I don’t know how long I stood there screaming for. But it probably wasn’t that long. My throat started getting dry so I ended up stopping and just staring at Harry and Beth who were staring right back at me. It was like they could see through my façade of being dealing with Lucas’s death, yet they couldn’t see through it at the same time.

“Beth go back to my house.” I instructed my best friend, but my eyes stayed directly on Harry.

My blue eyes took in his features. I started at his curly hair, then slowly made my way down the side of his face and traced the outline of his jaw. Then my eyes went to his nose, then his fucking full lips that I had a strong urge to kiss. Then my eyes made their way slowly up to his green eyes. The eyes I had once known how to read like a picture book. But now it was like I was looking into a strangers eyes and I didn’t like it. We’d both changed yet at the same time we hadn’t. We both knew how the other worked, we just had to figure out all the new details.

I hadn’t noticed Beth’s slight objection and then her departure. I was too focused on Harry. Just like he was too focused on me. We were in our own little world. It was like time had stopped still yet it hadn’t. Only we had stopped moving. We were taking each other in and I wasn’t sure how I felt about him taking in my features. All my imperfections.

“Why do you want me to go on tour with you?” I said just loud enough for him to hear. He was only a few meters away, so I hadn’t said it that loudly.

“Because it would do you some good.” He answered after hesitating for a few seconds.

“That’s the only reason?” I asked slowly. Not sure if I wanted to hear his answer or not.

“Yep.” He said popping the p.

“So it has nothing to do with how I’m apparently yours?”

At that Harry sighed and flung his head back so he could look at the sky. I wasn’t sure what to make of that but I knew that I was bracing myself for whatever answer he might give me.

“Kim I was drunk last night. I only said that because I had had too much to drink. There’s no way I’d ever go out with you.” He replied calmly as he straightened his head to look at me. “Besides I don’t want to be in a relationship. Means the girls will stop chasing me.” He added with a cheeky grin.

I stayed silent for a minute or so. My blue eyes searching his green for any sign of him lying but we both knew I wouldn’t find any sign of it. And for some odd reason that hurt. It hurt to know he’d never go out with me. It was like he thought he was too good for me and that hurt. More than I was willing to admit.

“Fine I’ll go on tour with you.” I said coldly.

Harry cocked his eyebrow at my tone but didn’t say anything about it. Instead his famous cheeky grin stayed on his lips as he wiggled his eyebrows. “Sure you can handle be around five immature guys?”

“Sure you can handle an emotional teenage girl?” I shot back.

“Darling we handle them every day.” He replied, sending me a wink.

Rolling my eyes, I tried to hide the smile but it managed to appear on my face. “Just come over here and pick me up. I mean there’s no way I’m walking all the way back to my house.” I said raising my eyebrow expectantly.

Fortunately for me, Harry accepted my request. Picking me up bridal style he started walking me back to my house. It still felt nice being in his arms. Even though I was never going to admit that to anyone.

“Can Beth come on tour too?” I asked, knowing I needed to do some serious making up because of the way I’d been treating her.

“That was already gonna happen love.” His warm breath tickled my ear, making me giggle softly.

“Good. At least with her with me, it’ll make the whole tour a bit more bearable.” I teased.

“Please you know you’re excited to be on tour with One Direction.” He said rather arrogantly.

“Someone’s got a big ego.” I commented.

“That’s not the only big thing I have.” He said, sending me another week.

And that’s when it hit me that I had possibly just made the biggest mistake of my life by agreeing to go on tour with one direction.
