The Way Back

"Wake up, Apollo." Someone yells while jumping on the bed.

"Why?" I sit up to see Louis and Niall.

"You've slept all day... It's 7:00 pm." Niall says.

7:00 pm? How did I sleep the whole day?

"We thought you died... So wanna have a party? "

"A Party? "

"Yeah. We have a lot of people here. Harry set some clothes out for you... Over there." Louis points to a chair in the corner.

They leave the room giving me privacy to get dressed. Harry set out a gorgeous black dress and some black high heeled stap on sandals. And to my embarrassment, some clean underwear and a bra. Just as I strap my sandals on someone comes in...

"You look amazing. "

"Thank you Harry. " I can feel my face getting hot as I remember He got me underwear.

"My ex girlfriend helped me find an outfit for you." He says as if reading my mind. "The dress and shoes she gave you. Everything else was bought new."

"Tell her Thank you for me."

"You can tell her. She's here... She also gave you a whole closet full of her old clothes and shoes. "

"That's awesome! Who is she?"

He gets the cutest grin on his face. "C'mon. Let's go meet her." He grabs my hand, pulling me to my feet and out the door.

The hotel room the boys are in is more like a suit. It's got a kitchen, dining room, living room, and five separate rooms for each of the boys.

"Hey Taylor. This is Apollo. " Harry introduces me to his ex.

"Hey! It's nice to finally meet you. I saw you earlier but you were asleep. "

"Oh right... When you dropped off the clothes... Thank you by the way."

"No problem... I hope you like them. I decided it was time for some new clothes so I gave you my old ones... Don't worry I got you brand new bras and underwear. "

"Thank you so much! I really needed them. " I actually hug her for a second.

She's really pretty. She has blonde shoulder length hair and She's just gorgeous, I can't help but feel jealous at the fact that Harry dated her.

"No problem. We should go shopping sometime. I'll buy you anything you want." She leans closer to me whispering. "You should go shopping with Harry, He actually has a good since of style."

After I'm done talking to Taylor I notice Harry has walked away. While on a quest to find him I find Niall instead.

"Hey Apollo, you should drink this!"

"What Is It?"

"Don't worry it's good. I've been drinking it all night. "

I take the cup, putting it to my lips and drinking it all within seconds.

"Wow. You want another one?"

"Yeah. "

Before long I'm definitely starting to feel the effects of Niall's drink. I'm starting to feel hot and I can't think properly. So I head to the elevator. Surprisingly it doesn't take me very long to learn how to use it. I start going up... Great! I wanted to go down.

I end up at the end of a long hallway. I see a door on the other end so I walk to it. Upon opening it I see I'm on the roof.

The first place I look is over the edge. I can see the lights of the boys party just in front of me. Down below I see a few people crowding the hotel's front entrance. I try to get a better look by leaning over further. I slip but just as I'm about to go over someone pulls me back and into their chest. They smell really good.

"What the he'll are you doing? " Harry yells as He holds me at arms length. I just want him to hold me close again.

"I honestly didn't mean to lean over that far." My voice slurs.

"Your drunk. "

"I'm what?"

"You drank to much alcohol. Your drunk. "

"OK. " I say a little mockingly. I pull away from him and sit on the ground, looking up at the stars. I began to cry.

"What's wrong?" Harry sits next to me as I lay my head on his shoulder.

"I wanna go home... But I don't want to leave you."

"Where are you from?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Just tell me.... How bad can it be?"

I take a deep breath trying to come up with a way for him to believe me. Then I remember.... Before I left the future I put an old news paper clipping in my pocket. It's in my shoe now.

"I'm from the future... Now before you laugh I can prove it."

"How?"

"With this." I pull the clip out of my shoe. "It's about your death. It's dated July, 5th 2024."

He takes it, reading it slowly. When he's done He slowly puts it down.

"That says I kill myself... Why?"

"I'm from the year 3015. I was born on July, 5th 2997. I'm 18 years old."

"That doesn't answer my question, Apollo."

"I know... I just don't want to tell you why. I told myself that since I'm stuck here I'm going to save you."

He scoots so close to me I can feel his breath. "Please tell me so I can not let it happen. "

"Fine." I take a deep breath.

"You met a girl named Krista Lynn. You are going to date her for a little over four months Before she gets pregnant... " I take another deep breath.

"When your daughter turns seven in 2022, you find out Krista has a boyfriend She's been dating since before she met you.... You aren't going to be the babies dad. Krista is going to play you for your money. "

"One Direction play their last show on August, 23rd 2022. You were not at your best. After that you become an alcoholic, you drink yourself to the point where you kill yourself two years later. The other boys play a reunion show six years later in your honor."

He doesn't say anything for a moment, just looks at me as if trying to figure out if I'm telling the truth or not.

"Where do I meet Krista? "

"An interview... She practically throws herself at you." I don't know why but I start crying again.

"What's wrong? "

"I don't know. I've always wanted to meet you... To save you." I don't know how I'm going to do that. I just want to save you, Harry. "


He surprises me by pulling me to him, He kisses me softly on the lips before pulling away.

"You already did... You saved me the moment I first saw you."

"How?"

"From that moment on. The only girl I can think of is you. I've fallen for you hard." He kisses me again but with more Fire, more hunger. This time I pull away.

"I've fallen for you to, Styles. " I laugh a little. " We should probably get back to your party... it's actually kinda rude to leave your own party. "

With that being said He hands me back my news paper clip and we go back down to the party.

Before we reenter, one more thought hits me. I told Harry I was from the future and He still likes me... could my life get any better?.... I don't think so.
