The Chosen One
Home Again
Chapter 5: Home Again
I had been on the bus for about a half hour, swallowed by my thoughts, when I received a new text message. It was from Harry!
Mads, I am so sorry for my actions. I get that sort of way when ive had a few. I know we just met and you probably weren’t expecting what happened. The boys and I still would love if you came on tour with us. We have a day break after tomorrow’s concert on the 20th and that is when you can join in. Let me know, love. xx –H
Of course, I thought… Harry Styles would never kiss me if he weren’t slightly drunk the way he was tonight. I mean we were both acting pretty crazy tonight, and we did just meet earlier after all. My mind was somehow eased knowing that things weren’t really going to get complicated. I still thought he was the most gorgeous and sweetest thing to grace the earth, but it didn’t mean he had to feel the same way towards me. It also didn’t mean that I needed to drool all over him when we were together if I did go on the tour. We were starting a really nice friendship before that miniscule little kiss happened. I knew I still would love to tour with them. It would be a one in a life time chance, and those don’t come along very often.
If Harry wanted me to join the tour the day after tomorrow, I would need to talk with my parents right away. Hopefully they wouldn’t be too upset with me getting home late. I definitely wouldn’t be able to tell them that I drank, and also about that kiss.
When I finally got home my parents were thankfully asleep. I tiptoed up the stairs, threw off my purse, changed into comfortable clothes, and snuggled straight into bed. It was a wild night, and I really needed some well rested sleep.
When I woke up the next morning, I immediately checked my phone to make sure that text from Harry was real, to make sure the whole night was real. It quite honestly all could have been a dream, because it certainly felt like it.
I went downstairs to find both of my parents home. I wondered why, it was a Wednesday after all. I asked, “What are you guys home for?”
My dad sarcastically replied, “And it’s nice to see you too honey.”
I smiled and said, “You know what I mean.”
“You’re mom and I are on vacation this week, remember? We drove you to the concert yesterday!”
Remembering, I said, “Oh! That’s right! I completely forgot.”
“Must have been one crazy night for you to forget that, huh?” My mom cut in.
“Yeah. I have so much to tell you!” I said.
I started with the beginning right from when I told them goodbye. Not missing any details…at first. They both laughed and smiled in the right places of my recollection of the night’s events. Surprisingly they weren’t mad about the party I had attended. My mom even told me a story about one of her teenage excursions after a concert with friends. I really didn’t need to know.
Then I got to the important part, asking them about going on tour with One Direction. They both looked really concerned and confused. They hammered me with questions about where I would be going, what I would be doing, and who I would be doing everything with. I tried my best to come up with good answers, which I didn’t really know. I figured to myself that I would find out once I was actually on the tour.
After a lot, and I mean a lot, of consideration, they finally approved. I was going to be a crew person for the One Direction Take Me Home Tour! I had some many things I needed to do. First thing was first, I had to call Harry.
I dialed his number and the phone rang.
“Hello?” Harry said
“Hey! It’s me.” I replied
“Mad’s! It’s so good to hear from you! Since you didn’t reply to my text, I was worried you would forget about everything.”
“No, I completely forgot to respond to be honest! I am such a ditz!” I laughed.
“No you’re perfect. So tell me, what’s the verdict?” He sounded eager to hear the news.
“Well, when can you pick me up?” I said cheekily.
“Yes! That’s great news Mads! I have already arranged what you will be doing. You will get informed more about that when you get here. We will have a plane ticket ready for you at the airport so you can just fly to our next destination, which is Atlanta.”
“That’s great!” I exclaimed.
“I know! I can’t wait to see you again.” Harry said.
“Same here.”
“Get packing Mads. The boys and me have an interview to get to.” I could tell he was smiling.
“Have a great show tonight Haz, don’t go pulling any other girls on stage.” I told him cheekily.
He laughed and said, “No worries, safe travels love. Goodbye!”
“Goodbye.” I said as I hung up the phone.
I then ran up to my room and started to pack a suitcase, excitedly throwing in everything I saw first. What was I going to need? Lord, I am such a girl was all I could think. Soon I was going to be starting a whole new chapter of the summer, of my life, with One Direction.
