Harry’s POV
I open my eyes at the sound of my name being called. I look to my left, but Jessica was gone. Then I noticed that everyone was getting off the plane. Damn it.

I get up quickly, grabbing my carry on and rushing out of the door to join every one else. Its getting dark here, so hopefully I can get to my hotel and get checked in and finally go back to sleep..

I walk beside Niall as we head to the airport doors. Jessica is with Lou, I wish I was walking with them, but unfortunately, I’m not.

‘’So, what ya think ‘bout Jessica?’’ Niall asks me. ‘’Well.. she’s nice.’’ I mumble.
He laughs lightly to himself.

‘’C’mon, seriously. I know you like her, Harry.’’ He nudges my side with his elbow. ‘’No I don’t. I don’t even know her.’’ I say, which is a lie.. I sorta do like her. “So, you could still like her.. which I know you do.’’ He smirks lightly.

‘’Whatever.’’ I shrug as I look infront of us, at her.

She’s shorter than I would have thought, based on the little things I knew about her. She’s maybe five foot four or five. She dresses just like I knew she would, just because of where she’s from.

But, I’m not trying to be stereotypical, I’m just pointing it out.. to myself.

I watch her pull a package of cigarettes out her back pocket, getting one out with a lighter, and then putting them back. I notice Lou has one too, but one of hers. I didn’t even know she picked that habit back up, oh well.. her life, not mine.

“Starin’ at her butt.’’ Niall mumbles to me. ‘’No I’m not.. I was.. wasn’t even looking at her.’’ I sigh out, knowing that he caught me, once again.

‘’You can tell me t’at lie, but I know you were.’’ He says with that damn smirk, the one he gives off when he knows he’s right about something. In this case, he’s right.

“You ought’ta ask her for a date. We’re gonna be in Austria for two days.’’ He insists. ‘’I dunno..’’ I shrug lightly.

‘’Like you said, you hardly know her.. now’s your chance to get to know her..’’ Niall’s encouraging words actually stick around in my mind for a little longer than I had expected them too.

I find myself catching up to the girls, hoping to get to talk to Jessica, even though Lou’s with her. ‘’Hey Haz.’’ Lou smiles at me. ‘’Hey.’’ I smile back, kindly. ‘’Oh, Harry, I gave Jessie all of our numbers, and I sent everyone her’s.’’ She tells me.

‘’Jessie?’’ I ask, raising my eyebrows as I look over at Jessica. ‘’Yeah, idiot.. that’s what she wants to be called. Don’t look at her that way.’’ Lou says, rolling her eyes playfully at me.

‘’Oh… okay.’’ I nod lightly, getting my phone out to see if I got the message.

I did. I save her number under “Jessie” since that’s what she wants to be called. I’m sure she’s always been called that, so I don’t ask her about it. Instead, I send her a message. I’m such an idiot sometimes. I actually took Niall’s advice.. that’s usually a bad thing, but not this time.

Me: Hey, Jessie ;) I was wondering.. if you wanted to on a little friendly “date” with me, tomorrow afternoon before the concert..?

I locked my phone and clutched it in my hand as I walked beside Lou, Jessie on her other side. I waited a few moments before I finally got nervous that she doesn’t even want to look at me.

But my worry washed away just as the phone vibrated in my hand.

I look down and open the message from her. Its exactly what I didn’t expect..
Jessie: Sure. As long as it doesn’t cause any disruption.. ya know.. with your image and stuff.

Me: Oh it won’t.. trust me ;)

Jessie: What if it does??

Me: I’ll handle it..

She doesn’t reply, but I see from the corner of my eye that she looks over at me and smiles lightly before sparking up a conversation with Lou about something that I had no clue about.

I smirk to myself as I stare down at my phone. Just waiting to get to the hotel. I’m so damn
tired. But really, I’m ready for the show tomorrow. But mostly.. I’m ready for my date..

---

I lie down in the hotel bed. Its so hard, I hate it so damn much. But I need the sleep! I have to sleep! Sleeping is one of my specialties. My phone beeps beside me, surprising me. It was late, who could possibly want something from me at this time?

But I see who it is, and it made me happy.. Sorta.. grateful.

Jessie: Hey, are you still up?

I reply quickly, making sure to sound polite and stuff as our conversation continued on. Its nice to have some one to “Talk” to this late. Even though she’s just a friend and all.. for now, at least.

Me: Yeah. Why? You okay?

Jessie: Yeah.. I’m just worried.

Me: About what?

Jessie: You know, the fans and stuff.

Me: What about them?

Jessie: What if they hate me? Since I’m with you guys and stuff..

Me: They won’t. They’ll see you as another Lou in our lives. Its fine. Don’t be worried.

Jessie: Are you sure?

Me: Yeah.

Jessie: Promise??

Me: I promise.

Jessie: Okay. I’m so sleepy, but I can’t sleep.

Me: Same here.. my bed’s like a rock.

Jessie: Mine is too!

Me: So, are you ready for tomorrow?

Jessie: Yeah! I can’t wait to start! Its gonna be so fun, at least that’s what Lou told me.

Me: Ha.. I actually meant about our date.. but okay.. ;) :)

Jessie: :*) Oh.. well that.. yeah. What about you?

Me: About the show, yeah I’m excited and I’m happy for you and stuff. And about our date, I can’t wait. I’m super anxious and excited.

Jessie: Lol.. Do you ever get nervous about performing?

Me: Good question. But no, I used to, ya know “back in the day” but not anymore. I’m accustomed to it now. What's with the random questions? :)

Jessie: I figured that. And, I'm just curious..

Me: Yeah, for sure. And.. I know. ;)

Jessie: Is it hard.. being away from home and stuff?

Me: Yeah. Really hard.. but it’ll be okay. Are you afraid of that too??

Jessie: yeah.. home’s really far away for me..

Me: yeah, but its okay.

Jessie: What if I get home sick.. what will I do?

Me: You can always talk to me.. I’m here for you.

Jessie: Aw. Nice to know!

Me: Yep. I’m awesome like that.

Jessie: Wow.. I really need to go to sleep.

Me: Yeah you do, Love. I’d hate for you to be tired tomorrow.

Jessie: You need to sleep too! You can’t fall asleep on stage!

Me: Ha! I’m more worried about falling asleep when I’m with you.

Jessie: I bet.. bye Harry, go to sleep!

Me: I will, you better go to sleep too!

Jessie: lol, I will..

Me: Bye love. If you need me, just call.

Jessie: Okay.

Me: okay.. bye x

Jessie: Bye xx

Me: xo :) ;)
