Goodnight Moon.
I had a plan.
Harry's POV.
After our shower I drove Ashlynn to the office where she went to tell Don about her loss. I stayed down stairs in my car with Jayci when I pulled my phone out after a buzz revealing a new email from Simon.
'Back to NYC tomorrow, your flight leaves at 10AM. You'll be back in London tomorrow evening. Studio work on Thursday for Harry and Louis. Liam, Zayn, Niall; you boys have Friday and you have off till next Thursday. Enjoy this time. Things are about to get quite busy.'
"What's wrong with you?" she asked.
"Nothing. Why?"
"Do you always look that frustrated when you read things or are you like Ashlynn and have really bad astigmatism?" Jayci asked noticing the frustration that was in my face. I wanted to be there with Ashlynn when she went home..but i just don't think she wanted me there. "Harry..speak words. What is your deal?" she asked being the persistent person she was.
"Do you think she needs me to go home with her?" I asked the question to her best friend sitting in the back seat. She sat back and thought for a bit before answering.
"No..I don't think she needs you there.." Ouch. "I'm sure she would like to have you there but I think she's afraid of scaring you away with this situation. It's going to be a lot and she is probably going to lose her mind this week. So it just depends if you can handle seeing her like that. " She told me...I wanted to be there for her. Not for her Dad but for Ashlynn to support her through this time..to hold her up in this storm. "Aren't you going to New York anyway? It's not like you can go."
"I'm just going for tomorrow and then we work in the studio on Thursday..then I'm off. Do you know when the funeral is?" I asked her staring at my steering wheel trying to figure out how I would go about all of this.
"Not sure yet..probably on Sunday. I think whether she admits it or not she could really use your support." she admitted.
"I'm going to fly out after we get out of the studio Thursday. Can you pick me up from the airport if she doesn't approve of me going?" I asked her knowing that Ashlynn probably wouldn't agree with this at all.
"Of course! Just talk to her." she told me. I was going too.
After about 15 minutes Ashlynn came down and walked out of the building back to my car. She climbed in my car and buckled her seat belt and half smiled at me.
"Alright. Let's go. I need to go book a flight home now." she said to Jayci and I.
"What did Don say?" I asked her hoping he was the nice guy he always seemed to be.
" He said he understood. He needs Kendall's' pictures by Friday so I need to work on those.That was really it.." she said.
We got back to her apartment and she grabbed her laptop from her bag and pulled it out searching for flights.
"Great..nothing flies out of here to Texas till Saturday..that won't do." she said with some serious disappointment in her voice.
"There aren't any?" Jayci asked her.
"I mean there is but they are all full flights." she told Jayci.
I was standing in the kitchen making a coffee when she put her laptop down on the table and headed to her bedroom. I followed close behind her and watched her crawl in her bed under the covers. I shut the door behind me and crawled in the bed next to her under the blankets.
"I just want to go home Harry..that's all I want to do. I want to see my Mom and my sister." she confessed tears rolling down her cheeks yet again.
"You will baby. I promise. Soon enough." I reassured her. I had a plan.
