Moment in Time. Harry Styles fan fiction

Chapter 22

“What are you doing?” I asked still half asleep. “How did you even get in here?”

“Max let me in with his key. I saw him in the hall.” My cousin explained.

“Why are here so early then?” I sighed finally sitting up.

“It’s ten am. Not that early.” She laughed.

“Grace.” I warned. She knew that I knew she wanted to tell me something. We knew each other to well. “What is it? Just tell me.”

Grace sighed deeply and sat beside me on my little bed. “Harry is freaking out to Niall and Louis in our hotel room so I left.” She told me.

“Why is he freaking out?” I asked standing up to put on real clothes.

“Because in case you’ve forgotten we’re in America.”

“So?” I asked as I tried to find my favourite sweater.

“So? We live in London and they work in London. We have to go back but he doesn’t want to leave you just as you’ve worked everything out.” She explained. I dropped the sweater and turned around to face my cousin.

“What? Crap how am I going to deal with this?!” I whined and crawled back onto my bed without still in my original pajamas.

“That my dear is why Harry is freaking out. We are supposed to leave tomorrow but he won’t leave without but as I’ve tried to explain to him you can’t leave here either.” Grace told me honestly. I stood up and finally put on real clothes before walking out of the dorm.

“Lauren?!” My cousin shouted. “At least wait for me!” She called and I heard her running from behind me. “Where are we going?”

“I need to talk to the student service center people.” I explained.

“Why?” She asked pulling me aside for an explanation before I could keep going.

“Because I love Harry.” I admitted. Grace looked at me still awaiting an answer she didn’t already know. “I need to be with him or the distance will ruin us. I’ll see if I can switch to a university over there or do it online or something. I need to figure something out.” I told her before she let me continue walking across campus.

An hour later I walked back out of the center and found Grace talking to a girl outside.

“Finally.” She exclaimed. “Where have you been?” She asked then turned to wave goodbye to the girl.

“I got it all figured out!” I beamed.

“So what’s happening?” She asked now just as excited.

“I can do the rest of the year online using video lectures and exams at oxford>” I smiled.

“Oh my gosh your coming back to London!” Grace screamed happily.

“I know but I won’t be coming for another two weeks.” I told her once she calmed down.

“Wait how well Max and William take it?” Grace asked suddenly concerned.

“Well Max was going to spend the next semester in New Zealand with an apprenticeship thingy so he would have left in two weeks anyways so think he’ll be thrilled but Will on the other hand…” I trailed off. “I don’t think he’ll be as pleased.”

“Why’s he going to New Zealand?” Grace asked getting off topic.

“Honestly I’m not really sure it was either New Zealand or Scotland but he has a cousin who lives over there who offered up a spare room.” I tried to explain. We started walking back across the campus to my dorm.
