The Hitchhiker

Niall’s POV

“Niall!!! What the hell is this?!” Tyra storms into my room holding a letter.
I take it out of her hand, and a smile spreads as I read it.
“You got in!” I exclaim.
“Which is real strange since I never applied- this is Cambridge- England- are you out of your mind?!” She shouts, anger shooting at me.
“Are you?- this is an opportunity- you need to go Tyra- this will be amazing for you,” I try and reason.
“Who the hell put you up to this- Harry? What kind of scam are you running? I’m not going- I don’t want to go to college- especially not in England- not next to Harry- not after he left me like that.” She is angry. I hear it and I see it. Good.. it will pass and once it does I will be able to talk to her rationally.
“Why the hell are you smiling?” She demands to know.
“Ty- get out of my room- go sulk- whatever you need to do and then once you’re passed it think about it- then come look for me ok?” I tell her.
“You’ve lost your mind!” She hisses storming out my room.
I take out my phone grinning from ear to ear and write a text.

She got in.

I run downstairs to find my mom. She is outside watering her plants singing a song to herself.
“Mom!” I call out in excitement.
“Your sister is not too happy with you,” She notes, thought a wide smile is placed on her face.
“I know… She’s in mom- we did it,” I hug her, a stupid grin on my face.
“This is awesome but did you think how to get her to go? I mean she refuses to speak to Harry, which makes this even harder,” My mom remarks.
“I know,” I exhale. “I thought that by now she would answer his calls or emails but she is refusing.”
“I have an idea… Why don’t you try and call Tommy? He might be able to get some sense into her,” Mom speaks up.
“You think? I don’t think she’ll be happy to hear from him,” I crinkle my nose.
“You’d be surprised sugar.. Tommy helped your sister with you, and they do have this connection- I would give him a call, he’s supposed to come down for his mom’s birthday- you better try get a hold of him.”
“Ok. I’ll give it a shot,” I agree.
I hadn’t spoken to Tommy since I left him with my phone telling him Tyra might come looking for me.
We don’t have long before she needs to leave for summer semester which means we need to get a move on it.

Louis’ POV

I knock twice before opening the door to Tyra’s room. The last time I’ve been here was so long ago, however it still looks just the same, nothing changed.
“Niall- I asked you to leave me alone!” Tyra whines.
“What about me?” I question, standing at the doorway.
Tyra who was looking out the window turns to look at me.
“Tommy? What are you doing here?” She inquires moving from the window over to me.
I hold my arms open for her waiting for a hug. Tyra doesn’t waste time striding over and closing her arms around my middle.
“Tommy.. What are you doing back?” She looks up at me.
“I’m home for mom’s birthday and she said you guys are back, so I had to come visit,” I smile down at her.
“Come here- tell me how’s things- what have you been up to? How is Eleanor?” She shoots questions at me, pulling me over to her bed, where we used to sit and talk for hours.
“She’s good, she went back home to see her family.. you know.. football and stuff.. I heard you had a blast,” I wink at her.
“Blast as in finding Ni and getting him home? Yeah I would say that,” She laughs.
“I heard you got into Cambridge,” I eye her, waiting for her to start screaming like Niall said she might.
“Is this the real reason you’re here? Me not wanting to go to Cambridge?” She furrows her brows.
“No- I came to see you, and Niall told me what’s been going on,” I shrug.
“Did he tell you Harry left?”
“He did.. look can I tell you what I think?”
“What you think I should do?”
“No- what I think about this whole situation,” I explain.
“I think it’s very nice of Niall wanting you to go back to school and getting you into Cambridge. I think he is a good brother and he loves you very much.. I also know for a fact that Harry loves you and that his feeling for you didn’t go away, and that he is dreaming for you to finally answer him.. I also know that it’s your time to live and do what you want- and it doesn’t have to be going to England- you can come to NYU or anywhere else- hey you don’t even need to go back to school – but it’s your time to get up and do something for you- staying home is nice but it is holding you back- It’s time to do for you,” I say.
“I always wanted to come to NYU remember? I was supposed to join you and all,” She remembers.
“You still can Ty- you’ll get in, and Eleanor and I will show you around and you’ll make friends and you have some friends there- Niall was saying- Liam and Luke? The world is yours to pick from,” I smile.
“I was so mad he went behind my back with Harry and got me into Cambridge- He got help from Harry! I mean he left me- what was he thinking?”
“He thought he was doing the right thing- both of them did. . Look Ty I love you and I am on your side, and if you ask me I think you should hear Harry out- it doesn’t mean you need to go to England or get back together with him, but just hear what he has to say,” I offer.
“You know.. That morning when he stopped for me- I was all smiles and acting cool- but he saw right through me- he saw the broken little girl who was looking for her brother, and he mended my broken pieces and I felt whole and safe with him and full of hope- he gave me hope that I will find Niall and everything will be alright, and it did- but then he just upped and left me, and I feel broken again- in a different way but it’s just the same. I’m scared that if I talked to him I will end up back in the same place I was when he left me.”
“Did you think about the fact he might be just as broken?”
Tyra keeps quiet, never thinking maybe Harry is hurt just as much.
“But he is the one that left.”
“Yeah, but it wasn’t because he wanted- it was because it was time for him to go, he has another life beside you- and he had to find a way to make them both combine into one.”

Tyra’s POV

Tommy made me think about the whole Harry situation in a way I never looked at it before.
We spent the rest of the time together talking about what we’ll do if and when I come to NYU and such.
I pad over to Niall’s room. He is sat at his computer listening to music the door open.
“Niall,” I say. He turns around. When he sees me he shuts the music off, and I walk over sitting down.
“I’m sorry I was a bitch- but I felt you were ganging up on me with Harry,” I explain.
“I wasn’t,” HE shakes his head, eyes wide.
“I know, but it felt as if you are- as if you took his side,” I reply.
“I would never- Ty it was always you and me- a team- I would never gang up against you with someone else,” He promises me.
I play with my fingers wanting to believe him, to put my anger with him in the past.
“Hey- remember this?”
He picks up his diary- the one he left me when he ran away, the same one I had with me the whole time I was looking for him.
“I looked through this and I came across things you added- Ty you have no idea how special you are- I couldn’t ask for a better sister really, and I know you’re mad at me for going behind your back- but that is only because you stopped fighting- I couldn’t watch you give up on yourself- when I stopped fighting you fought for me and now it’s my turn to fight for you,” He moves to sit next to me, taking my hand in his.
“I’m just so tired,” My voice cracks.
“Life is one fight after another, we keep fighting to get along and overcome obstacles and we dig deeper to find the strength to fight another battle until we can’t anymore- that is when family fights for you.. You were there for me- and now I’m here for you- let me help you Tyra please- let me be the big brother ,” He begs.
“What if I don’t want to go to Cambridge? What if I want to go to NYU?” I wipe my tears.
“You go wherever you feel like going and I will have your back- no matter where you are I am only a phone call away- you can count on me,” He promises.
“Will you come visit me in NYU?”
“I’ll visit wherever you will be,” He hugs me.
After a while I get up deciding it is time to talk to Harry put an end to this.
“Think about it real well before,” Niall warns me.
“I will,” I promise, closing the door after me.

A month later Tyra is stood with a suitcase waiting to get through the long line at the airport.
She remembers her last talk with Tommy, promising to meet her and show her around. A small smile appears on her face, knowing she has done the right thing. The line moves along and she is ready to walk out to the pickup hall.
She makes her way through all the people looking for him, he promised to be there.
Her eyes suddenly fall on him, his smile, a balloon in his hand and a big note saying Tyra.
His smile shines all the way over to her, and she leaves her suitcase behind as she runs over to where he stood. He opens his arms to catch her, holding her close to him.
How could she have thought to cut him out of her life? How could she forget those green eyes and dimples?
Harry, they are finally back together.
She was so happy she called him and listened to what he had to say. She listened and cried and decided she cannot live her life without him. IT was her time, and her time was with him.
