The Happiest Place On Earth

Chapter 9: Give Myself A Try

A few days had passed and for most of it, the boys were back in LA doing a couple of press releases their management planned. It was now Wednesday and the boys finally had the rest of their vacation to actually relax and just have fun, so they decided they would plan a surprise for Kaylani to cheer her up.

While they stayed in LA they all continued to talk to Kaylani, Alanis, and Jake. They even had Al and Jake fill them in on how Kay was doing. Jake mentioned that she was slowly getting better, but was still a little sad. With Jake and Alanis's help the boys planned a surprise visit to Kaylani's house and then wanted to take her out for the day. They made sure everything would be a surprise.

Kaylani was sitting in her music room writing a song when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

From: Alanis

Hey babe. Jake and I are grabbing food for us all then coming over in 20.


Kaylani was grateful for her best friends. She had to admit that she still wasn't feeling her best, but she was slowly getting there. With the help of Jake and Alanis it was slightly easier. She kind of wished Harry was there though. He promised he would talk to her all the time, and so far he had kept that promise but yesterday he didn't text her at all. She didn't really think anything of it, but today was the same story. She knew they had been pretty busy the past few days, but she knew for a fact starting today they were back on vacation. But now that she thought about it none of the boys had talked to her yesterday or today.

To: Alanis

Alright. I'm in the studio so I won't hear the door, just use the spare key and come in.



She had just finished writing a song and she wanted to record it so she could see how it sounded. She let her fingers glide across the black and white keys of the piano like she had done so many times before. She played the song completely through before pressing a few keys on the sound board and heading into the recording booth. Grabbing the headphones off the mic stand, she adjusted the volume so she could hear the piano through them. She decided she wanted the song to be mainly acoustic, but she would probably add a few beats later on. When she heard the familiar first chords, she put her heart and soul into the words she sang.

I looked in the mirror and realised,
I can be the one, be the one to change the world
Even though it seems impossible, sometimes
And I'm like maybe, just maybe,
Even though I'm not first place at the finish line,
I still won a prize inside, I tried.

Now I can't do everything, no.
I am still gonna try, gonna try my best,
But I will do anything, yeah,
Anything for this dream of mine, yeah.

I'm gonna give myself a try,
Oh Oh Oh Oh,
My aim is to win,
So I'm gonna rise,
I promise to live,
Until the day I die,
I gotta give myself a try.

People try to, try to bring me down,
But no matter what, I'm never gonna ever change,
No matter what they try to say, to me,
I'm a winner, not a quitter, (loser)
And that is just the way that it's always gonna be,
That it's gonna be, gonna be.

Now I can't do everything, no.
I am still gonna try, gonna try my best,
But I will do anything, yeah,
Anything for this dream of mine, yeah.

I'm gonna give myself a try,
Oh Oh Oh Oh,
My aim is to win,
So I'm gonna rise,
I promise to live,
Until the day I die,
I gotta give myself a try.

Imma keep my head up to the sky,
'til I make it there,
Imma keep on pushing, keep on believing,
Cause my time is near,
I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win, Oh, Oh,
I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win, Oh, Oh,
I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win, Oh, Oh,
I'm gonna win, win, win.

Gotta give myself a try,
Oh Oh Oh Oh,
Gotta give myself a try,
My aim is to win,
So I'm gonna rise,
I promise to live,
Til the day I die,
I gotta give myself a try,
I gotta give myself a try,
I gotta give myself a try,
Gotta win, gotta win, gotta win, gotta win, gotta win,
Gotta win, gotta win, gotta win, gotta win, gotta win,
I gotta give myself a try.


When Kaylani felt satisfied with her vocals she stepped out of the small recording booth and into a seat that was placed behind a desk with an Apple laptop on it. She checked her phone and noticed Al and Jake would be over any minute so she messed around with everything on the track before putting the final pieces together. She didn't notice, but someone was standing in the door watching her put the song together. They had been standing there for a little while, but were quiet enough that Kaylani never noticed. When she was satisfied with the layout of the song, she played it back one time through.

When the song was done playing Kaylani felt a small smile take place on her face. She was happy with the song. She was finally ready to move on and give herself a chance to try and be happy. She let out a happy sigh before turning around to head downstairs to see if Alanis and Jake were here when she was startled by the sight of someone standing in the doorway, smiling at her causing her to jump.

The boy let himself chuckle before walking over and giving her a hug. He had missed her over the past couple days. "I didn't mean to scare you, love."

"Jeez Harry. You don't ever sneak up on me." Kaylani let her arms wrap around his neck as she breathed in his scent. She missed his hugs. They were some of the best she had ever gotten. When she pulled away she remembered what she was going to ask the boy. "What are you doing here? I thought you boys were in LA." Harry let his hands rest on her hips.

"We were but we're finally on an actual vacation. We all decided to come back down and surprise you." Harry was staring into her eyes as he spoke and she never once looked away. That was something he loved about her. He hated it when he would try to talk to people and they would break the gaze.

"KAYLANI!" Harry was pushed off the girl as his four best friends made their way into the room and tackled her in a hug. Each one picked her up off the floor and spun her around before setting her back down. "Were you just recording a song?" Louis's eyes got wide as he noticed the laptop sitting on the desk and a song was just paused. He knew he had heard someone singing when they got there.

"NO!" Kaylani tried to run and close the laptop before anyone could grab it, but she was too late.

"Sorry, love. I know you just recorded a song because I was standing in the doorway the entire time. Nice try though." Harry winked at Kaylani before trying to press play on the laptop. By this time Alanis and Jake were standing in the door watching everyone. They were enjoying the sight before them, but Jake snatched the laptop quick enough that Harry didn't get a chance to press play.

"Leave the poor girl alone." Jake closed the laptop and set it in Kaylani's room before locking the door.

"And this is why Jake and Alanis are my favorite." Kaylani walked over and gave her best friends a hug before heading downstairs to eat. Everyone followed after her and sat there simply talking and eating. "So now that you're all here... what's the plan for today?"

Everyone exchanged a glance before turning to face Kaylani and smiling. "DISNEYLAND!" All seven people screamed at the same time. Kaylani looked at them all and smiled widely. She hadn't been to Disneyland since she first met the boys. It may have only been a few days but considering she goes all the time, it seemed like forever.

"Sweet! Let me go change first." Kaylani had finished eating and ran upstairs to get dressed. By the time she was done she walked downstairs and finally took time to notice what everyone was wearing. She should have been able to guess where they were going if she only payed attention. Liam was wearing a Toy Story shirt, Alanis was wearing a Disneyland jumper, Jake was wearing a jumper with Mickey Mouse on it, and Niall was wearing a shirt with Mickey's hands on it that shaped "LA". Harry was just wearing a grey v-neck, a grey beanie, and jeans while Zayn wore his usual varsity jacket and jeans. When Kaylani changed she threw on a Minnie Mouse jumper, shorts, and her black Pastry hi-tops. She grabbed her purse and sequined Minnie Mouse ears and was ready to go.

When everyone gathered downstairs they headed outside to Kaylani's car. She would be driving the 8-passenger SUV just as she had when she rescued the boys last time. They took up every seat so it ended up being Kaylani driving, Harry in the passenger's seat (he called shotgun and no one was going to argue because they wanted him to sit next to Kaylani anyways), Jake, Alanis and Liam in the middle row and Louis, Niall, and Zayn in the back row. As usual it only took about five minutes to get to the parking structure so once they were parked Kaylani turned off the car and turned around to look at everyone.

"So I'm guessing you all had this planned without telling me which means Al, I'm guessing Chris warned the park and security is tripled?" Alanis shook her head and smiled at her best friend knowing she was right. "And let me guess, all we have to do is take the elevator down to the first floor of the parking structure because we're going into the park through the back entrance so securty is waiting to escort us in?" Once again, Alanis smiled in response. "Alright, let's go."

The group took the elevator down to the first floor of the parking structure and was greeted by someone from security. To Kaylani's surprise it was actually her cousin.

"Wade!" Kaylani ran over and hugged her cousin who gladly hugged her back. Wade was a few years older than Kaylani and he loved her to death. She was like his little sister.

"I missed you!" Kaylani saw Wade almost every weekend, but they still acted like they haven't seen each other in years. Harry watched the two and felt a pang of jealousy. He had no idea who he was, he just knew Kaylani looked thrilled to see him.

"Guys, this is my cousin Wade. Wade, this is One Direction." Harry instantly felt relieved. Him and the rest of the boys smiled at her cousin and waved politely. "Lead the way, Wade."

"Right, follow me." Wade turned around and started to lead the teenagers into the park through the back entrance. Kaylani turned around so she could walk in-step with Harry.

"Does everyone you know work here?" Harry chuckled slightly. He had only been to Disneyland twice with Kaylani and it seemed like both times she knew at least one person.

"Pretty much." Kaylani laughed before Harry wrapped his arm around her shoulder. When they reached a certain area, Wade turned around to say goodbye when he noticed how Harry and Kaylani were standing.

"Alright, well this is where you guys leave. So have fun and be safe!" The group started to walk away while Kaylani stayed to say bye to Wade. Harry stayed behind with her so she wouldn't walk by herself when Wade pulled him to the side.

"It's Harry right?" Harry nodded in response. He had a feeling he was about to get a serious talk from Kay's cousin. "Look, I'm not gonna lecture you because I know you're going to hear it a lot this weekend at the party." Harry raised an eyebrow. How did he know he was going? "Kaylani told me she was bringing Jake, Alanis, and you boys. Anyway, do you know what happened to her last boyfriend?" Harry nodded his head in response again. "Good. I can see the way you look at each other. You like each other, that's obvious. Just be careful and don't hurt her. I can't see her in that much pain again. I will admit, she looks happier today than I've seen her since Ryan passed. Just please, be careful. I'm not afraid to tear off that pretty little popstar face of yours if you hurt her and I'm sure my family would agree." Harry had to admit, he was a little scared. Wade was tall, had a muscular build, and looked like he could easily hurt someone.

"I promise I won't." Wade smiled at Harry's response and clapped him on the back.

"Good. Now go have fun. Oh, and if you thought my threat was scary, you better be prepared to meet the family on Saturday." Wade winked before walking away, leaving a stunned Harry to watch.

"He has a point you know. My family can be very intimidating." Kaylani had joined Harry again and they started to walk behind the rest of their group. When she turned her head and saw Harry's facial expression she let herself laugh. "Don't worry Harry. We're not dating so you don't have much to worry about. It would be worse if were."

Harry felt something in his stomach when Kaylani mentioned that they weren't actually dating. It was true, but it hurt slightly. He smiled at her to let her know he was okay and act like what she said didn't hurt him slightly. He turned his attention back to the group when he noticed they were standing at the doors of the back entrance that lead into the park.

A very excited Liam turned to face the entire group. "So, what are we riding first?"

The song is Give Myself A Try by Ryan Beatty.
