Harry Fanfic- The Story of Us.

Chapter twenty

CHAPTER TWENTY:

I must have fallen asleep for quite a while after I spoke to Harry about not wanting to leave because the next thing I know my Mum is shaking me.

'Wake up you two, dinner is on the table' She laughed, I buried my head into Harry's chest, I didn't want to get up, lying there with him was so peaceful. So simple.

'Come on baby' Harry whispered, I could feel his hot breath against my neck as his smooth words cascaded from his lips. I took a deep breath, taking in his scent, taking in this moment, this memory. Eventually I did get up, purely because I had to rather than that I wanted to. I walked downstairs and sat at the table with Harry, my Mum handed us dinner then left, she was off to some book club thing.

'Have you thought anymore about what you said to me earlier?' Harry asked once we were alone.

'I don't know, I mean even if I stay I won't go back to school, I'll go to college instead but that's something I can't do if I'm travelling with you and the boys the whole time' I replied, I was sure I wasn't going to go back to the same school I was at a few months ago, I hated it. It's not that I hated everyone, I obviously had my best friends there, but everyone else was just stuck up and mean and they think they're so cool. I figured, I hoped, that if I went to college the girls would be more mature at least. 

'Okay, I don't know babe. I know you want to go back to college and that it would be hard if you did it on the road with us but there must be something we could do, like get a tutor?' He suggested.

'I don't know Harry, I'm going to take a drive' I sighed and got up from the table, I quickly threw on my clothes before I left then got in the car. The car engined roared to a start and I carefully reversed it out of the driveway. I had no idea where I was going, I just kept driving and driving. The thoughts were all muddled up in my head as I tried to get them into an orderly line so I could think clearly, but everytime I tried they all got jumbled again. I slammed my hand against the steering wheel in frustration and stared at my lap. A loud beep snapped me out of my frozen state, the light had gone green and I hadn't realised, I put my foot down on the accelerater and carried on driving. I didn't stop until I ended up somewhere I didn't recognize at all, then I stopped the car. The world whizzed by around me as I sat with my knees up to my chest sobbing, I wasn't even sure why but I just couldn't keep all my emotions in anymore so I sat there crying like a baby.  I almost jumped out of my skin when my phone rang, I wiped the tears from my face and tried to steady my breathing.

'Hello?' I said.

'Hey, um where are you? Harry's so worried. we've been calling you for ages' Louis' sweet voice and  doncaster accent came thorugh my phone.

'Oh um sorry, I'm not really sure where I am, I was just driving and... Yeah' I answer, my voice still trembled slightly from crying but I hoped he wouldn't notice.

'Oh okay, come home please. We're all really worried about you' Louis pleaded.

'Um yeah okay, see you in 30 minutes' I told him. Exactly like I said I arrived home within half an hour. I took a deep breath as I opened the door, as soon as I did so Harry ran up to me and wrapped his arms around me tightly.

'I was so worried, don't ever do that again' his raspy voice whispered into my ear.

'I'm not going to leave again...' I said slowly.

*1 month later*

I grinned at my computer screen as Louis told me a silly joke on a twitcam he was doing from America, he could always make me laugh even when I didn't want to. I hadn't gone with the boys and I was back at college, I missed Harry so much it hurt but I knew I'd done the right thing.

'Oh Louis' I shook my head still giggling a little.

'Who you talking to?' Harry asked, I couldn't see him on the screen so he must have been in the other room.

'Your girlfriend' Louis smiled, he was joking since he was talking to about a million other girls too however he knew I was watching since I had tweeted him earlier.

'Cool bro, tell her my hand doesn't do me justice' Harry sighed, I widened my eyes in shock. Every  single person watching Lou's twitcam heard that and Louis just sat there in a hysterical laughing fit.

'Oh my gosh' he said breathlessy.

'What?' Harry asked confused at why that was so funny, he had said things like that before to Louis.

'I'm on twitcam and everyone heard that' Lou said,  I heard Harry take a sharp intake of breath.

'Oh my god...' he choked, this was probably one of the most awkward moments but the fans were loving it clearly finding it as hilarious as Louis did. I stopped watching after that and closed my twitter, the jokes to come were going to so funny but it was too much of a cringe for me.

I went out to the shop down my road to buy myself a magazine when a newspaper caught my eye.

I stared at the photo of Harry standing so close to this blonde girl and looking down at her smirking, I  see stuff like this everyday, it didn't usually bother me because I knew it wasn't true but I'd had the worst week ever, I was failing one of my classes, Cailey was barely ever around anymore and neither was Harry, I felt so alone.  About an hour later my phone rang and Harry's name came up on the screen.

'Hey you' I said, I was in my bathroom fixing my hair making sure it was exactly how I liked it.

'Hey babe, that twitcam was awkward' he found it funny, but more in a 'maybe if I laugh it off they won't notice' kind of way.

'Yeah it was' I replied simply.

'Yeah, so um I'll be home in a like a month for Christmas' he told me, I smiled to myself as I continued to stare into the mirror.

'That's exciting then hun' I was serious but I just wasn't in the mood for talking.

'What's up with you?' he asked, I just sighed. I missed him and it was getting to the point where we only talked every few days and I see newspapers about him being seen with another girl.

'We only talk like every few days Harry, and I've had a rubbish week at school along with those stupid newspaper articles.' I muttered,

'It's just the media making stuff up.' He tried to reassure me.

'Yeah, well what would I know about it anyway' I mumbled bitterly.

'Don't be like that come on' Harry cooed trying to calm me down.

'Whatever, I've got to go' I lied, I wasn't going anywhere.

 I didn't speak to him or any of the boys for the rest of the day, it wasn't the first time things like this have happened. I got up Saturday morning, I was excited because it was the half term so no college for me. I picked up the mail and saw a letter addressed to me, it was hand written on the front and stamped from America. I tore it open and pulled out a plane ticket with a note attached.

'I might not be able to come home but you can come here for a while. Maybe over the last month we've gotten lost in translation, or maybe I ask too much of you but I won't sit here knowing you're upset about all these things you read and that when you have a bad week I can't be there to hold you until it's okay again.'

'I can't take this' I muttered to myself and carried on reading

'I know you won't want to take this, but just take the damn ticket Lexi and don't be stubborn. I love you. -Harry xx'.

He knew me far to well.
