Breathe
White Horse
You know that feeling you get in your stomach when you’ve done something horribly wrong? The twisting feeling in your gut, your nerves on end.
“ Nina” I feel my hand shake
“ Nina” It shakes again
I snap my head to the side “ Huh?”
“ Where do you want to go?” Max asks me kindly
“ Max, could you take me to the airport?” I ask rubbing my neck
He pauses, confusion fills his face “ I guess, if you really want me to” He turns his signal light on and switches lanes.
I take out my phone and quickly dial Tia’s number.
“ Nina? Where are you?!” She yells into the phone
“ Hi, I’m going home. Would you stop by my hotel room and get my luggage and bring it home when you come?” I say softly
She takes a deep breath “ Yes I can do that”
“ Thank you, I love you, I’ll see you in a couple days”
I hear her hang up the phone.
“ So that Harry guy and you?” Max clears his throat, I look over at him.
“ We broke up” I bow my head
“ For good?”
“ Yeah, I think for good” Sadness fills me and I struggle to keep my eyes from flooding with tears.
Tia’s P.O.V
“ Where did Nina and Harry go?” Dani leans over and asks me
“ Um Nina’s going home” I close my eyes and wait for their response.
“ Home?! Like back to New York?!” Perrie yells and I can feel my body shake from the volume of her voice.
“ What happened?” Dani grabs my shoulder pulling my head in her direction
“ I- I don’t know, she didn’t say”
“ Where’s Harry?” El crosses her arms, pursing her lips.
“ Where are the rest of the boys?” Dani stands and moves her head around the room.
“ Hey have you gals seen Harry by chance?” Louis walks towards us, I spin around.
“ No, Nina went home” I quickly say as El opens her mouth, it’s clear on her face that with that expression nothing kind was coming out.
“ Have we found Harry yet?” Niall emerges from the crowd and stands behind me, I can feel his breath on my neck, a small smile grows on my lips when I feel his hand on my hip.
“ No, we haven’t, and Nina’s left the country”
“ Why on earth did Nina leave?” Louis asks, outraged.
“ I have no clue, she just called and told me to grab her things from the hotel and bring them back home with me”
We see Zayn and Liam walk up to us
“ Hey have we found the birthday lad?”
“ No!” We all yell at them together, our voices in sync.
“ He’s probably with Nina, they’re at a hard time in their relationship right now, lots of fighting you know?” Zayn says walking over to Perrie and draping his arm around her
“ No, I don’t think he’s with Nina because Nina left London” I say for what seems to be the thousandth time
“ Why’d she do that?” Liam’s face drops
“ We don’t know Liam and if you would’ve gotten here 10 bloody minutes earlier we wouldn’t have to say that we don’t know 10 bloody times” Dani snaps at him. He puts his palms up in defense.
I notice Lou pull out a phone and press it against his ear
“ He’s not answering, it goes to voicemail on first ring”
“ I think this party is over” El announces to us
“ Lets go love” Niall whispers in my ear
“ Harry’s probably cooped up in his room pouting” Louis expresses
“ So we’ll go home and find him there” Liam claps his hands, making Dani jump and give him a death stare.
-
“ Do you think Harry’s at home?” I turn to my head back at Niall as we enter his apartment.
“ I hope so, if not management isn’t going to be happy with us” He chuckles
I walk ahead of him and down the hallway to the spare bedroom I’m set up in, quickly I strip off my Birthday Party wear and put on comfy grey cloth shorts with a light tank top. I turn.
“ You know” Niall stands in the doorway “ If you get lonely you could… come stay in my room” He rubs his neck anxiously “ It’s kind of…. Cold with one person”
I smile at his attempt to get me in his room
“ Well I guess if it’s cold, I mine as well come keep you company” I reply, sounding coy.
He smiles largely revealing his teeth I look down at the floor and grin before following him into his room.
“ I’m just going to change” He informs me before disappearing into a bathroom.
He comes out shirtless, just wearing a pair of pajama bottoms that hang off his hips.
I stand there and let my eyes run along his body.
“ Tired?” He breaks my train of thought, gesturing over to the bed. I gulp and nod
He walks over to me and pulls me onto the bed. He swiftly moves the duvet and places it over us. I wiggle into the comfortable fabric.
I hear a click and the room goes dark, the bed shifts under Niall’s weight as he climbs in.
“ Is this okay?” He asks as his hands snake around my waist, bringing me closer to him.
“ Mhm” I mumble tiredly, snuggling into his chest
“ Goodnight Tia” He says softly, I feel his warm lips touch the bridge of my nose briefly and then all too quickly his touch is gone.
I feel sleep take over me, I let it, gently surrendering to its calming effect.

Nina’s P.O.V
It’s 5:30am when my flight lands in New York.
I sniffle in and carefully walk off the plan, not forgetting that I’m still in my outfit from Harry’s birthday party gone wrong.
I wonder how he is
I wonder where he is
I wonder if he’s thinking about me too
I shake my head, dismissing these foolish thoughts into the back of my head. I focus on getting home. I walk towards the front of the Airport, ignoring the looks men disgustingly throw at me, the winks and whistles.
As soon as I leave the building the fresh New York air hits me, I take a few grateful deep breaths before searching for a cab.
I spin my head around when I notice the photographers, how did they know I was here…
I fast walk to the nearest yellow car in sight.
“ Where can I take you beautiful?” The cab driver’s harmless remark gives me no reaction.
“ 4938 Broadway Ave” I reply dully and sit back in my seat, my head screwed out the window staring into the scenery.
The low hum of people speaking on the radio distracts me
“….. Harry…. One…….. New York….. ” I try to listen to the muffled voices
“ Um could you turn the radio up please” I ask politely
He nods and turns the dial
“ Well there it is boys and girls, your daily dose of “ Where’s One Direction” now enjoy Demi Lovato’s hit song Heart Attack on Amp 101.3” The song starts playing and I sit back in my seat.
-
“ Thank you” I smile at the driver as he drops me off, quickly I hand him his money and walk up to my apartment. I get out my keys, ignoring the mail overload in mine and Tia’s box.
I put the keys in the door and turn.
I walk in and the atmosphere in the room is off balance. I crease my eyebrows and walk though into the living room without removing my shoes. The sound of my heels hitting the hardwood floors makes it hard to process what I see.
There he is…
He turns, face red, eyes puffy and swollen, he gives me the smallest smirk I’ve ever seen from him, a smirk that’s filled with hurt and pain.
“ You didn’t think I’d actually let you go, did you?” His voice is barley audible, raspy and low.
I gasp.
“ Nina” I feel my hand shake
“ Nina” It shakes again
I snap my head to the side “ Huh?”
“ Where do you want to go?” Max asks me kindly
“ Max, could you take me to the airport?” I ask rubbing my neck
