Out of Nowhere ***ON HOLD***
Chapter 4
-Lauren's POV-
“Lauren?” I feel someone gently shake my arm
“Mmmm” I groan, rolling over and pulling to duvet over my head
“Lauren, come one wake up”
“please, just a little bit longer.”
“I’m sorry Laurie, we don’t have time”
My eyes slowly begin to open, groaning as I turn. I shift in bed sitting up, and catch a glimpse of my clock 05:01. Instantly I am awake.
“What’s going on?”
“Laurie, your Dad and I love you so much. Ok sweetie, but we have to go.”
“Where?” my voice filled with concern.
“Look, the most I can tell you, honey, is that a long time a go, before you were born, Dad and I did some…work together.”
“What did yo-“
“sweetie, please just listen.” She holds up her hand, then continues slowly, choosing each word with care. “It was dangerous, and there were some people that…didn’t like...what we were doing. But we did what we had to then got out of there.” She looks at me, tucking a hair behind my ear. I can see the pain in her eyes and any questions I had disappear. “Some things have come up, and we have to take care of them.”
She turns as my dad walks in. He bends down kissing the top of my forehead “I love you, Laurie. We don’t want to go, but we have to.”
Mum, gets up from my bed, “Take care of Jess while we are gone. If you need anything, talk to Mac, you know Dad’s friend from work. He can help you.”
“Wait. How long will you be?”
“Not long sweetie. We will call.” She leans down one last time kissing my forehead, wiping the stray tear running down my cheek. “Stay strong, Laurie. Trust yourself. I love you.”
I stay sitting there in shock. Listening to the car, drive away in the night, and just like that they were gone. Leaving in a whirlwind, not allowing my mind to catch up to what was actually happening.
I sit on my bed for a while, my mind reeling a hundred miles a second. The thoughts swim around in my mind threatening to drown me. I get out of bed and pace circles in my bedroom. I need to know where they are going.
I go over through my parents room. I rummage through the drawers. Nothing. I go to the study, check the shelves. I check the drawers, the shelves the cabinets.
“Nothing. Nothing! Nothing!” I slam the draws closed with each word. Why is there nothing? Why wont the tell us what is going on?
I groan in frustration, hitting the desk. The sound echoing threw the house. I put my elbows on the desk, my head in my hands. I’m so confused I don’t understand. I look up and see Jess standing in the door of the study. All my anger and frustration evaporates. She is standing there in her pyjamas hugging her teddy bear, crying.
I run over, grabbing her in my arms as she cries into my chest. “Shhh, baby its ok. Its ok baby”
She looks up me her big eyes glistening with tears “When do they get back?”
“I don’t know”
“where are they going?”
“I don’t know”
“why are they gone?”
“I don't know, baby. But its going to be ok. I promise.”
I hold her until she settles down letting her cry herself out, wiping her tears away.
“Why don’t you go get changed for school, I’ll make you some breakfast and then I can drive you to school. I’ll get Mac to bring you home, I’ll be at Uni. Okay?” She runs off, still hugging her teddy bear. I watch her go, sighing. How am I going to do this?
There is something so wrong with them leaving like this, and I am going to figure it out.
-Harry's POV-
“Harry! HARRY! Get your lazy arse out of bed!”
“5 more minutes!”
“NO. You have an interview and you are already late.”
“FINE. Just give me a minute!” I yell through my door to Jack, one of the guys who organizes our itinerary.
“Why the hell are we doing breakfast radio. It’s too early.” I mumble under my breath. As I quickly get changed.
We sit in the radio station booth. Head sets and mics adjusted, just waiting until it is time to start the interview. The boys are all pretty tired, but are still joking around a fair bit, Niall laughing as usual. Usually I would join in, but I can’t concentrate all I can think about is Lauren. Oh, fuck it. I think grabbing out my phone. I don’t care if you are or are not meant to text the next morning I just want to her from her.
H: Good Morning, love. Ready to get your arse kicked today?
L: In your dreams, Harry
H: Well then, I have a feeling my dreams are about to come true ;)
L: Sure sure. Ok stop distracting me. I have to concentrate, I’m in a lecture.
H: Oh, so you’re a teachers pet
L: No, just unlike some people I have to get a degree before I can get a job. And to do that I need to Pass!
H: What subject?
L: Criminal law
H: I didn’t know you studied law?
L: You don’t know everything about my Harry, yet.
H: I’d like to
L:Me too, but until you do, I still have some tricks up my sleeve, which is why I am going to win tonight.
H: Keep praying, Wilson
L: Oh, I will. For you not to be in too much pain once I’m done with you
H: That’s what he said
L: Haha. So funny. I am literally dying with laughter.
H: Really?
L: No
H: See you tonight, Lauren x
L: See you tonight, Styles x
“Harry?”
oh no, “I’m sorry. I missed that. What did you say?”
The interviewer repeated the question, whilst Niall punched me in the shoulder and Liam just knowingly smirked. Louis looked from each of us trying to figure out what is going on. Later I mouth to him.
The interview drags with the usual questions, and I switch onto automatic. Letting my mind drift to Lauren, and I smile to myself. God, Harry, you have got it bad.
“Lauren?” I feel someone gently shake my arm
“Mmmm” I groan, rolling over and pulling to duvet over my head
“Lauren, come one wake up”
“please, just a little bit longer.”
