Fighting For Her
Live While We're Young
The day had finally arrived and we were all packing in our suitcases to head to the airport. I was so relieved and ready to get away from all of the nonsense that had been following me around. I was kidnapped; I did not sign up to a part of the paparazzi life style, it wasn’t something I wanted. Harry had volunteered to drive one car and Niall the other. Louis, Eleanor, and I packed into Harry’s car with tons of snacks to last us the bit we would be waiting at the airport.
“Ah, I cant wait to get away.” I said stretching out my legs onto Harry’s windshield.
“Hey, hey! You’re leaving marks on my window!” He said swatting my feet away as Eleanor and I laughed.
“You two are really meant for each other ya know that?” She said. There was an awkward pause. We had never really talked about actually being together, but we both knew we liked each other.
“I knew we were meant for each other the first time I saw her on campus and she brushed her hair behind her ear and gave me a smile,” he said placing the palm of his giant hand onto my knee. I couldn’t help but stare at him, seeping my eyes into his beautiful soul. I placed my hand on top of his and squeezed his fingers.
I was finally happy again. Although, there were some barriers in my life that I would have to over come…but finding a special person to help me through it would not be one of those.
“We’re here!” Shouted Harry. My head shot up, drool spilling down my arm. Ew. I wiped it off and looked up. I must’ve dozed off pretty early on because the last thing I remember is thinking about Harry when we were just leaving the road campus was on. The sky was a bit dreary and I couldn’t help but smile at the thought that in a few hours the scenery would be a total change. We grabbed our luggage and headed inside.
After getting through all of the security and baggage check we headed to where our flight would take off. “Thank you again so much Everly, this means a lot to us all.” Said Liam as he patted me on the back. Liam was always such a gentleman, Sophia and him would really get close on this trip, I was hoping.
Finally, we boarded the plane. All of our tickets were right around each other. Harry and I sat together, him taking the window (I was too afraid). Louis and Eleanor were right in front of us and on the other side sat Niall and Brooke, with Sophia and Liam behind them. The flight was a long one and I was already beginning to feel the anxiety wash over me. I was tapping my foot and looking around at everyone, trying to keep my mind off of the fact that I was about to soaring hundreds of miles into the sky. I filled my cheeks with air and slowly let it out.
“Ev…are you alright, love?” Harry said. I smiled and nodded my head. The pilot came over the intercom asking everyone to take their seats and buckle themselves in. I did just that and pressed my head tightly to the seat behind me. Still tapping my foot on the ground, I gripped the arm rests tight, turning my knuckles white. Harry reached over prying my fingers off and taking them into his hands.
“Ev? Are you afraid of heights?” I loved that he called me Ev, only my dad had ever called my that.
“Uh, no. I’m afraid of falling out of the sky with a bunch of metal into the wide open ocean.” He chuckled and brushed the hair out of my face. He waved his hands at me signaling me to come and lay my head on his shoulders. I did as he said and he ran his fingers through my hair.
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
His voice traveled through my body. I could hear his words, yet I could also feel them engulfing my body. Showing me a feeling I have never felt before. His voice was smooth, yet raspy. Deep and beautiful.
I looked up at him, meeting my eyes with his.
“Harry, that was…” I couldn’t think of the right adjective to describe the perfect voice he just surprised me with.
“I know, I’m still working. The lyrics just kind of came to mind one day.” He smiled down at me, kissing me on the forehead.
“No, Harry! That was amazing. You have incredible talent.” I gave him a kiss on the lips and smiled looking out the window for the first time. At least if we did crash, I would be with him.
After a couple of hours passed we boarded our second plane. The next time we would step out side we would be in Paradise! We climbed into our seats. By now it seemed like Harry knew everything about me and I knew everything about him.
“Harry?” I asked him,
“Yes, love?” His voice was my favorite sound.
“How is it that you can know everything about someone and feel like you’ve known them your entire life, when really its only been a couple of months?”
“Ev, sometimes that’s just how life goes. I couldn’t be happier that its that way with you.” He smiled down at me and kissed me again. I took some Dramamine and was growing tired once again.
Rays of sun peeled my eyelids a part and I opened them up to see palm trees and crystal clear blue water. I squealed in excitement and immediately grew embarrassed at the sound that escaped my lips. Harry began laughing and fixed my hair with his fingers.
“We’re here Ev!” I looked at all of the others, giving them a big smile and thumbs up.
Time for a vacation.
