Pity Party

HARRY POV
Melanie is currently sleeping in my arms. I really want something to drink but I don’t want to disturb Mel’s tiny cute snores. I pull out my phone and text Louis.

L= Louis H=Harry
H: Hey can you ask the air ten dent for some juice? I’m thirsty and I don’t want to wake up Mel.
L: Yeah sure, what kind of juice?
H: Uh apple juice.
L: Okay, gimmie a minute.
H: Thank you.

I wait for my juice and check my snap chat. I take a quick picture of Melanie and me. I put cute little heart emoji’s and start to get a whole bunch of “congratulation” messages and I’m super confused.

The lady brings my juice, “congratulations! You guys are such a cute couple.” She smiles brightly. “Excuse me?” I ask confused.

“Oh you guys are all over the news and on the front of the newspapers and going on this trip to Vegas, oh you guys are so cute.” She smiles and walks off.

I start to breath heavy, I don’t want Melanie to know, if she finds out she will surely have an anxiety attack. I grab her phone and put her finger on the sensor. She has so many notifications on this trip.

They have pictures of us all over, in the car, in her house, all of us getting on the plane. They have been stalking us for the longest. I clear her notifications and block every headline that has our names in it. I go to her snap chat and surprising there is nothing there. I still block everything related to us.

I also go to every media app she has and block everything about any of us. I want this trip to be happy for us. Even if there is going to be pictures, we all need to be on our best behavior.
We have two hours till landing, so I need to think of strategies. I’m pretty sure they are going to be waiting for us there. I hope there are no reporters or anything. After a minute of me thinking. I get a group chat from the whole gang

N=Niall L=Louis Li=Lilly J=James Ha=Hannah Je=Jessica H=Harry D=David

L: Hey! Why are we all over the news??
Li: Yeah, they didn’t get my good side!
N: You don’t have to worry about the pictures not coming out right Lilly.
Li: Well that’s nice to say when you look hot in yours. I look so bad!
H: You guys stop fighting over the way you look, we need a plan to make sure Melanie don’t find out.

J: Why can’t she know?
Ha: She has anxiety attacks dummy!
Je: Well what is the plan? It’s kind of hard to keep the whole world quite.
L: No one answered my question, why the hell are we all over the world?
H: Melanie and I are being forced to get married remember and I’m pretty sure our dads paid paparazzi to take all these pictures.

Li: Why didn’t Mel tell me this? I better be the maid of fucking honor.
N: Really Lilly, maid of honor at a time like this.
Ha: It doesn’t hurt to dream Niall.
Li: Thank you Hannah :)

Je: So how are we going to keep this away from Mel? I mean if she sees us on the cover of every newspaper she will freak.
H: I don’t know how we are going to do this but I already blocked everything on her phone. I think you guys should do the same.
J: I agree, this is the only way Mel will not find out.
L: And when she sees the paparazzi.

D: Really you guys, you just left me out?!?!
Li: Sorry I forgot to add you.
D: Anyways, the paparazzi shouldn’t be a big deal because we are constantly getting pictures took by them.

J: Why do you guys get pictures taken?
Ha: Because their dad is rich and their mother has her own clothing line. Why are you so dumb James?
J: Sorry I don’t know everything about them.
Je: So what do we do if she does find out?

D: We just need to keep her calm and make sure she is always with someone, if you leave her once and she knows, I know she will hurt herself.
J: What do you mean by hurt herself?

L: She self-harms and it has gotten to the point where they bust by the slightest of pressure.
N: How did you know that they bust?
L: She told me today when they came and picked me up.

D: Suure okay, anyways we need to get sleep. We need all the energy we have.
L: Uh okay, I guess.
H: Okay, just remember don’t leave her side and be on your best behavior, goodnight love you guys.

Ha: Night, love ya <3
J: No foolish business, night love y’all too.
D: Night. Love you.

Li: Night Night, luv ya guys 4ever: P
N: Goodnight love you guys, sleep tight.
Je: Hope you guys have a nice rest, night love ya!
L: Night peeps, love you more than carrots!

I put my phone in my pocket and try to fall asleep, but I just run my fingers in Mel’s hair thinking of all of the possible future memories. I love her so much and I want my proposal to be so romantic she can’t say no.

I lay her body against mine and force my eyes shut. I do need all of my energy to keep up with Melanie. I kiss her forehead and smile, I can’t wait to spend my life with her. I slowly fall asleep and wait for our plane to arrive in Las Vegas.

MELANIE POV
I wake up to the air attendant saying we have a twenty minutes till landing. “Harry wake up! Baby wake up!” I give him big kisses against his lips. “We have twenty minutes till landing.” I kiss him more and he finally responds back.

He gives me soft kisses and grabs my waist. “You guys need to get a room!” David says as he buckles his self-up. I sit down right and strap the buckle in.

“We are going to have so much fun Harry.” I say and hold his hand. All he does is smile and nod. Something is wrong and I’m going to find out. “So the hotel we are staying in is super fancy, that means we have to be on our best behaviors.”

“Why, who cares if we go crazy.” I smile. He just nods and looks the other way. He soon lets go of my hand and I feel bad. I put my hand on his thigh and rub it slowly. I hear his breath fall and pace up.

“What’s wrong daddy?” I whisper into his ear. He groans softly as I reach more up towards his belt and untangle it from his pants. “Mel stop it. I mean it.” He pushes my hand away and buckles his pants back up.

“I’m sorry.” I grab my purse and head to the bathroom. What the hell is wrong with him, I know he was liking it yet he didn’t let me finish. I pour water on my face and wash my smeared makeup off.

It took a little effort after I grab my makeup remover wipes. I dig through my bag for my phone but don’t find it. I am certain I put it right in the front pocket. Whatever I guess, I’m pretty sure Harry has it.

I look through the rest of my bag and take out a little case of razors. I have so many of these hidden around the house. I know I should have left them at home but I know I will be needing a release.

The lady says over the intercom that it is Tuesday, February seventh and it’s 1:30am, buckle up we are landing in Las Vegas, Nevada. I walk out of the restroom and buckle up.

“Babe where is my phone.” I look at him and he just hands me it. I can’t deal with all of this. I just look at my phone and look at my friends looking all tired in our pajamas.

I’m in my onesie as well as all the other girls and the guys in joggers with a plain t shirt.There so basic. “Babe did you call the hotel to make sure they have the rooms ready.”

“Yeah, you and I are sharing a room. Niall and Lilly sharing the room across, next to us is James and Jessica, Louis is sharing a room with Hannah and apparently your brother has ordered his own room.” He says and looks at his phone.

“So there is five rooms total, you guys have your I.D’s right?” I try and grab his hand but he quickly moves it. “Yeah I asked them all, and they do.” He says blankly and continues to look at his phone.

No emotion is there, it’s like he is numb and I know that because I feel like that right now. He stay’s like that till the plane lands. “Thank you for flying with Happy Airline. Have a nice time here in Las Vegas, Nevada.” The lady says happily.

I get up and try and get my bag down but being short sucks. “Are you going to do the thing with your tippy toes again?” James looks at me and burst into laughter.

“No I have no strength for that right now. Can you please get my bag?” I say with a puppy dog face. “Of course princess cupcake.” James bows down and gets my bag as I giggle.

“Thank you James.” I grab my bag and make sure everyone is getting their things. “Okay guys lets go.” I start to walk and all of a sudden Harry’s arm reaches around my waist.
Okay what the hell is going on, I swear he is fucking bipolar. I want to say something but I just keep my lips shut so I don’t end up hurting myself. I walk out of the plane and flashes are being taken all around.

A guy in a black suit makes them all back up. “Hey guys, I was hired by Mr. Liam Payne to make sure you and your friends get to your hotel safely.” He gives a smile and starts to push through the shouting crowd.

“Melanie and Harry, why are you here in Las Vegas?”
“Melanie, what is Mr. Payne planning on with the company?”
“David is Melanie fit for your father’s company?”

“What brought you guys to Nevada?”
“Harry, is your dad handing the company to you, to carry on the family tradition?”
“How long will you guys be staying her?”

“Who are all these people with you?”
“What things do we see in your dad’s company in the future?”

I hear all the reporters around me scream out ridiculous questions. They never been this nosy, they usually take a lot of pictures and ask a little bit of questions but this is a step more of anxiety. My breathing start to catch up and I couldn’t keep walking.

“Harry I think I’m going to faint.” I say before my eyes start to close from all the flashes. I hear faint calls from the reporters and then Harry’s voice.

“Melanie, baby, are you okay?” He has me in his arms bridle style and all I remember is being put into a car and waking up curled to a shirtless Harry in a hotel bed. I look around and see our luggage on the floor and look at the time.

It’s barely 3:45am. I huff and get out of bed to use the restroom. As I walk to the restroom I see my heart night light plugged in. “Aw he remembered my night light.”

“Of course he did, he loves you Melanie.” I hear Gemma and look around. “Gemma?” I say quietly. “Yes it’s Gemma. I only have a little time to talk but I am here to give you a clue to the question Harry will ask you on this trip.” She says as I look around.
“What is it?”

“The solution to his question is the feeling in your heart, don’t let anyone else tell you different.” She says sweetly.

“Gemma I can’t feel.” I look to the ground.
“There is a feeling you feel with Harry, and its love, just let it seep into your heart and the true answer is there. I also need you and Lou to get along he may be stubborn and bipolar but he will help you figure out why I am dead.” She sighs.

“Gemma, why can’t you just tell me why you killed yourself.” I say. “That I cannot answer, you have to look deep and you will find it. I have to go now, please tell Harry I love him.”
“I will. Talk to you later Gemma.” I smile and head to the bathroom. As I finish my business I start to think of all the possibilities on why Gemma ended her life. She was so young and she had so much hope yet it all turned in a year. I wish she was still here.

I go back to the bed and lay there in deep thought. I couldn’t fall back to sleep, I laid there sleepless. I was super hungry and I didn’t want to wake up Harry. As I think about what I’m going to do today, I see our room whole room.

We have a full kitchen so I think I want to go shopping but I don’t want to go by myself. “Babe, baby, babe.” I try and wake Harry up but he won’t budge so I grab my phone and text him I’m going to the store.

I put my hair into a messy bun, fix my onesie, grab the keys, I’m guessing to the rental car we have and made sure I had my credit and hotel card. As I walk out of my room James walks out of his. “Hey Mel, you okay? You had a bad faint?” he asks with concern.

“So that’s what happened, I didn’t remember any of that, but I’m okay.” I laugh softly. “Uh is your sister up?” I ask. “Yeah, everyone is in our room watching movies minus Lilly, Niall, Harry and David. I was going to get some ice.” He smiles and shows me the bucket.

“Do you think it will be okay if she comes with me to the store? Or can you come with me, I just don’t want to go alone because there are crazy people out here, especially at 4 in the morning.” I ask shyly.

“Oh course I would love to go, but that boyfriend of yours, do you think he will mind?” He asks skeptical. “Nah, he will be okay with it.” I give him a smile.

“You promise Mel?” He asks unsure. “Yes James, I promise it will be okay.” He gives me a big smile. “Okay let me go get the ice for the gang and I’ll be right back. You can go in if you want.” He opens the door and I walk in to see everyone watching Cinderella.

“Are you guys really watching my favorite movie without me?” I ask in shock. “Yes, yes we are.” Jessica laughs. “Well that is hurtful, I thought we were friends.” I pretend to cry. They all start to laugh at me. “We are friends, don’t cry Mel.” Hannah says still laughing. “I know I know. Anyways do y’all want anything from the store?”

“Yeah yeah, I want Gatorade, hot pockets, ice cream bars, popcorn, pizza bites, honey buns, lucky charms, donuts, oh and potato crisp, don’t forget the potato crisps.” Jessica says in a hurry.

“Well now I know what you and your brother have in common.” I laugh. “Don’t tell James.” She says as he comes in. “Don’t tell me what.” He looks at us confused.

“Nothing.” We all say in unison, even Lou that was way more into the movie then our conversation. “Well I will get everything. Do you want anything Hannah Banana?” I ask and she becomes silent.

“Hannah are you okay?” She looks like she wants to cry. She runs into my arms and starts to hold onto me. “Hannah are you alright, why are you crying?” I ask with sympathy.
“James is she okay.” I look at him and he looks down to the ground… “James what’s going on?” I ask confused.

“Our mom use to call Hannah that nickname, she was the only one that was allowed actually and ever since she passed no one called her that because it was too emotional for her or any of us to handle.” He confessed the story and I felt bluer than the two of them.

“Hannah I’m so sorry I didn’t know, I feel so bad for call…” She cuts my sentence short “Melanie it is okay, I started crying because you sounded just like her when you spoke, I miss her so much Melanie.” She cries more into my arm.

“Hannah I am really sorry, I didn’t know her but I know you resemble her character as a daughter. Do you want to come with James and me to the store, we can get you some ice cream.” I smile at her.

“Uh I think I’m going to stay here and try and get some rest but can you buy me vanilla bean ice cream please?” She tries to move but she struggles. Her body starts to fall and I couldn’t hold her fully.

“Louis, James help, she needs water.” Her body feels cold like a winter night then heats up. Lou picks her up bridle style and her shaking arms hug around him tightly. He cradles her and takes her to their room as James gets water.

“Is she going to be okay, Mel?” Jessica gets up and grabs towels from the bathroom. “She was super cold and now she is sweating.” I say worriedly. “I’m going to drench this in some cold water, I’ll go and help Lou after.” She goes to the bathroom and James returns.

“James do you want to stay here to take care of her or do you want me to ask Lou and Jessica?” I tell him as we walk to their room. “I need to go get her the right medicine so please can you ask them and tell Lou no funny business.” He sighs out as we walk to their room.

“Okay let me talk to them while you tuck her in.” I give him a hug and grab Lou’s arm. “James want me to ask you if you and Jessica can please take care of Hannah while we go get her some medicine and food.” I plead for him to say yes.

“Of course Mel, she means a lot to me. Please hurry and get her better, I can’t bare for her to feel like this.” He says as he looks at her in the bed sick. “Okay Lou I am counting on you, and please no funny business.” I beg him. “Mel why would you think that would happen.” He looks at me weirdly.

“James told me to tell you that but please promise me no funny business.” I say one last time before he promises and James and I set off to the store.

We go to the main lobby and there are tons of people out there with cameras. “Mel I don’t want you to faint again let’s just ask the hotel people if there is a back way to get out. We walk over to the counter where a young girl with pink hair stood.

“Hello Mrs. Styles, is something wrong with your room?” She smiles brightly. Mrs. Styles? Well I’m pretty sure Harry put that under his name, and I am staying in the same room so she thinks we are a married couple. That’s pretty cute I say to myself.

“Oh please call me Mel, I love your hair and uh no the room is actually amazing but I was wondering if you can help us out with these people.” I slightly point my finger to the main entrance. “Is there a different way to get out to get my car?” I ask.

“Oh uh I don’t know it’s only for employees but, uh okay I’ll help you.” She waves here hand and shows us the back way. “James, do you want to drive or me?” I hand him the keys. “I’ll drive I guess.” He laughs.

“I’m going to give you a card to get back in. Please don’t tell anyone else but the people you are staying with, I don’t want to get fired, I need this job.” She pleads and gives me the card.
“Of course, I understand. Thank you so much Isabella. You’re the real mvp” I smile at her and she pulls out a notepad and a purple pin. “Uh I was wondering can you uh please can I have both of your autographs.” She smiles brightly.

“Aw, I’m not famous or anything but of course. Do you want Martinez or Styles for the last name?”
“Uh I’ll choose Styles.” She smiles more

Follow your dreams! p.s. your hair is yaaas!!! ~Melanie Styles <3
Believe and Achieve Isabella! ~James Malik p.s. You’re really nice!

“I’m not famous or well-known but thank you for making my day.” James gives her a big hug and she smiles brighter than the rising sun. “Thank you so much Isabella.” I give her a squeeze and James and I take off.

*SKIPS CAR RIDE*
“Okay so what kind of medicine does Hannah need?” We walk through the medicine the huge isle. “Uh my mom use to give her a clear medicine and it tasted like cherries. It was kind of like a vitamin to help her have strength.” We look at all the medicine and finally found the right one.

“Okay so let’s go get groceries.” I grab the kart and we made our way to the food section. “So what do we need?” James asks as he puts a box of cookies into the kart.
“Well I am going to be making breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day so we need enough food for a week plus snacks.” I grab bread and bagels.

“Can we get some tea?” James holds a container of tea bags. “Yes I love tea.” I smile and grab another box and we continue our shopping. We go into the meat isle and get bacon, sausage, turkey and ham.

“Mel are we going to have enough money for all this food.” He asks concern. “Of course we will I have enough money to but my own jet plane.” I look for the cereal aisle.

“Whatever you want I’ll buy.” We find the cereal and I grab mine and Harry’s favorite box. James starts to look at all the types of cereal. “You know Jessica likes Lucky Charms.” I smile. “How did you know I was going to ask.” He looks at me with red cheeks.

“Just had a feeling. So do you like her?” I smile brightly. “What, naah.” He tries to play it off but he does not know how to lie. “Jessica likes you a lot, you know that right.” He blushes more.

“Can you tell me more about her?” He smiles. “Like everything?” I ask and he shakes his head yes. I push the kart and start to tell him about Jessica. “She use to have a big crush on Lou but she started to get over him when she started dance, that’s when she met Hannah.”
“And me.” He says under his breath. “Huh?” I heard what he said but I want to make sure it was correct.

“She started coming over to our house to practice with Hannah and I saw her once and awhile. She was over there like every other day but it was for practice.” He said and put a gallon of milk in the kart with two cartons of eggs.

“She was head over heels for Lou but started talking about a guy. He was tall, skinny, wore black skinny jeans, and had a bunch a tats all over his left arm.” I stop in my tracks and look at his appearance.

“It’s you, she’s in love with you! Omg she loves you!” I say much more loudly than expected. “What do you mean she is in love with me, I’m just a loner that has the worst rep in our school? I made Gemma kills herself, no one should love a person like me. I’m a killer, a murderer.” He sighs out.

“James don’t say that. I know it wasn’t your fault. I believe that you are innocent. Jessica really likes you a lot, she wouldn’t shut up about you, and she constantly talks about you.” I give him a big hug.

“Thank you Mel, I just hope the guys won’t get mad if we do end up together. I miss Gemma every day but I need to move on in my life.” He hugs me more.
“I understand James. It’s okay to move on.” I continue to hug him in the middle of the chip aisle.

“Thank you Mel, for listening. We should get back to the gang. Hannah needs medicine.” He grabs three bags of chips and we head to the cash register.

As we pay for the food Harry texts me and he doesn’t seem too happy. I don’t want to leave him on read but I don’t want to reply. We grab all our things and head to the car to load it up. I look at the message again and reply.

H= Harry M=Melanie
H: Where the hell are you??
M: I’m at the store with James.
H: Why the hell didn’t you wake me up, I could have went with you!

M: I did try and wake you up! You didn’t want to get up!
H: Well you could have tried harder!
M: Harold I’m not having this fight with you, bye

H: When you get here, you are going to be sorry!
M: Whatever, and we are here come and help get the food off the car.

I put my phone in my pocket and watch as the sun is barely coming up. “What time is it Mel?” James says as he makes a turn into the hotel parking lot.

“It’s 4:30.” I unbuckle my seatbelt and hop out of the car. “Harry should be out in a minute to help with the groceries.” I say as I grab some bags. “I’m right here.” I hear a grumble and turn around to hand him a bag.

We finally got everything down and head the back way. James swipes the card and it buzzes and lets us in. We walk to the front of the lobby and see a person with a camera talking to Isabella.

We get down and hide behind the counter and I hear their conversation. “I’m sorry I’m not allowed to give out room numbers of our guest.” She says sternly.
“Do you know when Mr. and Mrs. Styles will be having their outings?” The guy says in aggravation. “I’m not their keeper, I’m just the lobby person.” She says back just as sassy as the guy.

“Now I will have to ask you to leave or I will be calling the authorities for harassment.” She puts her hand on the phone but takes it off as he says fine and leaves.

We wait to make sure he is gone and nobody else is in sight. “Hey Isabella, what was that all about?” I say. “Oh there are so many news people trying to get photos of you and Harold. All of them want to know your plans and room number. There really crazy.” She hands me a whole bunch of buissness cards.

“What are these?” I look at her confused. “They told me to give them to you, so you can call for an interview. They seem really eager to talk to both of you.

You can call me anytime if they give you any trouble, I’m always here, except right now. I have to go clean up some rooms.” She hands me the last one, grabs a bucket, and a sponge.

“Okay well thank you so much.” We all say and head back up to our room. We put all the food away and James goes and takes care of Hannah. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” Harry grumbles as he locks the door and takes his hoodie off.

“Harold no, I’m not doing this right now.” I walk to the bed and lay down. “Yes, yes you are.” He grabs my feet and pulls me to the edge of the bed. “What the hell are you doing Harry?” I kick and push against his chest.

“I’m going to teach you a lesson baby girl.” He starts to unzip my onesie and I try and stop him. “Harry I’m not in the mood for this.” I zip my onesie up and try to get out of his grip.
“Mel what I’m going to do to you is discipline. I’m not going to hurt you. I just want you to listen to me.” He kisses my lips hard and I kiss back.

Something about him being dominate intrigues me so I let him do what he wanted. “Now I want you to strip out of your pjs and bend over the bed.” He lets out of his grip and I start to strip but I saw my stomach and all I wanted to do was cry.

“Harry I can’t.” My eyes start to dampen. “Baby girl what’s wrong. I’m not forcing you to do this. Just tell me and I’ll stop this.” He comes up and hugs me. “Harry if you see my body you will leave me.” I cry in his arms.

“Melanie, you are so beautiful I would never leave you. I love you Mel, with all my heart.” I look at her. “So if I show you, you will not leave me?” I cry more.

“I promise, I will never leave you.” He kisses my lips and then I start to take my clothes off with my eyes closed shut tightly. I end up in my undergarments and open my eyes and see Harry with tears in his eyes.

“What’s wrong Harry, I told you, you are going to leave me know, aren’t you?” I cry and all I see is Harry get on his knees and start to kiss every scar he saw.

“If I let you know I’m here for you, maybe you’ll love yourself like I love you.” I cry more as he kisses more of my wounds and I feel his tears roll down my tummy. “I love you Harry.” I get on my knees and kiss his lips as we cry together.

“I won’t let these little things slip out of my mouth, but if it’s true it’s you… it’s you they add up too, I’m in love with you and all your little things.” He says to me as he looks me in the eyes and I cry more.

“You’re my teddy bear Harry, I love you.” I wrap my arms around him. He picks me up and lays us on the bed. “I love you too Mel.” He wraps his arms around my bare skin and we fall right to sleep. Content with our love and happiness.
