i were still close as ever.

Does that sound weird? Spending time with your ex partner's family?

"Yea yea for sure i'll discuss it with her,thanks a lot.I'll definitely get back to you."said Harris on the phone,writing some things down on the notepad.

"Who's that ?"i asked him curiously as i continued to organise the pictures on the mood board in front of me,"Oh um it's a new project..we can talk about it when you're not busy."he answers nervously and i raised an eyebrow at him.

why was he acting all nervous?

"Harris,i'm barely doing anything right now besides organising our mood boards.I have some time to kill,now come here and talk to me love."i said,letting out a chuckle and he nodded his head,taking a seat in front of me.

"So what's up? Already on to a new project when we just finished the Harris Reed collection,totally not exhausting at all."i joked and Harris lets out a light chuckle.

"I-i was on the phone with Alessandro actually.."mentioned Harris and i gasped,Alessandro has never called us before.

He was the main designer for Gucci and the fact that Harris was on the phone with him?? He was interested to do a project with us? fuck fuck fuck

"Oh my god! Harris this is huge,what was the call about? What did he want?"i asked excitedly and he had a small frown on his face.

why wasn't he feeling as excited as i was?

"There's an artist who is um-going on tour in 2020 and well this artist also has upcoming promo's coming very soon and they're looking for eccentric unique clothing pieces."explained Harris and i clapped my hands happily,this was our big moment.

"That's fucking amazing! S-so what is this artist's style like?"i asked,already getting ready a pen and paper to plan the project.

"Kat.."said Harris softly with a slightly worried look on his face.
"Oh is it flamboyant like?or is it more on the masculine si-"i rambled on but immediately stopped talking the moment i noticed the serious look on Harris's face.

What?

"Kat,we've been asked if we could design pieces for Harry."

No one has mentioned his name to me ever since he had left me,not even Anne did.Hearing his name come out of Harris's mouth made everything seemed so much realistic now,he had left me.I had this thorny feeling forming in my throat,my face was emotionless and my stomach twisting in knots as i thought about all the memories we had shared.

I felt humiliated and enraged.

"Katie,i-i'm so sorr-"apologised Harris,"Don't be." I said,cutting him off and he looked at me,a small frown forming on his face.

How fucking dumb of him to ask us to design his clothing pieces when he left me like as if i was nothing to him? Who the fuck does he think he is?

"Harris,he had absolutely no right to ask us.He knows that i'm working with you and it's like he purposely wants to hurt me even more."i ranted out,throwing my pen harshly against the wooden table.

"I get that you're upset and hurt and i totally agree with you Kat,i really do.I can just call Alessandro and tell him that we are going to cancel this project."he says seriously this time and i sat back,rubbing my forehead out of stress and really thinking about it.

I'm furious.
I felt like punching the living the hell out of him for doing what he had done.
I want to scream at him.

But this was my job,I have to deal with this in order to support Alex and myself.I don't give a flying fuck that Harry is providing Alex with everything he needed because i'm doing things on my own as well.I don't give a shit that he's richer than me,because as long as i know that i'm doing my job..i can provide Alex and myself with anything we needed.Harry was still banking in a huge amount of money into my account and i don't even understand why he was even doing that when we weren't even dating anymore.In fact,none of us had made it clear that we had broken up.There was no communication about it at all,that's why everything felt so confusing to me.

As much as i hated the absolute thought of designing clothes for Harry,i couldn't risk getting a bad name for Harris and the rest of the team in the fashion industry.The both of us have worked through blood,sweat and tears in order to finalise the whole Harris Reed collection,we could never let an opportunity like this go to waste.We needed the recognition for the work we do and if Harry's platform were to help us get it,we are going to do it regardless of everything that has occurred.

"Call Alessandro and tell him the project is on."i broke the silence.

Harry Edward Styles,
That motherfucker.
