Harry’s Prov

“Well at least she’s talking to me now” I spoke to Liam who was sitting on the couch playing FIFA.

“Well just think Haz, she could’ve ignored your texts until she was already in Michigan”

“Gee that makes me feel so much better. Im so lucky to have a friend like you” I answered sarcastically. I left Liam in the living room and headed to bed. Why are girls so difficult? I bet the others never had this problem before I thought getting ready for a shower. Turning the water on to let it warm up, I looked in the mirror, and tried to think of what to say to Hanna when we talked. “Why isn’t anything working!” I screamed smashing the mirror. The mirror shattered into pieces and I looked at my knuckles. Covered with blood and broken glass, I got even madder.
“AHHHHHH UGGHHH!!” I yelled kicking the door. Zayn poked his head in to see what was going on.

“Mate, what are you doing?” he whispered calmly.

“Honestly I have no earthly clue. I don’t know what to do anymore. Im suppose to have a conversation with Hanna in about 3 hours and I have no freaking clue of what to say. That’s what the matter is” I said harshly to him and I cleaned my hand. Before Zayn could answer I just shut and locked to door. I hopped in the shower, stood there with the water hitting my body, and tried to clear my head.

Ali’s Prov

Niall and I got back into the car and headed to the hotel. Pulling up into a parking spot an hour later exhausted, we walked inside the lobby doors and to the elevator. Niall pushed the 5th floor button and we began our ride up. The ride was silent because I was thinking about how being One Direction’s publicist would affect Niall and I’s relationship. The doors opened and I pushed the question to the back of my mind. Niall noticed the look on my face and nudged my arm. “Are you okay Ali?”

“Ya, I am. Just thinking about work and how I can help you guys” I answered him. He took my hand and we walked into the room. We were greeted by Liam, Louis, and Zayn saying hello.

“How have you been Alison? Haven’t seen you since the hospital” Zayn asked while hugging me.

“I’ve been doing better. Hanna’s been helping me make sure I take my medicine”

“By the way where is Hanna? I kinda missed that train” Louis said grabbing a bottle of water.
The room fell silent and you could hear a pen drop and crickets chirp. A couple more minutes passed and no one answered Louis. “Woah did I say something?”

“Well . . . Hanna . . . is um . . .”

“On the way to Michigan” Harry blurted finishing my sentence. We all stared at the half-clothed Harry in the doorway. I noticed the dried-blood soaked bandages that covered his knuckles. The room fell silent again and all you could hear was the fake fans in the FIFA game. “She’s supposed to call when she lands and we’re going to talk then” he said getting a Sprite from the fridge. I turned to look Niall, but he was too busy looking at Harry. “If you need me I’ll be in my room” and with that he was gone. There was a muffling among the boys and then they went back to what they were doing. I quietly made my way to Harry’s door and slipped in.

“Harry” I whispered into the darkness. There was no answer. “Harry” I said a little bit louder. I noticed the bathroom light on and headed over there. I opened the door and saw a blurry-eyed Harry staring back at me. “Let me help you with that” I said taking the washcloth from his hand. After taking the cloth from his hand, I rinsed it out, and finished cleaning up his hand.

“How long will her flight last?” he asked after minutes of silence.

“She should land in about two hours. She still loves you” I said placing the cloth in the sink and getting some new band aids. Harry’s eyes lit up and he sorta smiled. “She may be mad at you now but that will soon pass over like a storm cloud” I bandaged up his hand and walked out of the room. I reentered the living and saw the boys all in the same places as they were before. I sat down on the couch next to Niall and stole one of his French fries from his plate.

“Woah I’d be careful Ali. Niall doesn’t even share his food with us” Louis said sitting down next to me.

“Oi that’s not true” Niall spoke defending himself

“Mate you almost stabbed with your fork when we were at Nando’s because I tried to take a chip that had fallen off of your plate” Liam chimed in.

“Well then. I’m sorry for caring about my food”

“It’s okay Ni. We’re telling ya” Liam said chuckling and then returned to playing FIFA. I looked over at Niall and could tell he was getting irritated with them. I kissed his cheek and snuggled closer to him. After Liam and Zayn finished their game of FIFA, Harry came out and joined us.

“Let’s watch a movie” I suggested getting up from my spot. I started sifting through the movies lying under the television and decided on Gladiator. I sat back down next to Niall and hit the play button. The movie started and only a couple minutes into it my phone started ringing. I looked down and it was Nancy. “I’ve got to take this” I whispered to Niall.

“Want us to pause the movie?”

“No, I’ve seen it before” I walked into Niall’s room and closed the door. “Hello, this is Ali”

“Yes Alison hello. I just wanted to remind you that the tour begins in two days and was wondering if you are ready to be writing for the biggest boy band on the planet?” she asked.

“Yes ma’am I am ready. I just need to get the finishing items on my list and then I will be ready to go”

“There is also another thing I want to bring up,” she started. My heart started beating faster. Does she know about Niall and I? What is she going to say? Is it about me and the hospital?

“It’s about your friend Hanna. I heard that she is going to Michigan”

“Yes her flight left an hour ago”

“Well seeing that she will be there. I just need to confirm that she will be joining us on this tour or not”

“Umm I don’t know the answer to that yet. But I will let you know when I call her when she lands”

“Sounds good” and then there was click on the other end. That was so scary I thought to myself. I slowly made my way back into the living room and to my spot next to Niall.

“Everything okay?” he asked wrapping his arm around me.

“Yep. That was Nancy just wondering if Hanna would be coming with us” I responded quickly. He just nodded his head and continued watching the movie. The credits were just beginning to roll and Harry’s phone was going off.

“Everyone quiet it’s Hanna!” he yelled at us like he just gotten that present he always wanted as a kid. “Hey love how was your flight? Well that’s good. Wait what. No Hanna, don’t say that” Harry walked into his room and shut the door. We all sat on the couch looking at each other. By glancing down at the crack of the door, you could see the shadow crossing back and forth. An hour passed and Harry emerged with red, puffy eyes and a smile on her face. “Well we aren’t in a fight anymore but she won’t be coming on the tour” he said calmly. I went up to Harry and wrapped my arms around him in a hug because I thought of nothing else. His arms tightened around me and he face was buried in my neck. Just then there was a knock on the door and Louis went to answer it.
