Summer Love
In The RV
Nats POV
Crystal was wearing yoga pants and a tank top, with a Jack Wills hoodie, as was I. It wasnt planned, though. We had just started driving, Harry and Louis in front. Crystle and I were in one of the booths in the back taking selfies. When we were done, Lou asked a very random question. "Hey, Crystle, can you sing?" He asked. I looked at her and wiggled my eyebrows. "I think she can sing." I said. I remember the time she sang "Want U Back" by Cher Lloyd, and I convinced her to tape it and put it on YouTube. Cher saw it, but that wasnt enough to convince her to pursue her dreams of being an international overnight succession. "SING SING SING SING!" Harry, Lou, and I chanted. She sighed. "What should I sing?" She asked. "I KNOW! "The Only Exception" by Paramore, you are amazing when you sing that song." I insisted. "Ok. I need some kind of beat." She said. "Hey Harry! Did you or Lou happen to bring an acoustic?" I said. Lou went to get one. "I can play quite a few songs." I said. "You are just so full of surprises." Harry said. I blushed. Lou walked up and gave me to guitar. I began to play, and Crystle began to sing:
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore
That she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
Maybe I know somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone.
Or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this
Keeping at comfortable distance.
And up until now I've sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
I've got a tight grip on reality,
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning
When you wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.
You are the only exception. [x4]
You are the only exception. [x4]
And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
"Wow, Crystle, that was beautiful." Lou said. "You are amazing. Both of you." Harry said. I smiled, Crystle just looked down. I started to play some backround music to "Rock Me", while Harry and Lou sang. "Harry, I love you, so so so much, But Lou, I have always loved your voice the most. Like I dont even no why. Its just like, almost childish. It awesome." I said. Harry made a pouty face. "Oh, shut up, Harry. You are the hottest with your dimples, and your hair, and your tattoos, and your muscles, and the fact that you dont smoke." I said, eyeing Lou. "Whatever. Zayn has tattoos and muscles." Harry said. "I know, but your muscles arent so, muscley, that i can grab your abs with one hand, you know?" I said to Harry. "True." He said, a smile forming on his face again. Lou turned on the radio and "Little Things" was on. I couldnt believe it. Why this song? I started crying my eyes out. "Its ok, Natalie. Shh, shh." Crystle comforted me. I just cried harder. I could feel Harry pulling over and stopping. "Whats wrong?" Harry asked, rushing over to me, Lou following behind him. "Turn off the radio! Turn it off!" Crystle yelled, and Lou did the same. "I cant believe you dont know, Harry. Let me talk to you outside... Louis, comfort Nat." Crystle said, and they rushed outside.
Crystles POV
I couldnt believe Harry didnt know about Maggie. I guess he needed to know. "Harry, when you left for the X-Factor, Nat and I had a third best friend, her name was Maggie. Her life wasnt the best... Her father abused her mother, her parents didnt make much money... Her father eventually killed her mother. Maggie always went to the girls bathroom and cried, and cut herself. With razors. She would come out of the bathroom with mascara running down her face. People bullied her. The song she always listened to was-" She couldnt take it anymore. Her voice cracked. She cried. "Her favoroite song was Little Things. And she commit suicide, Harry." She said between sobs. "Louis, get out here!" Harry yelled, opening the door. Louis walked out and Harry walked in.
Harrys POV
I walked in the RV, and Natalie was still crying. "Hey, listen. Look at me." I said, tilting her head up with my fingertips. "I love you Nat. Please stop crying." I said to her, putting a strand of hair behind her ear. She wiped her tears. "I love you too." She replied, and fell asleep in my lap.
