Emily’s POV
“HARRY!!” I screamed.
For a split second I thought I lost him. The bus drove in front of me, blocking my view. For that split second, I didn’t breathe. My whole world came crashing down around me and I felt sick to my stomach. Then the bus passed us, revealing that Harry had jumped back out of the way at the last second. He made his way over to me and I threw my arms around him, tears falling from my eyes. I held onto him for dear life, completely relieved that he was alright. Then I remembered what he did. How he just stepped out into traffic, scaring the hell out of me, and nearly got killed just to make me talk. Boy was I pissed. I pushed him back and slapped him across the face.
“YOU IDIOT! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE HELL YOU JUST PUT ME THROUGH! I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOURSELF KILLED!” I continued to scream at him, occasionally hitting him to make a point.
He just stood there, grinning at me as I went off on him. I felt like shoving him back out into traffic. That’s how mad I was. It made me even more angry to see that grin on his face. He thought this was funny. That it was just all fun and games. He had no idea that I had been through hell during that five minute stunt he pulled. The boys weren’t too happy about it either.
“Harry are you crazy! What is wrong with you!” Louis yelled.
“I can’t believe you right now!” Liam added.
“You almost gave poor Emily a heart attack!” Niall said. Harry just laughed.
“You guys are missing the big picture here. Emily can talk again!”
Everyone paused and realized that he was telling the truth. They started cheering, completely forgetting their anger for Harry. Zayn was first to pull me into a big hug, then everyone just joined in with happy smiles on their faces.
“Say something else!” Louis said.
“Something else..” I mumbled.
“Yeah! She's back!”
“Oh, She is back alright, and she is pissed”
After hearing that everyone seemed to back off. Harry suddenly looked nervous. Yeah. That’s right curly. You better be.
~.:o:.~
Harry’s POV
Uh oh. I did not like the look she was looking at me. If looks could kill I would so be dead right now. I waited for her to slap me again or yell, but she didn’t do either. Instead she just stood there, arms crossed, glaring at me. I think her silence is scarier than anything else.
“Emily, I know what I did was dangerous, but at least it gave you the courage to talk again”
“I don’t care, Harry! You could have died. You have no idea how horrible that feeling is”
“Actually I do” I snapped. “I almost lost you too, you know! I know what it feels like!”
“At least I didn’t do it on purpose!”
“I don’t get why you’re so pissed about this! I did it to help you! It’s not like I was actually going to stay in the road either. I would have jumped out of the way regardless. I was trying to make you happy”
“Well I’m not happy!”
“No, you’re too busy yelling at me for something stupid!” I immediately regretted saying that the moment the words left my mouth. A hurt look spread across her face and I saw tears in her eyes.
“You think the fact that I care about you is stupid?” she said softly. “Fine then. I won’t care anymore. Go jump in front of another bus”
She turned and walked off leaving me frozen in my place. What did I just do?
“Nice going, Harry” Louis snapped at me before running after her.
The boys all gave me nasty looks before doing the same. I let out a deep sigh and sat down against a building, my head in my hands. This wasn’t going like I planned. I hoped that Emily would talk and everyone would be happy again, but I was wrong. I didn’t think about how she would feel when I ran out into traffic. I knew what it felt like to almost lost the one you care about most, and it’s something that I would never put on anyone, but I made Emily feel it. God I’m such an idiot.
~.:o:.~
Emily’s POV
I can’t believe him. How could he say that? Deep down I knew that he probably never meant it, but hearing the words come out of his mouth hurt me. I knew I should be happy and grateful to him for helping me speak again, but I wasn’t. He would be leaving in an hour to go back on tour, and our last words were a big fight. Not exactly what I wanted the day to end with.
“Emily?” I turned to see Louis standing behind me with a concerned look on his face. He reached up and wiped the tears from my cheeks, then pulled me into a hug.
“Why would he say that, Lou?”
“I don’t know, Emily. I don’t think he actually meant to”
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have started yelling at him” Louis pulled away and gave me a look.
“Girl you had every right to be mad” he said in a gay voice. I couldn’t help but laugh. Louis smiled at me. “There’s that smile. How about we go back to your house and hang out before we leave for the airport?”
“Ok”
~.:o:.~
Harry’s POV
I walked into the airport filled with grief. It killed me that I had to leave before I got the chance to fix things with Emily. I sent her multiple apology texts and tried calling her, but she never answered. Liam was the only one of the boys to talk to me, but it was just to tell me that they had my bag and would bring it to the airport. I sat in the VIP lounge and looked through pictures of Emily and me. I couldn't help but smile at some of the goofy ones we took together, but that smile quickly faded when I remembered the look on her face an hour before. So much for a happy break from the tour.
"Harry" I looked up to see Zayn holding my bag out to me. I took it and mumbled a thanks before putting my head back down.
"I'm an idiot. I don't know what I was thinking when I said that. She probably hates me now" I said quietly.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that" I lifted my head up to see Zayn grinning at me.
I gave him a confused look and he pointed off into the crowd. I was about to ask him what he was pointing at, but stopped when I saw her. She was smiling warmly at me as she walked towards us. I couldn't help myself any longer. I shot up from my seat and ran over to her, pulling her into my arms.
"I'm so sorry, Emily. I didn’t mean any of it! I’m sorry I put you through that. I won’t do it every again. I promise!” I kept rambling about how sorry I was until she cut me off by pressing her lips to mine.
My arms automatically wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to deepen it. After a few moments she pulled away, much to my disappointment, and smiled at me.
“Harry, I forgive you, but I’m still mad at you”
“Well, if you kiss me like that every time you’re mad I should piss you off more often” I said with a cheeky grin.
She rolled her eyes.
“Don’t push it”
“Ok, I’m sorry”
“I really hate to break this up, but we have to get going” Zayn said.
I turned back to Emily and gave her one last kiss, then pulled her into a bear hug. It would only be two more months, but I’d still miss her like crazy. Seeing her these past few days has made it loads easier though, and at least I had a good break from the tour.
“I wish you could be coming with us” I said into her hair. “I know, but I have to go see Ryan about getting back into the studio. It’s only two months, Harry. You’ll survive. At least now I can call you”
“Yeah. Tell me what happens with Ryan okay?”
“I will. Now get going. The boys are waiting for you” She stepped back, but I stepped forwards with her and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
“I love you”
“I love you, too, Haz.”
Zayn handed me my bag and I gave Emily a little wave before following him towards the plane where the boys were. They all looked up at me as we walked in.
“Well...Are you two back together?” Louis asked.
“Yep” I said with a grin. He smiled and gave me a pat on the shoulder.
“You’re first couple fight and make up. You’re growing up so fast” He pretended to cry into Liam’s shoulder and I just rolled my eyes.
“Let’s just get onto the plane”
~.:o:.~
Emily’s POV
“So, how did it go?” Jenna and Zoe asked as I got into the car.
“Great. He was so happy to see me. The look on his face was just adorable”
“You two are like the perfect couple. You get into a fight and not even an hour later you’re back together” Zoe said.
“Cause we’re like Na Na Na, then we’re like ya ya ya” I said with a serious look on my face.
Zoe looked at me in utter confusion which caused me to burst out laughing. Jenna joined in, obviously getting the joke I just made.
“What?! Tell me what’s funny!” Zoe whined.
“Naw, you hang out with Niall long enough and you’ll figure it out”
“Fine. Be that way” She huffed and we drove out of the parking lot towards Starlit Records where I was going to talk with Ryan about getting back in the game. When we got there Zoe and Jenna sat in the waiting area while I went up to greet the receptionist.
“Hey, Miranda” I said. Her eyes widened.
“Oh my goodness! You can talk again!”
“Yeah. Is Ryan here?”
“Um, yes, but he’s in the studio with someone”
“Ok, I’ll just wait outside” I made my way over to the recording room, intending on waiting outside the door, but I was stopped when I accidentally bumped into someone.
“Oh, I’m sor-” I froze the moment I realized who it was...my mother.
“You can speak again! Oh that’s wonderful!” she said going to hug me. I stepped back and stared at her.
“What are you doing here?” I asked in a harsh tone.
“Oh, didn’t you hear? Bella got a record deal. In face, she’s in recording right now. You should hear this new song she’s singing. It’s amazing. I think you wrote it actually”
“What?!” I pushed past her and threw open the studio door.

Ryan turned in his chair, eyes widening at the sight of me, but I just stared at the person who was sitting on a couch behind him. He looked exactly the same as I remembered him from eight months ago. Same dark hair and brown eyes, and the same wicked grin on his face that he had when he broke my heart.

“Eric...”
“Hello, Emily. You look great. How are you?”
I ignored his question and turned to see Bella in the booth singing my song. My eyes landed on Ryan who looked annoyed.
“What the hell is going on here?!”
“You can speak again?”
“No shit, Sherlock. What is that bitch doing singing my song?!”
“It’s not your song anymore. You lost it the moment you lost your voice. It’s now the property of Starlit Records”
“What?! You can’t do that! I wrote that song!”
“Actually, I can. It was in your contract. If something ever happened to you that would make you unable to sing, then all recorded music becomes our property”
“It’s only been three months! How could you do this to me?! You knew how much those songs mean to me! And you!” I turned to Eric. “What the hell are you doing here?!”
“I’m Bella’s lead guitarist. I should really be thanking you Emily, because if you hadn’t lost your voice in that fire then we wouldn’t have gotten this record deal” he said with a smirk.
My hands clenched into fists as I tried to control my emotions. I couldn’t believe it. Everything that I had worked so hard for and poured my heart into was gone. I felt tears forming in my eyes and I ran out of the room so they wouldn’t see me cry. Jenna and Zoe stood up as I walked over to them, concern shown on their faces.
“Emily, what’s wrong?” Jenna asked.
“Can we please leave?” My voice cracking as I spoke.
“Of course, come on”
The girls wrapped their arms around me and we all walked out to the car. I sat in back with Zoe and the moment the door shut I just broke down. Zoe tried to soothe me, but it didn’t help. There was only one person who could make me feel better. Who could wrap his arms around me and tell me everything would be alright. But that person was on a flight back to America for the next two months. Harry.
