Breathe
The Pull Away
“ Niall you can’t be here” I paced back and forth along the length of my living room.
“ I just needed to know you were okay,” He says from his spot on the couch
“ She’s fine, and that’s not your job, it’s Harrys” Tia snaps at him, he narrows his eyes at her.
“ So why isn’t Harry here instead of me?”
His question catches me off guard. I step back and pause.
“ He’s busy” I reply, my voice hitching on curiosity.
“ We’re on break before the tour Nina, we aren’t busy. He goes out every night with the lads”
“ Niall” Tia warns. My eyebrows crease.
“ Do they know you’re here?” I ask lightly, trying to keep my tone calm. He shakes his head.
“ Call Harry and tell him you’re here” I hand him my phone, he’s reluctant to take it at first. His face turns hard as he moves his hand up to his ear.
Harry’s P.O.V
“ I bet you Harry will get the drunkest tonight, he always does” Zayn points his finger at me laughing.
“ Are you joking mate? Louis is the worst” I place my feet on the coffee table in front of me.
I hear a sudden vibration in my back pocket. I feel my face twist into a grin when Nina’s name appears.
“ Good day love how was school?” I frown when I notice the long pause
“ Hey Harry” Niall talks in from the other line. I take the phone off my ear and stare at it for a couple seconds before placing it back on my ear.
“ Niall?!” I shout “ How are you calling me from Nina’s phone?” I take the phone off my ear once more to double check.
“ It’s hard to explain”
“ Niall, where the fuck are you?” I notice the rest of the boys giving me strange looks.
“ I’m in New York at Nina’s apartment,” He says with a forceful tone, as if rubbing it in my face. I feel anger and fear rise through my body.
“ Why the fuck are you there?” I snarl
“ Because unlike you I actually care about her,” he hisses back at me
“ Put my girlfriend on the phone now” I stand abruptly and march into my room away from the crowd.
“ Hello” I hear her shy small voice and I almost break.
“ Why is he there?”
“ I don-“ I cut her off
“ Did you invite him?!” I shout loudly into the phone at her.
“ No I didn-“
“ This is bullshit Nina,” I growl
“ I didn’t do anything wrong Harry, I didn’t invite him, he just showed up” She pleads with me. I roll my eyes.
“ Yeah, sure” I say sarcastically
“ Just go, I don’t know what you want from me here”
“ I want to know why my band mate is at my girlfriends house” I practically scream into the phone
“ Well ask your fucking band mate Harry,” She says before hanging up.
I sigh and put my phone in my back pocket.
“ What’s going on?” Louis asks
“ Niall is in New York with Nina”
“ HAH, Niall can go be with Nina but you cant?” Zayn jokes with me, but a searing pain of realization goes through me. I should be there, not him.
------
“ Hey Harreh can you go get us another drink lad” Louis slurs at me, I nod and make my way through the crowd of people to the bar.
“ Can I get 4 beers” I hold my hand up signaling the bartender over.
“ Hey you’re Harry from that band?” A short brunette looks up at me; I notice right away that her appearance is almost identical to Nina’s. I nod, “Yeah” she smiles
“ I’m Amy” I shake her hand “Harry, but you already knew that”
“ Would you like to meet the rest of the band?” her eyes widen with excitement
---
The music booms over us and I can feel my legs getting limp.
“ Lets go home lad” I feel Zayns around my shoulders I look up at him and nod.
“Waaaaiit” I utter as we reach the exit of the club, all the boys give me confused looks
“ I have to say goodbye to Ammmmyy” My drunken mind takes over and my eyes scan the club for the Nina look alike.
I spot her and wave her over, she strides my way, she walks with her back slightly arched, Nina always walks with good posture.
“ I’m leaving, it was nice to meet you” I bend down to her height to give her a hug and I notice everyone around us producing cell phones and snapping picture, I flinch at the light from the flashes bouncing off the wall.
“ Nice meeting you as well” She says mid hug. I pull away and she grabs my neck with both hands forcing me forward, she smashes her mouth onto mine viciously.
“ I just needed to know you were okay,” He says from his spot on the couch
“ She’s fine, and that’s not your job, it’s Harrys” Tia snaps at him, he narrows his eyes at her.
