***Erin’s point of view***
I clung to Lou Teasdale like a leech. Because if I clung to any of the boys, surely Harry would be nearby and I avoided him as much as possible. Harry plus my hung over state at the moment was not going to be a good condition.
Luckily, today was the day we all left America and arrive here to the U.K. and everyone was busy tending to their own stuff. I was going to stay with Lou Teasdale at her place in London with Tom Atkin and Lux since my mother and step-dad were away somewhere which I really didn’t bother to know. After all, I had basically moved out of there and I was working now.
“I can’t believe I’m in England,” I tell Lou who was double-checking Lux’s stuff as I was untangling myself from Google’s leash.
“You’ll love it here! I’ll take you shopping and sight-seeing and everything,” Lou tells me with a warm smile and I felt the excitement grow, trying my best to push away the sting that still lingered from Harry.
“That is…unless you’d want to go sight-seeing with someone else?” Lou says with a hint in her tone.
“Yeah I’ll call up Danielle or Eleanor to see if they’re free,” I reply with a thoughtful nod, liking the idea of being able to hang out with them.
“You know that’s not what I meant, silly girl,” Lou says, rolling her eyes at me and I bump my hip to hers playfully.
“I know but Lou, I don’t think a guy is in the picture for me right now. So soon. Or Ever,” I say, wrinkling my nose and Lou pats my shoulder comfortingly.
“Let’s go! Are you all set?” Paul asks us. We were all hanging around, gathering our luggage before we had to go out and face all the paps and the fans. ‘We’ being the boys, Lou Teasdale, Baby Lux, Caroline the stylist, the band, me, James, Paul, and the rest of the security personnel. And of course Google.
“Let’s do this!” Niall yells to the side and the rest of the people nod as Google starts to tug at his leash, eager to get a move on.
The group starts to move and I tug the handle of my trolley up but it gets jammed, leaving me turning around and tugging it firmly to get it up. When it was fixed, I turn back around, taking a step forward but then bump into someone’s chest.
“Crap sorry,” I say, stepping back and rubbing my nose.
“You alright?” I hear and the voice made the goosebumps rise on my shoulders.
I lift my eyes up, looking at the person and see Harry. It was the first time I was able to properly look at him so it was only now I saw his expressionless eyes, dark and heavy bags under them, his hair a total mess.
I feel my heart pang and curse at him and at myself. He wasn’t allowed to do that. He wasn’t. He makes me trust him, makes me fall for him, then he hurts me and now has my heart racing for him all the while being worried about his health?! He wasn’t allowed to and I hated that I loved him.
“Erin?” he says when I stay silent and I can’t take it anymore. He has to stop having this effect on me.
When I was a fan I always had ‘Harry feels’ but now I knew him to a personal level it was worse. That and he broke me. And I couldn’t anymore.
Without saying a word to him I drag my Google and my luggage behind me and walk away from him.
Again.
“Aye, where’s Google at?” Liam says jokingly, pretending to search the entire place when I catch up with the rest of the group, Harry behind me.
