Harry’s POV

“Have you seen Carly?” I asked Louis as he stepped off the bus.

“Not since she went to lay down. Maybe check her bed?” Louis shrugged and walked away.

I already checked there. Maybe she’s in my bunk. I walked back through the bus to the bed area and found Carly sleeping in my bunk. She was curled up next to the wall so I sat down next to her and set my hand on her thigh.

“Carly” I whispered. “Babe”

“Hmm?” She hummed and rolled over.

“Hi babe, we’re in Ohio.” I heard rustling from behind me and when I turned around I saw Zayn rubbing his eyes. “Hey.”

“Hey” Zayn didn't really pay any mind to us as he mumbled it.

“So we get to get off the bus?!” She seemed so eager to get off the bus so I stood while nodding. “Finally!” She almost yelled standing up and walking toward the front of the bus but then she turned around with a frown. “I need my shoes.”

I looked down at my feet and saw her Converse sitting on the floor. I picked them up and handed them to her with a mocking smile. She stuck her tongue out at me before taking them and slipping them on. I followed her off the bus when she was done; we stepped out onto the hard asphalt and looked around.

“You guys have today off right?” She asked looking up at me.

“Yup.” I nodded, slipping my hand into hers.

“Sweet.” She seemed happy but I could tell she was holding something back.

“Let’s go see what the plans for today are.” I led the way to the tent where everyone was.

“-Golfing today.” I only heard the last part of what Niall was saying.

“Well, have fun with that.” Louis said jokingly.

“Harry, wanna go with me?” Niall asked looking at me.

“Sure.” I shrugged then looked down at Carly who sneezed.

“I’ll spend the day with Carly so she isn't alone.” Zayn offered with a smile.

“Actually, I already have plans to work out with Liam today.” She looked at Liam and he nodded after a second.

That obviously wasn’t planned. What’s really going on?

“Okay.” Zayn sighed and clenched his jaw.

“So, we should probably go get changed.” Niall could tell it was awkward and was trying to help.

“Okay.” I nodded and leaned down so my mouth was next to Carly’s ear, I pushed her hair back and cupped her cheek. “You okay?” I asked and kissed her cheek.

“Mhm” She hummed but I knew that she was trying to say no.

“Well, I’m gonna go get ready.” I leaned back and looked around at the group.

“I’m gonna go change too.” She lied and walked away with me.

We walked in silence until we got into the bus. She led me to the back of the bus and looked at me. Sadness covered her face.

“Are you okay? What happened?” I asked protectively.

“Shhh.” She gestured for me to be quieter. “I already took care of it but… Zayn kissed me earlier when I was trying to comfort him about his break up with Perrie.”

“Are you fucking kidding me?! Why didn't you tell me earlier?”

“Because I took care of it. I was going to tell you tonight but then he had to be a jackass about it. I’m sorry. I wanted to wait until you had time to cool off before seeing him but that didn't work.” She looked genuinely sorry about it.

“It’s fine. I shouldn’t take it out on you, it’s him I’m mad at.” I leaned down and kissed her cheek. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, I understand.” She smiled slightly. “I need to go talk to Liam.”

“Okay.” I moved so she could leave and then looked down at the floor.

“Hey Harry” I turned around to the sound of her voice. “You're all I need, I love you.”

“I love you too Carly.” We both smiled and she walked off the bus.

Uh oh!
