Harry’s POV

“Amber??” I call out through the phone. I can hear her deep breathing, and other voices as well. I am sitting on my bed in the hotel room, growing impatient.

We just got back from rehearsals and we have our last concert tomorrow night, which will be an emotional one. We did however start on our next album, which is good. Anyways, Louis and Zayn are watching television, and Liam and Niall are shouting out/waving to the fans outside the hotel.

“Amber, are you okay? I can hear you breathing…” I say quietly. She doesn’t respond. She becomes so incredibly quiet that I had to check the phone to see if she was still on the line or not.

“Where is she?” I faintly hear a female voice say.

“I don’t know. Are you sure you checked her room?” A male voice asks. More shuffled noises are made before the silence returns, as the phone was pushed aside. You can hear items being moved, and her petite voice sighing.

“Oh my god…” She breathes out.

“Amber…” I said, hoping she could hear me. She still doesn’t say anything. Does she know I’m still on the line? “What happened?” I ask when she doesn’t say anything. The guys are now looking at me with confused looks.

“Who are you talking to, Harry?” Zayn asks me.

“Amber, have you not been hearing me call for her the past couple minutes?!” I said before shushing him. He raised his eyebrows and held his hands up in surrender. Liam and Niall left the window and Louis muted the television and joined me on my bed, trying to listen to what she says even though she hasn't said a word.

“Put it on speaker.” Niall nudges me. I pull the phone away from my ear and pressed the speaker button, before setting the phone down on the plush bed, watching it sink slightly.

“Bambi…?” Louis tries. We heard her gasp before hearing more rustling on her end, as if she was looking for her phone.

“Louis?” She says quietly. A door hinge creaks slightly and slowly.

“Hey, Bambi. Uh, what are you doing?” He asks her. I began to get slightly irritated that she responded to him when I have been trying to get her attention for the past five minutes. She sighs heavily before speaking.

“Wait, hang on for one minute. Don’t. Make. A. Sound. At least until I say so.” She says quietly yet sternly.

“Okay.” Louis whispers. The door hinge creaks more, followed by the sound of running feet across the hardwood floor.

I remember that her hallways were hardwood, and the bedrooms were carpeted. The same voices from earlier could be heard faintly. Another door opens and shuts quickly followed by another door opening and shutting. Water begins to run, and the sound of her humming quickly and loudly fills the room. Was she about to shower? There was a knock on the door, and the phone makes a weird noise.

“Yes?” She calls out.

“Amber, is that you?” The male voice asks.

“Yes father.” She answers.

“Were you in there the whole time?” The female voice asks.

“Yes mother.” She replies.

“Alright then…” Her father, I suppose, said before they walked away. Once the sound of a door shuts, she lets out a large breath of relief.

“Can we talk now, I don’t know how much longer I can hold…” Louis jokes. Shuffling noises were made before her shaky voice comes on.

“Yeah. Sorry about that. I probably should have hung up instead and called you back.” She says quietly, out of breath.

“Don’t worry about it. But… Amber, what’s going on?” Liam asks her.

“Nothing. I’m all good now.”

“Amber…”

“Nothing, I swear. I’m actually getting ready for work. I got a late shift tonight, and I gotta leave my house right now. I just remembered. So what’s up with you guys?” She asks, changing the subject. Niall then immediately snatches my phone, taking off the speaker.

“We are bored at the hotel room, and we’re hungry.” He says.

“Niall, we just had dinner, you had seconds and-” Liam starts but Niall cuts him off.

“Yeah. … Yes! … What time? … Today?” He says while pacing the room. She begins to respond but we can’t hear what she says. I can hear the tone of her voice though, but it isn’t a good one. The other guys exchange confused looks as we look back to Niall who stopped walking around.

“What? … Yeah, sure. Hold on.” He covers up the phone with his hand and walks back to us. “Liam.” He says, handing Liam the phone. Liam looks up at him, with a puzzled face, but Niall just shrugs. I still can’t get over the fact that my phone is being passed around in this manner, without me on it…

“Amber?” He says into the phone. I hear her muffled voice from my spot on the bed, and Liam’s face turned into a happy one. “Hello! How are you?” he asks politely. After a couple seconds of hearing him talk to her, I noticed Liam’s facial expression goes serious. He soon says goodbye and hangs up the phone, throwing it to my direction for me to catch. He goes through his bag and takes out his phone, dialing a number before bringing it to his ear.

“Mate, what she say?” Zayn asks, as Louis un-mutes the TV. Liam stayed quiet for a moment.

“She says that if you guys want to go by her workplace when she gets there you’re welcome to visit. She is going to be there at 9:30 pm, so in about ten minutes.” He says as he looks down at his watch. The person on the other end must have answered because Liam began to apologize while leaving the room. Everyone then looked at me.

“What?” I ask them.

“Do you want to go?” Niall asks me, moving his eyebrows up and down repeatedly. Louis nudges him, causing him to stop. My mind quickly wanders back to the last time I went in there, and the image of Amber hurt flashed clearly before my eyes. I looked down to my now healed hand, the anger running through my veins at the memory. But then, the conversation we had afterwards at her house comes through.

“Harold…” Someone says, pulling me out of my trance. I focus back on to who was shaking me, which was none other than Louis.

“Let’s go.” I say with a smile.

“You won’t beat up her boss though, right?” Zayn asks.

“I won’t unless he lays another finger on her…” I mumbled softly.

“What?”

“Let’s just go.” I said, getting up and grabbing my beanie. They just looked at each other and shrugged, but got up to join me anyway. We piled onto the elevator, and after countless minutes of greeting the fans outside, we got into a taxi and drove off.
