Not So Typical

Chapter 25

"The black tie or the grey one, Mel" he asked stumbling out of his closet with different articles of clothing laid across both of his arms.

"Either one is fine, dear" I said back quietly.

He nodded and then disappeared back into the closet and only the rustling of hangers and his grumbling could be heard. I sat there trying to process all that had happened, it seemed that just within in a few days our relationship had jumped forward ten years and it was just a lot to take in. I needed to see my girls and just talk it all out, but we didn't seem to have time for that.

I was pulled from my head as Harry's bedroom door swung open and slammed into the wall.

"Harry! Mate! Where ya been, we haven't seen you for days" Zayn yelled walking in, not even noticing me sitting on the bed.

"Hi Zayn, Mya" I said smiling and making my presence known.

"Oh, hey Mel" Mya said offering a kind smile, Zayn nodded in my direction.

Harry came out of the closet with more clothes on his limbs and an empty duffel bag slung over his shoulder.

"Hey guys" he said quietly sitting the bag down and beginning to fold the various clothing items he had deemed necessary to bring back to London.

"Moving out are ya to go live with this cute bird" Zayn said laughing and playfully Harry on the shoulder.

"Mum died" he said calmly not even looking up from the jeans he was folding.

The room went dead silent, Zayn nor Mya knew what to say but tears began streaming down both of their faces. I had forgotten that they had known Harry his whole life until now, I'm sure they were taking this just as hard.

I broke the silence. I couldn't take this feeling anymore, I needed to breathe for a bit.

"Harry, are you going to be okay for a little bit? I need to get out and breathe, maybe go see Kate and Elsa for dinner" I asked quietly while Zayn and Mya consoled each other.

"I think are you okay is a better question" he asked pulling me to my feet.

"I'm gonna be fine, this is just a lot. I don't wanna leave you alone though if you need me" I replied rubbing my fingers along the back of his hand.

"I can manage a few hours without you, go see the girls, I'll finish packing and break the news to the rest of the lads and meet you at your place later, yeah?"

I nodded and smiled and then let Harry pull me to his chest.

"I love you" I said into his chest as he pressed his lips to the top of my head.

"I love you too" he said softly with a smile.

With that I grabbed my purse and my coat, rubbed Zayn and Mya on their shoulders, and made my way downstairs and into the street. I reached into my back pocket for my phone and typed in Kate's number from memory.

"Can we go get food, there is a lot to tell" I breathed into the phone.
