Harry’s POV
We got off the plane and went straight to the news studio for an interview. As we waited to go on I decided to check my phone to see if Emily called, but found a bunch of other voice mails and texts from Matt and Jenna. I opened up the first text from Jenna and read it over.
From Jenna: Harry something happened when Emily went to see Ryan. She was really upset when she got done talking to him and now she’s just gone.
From Matt: Call me as soon as possible. Emily is gone and we don’t know where she is. She just packed her bags and left.
I didn’t even bother listening to the voice mails. I quickly dialed her number and waited impatiently for her to pick up, but she didn’t. Now I was worried. Why didn’t she tell anyone she was leaving and where is she now? I got up out of my chair and started pacing the room, still trying to get a hold of her. Louis looked at me oddly.
“What’s wrong Harry?” he asked.
“Emily is gone”
“What?” Niall asked.
“Something must have happened with Ryan that upset her and when she got home she just packed her bags and left. No one knows where she is, and she’s not answering my calls”
“Alright, let’s just stay calm. She probably just went on a little vacation. I mean, do you honestly blame her? After all that’s happened I think she deserves a little time to herself” Liam said.
“Yeah...You’re probably right...” I said.
I quit trying to call her, but sent her a quick text telling her to call me as soon as she got it. It wasn’t long before Paul came and got us for the interview, and I was forced to push my feelings aside. Before going on, however, I gave him my phone and told him to keep it in case Emily called. Hopefully she would contact me, telling me where she was so I could stop worrying about her.
~.:o:.~
The interview went well. I was asked about how Emily was doing and I lied, telling them that she was just fine back home in the UK. They also asked about her birthday party and the day after that when she slapped me across the face for running out into traffic. That story got a few laughs. The boys and I acted like nothing was wrong, but we all knew. I couldn’t help but worry about her through the whole interview and ride back to the hotel. So many scenarios were running through my head, like her just taking a small vacation or even scarier ones where she was kidnapped or stuck somewhere. I didn’t care where she was or who she was with. I just wanted to know that she was okay.
After the concert I just laid on my bed staring at the ceiling and waiting for her to call. My cell phone resting on my chest. I probably should be sleeping because we had another long day tomorrow, but I couldn’t. Not until I knew she was alright. I was jolted out of my thoughts by the sound of someone knocking on the door.
“Who is it?” I called.
When I got no answer I decided to get up and see for myself. I looked through the peephole to make sure it wasn’t just a crazy fan or someone else, and my eyes widened when I saw who it was. Her brown hair was tied up in a messy ponytail and her eyes looked red like she had been crying. I threw the door open and pulled her inside, then shut the door behind her. My arms immediately wrapped around her and she just broke down in my arms. I talked to her soothingly as she just let it all out. Ryan must have said something horrible to make her like this. I was curious as to what happened, but decided not to ask her about it until she calmed down.
Once she calmed down I lifted her into my arms, then carried her into the bedroom and set her down before laying next to her. I wrapped my arms back around her, telling her that everything would be alright. After what seemed like hours of just laying there I finally gathered up the courage to ask her what happened, and I didn’t like what I heard. She told me about everything, including what happened before with her mother and this Bella girl who was apparently her step-sister. It made me so angry. How could they do this to her? Especially after all she’s been through.
“I don’t know what I did to make them hate me so much” she said through her tears.
“Hey. You didn’t do anything wrong. Forget them. They’re blind if they can’t see how amazing you are. I’ll figure out a way to help you, don’t worry. In the meantime you should probably call your dad and let him know that you’re alright”
I held out my phone to her and she sighed before taking it and dialing in his number.
“He’s probably gonna yell at me and tell me to come home”
“Then I’ll tell him”
I took the phone from her and held it to my ear. It rang a couple times before he answered.
“Have you found her?”
“Yeah. She’s here with me”
“Thank god. Put her on. I want to speak with her”
Emily gave me a panicked look, but I gave her a reassuring smile.
“She’s asleep right now. I’ll have her call you when she wakes up”
“Alright...Did you find out what was wrong?”
“Yes, but I’ll speak to you about that later. I don’t want to wake her”
Emily leaned over and kissed my cheek.
‘Thank you’ she mouthed.
“Ok. Oh, and one more thing...Absolutely no funny business with her or I’ll hunt you down”
“I won’t, Sir”
“Good. Remember, call me”
“I will, Sir”
He hung up and I set my phone back on the side table, then turned to say something to Emily but she was fast asleep. I kissed her forehead before pulling her closer to me. I watched her sleep for a while before I felt my eyes start to get heavy. Soon I drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Emily POV
“There has to be something you can do”
I woke up to the sound of Harry’s voice as he spoke to someone on the phone. I opened my eyes and saw him standing out on the hotel balcony overlooking the city. He seemed really frustrated over whatever the person was saying over the phone.
“Simon, please. At least listen to her sing....Next week we have a few days off. I can bring her then.....Alright. You won’t be disappointed”
I got up and walked over to him.
“Who were you talking to?” I asked.
He turned around and smiled at me.
“Well, like the awesome boyfriend I am, I got you an audition at Syco. You and I are going to fly there next week when we take a break from the tour”
“What?! Are you serious?!”
“I’m dead serious”
“Oh my god! Thank you!” I threw my arms around him, nearly causing him to fall over.
“I know. I’m amazing. Now can I get something in return?” he asked with a smirk.
I pulled away and raised my eyebrows.
“That depends...What do you want?” He grinned and pointed to his lips.
I rolled my eyes, then pressed my lips to his. He pulled me closer, tongue sliding across my bottom lip to ask for entrance. I decided to tease him for a bit and kept my mouth closed. He let out a growl of frustration and suddenly grabbed onto my butt. I gasped and he took the chance to slip his tongue into my mouth. The cheater.
“HARRY EDWARD STYLES! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
We both turned to see Louis standing on the balcony beside us, a shocked look on his face. His face turned to relief when he saw me.
“Oh, Emily. Thank god. I thought Harry was cheating with some other chick. I was going to come over and kick his ass”
“Hey!” Harry said.
“Aw. Lou! If you were over here I’d hug you”
“Well okay”
He started to climb up on the balcony like he was going to jump over.
“LOUIS TOMLINSON DON’T YOU DARE!” I yelled.
“But...”
“No! I’ll come over there”
“Okay!” I walked back into the hotel room, hearing Harry say something to Louis about ruining the moment. I smiled to myself then went over to Louis’ room and knocked on the door. I heard him running towards the door, then a thump, followed by more running. A second later he opened the door and I laughed.
“Did you just trip?”
“Psh...No....Okay, yes. Yes, I did. Now give me a hug!” I laughed and hugged him.
“I missed you!”
“Lou, it’s only been a day”
“So?! I can’t go a minute without you! We’re going to get married and fly off on our
magic carrot and having carrot babies in our carrot kingdom!”
“I don’t think so.” Harry said as he pulled me into his arms. “If anyone is marrying her it’s me”
“Hey! It’s Emily!” Zayn’s voice said from further down the hallway, Liam by his side.
“Hi, Zayn! Hi, Liam!”
“Hey. What are you doing here?” Zayn asked.
“Well...” I trailed off, not really wanting to talk about it.
“She just missed me so much that she decided to spend an extra few weeks with me” Harry answered for me.
“Hey! What about us? Didn’t you miss us?” Liam said with a pout.
“Of course I did, Liam. Harry just thinks he’s my favorite”
“Ha!” Liam said to Harry.
“After all I did for you! I can’t believe this!” Harry turned away, crossing his arms, and pretended to be mad. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist.
“I love you, Hazza”
I gave him my best innocent face, and the corners of his lips twitched as he held back his smile. Well, since Plan A didn’t work I guess it’s time for Plan B. I moved my hands to his sides and easily found his ticklish spot. He burst out laughing and wriggled out of my arms. A triumphant grin made its way across my face.
“You cheater”
“Oh, I’m the cheater? What was that out on the balcony, huh?”
“What? You were being a tease!”
“So that gives you free access to my ass then?”
“AHH!! MY MIND!!” Niall yelled.
He had appeared somewhere during our little banter session and had completely gotten the wrong idea. It took me a moment to figure out what he was freaking out about, and when I did my face turned beat red.
“OH MY GOD, NO! That’s not what I was talking about!” The boys burst out laughing, thinking it was the most hilarious thing they had ever heard.
“Shut up!”
“We’re just teasing, love. Come on, let’s go to breakfast” Harry said.
“FOOD!” Niall and I yelled at the same time.
We looked at each other and laughed.
“To the dining room!” I said in a heroic sounding voice.
“AWAAAYYY!” Niall said as he ran down the hall.
I ran after him, leaving the boys in a fit of laughter. Niall ran past a room without any problems, but when I did I ended up running straight into none other than Paul Higgins. I landed on the floor with a thump.
“Emily?” he asked.
“Holy crap Paul! I feel like I ran into a rock!” He chuckled and pulled me to my feet.
“What are you doing here?”
“I needed a break from home. I can leave if it’s going to be a hassle for you”
“No! No! Of course not! You’re like a daughter to me, and Harry loves having you around. You’re welcome anytime”
I smiled and gave him a hug.
“Thanks, Paul”
“Emily! You alright?!” Harry asked worriedly as he ran up with the other three boys.
“Yeah, I’m fine”
“Okay, good, because you just plowed into him and it looked like it hurt”
“Psh. I’ll be alright. I’ve been through worse. Anyways, we better get down to Niall before he eats the whole place”
