I wake up to some kids screaming. I realize I passed out on the pool chair. I look and see that there’s a blanket on me. When did that get there?! I look over and see Harry sleeping on a chair next to me. Awh. Did he sleep out here last night with me? Wait, I’m mad at him. I take the blanket off me and set it on the chair and walk inside. I check my phone and see that Sunny’s texted me. “Hey babe. So sorry, but they said my car won’t be fixed til next week. What happened with u and Harry? He called Tristen again last night and asked if u had called either of us.” I roll my eyes at the Harry part. “Found him w/ another girl. Don’t really wanna talk bout it. I’ll find my own ride home.” Right when the message sends, my phone dies on me. Great. Just my luck. The only choice I have now is to go up to the room and wait for Harry so he can take me back home. I get up to the elevator and see that I’m in Harry’s hoodie and my undies. Ugh. I forgot to wrap the towel back around me. Oh well, I’m almost to the room. I walk over to Harry’s door and notice that there’s a different body guard this time. I approach the door and he stops me in my tracks. “No one is allowed in this room except for who I’m told to let in.” “I’m with Harry.” “Look, I’m sorry Miss. But I can’t let you in unless I’m told by my boss to let you in.” I roll my eyes. “I guess I’ll just sit here and wait for him.” I’m so frustrated. I just want to go home. I kick the wall in anger and realize I’m barefoot. “OW.” Tears start streaming up in my eyes from the pain. “Are you okay Miss?” I ignore him and sit up against the wall in front of the body guard. I start to feel uncomfortable after a few minutes because I’m only in my underwear and my foots starting to swell up.. I hear the elevator open and a voice booms from it. “Look, I don’t know where she is. I was with her by the pool all night and-” He stops dead in his tracks. “CAR. There you are!” “I found her Sunny. I’ll call you back.” He runs over to me. “Why do you keep doing this, love? Running from me?” I ignore him and attempt to stand up. I guess I hide the pain in my foot really well. He looks at the body guard and says, “She’s with me.” “Sorry. I didn’t know. I wasn’t authorized to let anyone in besides you, Sir. She hurt herself pretty bad kicking the wall.” Great. I was doing so well hiding the pain too. Harry looks at me and he can notice now that I’m in pain. He looks at my foot and sees that it’s swollen. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?!” He carries me bridal style into the room and lays me on the bed. He grabs a pillow and props my swollen foot on it. I flinch at it. “Stay here. I’m going to get some ice from the restaurant down stairs.” He starts to walk away and turns back to me, “I mean it, don’t go ANYWHERE.” And he closes the door behind him.
I was flipping channel through the tv until I realized that I needed something longer to cover myself with. I slowly move my foot from the pillow and start walking to his suitcase. I pick up the long shirt I wore yesterday and pull it over my head. Man, I really don’t want to walk back to the bed. I decide to sit down on the chair in front of me. I hear the door open and see Harry come inside. He looks at me and shakes his head. “I told you not to move. You really don’t like being told what to do.” He comes over to me and carries me back over to the couch. “Here’s some ice for your foot.” “Thanks” I mutter at him. After my foot gets situated, Harry sits on the bed next to me. “Please explain last night to me. All of it.”
I don’t want to talk about anything right now. But he deserves an explanation. “I couldn’t stand there and watch you practically get seduced by another girl. So I ran out. I didn’t have money for a cab and I didn’t want to ask you to stay the night in your room. So I just slept on the poolside. Any normal thing a girl would do.” I stare at the tv. “Okay, for one, that gym trainer was not trying to seduce me. She was helping me stretch out my legs. I was trying to give you a space. So my plan was to run on the treadmill until I thought you had enough time. But I ended up pulling a muscle after 45 minutes. The trainer took me into a room to help me relax my leg. And for two, a normal girl would have asked me what was going on instead of assuming.” I don’t know if I believe him. I don’t want to. “Car, look at me. I’d never hurt you. Physically or mentally. I meant it when I said it last night too. Please believe me.” I look at him and see that he’s gazing at me. “I believe you. I’ve never been in a relationship before. I don’t know how to act or what to do. I don’t understand why you chose an ordinary girl like me.” He grabs my hand. “You are far from any ordinary girl to me, love. You’re EXTRAordinary. And I fancy you, a lot.” I smile. “I fancy you too.” “Are we okay then?” He looks at me full of hope. “Yes, we are.” He kisses me on the forehead and looks at me. “You still haven’t told me everything about last night, you know.” I close my eyes. I was hoping he’d forget. “You don’t have to talk about it now, love. Let’s just watch some tv and relax. We both had a rough night.”

I love you. I can’t live without you. Please don’t leave me. I wake up with my heart racing. Why do I keep having this dream? I don’t remember anything from it, except for those words. I see that Harry’s sleeping next to me and I smile at how cute he looks while sleeping. I hear a buzzing noise and know that it’s not my phone since it’s dead. I slowly get up from bed and notice that my foot feels much better. I walk over to the table and look at the caller ID “Louis”. I decide to answer.
“Hello.”
“Hey, this isn’t Harry. Where’s Harry?”
“Hey, Louis. It’s me, Carter. Harry’s sleeping right now.”
“Oh, so are you two cool now? I can’t keep up. Last night he texted me saying you ran off on him.”
“Uh, yeah. Just some misunderstanding and assuming.”
“Well, you know what assuming does. It makes and ASS out of U and ME. Hahaha, get it?
I roll my eyes at his corny joke. But, I have to admit it was a good one.
“Yeah, I get it Louis. Did you need anything?”
“I was just gunna call Harry and ask him if he was still on for coming to the trip to Hawaii with me and the boys next week?” My heart drops.
“Why wouldn’t you guys be?”
“Because he said he didn’t want to leave you since you guys were doing really good. He wants to spend as much time with you before we leave for the tour again. But then he said that you ran off last night so I didn’t know if he had changed his mind or not.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, really.”
I don’t want to be the reason to keep him from Hawaii and his friends. He only gets 2 weeks off before he tours again.
“Yeah, he is still on board for Hawaii.”
“Are you sure? Did you even ask him?”
“No. But I’m not gunna let him skip Hawaii just to be with me. He needs to be with his best buds.”
“Okay. You’re the boss. Thanks Carter. The rest of the boys were kind of a bit bummed that Harry said he wasn’t gunna go. We really need this time together.”
“No problem Louis. I gotta go before Harry wakes up.” I hang up.
“Harry, wake up. I’m starving.” I look at the clock and see that it says noon. “5 more minutes.” He mutters. “Okay, you have 5 more minutes.” I walk to the bathroom and decide to take a shower.
Once I step out of the shower, I realize that there are not towels. Shit. I open the bathroom door and peek out, I see Harry still sleeping. I slowly walk towards his suitcase and start rummaging through it looking for a towel. “What are you doing?” says a soft voice. I jump up from the surprise. I turn and see Harry sitting up rubbing his eyes. I run to the bathroom before he can get a good look at me. I still didn’t get a towel. “Uh, Harry..” “Yes, love.” “I’m sorta in a pickle.” I hear him chuckle. “And what kind of pickle are you in? Dill?” “Very funny. I decided to take a shower and forgot a towel. I was looking through your suitcase for a towel. Do you have one?” I hear him move around a bit and a few seconds later he knocks on the bathroom door. “Room service.” I crack it open and take the towel from his hands. “Thanks.” “No problem.” The towel smells amazing. I wipe myself off and put on the old t-shirt again. Okay, I really need to get some clothes. “So, what are we doing today?” “Well, I’ve got to take you home. Me and the boys have an interview today and then a meet and greet at some mall.” I get a little sad. I was hoping to hang out with him again. I love being around him. “Okay. I’m starting to forget that I own pants anyways.” He laughs at me. “We can eat some lunch and then I’ll take you home.”
I ordered a salad for lunch. I really have been slacking on eating healthy. We talk about him and the boys most of the time. He says that Louis is probably the one who knows him the best. I decide that it’s the perfect time to bring up Hawaii. “So, do you and the boys have anything planned for next week?” “No. Not at all. I was just planning on hanging out with you before we leave for tour. I don’t know what the boys have planned though.” “Harry, cut the bullshit.” He looks up at me from eating his food. “Excuse me?” “I know about Hawaii. Louis called this morning when you were sleeping.” “What’d he say?” “he told me how you were gunna bail on the boys to hang with me. I think you should go. I told him you would go.” “What? Why the hell would you do that?! I see the boys 365 days a year and we’re about to go on tour together. I’ve seen them enough.” “I doubt you know anything about them though. You guys need this time to bond. Without all the fans and paparazzi. And plus, next week I’ll be back in school. You wouldn’t get to see me much.” He thinks about it. I push at the topic even more. “Please go. For me.” “Okay, okay. I’ll go. But I promise to call you every day.” “Alright. So needy.” I joke.

The car pulls up to the dorm parking lot and Harry and I get out. “Thank you for the past couple of days Harry. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.” “I would do it all again just to spend more time with you.” My hearts melts. “You should better get going, it’s a long drive back and you have plans today.” “Yeah, you’re right.” We look at each other for a moment. And Harrys leans in and kisses me. I think this might be the most passionate kiss we’ve ever had. I think it’s because we don’t know when the next time we’ll see each other again. I pull back before I start getting emotional. “Bye Harry.” “Bye, love.” And he steps into the car and drives off.
