The Happiest Place On Earth

Chapter 28: Is This Love?

“Jake?” Harry was slightly surprised to see his friend’s name flashing on his phone at 10am in London, which meant it was 2am in California.
“Hey Harry, are you busy? I need to talk to you about Kaylani.” At the mention of her name Harry knew something was going on. He could tell from the way she talked to him yesterday and from the way she sounded on the phone when she said things were “complicated” yesterday when Liam called.
“I’m free. Is everything okay?” Jake could hear the concern in Harry’s voice. He knew that if anyone besides him and Alanis were able to pick up on her tone of voice yesterday that it would be Harry. He was bound to know something was going on.
“I can’t exactly tell you what’s going on because it’s not my story to tell, but I can tell you one thing. I really think you should get Kaylani to come visit you guys a lot sooner. She really needs to get out of Cali for a while and I know she could use your guys’ company. She might be going downhill again.” Jake played with the hem of his shirt as he waited for Harry’s reply. He knew he was probably asking for a lot from the boys but he also knew they would do anything for Kaylani because they made a promise to her.
As soon as Jake mentioned that Kay might be going into a depression again he knew things were not as good as they wished they were for her. Him and the boys promised to keep her safe and happy and he had every intention to keep that promise. “Let me just make a few calls..”
“Thanks man. I know if anyone can get her back to how she was a few days ago it would be you guys.” Jake was crossing his fingers that Harry would be able to get her out of Cali sooner rather than later. As much as he loved his brother he knew that Kaylani would need to get away from him for a while so she could sort out her thoughts.
“Thanks for telling me about her. I wish I could be there for her but I can’t so I’m glad you are. I’ll call you back as soon as I have an answer.” With a final goodbye exchanged between the two, Harry hung up his call with Jake only so he could make a few calls to management, Paul, and anyone else he felt he needed to convince to let Kaylani come out soon.
-------------------------------
Jake ended his call with Harry before walking back into his room only to find his brother lying on his bed staring at the ceiling.
“See anything interesting up there?” Jake knew that Ryan was thinking. It was the same position he always sat in when he had a lot on his mind.
“I talked to mom and dad already. They were pissed off at first, then they were crying, then they were begging me to never leave them again. I guess I really screwed things up this time didn’t I?” Ryan turned his head to look directly into his brother’s eyes.
“Actually you didn’t. Yeah it was wrong for you to wait this long before you came back, but if you look at it from another perspective what you did allowed us to see Connor before he died. You let me have my brother back and you let mom and dad have their other son back. Things just got screwed up along the way.” Jake was a pretty optimistic person and he didn’t want Ryan to be moping around like Kaylani used to do. He knew he wouldn’t be able to handle it because he hated to see people mope.
“Everything is getting fixed. They’re going through every file in the country and replacing my death with Connor’s as well as fixing his headstone at the cemetery. By the end of the week Ryan Scott will be alive and Connor Scott will be resting peacefully like he should have been this whole time.” Ryan had started to stare at the ceiling again. He knew things were finally getting corrected but he still couldn’t help but feel the guilt for everything that had gone on. Just as he opened his mouth to ask his brother about Kaylani, he heard Jake’s phone going off and clamped his mouth shut.
“Hey Harry.” Jake answered the call as soon as he saw Harry’s name flashing on the screen. It had been about an hour since he called him and he was hoping he would be hearing good news. “Really? Perfect. I’ll let her know. Thanks again. Bye.” Ryan only caught Jake’s side of the conversation but he had a feeling it had to do with Kaylani. It was the only logical answer he could come up with considering the fact that the person on the other end of the line was Harry and Jake referred to someone as “her”.
“I really think we all need to just move on and try to start over. None of this is your fault, remember that.” Jake made his way to his bed and gave his brother’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “Look I gotta go but I’ll be back later and we can hang out. I missed having my brother around and we have lots of time to makeup for.”
“You know it's 3am right?" Jake simply looked at him with a smug grin and nodded his head. He knew Kaylani was still awake because she would always stay up super late when things were on her mind. Ryan gave a small chuckle at his brothers nod. "See you later J.” With one last tight lipped smile Jake left the room, leaving Ryan to deal with his thoughts alone.
------------------------------------
Kaylani heard someone knocking at her door as she dragged her feet through the hallway and to the front door. Taking a look out of the peephole she caught a glimpse of Jake so she unlocked the door before turning around and walking back into the living room. She knew Jake well enough to know that he would let himself in as soon as he heard the familiar sound of the latch unlocking.
“Hey baby girl. How are you feeling?” Jake walked into the living room and noticed Kaylani was lying on the couch with a blanket wrapped around her, a cup of tea sitting by her head, and a book in her hands - a scene he was familiar with on cold nights and days when Kaylani was thinking too much and couldn’t deal with anything so she would read to take her mind off of things.
“I’ve been better.” Kaylani hardly looked up from her book. She wasn’t even reading it at this point, she just let her eyes scan the pages continuously as her mind continued to wander to other things.
“Well lucky for you I think I have just the thing to cheer you up.” Kaylani could hear the hope in Jake’s voice which caused her to temporarily glance at him. The minute she did she noticed he was sporting a large smile and there was a sparkle in his eyes. “You’re going to see the boys next week instead of in two weeks. You leave in four days.”
Kaylani felt a large smile overtake her face at the mention of her leaving to see the boys in four days as opposed to fourteen. “Are you serious?” Placing her book on the table in front of her, Kaylani kicked her legs off the side of the couch before running to Jake and engulfing him in a large hug. She should have known he would have done something like this.
“I talked to your parents and Harry and we all agreed you could use a break from California. I also know that you don’t want to tell Harry about Ryan over the phone or on Skype so this would be the perfect opportunity for you to tell him and the boys. They’re just as worried about you as I am.” His right hand lightly traced the side of Kaylani’s face before dropping down to her hand and intertwining their fingers. He knew her better than she knew herself sometimes and he could tell by the slight water in her eyes that she was extremely grateful.
“I love you Jay-Jay.” Kaylani wrapped her arms around Jake’s torso once more before her tears started falling. She was overwhelmed with emotion that all she could do was hold on to him for dear life. Jake was like her other half and he knew exactly what she was thinking before she could even tell him. He was there for her through the good and the bad and he was one of the few people who knew how to make her smile almost effortlessly. He knew every little detail about her and if he wasn’t gay she knew she would have been all over him because he would be the perfect boyfriend.
“I love you too baby girl. Now how about we cuddle and have a Nicholas Sparks movie marathon?” All it took was that once sentence for Kaylani to smother herself even further into Jake’s chest as he walked them towards the couch. In an instant she went from feeling numb and confused to feeling slightly happy again.
------------------------------------
Harry let a smile grace his face as he walked through the streets of London. After the phone calls he made that morning he felt like nothing could make his day turn bad. Kaylani would be with him in four days time which meant she would be there for their first show and for every show after that for a little over a month. He could tell from Jake’s phone call that something was going on with her and he just hoped her coming to see him and the boys would brighten her mood a little. After the phone call Liam made yesterday the boys were nagging him about how he talked to her already and didn’t let them talk to her. She may not realize it but it only took two weeks for her to have each of the boys wrapped around her finger.
Walking through the streets a little further, Harry stopped once he found himself outside of an antique looking shop. As he opened the door a bell chimed and he was overcome with the smell of strawberries. Looking around he took notice of all the small things around the store he knew Kaylani would love. From the large shelf full of books on his left to the glass cabinets filled with jewellery on his right. He walked around the store completely one time before circling back to the books and picking one up. When he found a book he thought she might like he went back to the jewellery and instantly noticed a necklace that had a bass clef and a treble clef on it to form the shape of a heart. Next to that necklace was a small silver paper airplane necklace that matched his perfectly. He asked the old woman behind the counter to wrap up both necklaces for him before paying for them along with the book. Satisfied with his purchases he made his way back to the street before hanging a left and walking back to his flat, the smile he wore before never once leaving his face.
Once he reached his flat he hid the items he bought in his dresser. He was beyond excited for Kaylani to come and he knew that four days was still too long for him to wait to see her again. Looking at his watch he noticed it was only 12pm in California and it would be the perfect time for them to have their first Skype date.
Skype? xoxo
Within two minutes Harry felt his phone buzzing in his pocket signalling he had an incoming call. As he took it out let the smile on his face grow even larger when he noticed the contact photo was a picture of him and Kaylani at Disneyland on the ferris wheel. He was kissing her cheek as she had a huge smile on her face while his arm was wrapped tightly around her stomach and her hands rested on top of his.
“Hey there beautiful.” Harry heard Kaylani’s melodic laugh echo through the phone which only caused his smile to grow even more.
“Hey you.” Harry could hear the smile in Kaylani’s voice as she spoke. “We on for a Skype date right now?”
“Of course. I’m just waiting for you to sign on and then I’ll be calling you so I can see that gorgeous face of yours.”
“You’re so cheesy Haz.” As soon as Kaylani appeared on his friends list as being online, Harry clicked her name so he could start a video chat with her. Without hesitation Kaylani answered and soon the two were smiling at each other. “I’m hanging up now.”
Before Harry could respond Kaylani had hung up her phone and placed it on her desk. She chuckled when she saw Harry’s slightly hurt expression. Even though he could still hear her because of their Skype chat he was still mocking hurt at the fact that she hung up on him.
“That hurt babe. I can’t believe you hung up on me.” Harry pushed his bottom lip out as he attempted his best puppy dog face.
“You’ll live.” Kaylani never let the smile fall from her face as she teased Harry. Even just seeing his face and hearing his voice over Skype made her feel better. “So Jake told me I get to come see you in four days.”
“Yes you do princess. I can’t wait.” Harry’s smile grew even wider if that was even possible. He was beyond excited for her to come and if it were up to him she would just stay with them for the entire tour. He already missed the feeling of her tiny frame wrapped up in his muscular arms.
“Good, because there’s some things I need to talk to you about still. God, I can’t wait to see you again. This is crazy isn’t it?” Kaylani fell backwards into her chair as she observed Harry’s amused expression.
“What’s crazy?” He couldn’t help but notice the way her blouse hiked up her stomach showing a little bit of skin. He missed the feeling of his fingers lightly brushing her hips bones as he held her in his arms when they were on the ferris wheel at Disneyland. He already missed her like crazy and it had only been two days. The thought would normally scare him but for once it actually made him smile. He was crazy about the brunette beauty that was currently staring back at him.
“This. Me missing you this much. It’s only been two days and I already miss the feeling of being wrapped in your arms. And your kisses. God, I miss your kisses.” Kaylani chuckled at Harry when she saw his reaction to her last sentence. He was nodding his head vigorously.
“I don’t really think it’s all that crazy. I miss you just as much, if not more, than you miss me.” Harry was memorizing every detail about her face through his laptop screen. He could’ve sworn she got even more beautiful from the last time he saw her, but that would be impossible since she was already perfect.
“I doubt that.” Kaylani rolled her eyes before hearing her name being called from downstairs. She had left Jake downstairs because he decided to make them lunch and he didn’t want to keep her from having her Skype date with Harry. “Hey, I have to go. Jake just finished making lunch for the two of us. I’ll see you soon Haz.”
Harry flashed Kaylani a smile full of dimples before blowing her a kiss. “See you soon princess.”
Once Harry’s screen indicated that Kaylani had in fact ended the call he let himself fall back into his chair as a sigh escaped his lips. He could tell things were changing for him and the thought didn’t scare him the slightest bit. He welcomed the change as long as Kaylani would still be part of his life.
“You love her.” Harry jumped slightly at the new voice and quickly turned his body toward the doorway where he saw Zayn standing with a smirk plastered on his face.
“Er Zayn, we both know it’s a little too soon to be throwing around the L word. It’s been two weeks.” Harry didn’t think he was in love with Kaylani. He had extremely strong feelings for her and that slightly worried him considering they had only been dating for two weeks, but he knew it wasn’t love - at least not yet.
“Just wait and you’ll see what I mean. I’m always right.” Zayn flashed Harry a knowing smile before turning around and walking away only to have Liam take his spot.

“He’s right you know. We can all see it Harry.” Harry couldn’t believe all of the boys thought he was in love with her already. He couldn’t possibly be in love. They had only known each other for two weeks and him asking her out so soon was already pushing it. Love was going just a little too far. He couldn’t possibly be in love with her yet... or could he?
