The Wedding Planner
Chapter Twenty-Five
Kennedy’s POV
“Why do I have to dress up?” I asked holding my cell phone to my ear talking to Harry.
“Because it’s a surprise and I need to you look gorgeous,” he said.
“And I don’t always look gorgeous?” I asked raising an eyebrow and Harry started stuttering.
“I put my foot in my mouth,” he sighed and I just laughed.
“I’m just giving you a hard time love,” I replied, “I’ll dress up. I’ll see you in an hour.”
“Perfect,” he grinned, “I’ll see you soon. Love you princess.”
“Love you,” I replied and hung up my phone.
It’s been about a week since I took Harry back and things have been going smoothly. Grimmy claims it’s because of his show but in all reality Harry came to talk to me because he was tired of being alone and miserable. He knew that I wasn’t going to go find him so he needed to find me and it happened to be the day of my interview with Grimmy. To be honest though I was happy that I took Harry back. This past week I have been getting small bouquets of flowers at the office and at my flat and Harry’s been bring lunch by the office to eat with me. He’s trying really hard to make things right with us and I’m really appreciating all of the work he’s done. I’ve done a lot of work though too. I make sure to call him when I can and I send him texts throughout the day letting him know where I am and how my day is going. We usually spend the nights together either at his flat or my flat and he always makes sure to take me back to my flat if I don’t want to spend the night.
I was pulling out the dress I was going to wear after spending a good half hour on my hair and makeup when I heard the flat door open. I smiled knowing exactly who it was so I quickly changed and grabbed everything I would need (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=81639653). I rushed out of my room to find that it was actually Niall and Zayn out in my living room.
“Why are you guys all dressed up and where’s Harry?” I asked confused.
“Oh he’s going to meet us,” Zayn said.
“Should I be worried?” I asked not liking that Harry had a “surprise” for me.
“Not at all,” Niall said and then he shook his head, “Only a little.”
“Niall!” I exclaimed as the boys led me out of my flat.
“Calm down Kenni,” Zayn said, “You’re going to love this or really hate it there’s really not an in between on this one.”
“Great,” I mumbled as we made our way to Zayn’s car.
Niall helped me in the front while he got in the back and Zayn got in the driver’s seat.
“How come Perrie and Andrea aren’t with you?” I asked.
“They’re meeting us too,” Niall said, “We have direct instruction to come pick you up and take you to the secret venue that you know nothing about.”
I just sighed dramatically and Niall and Zayn just laughed at me. Everyone knew I had surprises yet they still had to surprise me. After twenty minutes of driving and Zayn and Niall laughing at how I hate surprises and yet everyone continued to do them for me we pulled up to a venue where there was a line and girls with One Direction signs.
“Um. . .” I asked looking at them.
“Come with us,” Zayn said and we quickly moved into the venue and I was dragged my Niall to the dressing room with everyone. . .except Harry.
“No one is going to explain at all are they?” I asked.
“Nope,” they all grinned and Eleanor brought over a bouquet of my favorite flowers.
I smiled at the flowers and saw a note attached on the stems. I took the note and looked up to see everyone nodded their heads to read it. I opened it up and saw a coupon and a note in Harry’s handwriting. I opened up the coupon already knowing which coupon it was and read it.
One free duet.
Now I know you probably hate me because I’m doing this at a concert but I still want that duet and I want everyone to know how beautifully you sing. I love you Kennedy Wilker and even though you are my world I tell you every day I want everyone else to know that I will never break your heart again. xHarry
I looked up to see the room empty and there standing in front of me was Harry holding a single red rose and smiling his adorable cheeky smile.
“So do I get that duet?” he asked his raspy voice filling my ears.
“I guess you do,” I said as he walked closer to me, “Do I get to at least know the song?”
“Nope,” he grinned handing me the rose and kissing my cheek, “Because I have to go on stage now.”
I sighed as he just laughed at my look and we headed out towards the stage.
“You’re lucky I love you Harry,” I said smirking and he just laughed and pulled me closer.
“I am lucky,” he said, “and don’t worry it’s a song that you know very well.”
I just smiled and shook my head as the boys did their normal warm up routine. They were all jumping around and causing themselves to get all hyped up while I went to go stand with the girls in our normal line when they ran down to kiss our cheeks and their respectable girlfriend.
“So you two are going to sing a duet huh?” Perrie grinned.
“You all helped him plan this,” I said, “Harry’s sweet but not this good.”
“It was all me,” Andrea grinned.
“I’m not shocked,” I laughed as all the girls grinned at me.
“We’re happy you two made up though Kenni,” Danielle said, “We were all worried about the two of you. Both of you were depressed and things weren’t getting any better.”
“You’re telling me,” I said, “Three months apart was not the greatest thing in the world.”
“Tell us about it,” Eleanor said, “We had to hear Harry whine and complain that he was such an arse and he should be begging you to come back to him. It was getting a bit annoying and I was worried that he was going to do something stupid.”
“Liam told me he was drinking heavily,” I said quietly looking over at Harry who was jumping up and down with the boys, “It was to the point where you all had to hide the alcohol from him.”
“Didn’t do much,” Danielle said quietly, “He went out to the closest pub and then got piss drunk almost every night. Liam had to always go pick him up.”
“I’m sorry,” I said looking at the girls, “You guys shouldn’t have had to clean up the messes we made.”
“Hey we understand Kenni,” Andrea said, “You had a falling out that wasn’t a little let’s talk this over and we’ll be okay. It was a huge thing. You both needed your space.”
“But. . .” I started and the girls shook their heads.
“No ifs, ands, or buts,” Perrie said, “We all know that’s just how Harry operates when he’s depressed. Now he’s not and we don’t have to worry about it anymore so let’s put it behind us.”
“I love you girls,” I smiled at them.
“We love you too Kenni!” they exclaimed as we all had a group hug.
We were then interrupted by Liam clearing his throat and we all giggled.
“We need our good luck kisses now,” he said and we all rolled our eyes.
“Leave it to Daddy Direction to break up a heartfelt moment,” I giggled as Liam playfully glared at me.
I stuck my tongue out at him and he just laughed. All the boys kissed my cheek first and when Harry came up he kissed me on the cheeks, nose, and on the mouth.
“Go finish up the line,” I giggled as he kissed my nose, “You’re going to be late.”
“One more kisses,” he said and pecked my lips.
He then moved down the line quickly and turned back to wink at me as the boys went on stage. All of us girls moved up to the side of the curtains and we watched the boys do their job. Soon a piano was brought out on stage. The girls were grinning madly and soon the stage managers brought me a microphone and I was again handed those cool ear things. I put them in and saw Harry grinning at me and walked over to the side of the stage. He brought me on stage and all the other boys kissed my cheek and then went to the side of the stage.
“So everyone’s confused I know,” Harry said and then looked over at me and smiled again, “Even Kennedy’s a bit confused. As you all know Kennedy and I dated for a good two solid months and I did something incredibly stupid. Well before we broke up Kennedy made these really cool coupon books that I haven’t thrown away yet and when she so kindly and graciously took me back which I will forever be grateful for, I decided to use one. This coupon that I decided to use was one free duet. When I decided this I had to have some help from Kennedy’s friends and I creatively came up with the idea of her singing a duet with me on stage in front of my fans. So Kennedy.”
Harry then turned to me.
“Will you sing Just Give Me a Reason?” he asked me and I felt my cheeks flush a bit.
I smiled lightly and then looked out at the crowd.
“What do you guys think?” I asked, “Should I?”
Everyone then started screaming yes while Harry just grinned cheekily at me knowing I was doing this so he wouldn’t completely get in trouble with management.
“Well if the crowd demands it we should do it Styles,” I grinned and kissed his cheek.
“Then let’s get to it!” he exclaimed and soon the music started.
Right from the start, you were a thief,
You stole my heart and
I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty.
And with every touch
You fixed them.
Now, you've been talking in your sleep
Oh oh, things you never say to ME
Oh oh, tell me that you've had enough
Of our Love, our Love
Just give me a reason,
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent and we can learn to LOVE again.
It's in the stars,
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're NOT broken
Just bent and we can learn to love again, I sang.
I'm sorry I don't understand where
All of this is coming from.
I thought that we were fine, Harry sang.
(Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear, WE still have everything
And it's all in your MIND.
(Yeah, but this is happenin')
You've been having real bad dreams
Oh oh, you use to lie so close to me
Oh oh, there's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Ooooh, our love, our love.
Just give me a reason,
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent and we can learn to LOVE again.
I never stopped
It's still written in the scars on my heart
You're NOT broken
Just bent and we can learn to love again.
Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust,
But our love's enough.
You're holding it in,
You're pouring a drink
No, nothing is as bad as it seems.
We'll come clean!
Just give me a reason,
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent and we can learn to LOVE again.
It's in the stars
It's still written in the scars on our hearts
That we're NOT broken
Just bent and we can learn to love again.
Just give me a reason,
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent and we can learn to LOVE again.
Oh, it's in the stars
It's still written in the scars on our hearts
That We're NOT broken
Just bent and we can learn to love again.
Ooh, we can learn to love again
Ooh, we can learn to love again
Oh, that we're not broken
Just bent and we can learn to love again
When the song was over, Harry and I were leaning our foreheads against each other and looking at one another. The crowd was going nuts but in that moment I didn’t care that there were thousands of people watch a moment between me and Harry. All that mattered was that Harry and I were together and we were slowly going to make things work again. If took days or years we were going to get back to where we were before. I smiled lightly at him and kissed his cheek as we separated.
“So what did you guys think?” I asked as Harry smiled lovingly at me, “We’re not that bad huh?”
The crowd went crazy and I just grinned looking at Harry who was laughing at me messing with the crowds.
“See I tried out for One Direction but the boys told me I couldn’t be in it because I was girl,” I said, “It was totally lame. Maybe I’ll just go on my solo career!”
Everyone was laughing and I kissed Harry’s cheek one last time.
“Okay so maybe I was being a bit overdramatic but I should let the professionals get back to their jobs so I don’t get them in trouble,” I said, “It was lovely singing in front of you directioners! You’re all lovely people and the boys are all so thankful to have your support!”
I then rushed off stage and turned around to see a grinning Harry Styles staring at me with thankfulness in his eyes. I just grinned back and winked content with how things were turning out now.
“Why do I have to dress up?” I asked holding my cell phone to my ear talking to Harry.
“Because it’s a surprise and I need to you look gorgeous,” he said.
“And I don’t always look gorgeous?” I asked raising an eyebrow and Harry started stuttering.
