The Contract

24

Harry's POV

It's hard enough getting over someone when you weren't around them. It was even harder getting over someone when you are in their constant social sphere. Georgia was my whole life before this whole mess. She was still my whole life after this mess. She was everywhere. She was in my dreams. She was in my head. She was in my heart. I could feel her near me when she wasn't. I could smell her next to me when I slept even though I spent every night alone. I had fucked things up royally when I cheated on her. I cheated and I ruined things. But we had a chance to fix things. Just when she was about to forgive me something else had to come in our way with the loss of the baby.

And I had to ruin things then too. I had to go and blame her to the point where she was so withdrawn from me and from everyone else she was literally a shell of her former self. I don't know what was wrong with me. I loved her, didn't i? Of course I did. I loved her so much I had to leave her. I had to stop hurting her because that was all I kept doing. I had to leave her because in the end I would only end up hurting her more. I had to leave her. But I couldn't leave her alone. Even now, I was still invading her spade. I confused her just as much as I confused myself and I could tell by her shocked looked on her face that she had no idea why I kept doing the things I did. I had no clue why I kept doing the things I did.

"Hey," she greeted me. I could hear the surprise in her voice.

"Hi, baby," I bent down to press a soft kiss to her lips and felt her trepidation through her lips and her body language as she awkwardly kissed me back.

The fans were still surrounding Louis and somehow had yet to notice me which surprised me.

Tina glanced from me to Georgia before sighing. "Can we go to the hotel now, please? I'm exhausted."

Georgia nodded. I reached down and slipped my hand in hers. She shot me a pained look before glancing away to where Louis was.

"Can you take Tina to the car while I get Louis?" She asked quietly.

I nodded. "Yeah, we'll meet you outside. Don't be long."

I let my hand linger in hers for another moment before she slipped it out of my grasp and walked away towards Louis.

"Harry, I am so excited to be in Thailand with you and Gee and everyone else. This is going to be an amazing holiday! What do you guys have planned for me tonight?"

I chuckled. "Tina. We have a show tonight but I'm sure we can arrange something for afterwards. The Neighbourhood is touring with us for this leg of the tour. Did you know that?"

Georgia's sister sighed dramatically. "No! How could Gee fail to mention that? I absolutely adore Jesse Rutherford! He's so delicious."

I grimaced as I handed the driver Tina's heavy suitcase. And at her mention of Jesse. Georgia had been spending all of her time with either Jesse or Louis.

That thought made my blood boil. But it was all my fault she was turning to other people. I had pushed her away. I had told her I didn't want her anymore so why would she want to be around me? She only was when I forced myself around her or did weird things like this and show up randomly. That confused the hell out of her I was sure. I wondered if she knew I was with her last night. If she did she hadn't said anything about it.

"Harry?" Tina shook me once we got into the car and waited for Georgia and Louis.

"What?" I snapped out of my crazy thoughts.

"I said, can you introduce me to Jesse?" She asked.

I shrugged. "Sure, I'll see what I can do." Wow. Georgia really hadn't told her anything. They had a lot of catching up to do.
