No Regrets

*LIZZIE’S POV*

Harry and I made a feeble attempt to walk around and shop for a bit after our lunch with Anne but before long we had attracted too many fans, so Harry called a car to take us back to the apartment. Before we left in the black SUV, he took several pictures, myself included in most, and most of the girls there were surprisingly very nice and complimentary towards me! Harry and I were standing there talking to fans when the car finally pulled up.

“All right, we’ve got to leave!” Harry announced to several disappointed faces. “I’ll see some of you at tonight’s show though!” Harry entwined his fingers in mine as we began to make our way through the crowd.

“Oh wait Lizzie! Can I ask you one last question before you guys leave?” One girl shouted out to me.

“Of course,” I answered as I turned and Harry wrapped a protective arm around my shoulders.

“Well, we want to know… What’s Harry really like in bed?” She rushed out the last part which was immediately followed by several squeals and giggles from the other girls. I felt myself blushing before I turned to face Harry who was laughing along with them. He had his head thrown back and was really laughing. It was adorable.

“Uhm, well, that’s… quite a question!” I stammered, trying to avoid giving an answer. “But I think I’m going to keep that answer private…” I looked to Harry again for help.

“For now, you’ll just have to wait until next month when our sex tape comes out.” Harry joked before he was right back in a fit of laughter.

“HE’S KIDDING!” I practically had to scream over the response that his comment warranted from the girls. “C’mon asshole, let’s get into the car.” I smiled and shook my head as I pulled Harry’s hand through the crowd and into the back seat of the SUV.

Once we were safely driving away, I turned to begin my lecture for Harry, who was surprisingly on his phone.

“Harry?” I more of demanded than asked for his attention. He looked up at me with a smirk. His laughter still lingered in his eyes. “Can you not do that!?” I asked exasperated.

“What’ve I done?” He asked as he stretched his arm out along the seat behind me.

“You’re just sitting over there looking all cute while I’m trying to be mad at you!” I explained, before I laughed at the ridiculousness of the statement. “You can’t just go talking about sex tapes though! Some people will take it seriously or hear it wrong or something!”

“Liz, love, calm down. You need to learn to have a little fun with the media!” He smiled as he pulled out his phone again. “Look, ‘#HazzieSexTape’ is already a trending topic on twitter. Our fans know how to make us laugh, and that’s why we love them. They won’t take it seriously! Promise.”

“I guess you’re right.” I muttered with a smile before he moved his arm down so that it was wrapped around me instead of the chair and gave me a quick kiss on the top of my head.

“Good. Okay, Steve?” He called out, and I assumed Steve was the driver.

“What’s up?” Steve asked as he slightly turned his head but still kept his eyes on the road.

“I’m going to need you to drop Lizzie off at the hotel in the back and then take me to the arena so I can start getting ready for tonight. Lizzie’s going to meet us there later.” Harry explained, which was news to me and Steve.

“Gotcha.” Steve said.

“Is that all right with you?” Harry asked as he turned to me. “I figured that was better than you just sitting in a dressing room for hours.”

“Of course it’s all right!” I assured him.

“Great. Steve, could you pick Lizzie up from the hotel and take her to the concert for about 7:30? I want to be able to see her before I go on.” Harry asked, “Oh! Please?” He quickly, and very cutely, added at the end.

“I can do that.” Steve answered as we pulled up at the secret back entrance.

“Thank you, Steve!” I said before I turned back to Harry. “All right, love you! I’ll see you later.” I quickly unbuckled and turned to open the door.

“Liz!” Harry exclaimed before I got out entirely.

“What?” I turned back around towards him.

“You didn’t give me a good bye kiss!” He pretended to seem completely astounded that I would ever do such a thing. I smiled and rolled my eyes.

“Good bye, Harry,” I said as I leaned in towards him, expecting a quick kiss. Instead Harry immediately cupped my face in both of his hands as he kissed me quite passionately. Deciding to tease him a little bit, I opened my mouth and let his tongue in as I twisted my hands in his hair. I played back with his tongue in the kiss before I decided enough. Pulling his curls at the same time, I bit onto his bottom lip as I pulled apart from the kiss. When I let go and opened my eyes, we were both breathless.

“You have no idea how badly I want to just go up to the room with you right now.” He whispered into my ear as I remained mere centimeters away from him.

“I’ll see you later, Harry.” I said with a smile before I bit my lip and got out completely.

“Love you!” Harry called out as I grabbed the car door to shut it.

“Love you, too!” I said back before I closed the door and snuck up to the room to get ready for the concert.

*HARRY’S POV*

I was going crazy, doing everything I could to keep myself distracted, but Liz kept popping into my mind. Even during things like vocal warm ups, all I could think about was the feeling of her soft skin and how I wanted to just be kissing every inch of it. When we were back in the dressing room as 5SOS began their performance, I couldn’t help but get a bit anxious. It was 7:35. Liz should be here by now. I pulled out my phone and sent her a quick text.

To: Liz
Hiiii just wondering where you are? .x

I set my phone down on the table and drank some of my tea when my phone almost immediately lit up with a buzz.

From: Liz
on our way, sorry the traffic is insane! I’ll see you soon though
love you!

I smiled before I typed a quick reply and put my phone back in my pocket.

To: Liz
Anxiously awaiting your arrival
Love you too

By 8:30 I was practically mental. We were standing in one of the hallways, preparing to be going on any moment, but I couldn’t focus.

“Harry, calm down. I’m sure everything’s fine!” Zayn said, but I could hear even the doubt in his voice. We had all tried calling her and even calling Steve. We got the tour managers involved, but no one had heard from even Steve since about 7:00. I pulled out my phone to dial again when I was tapped on the shoulder. I turned to see one of our managers looking very distressed. I could already feel the tears before he had even said anything.

“Harry, there was a very bad accident on the way here. Steve was released moments ago with minor injuries, but Lizzie’s.. uhm.. Lizzie’s currently at Mercy Hospital. From what I could hear from Steve, she’s in emergency surgery.” Each word was like a stab in my chest. I couldn’t feel my legs anymore. I couldn’t feel anything. I sank to the ground, completely stunned. The rest of the lads searched my face, obviously desperate for me to say something, but I couldn’t. Thankfully, Niall spoke for me.

“Get a car. Harry, forget about the concert. Go be with Liz; we’ll be there as soon as possible.” He explained as our manager got out his phone and called for a car. Louis and Zayn helped me up before I was engulfed in a massive hug.

“Spread word that we’re canceling the encore tonight.” Louis called out after we broke the hug to some stage helpers who were also in the hall with us. “Now go, Harry. Do whatever you need to do. Remember that we’re here, and we love you both.” He didn’t have to say anything else before I was running down the hallways towards where the car was waiting for me.
