Mandolin Rain

Elliot's POV

So today was the big day. Harry and the guys were leaving for four months. He might be able to come back at least once but it's such a long flight, it's hard to say if he'll be up for it. Harry told me how the tours are physically and mentally draining to them and when they get a rest day they just like to relax.

I snuck letters into Harry's bag. I decided that since we won't be able to see each other or talk to each other I'd write him letters for him to open like for when he missed me, or when he's angry, over the Holiday's he'll be missing with family, when he's bored, when he can't sleep at night, you get the idea. I had over 24 letters packed away in envelopes all wrapped together by a large red ribbon. Super corny but I've never been separated from a boyfriend for so long, I didn't quite know what to do.

Our landlord cleaned up the house, I was nervous for this person to tag my house again but I just had to sit and wait I guess. The police had an open case on this crazy person so any other information I was to give to them. I guess one nice thing about the shitty interview Harry had a few days ago, people are starting to like me a little more. Mainly because all the guys voiced their opinions on liking me but I'll take it.

Harry's flight was set to leave in three hours. We had to be at the airport in an hour. Well, he had to be. We decided to say goodbye at his house, everyone knew they were flying out today, and just because they were in a personal jet didn't mean that fans wouldn't show up.

Luna was staying with me. And I was staying at Harry's, at least for the night.

“Hey.” Harry wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder. “It's going to go fast. Nothing to worry about.” He whispers in my ear and kisses my neck. I lean my head into his and just stay there.

“I know. Doesn't mean I'm excited about it.” I turn around so I'm facing him and wrap my arms around him. I'm feeling desperate for him to stay. “Are you sure you have to leave?” I whine.

“I wish I could stay but it's a long flight and we have a show on Monday so I can't leave any later. I'm sorry.” I take a deep breath.

“It's not your fault, this is your job, and you love it. I know this.”

“I love you.” He kisses my forehead.

“I love you.” A shy smile creeps on my face. Before I know it Harry is planting kisses all over my face and I can't help but giggle and push him away. “Stop it!” I chaste him and he instantly pouts. “You all packed?” I ask.

“Yes ma'am. All packed and ready for take off. Just have to get my computer and snacks.” I smile, Harry and his sweets, he just can't stay away. “I have less then an hour, what do you want to do?” He asks, we can't really do what I want to do, we've been at that all night.

I take a look around outside. “Lets go climb trees.” I suggest.

“Trees?” He has a less then amused look on his face. “How about we go lay outside by the pool instead.” He suggests and I nod in agreement. I didn't really think he'd be up for climbing trees anyway.

“All right. Paul's here to pick me up.” Harry hops up and turns to pull me up. I reluctantly let him. I can't help but let tears fall. “No, none of that.” He wipes my eyes. “We'll see each other all the time even if we're not right next to each other.”

“I know.” I choke out.

“I'll be texting you as soon as I get in the car with Paul, trust me.” He smiles. He gets another ping from his phone letting us know Paul is getting impatient.

“You'd better go.” I whisper, I swear my voice can't get any louder then that.

“I love you. I'll see you soon.” I lean into him and refuse to say anything. “I said I love you.”

“I don't want you to leave.” I whine holding him with all my strength.

“I don't want to leave either but you're not making this any easier.”

“That's my plan.” I pull away and meet his gaze. “I love you more.” We share a sweet kiss that I refused to finish until Harry gets yet another ping from his phone.

We hug one last time.

And with that he was gone.

Tuesday was a long day. I always closed up shop on Tuesday, meaning I was there all day. Open in the morning and close at night. It was exhausting but part of being the boss. I was thinking more and more about selling and doing something different but I had no idea what I'd do, yoga and pilates is all I've ever done.

I talked to Harry via text and with the phone but he's had problems connecting to the internet so we haven't been able to Skype or Facetime. It's hard but it's only been two days, I know it will just get worse as time goes on.

I'm at the computer working on time cards when my phone rings. I know right away it's Harry by the ring tone “I'm too Sexy”, thanks to Harry. I frantically dig through my purse to find my phone and smile when I answer it.

“Hey lover!”

“Hey babe, what are you doing?” He asks, his tv is loud in the background.

“Just working on the computer at the studio. What are you doing?”

“I just woke up.” He laughs.

“Lazzzzyyyyy.” I drag out the word.

“Hey, I flew half way around the world, I deserve a nap.” He defends himself.

“Yeah, yeah yeah.” I roll my eyes even if he can't see them.

“Hey, do me a favor please?” He asks as I spin around in my chair, I feel like a giddy kid.

“What's up?” I ask.

“Well I can't seem to find my watch, you know, my favorite one. I don't know why but I think it's in your Jeep. Can you look for me?” He asks. I'm a little puzzled but I stand up anyway and walk towards the back of the building is where I park my it.

“Where do you think you left it?” I ask unlocking the jeep and climbing inside.

“I don't know, I know I had it when we went to the beach, so look in the glove box first?” I scoot over and open it.

“Harry, how would you forget your watch? Har- w-what is this?” I ask eying a familiar baby blue box.

“What? It's not there?” He asks, I can tell he's smiling.

“Um, no but there is a box in here.” I carefully pull it out. “It has my name on it.”

“Well you should probably open it then.” I open the ribbon on top and carefully pull the paper out to find another jewelry box.

“Harry.” I open it to see a silver bracelet with an attached engraved charm. H&R. Is all it says. “Harry Edward Styles. You are one sneaky man.”

“So you like it?” He asks.

“I love it, thank you.” I fiddle with it to put it on right away.

“Good, hey I gotta go work out with Mark, I'll call you later okay?” I nod even though he can't see me, I can't believe he did this.

“I love you.” I tell him.

“Love you more Rain.”

Only thing that could be better would be if Harry was here himself.
