If I Lay Here
Chapter 19
"Harry, maybe we should get up," I suggested, squirmming around in his arms. Harry instantly tightened his grip as he pulled me even closer.
"Five more minutes!" He mumbled into my hair.
"You said that five minutes ago." I could feel Harry smiling. He pulled back a bit so he could look directly into my eyes.
"You know you're being kidnapped today right?" He asked with a smirk playing on his lips.
"You've already kidnapped me from America...are you kidnapping me from England too?" I teased.
"I'm not kidnapping you," He began just as the bedroom door swung open. "She is." I looked away from Harry to stare at the open doorway. In the entrance stood Louis with an incredibly beautiful girl. She wasn't wearing much make up, but she honestly didn't need it. Her milk chocolate colored hair fell to almost her elbows in very loose, banana curl fashion. The girl wore olive green, high waisted shorts, white lace Toms, and a cream colored tank with a Peter Pan collar. I needed no introduction. I was a massive fan before all of this. The girl infront of me was Eleanor Calder.
"Awe Louis they are cute!" She beamed before turning her attention to Harry. "Harry you need to get up and let me steal your girlfriend away from you for the day!"
"See," Harry mumbled, while shifting to lift us to our feet. I gave him a light nudge in the arm. As Harry tossed the duvet and pillows back on the bed I decided to inroduce myself.
"Hi, I'm Ally," I said in the most cheerful voice I could generate at nearly ten in the morning without much sleep. Don't get me wrong, I was beyond excited to finally get to meet Eleanor...it's just my bed looks really comfy right now and my pajamas are soft...
"Ally! It's so nice to finally meet you! Louis' told me so much about you! And Harry never stops talking about you either!" She cheered. I turned to look at Harry who was blushing a deep red.
"Ally, Simon is having a bit of a party tonight for all of those at Syco and we were invited, so Eleanor was planning on taking you for a 'girls day' to get ready for it," Louis explained while Eleanor stood next to him with a huge smile across her face.
"Okay, let me get ready and I'll meet you in the kitchen in ten?" They both nodded before leaving the room together, but one curly haired boy remained. I rushed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and fix my hair, not thinking too much of his presence. Suddenly, his two large hands grasped around my waist and his chest pressed against my back. "Harry, I have to get ready," I sighed.
"I know, I know," He mumbled, kissing my neck softly. His curls tickled my skin as he peppered me with kisses. "But, we have ten minutes."
"And I need those ten minutes to get ready!" I protested. I slipped out from his grasp to face the pouting boy and I couldn't help but smile. Harry stood there with his arms crossed, bottome lip jutting out, and eyes bigger than ever. It was the most adorable thing I've seen since puppies for God's sake! And he was definitely much cuter than puppies...getting distracted. "I promise, when we get home from Simon's party we can make out all you want!" I teased. A huge smirk appeared on Harry's face.
"Take all the time you need now love!" He said, giving me a peck on the cheek before exiting the room. I quickly brushed my teeth, pulled my hair into a messy bun and slipped on a pair of hot pink shorts with a white long sleeve. I was still trying to figure out outfits since Harry was the one who packed my suitcase and not me. When I appeared in the kitchen, Zayn was toasting a bagel and Louis and Harry were sitting down for tea while Eleanor played on her phone. She looked up at the sound of me entering and looked pleased with my outfit choice.
"Bye boys!" She called as she grabbed my hand and raced out the doors. On my way out I saw Harry poke his head out from the kitchen door, not quick enough to say good bye.
**********************************************************************************************************
HARRY'S POV
I poked my head out of the kitchen door just as Ally was being dragged out. I was too late. When I retunred to the kitchen I plopped back into my seat and grasped my cup. I watched the steam rise lightly into my face causing the liquid to ripple in the slightest way. Suddenly, my tea was the most interesting thing in the world. The more the steam tickled my face the more I could feel four pairs of eyes on me.
"What?" I questioned before taking a sip from my cup.
"Nothing," Louis mumbled with a smirk, taking a casual sip from his cup as well.
"It's nice to see you like this mate." Liam finally said.
"You're so happy." Niall clarified. I ran my fingers through my tousled hair, smiling more so to myself. I was happier. It's nice to have a constant in a life which change happens everyday. It's nice to have someone to believe you rather than the media because they know who the real you is.
"She was totally a Louis girl before she met you though," Louis added, breaking me from my thoughts. My head instantly snapped around to where he was perched upon the counter, casually sipping his tea once again, to give him a glare. "Just thought I'd be honest!"
***********************************************************************************************************
"Ally wait!" I heard Eleanor call as the front door swung open.
"Thank you for the shopping El, but I think I just need to relax right now," Ally's voice hurried. I could hear rushed footsteps up the stairs before a door shut hard. What... Just then Eleanor came into the den looking stressed and upset.
"El..." Louis began while coming to stand beside me.
"Harry the fans...we were fine for a little bit, but the cameras and the shouting....they were so nasty...not so much to me, but to Ally," Eleanor confessed. Tears sprung to her eyes as she thought back on the past events. I've never seen Eleanor cry. She was always such a strong girl when she was around me.
"What did they say?" I asked, worried at what would make Ally so upset.
"I tried to get us away Harry. I promise. But, they just kept coming!" El kept rambling.
"Eleanor, tell me what they said." I repeated through clenched teeth. My eyes squeezed shut awaiting her response.
"I...it...a slut...she didn't deserve you...she is here for the money...this is publicity...Harry I don't want to continue," Eleanor begged.
"They said what!" I shouted. My voice echoed and rumbled through the house. It scared me a little bit. I noticed Louis winced, but Eleanor remained composed. She understood where I was coming from. "It's been TWO days! They don't even know her, but they choose to attack her when I'm not around! This is utter bullshit!"
"Harry, mate, calm down it's okay," Niall reassured me as he came to grasp hold of my trembling shoulders, knowing this behavior wasn't like me at all. I'm trembling? When I looked to my feet, I noticed I was completely shaking!
"Its not okay Niall! If this happens within two days of her being WITH me, what will happen when I'm away from her months at a time?!" I softened a bit. My fists were clenched tightly at my sides.
"Look Haz, this sort of thing happens. What you need to do is go comfort Ally." Liam advised.
"No, what I need to do is protect her." I muttered before storming out of the house. I needed some help. I needed to talk to Simon.
***********************************************************************************************************
"Harry!" Simon cheered, appearing in the doorway of his office. "How are you? Do you need anything?"
"Actually I do. It's about my girlfriend, Ally." I answered slowly. Simon made his way to the black leather chair sat behind his desk. His eyes stared off into space for a brief moment before directing his focus on me. I've never been more nervous infront of Simon.
"Ah yes. I've heard all about her. Will I be meeting her tonight?"
"Yes you will," I replied, "But that's not why I'm here." Simon gestured me to continue, so I did. I ran my fingers through my hair for what seems to be the hundreth time today. "I want to get her a guard to protect her when I'm not around." Simon just looked at me, dumbfounded. Nothing I said was confusing or hard to get. I thought I was pretty straightforward!
"What?" He questioned, confusion lingering on the word. I have no idea where he is missing what I said.
"The amount of hate she is recieving and the caliber even when I'm around is horrible. I'm worried for her safety."
"Harry, I can't do much about the hate. I can do very little to control it." Simon responded with a sigh.
"But you can help protect her." I stated firmly. I needed to make sure she was safe. If anything, I needed reassurance. I needed security in more ways than one. Simon leaned back, probably contemplating whether or not I was serious. Debating whether or not Ally and I were serious.This is the most serious I've ever been.
"Please," I begged, "Today, with Eleanor, girls were shouting she was a slut and a whore. Simon, you know how the the fans can be. I don't want her to get hurt...physically, emotionally or any way possible. I can't protect her all of the time. Bloody hell, it's only the second day!" I let out an exasperated sigh, dropping my face in my palms.
"How about I have a talk with her tonight and decide frrom there?"Simon finally said. I looked up quickly to find him smiling.
"Thanks Simon!" I cheered, standing to give him a proper handshake. "You're going to love her!" When I headed for the door Simon's voice pulled me back.
"Is this real Harry?" He called after me.
"More than you could ever imagine." I stated before striding out the door. I needed to go comfort my princess.
**********************************************************************************************************
ALLYS POV
"Ally?" His voice broke through the wooden barrier. The rasp, the concern, the deepness in the voice pointed to Harry. Slowly the door creaked open and a mop of curly hair peeked in. "Babe." He sighed. I probably looked like a mess. My cheeks were definitely stained with tears. I couldn't help it. The things those girls said to me sliced right through whatever 'tough' exterior I tried to put up. To think, I was a fan just like they are. Harry walked over to where I was sat on the bed. He instant;ly wrapped his arms around me. For the past hour of crying and feeling like the world hated me I felt shattered. Vulnerable even. Now in Harry's arms...I felt safe. I felt wanted.
"Five more minutes!" He mumbled into my hair.
"You said that five minutes ago." I could feel Harry smiling. He pulled back a bit so he could look directly into my eyes.
"You know you're being kidnapped today right?" He asked with a smirk playing on his lips.
