Wild

I woke up the next morning filled with grief. Today was the day I went back home and the first time being away from Harry. I laid in my bed, not wanting to get up, but then ‘Moves Like Jagger’ began to play on my phone telling me that Harry had sent me a text message. I set that as his ringtone since he looks a lot like Mick Jagger and he dances funny whenever he hears it. I hear it and I can’t help but picture him doing a goofy dance which makes me smile. I grabbed my phone and looked at the message.
‘We’re all coming up to help you pack…’
I felt tears in my eyes at the thought of leaving them, and I knew it would get worse when they actually got here. I sighed and got dressed in sweatpants and Harry’s black sweatshirt that I stole from him, then slipped on my black Ugg boots. I threw my hair up in a messy ponytail, deciding not to put any makeup on since it would just get washed off by the tears anyways. As I started packing the tears in my eyes began to cloud my vision. I had to stop for a moment to compose myself. A few seconds later I heard the door open followed by footsteps coming towards my room. Harry appeared in the doorway, his eyes already red from crying. I dropped the shirt I was holding and ran into his arms. The other boys joined in on the hug and we all just stood there for a long moment in silence. This was going to be harder than I thought.
~.:o:.~
“Flight 1216 to London boarding in two minutes”
Harry’s hand tightened on mine as he heard those words. I gave his hand a squeeze, then turned to the other boys. I hugged Liam first, Daddy Direction. He gave me a brotherly kiss on the forehead and smiled at me.
“Don’t get into too much trouble while you’re gone” he said.
‘Who me? I don’t get into trouble.’ I wrote on my board.
He chuckled and shook his head at me. I then turned to Louis and wrote something for him.
‘My partner in crime. I’ll miss you, Lou’ Louis smiled and gave me a hug.
“I’ll miss you, too.” We let go and next was Zayn, my lazy day buddy.
‘I’m gonna miss my lazy buddy’
“Me too. I won’t have anyone to be lazy with” Zayn said with a pout. “But I’m glad you won’t be around to wake me up so rudely”
I smacked his arm and he laughed.
“I’m kidding. Come here” He pulled me into a hug which I quickly returned.
As I pulled away I pinched his cheek, making him glare at me. I grinned before turning to my little leprechaun. I wrote something on my board for him.
‘Horan hug for the road?’ He smiled and nodded.
“Of course. Come here you.” He pulled me into the bear hug that I would miss so much.
Tears started falling from my cheeks as it all became real. I was really leaving them. The boys that I had grown to know and love. It was a short time, but I feels like I’ve known them forever, grown up with them even. My life wouldn’t be the same without them around. As we pulled away I put Niall in a headlock and gave him a noogie which made the boys crack up laughing. All of them except Harry...
I turned towards the curly haired boy and noticed tears forming in his emerald eyes. Seeing him like that threw me over the edge. I threw my arms around him and we both just broke down for the second time that day.
“Don’t fall in love with any guys while you’re away” Harry said in attempt to joke.
I reached my hand up and smacked him on the back of the head which made him laugh a little. He pulled back slightly before crashing his lips onto mine in a soft yet passionate kiss. The boys and Matt quickly turned their attention elsewhere, pretending to be interested in the wall, ceiling, or floor.
“Flight 1216 to London is now boarding”
Harry and I reluctantly pulled away. He wiped the tears from my cheeks while I wiped his. He smiled slightly.
“Look at what you do to me” he said.
“Oh, before we forget. The boys and I got something for you” Liam said.
He held out a rectangular box with a bow on it. I raised my eyebrows at them.
“Open it” Harry said. I took the box from Liam and pulled the lid off. My eyes widened at what was inside. I pulled out two custom made onesies. One was all black with the Batman logo on it, and the other was a baby blue One Direction one with ‘Harry’s Girlfriend’ printed on the back. I gave Harry a look and he just shrugged.
“I thought we should get you your own so you wouldn’t have to steal mine all the time” he said.
“Like you steal his sweatshirts” Louis added, pointing to the one I was wearing.
‘What? They’re comfy’ I wrote to them.
“Emily...We got to go” Matt said.
I gave the boys one last group hug, then walked with Matt to the security line. I looked back at their sad faces, suddenly having second thoughts about leaving. They waved at me and I gave a weak one in return.
‘I love you’ I signed to them.
“WE LOVE YOU, TOO!” They all yelled back, catching the attention of everyone in the airport. I couldn’t help but smile at them. It would be a tough five months, but I would get through it. I had those five crazy boys to look forward to.
~.:o:.~
“Emily! OH MY GOD I MISSED YOU!!” Jenna yelled as she attacked me in a hug.
She had gone home the day after I woke up from the hospital so she could see her family. The rest of the band went home as well.
‘I missed you, too’ I wrote.
Jenna went to open her mouth, but paused when she heard ‘Moves Like Jagger’ playing from my phone. I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at the text from Harry.
From Harry: I miss you. Come back :’(
To Harry: I miss you, too. I got the perfect thing to cheer you up :) I took a goofy picture of myself then sent it to him. A few seconds later I got another picture back of him and the boys all making hilarious faces. Jenna and I burst out laughing. I quickly saved it to my phone then set it as my background on my phone.
From Harry: That really did cheer me up. It’s my background now :)
To Harry: So is yours :P. I might just put it on Twitter as well
From Harry: You forget about that embarrassing picture I have of you from last week
To Harry: You told me you deleted that!
From Harry: Haha. I couldn’t. It’s just too cute. I got to go. We’re skyping tonight! 10pm. Love you xxx.
To Harry: Love you too xxxx
“You guys are so adorable. I wish Jason would send me cute messages like that” Jenna said from behind me.
‘Jason is too awkward for that’ I wrote on my board.
“True...Anyways, let’s go back to your place and watch movies!” She grabbed my arm and pulled me along before I could answer. I guess we’re going back to my house.
~.:O:.~
“Like this?” Jenna asked as she held up her hand, signing her name.
I nodded and smiled. She was really getting the hang of it. Apparently she had been practicing since she got home so we would be able to talk without people knowing what we were saying. It really annoyed me when people did that to me, but I had to admit that it’s pretty fun to do it myself. Matt and I had a conversation while we waited for our bags at the airport and everyone around us were looking at us like we were crazy. To them it looked like we were just waving our arms around and making weird shapes with our hands. We even got a little kid to tug on his mom’s shirt and as what we were doing.
“I don’t know what I’d do if I were in your position. You know how much I love to talk” Jenna said, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I smiled and nodded, writing something on my board.
‘Believe me. I know’
“Oh, shut up” We were having a great time together until the doorbell rang.
I got up to go answer it and immediately regretted it. In the doorway stood the one person I never wanted to see again. The one who treated me like I was nothing...Who hated me from the day I was born...The one who left me motherless.
What is she doing here?
