Harry’s POV

We arrived to the airport, nothing but silence fills the van. It’s been like this for the entire trip. The van comes to a stop after getting as close to the building as possible, with Chasity pulling in from behind. Almost immediately, the fans crowd around us, banging on the glass. I take my hand and take holds of Amber’s, who looks a bit uneasy and squeeze it gently.

She looks up to me, making me break out a small grin and my heart skip a beat. But she only looks down, placing her head on my shoulder. I sigh quietly, knowing that she is still upset about the sudden change of events. I didn’t mean to forget, I just wanted to take her on a date for her birthday. I planned it for a while, and with work it’s making it harder to do so. I’m honestly a bit surprised at how calm she is right now.

“Alright everyone, ready to go?” Paul asks, removing his seatbelt. We all silently nod, and with that Paul exits the vehicle, slowly making his way to our door. Immediately I realize that Amber is right at the door. And there are directioners out there. The door slides open, and I quickly maneuver myself in front of her, receiving a confused look from her, but I don’t care. The girls begin to scream and come closer to us as I exit the van, Amber taking a handful of my shirt from the back. I shift in placing, bringing my arms around her securely and bringing her tight to my chest.

“Harry!” Many of them scream.

“Who is she, Harry? Is that Amber, or Jessica’s sister?” Another one yells out.

“Hug me instead, Harry! I love you more!”

“You can do so much better, Harry!”

The comments quickly turn negative, and I am trying my best to not let it get to me. I know that this was bound to happen, but I just want them to stop.

“She’s gross, Harry! Don’t tell me you have become blind!” A snotty voice yells, making me grasp Amber tighter to me. Paul is trying his hardest to make a gap for us and let us go through, but the ratio of him to them, well, they weren’t close to even. A sudden yank and a squeal triggers my senses, as Amber had quickly disappeared from me into the crowd.

“Amber!” I shout, walking in the direction she disappeared in, but the girls crowd around me, taking pictures.

“Harry, let’s go.” Paul says, forcing me back to the airport, the guys helping him.

“Guys, what about Amber?” I argue, turning back to see if I could find her.

“Paul will get her, we have to get you all inside.” A security man says, stepping in and guiding us into the building. We pushed our way inside, and I note how Chasity and Niall had met up with us, but Paul and Amber were not present. We come to this small room for us, and were all escorted inside.

“You okay?” The man asks us after closing the door behind him. Everyone nods, but I sit down and begin to bounce my knee, watching the door.

“Don’t worry Harry. Paul and Amber will be right back.” Chasity says, taking a seat by me.

A few minutes pass, and they are still not back. The door hasn’t been touched, and my gaze to the door has not been removed. The gang sits around me, talking amongst themselves. I hear Louis joke about something, but I couldn’t catch what it was. I remove my eyes from the door for a second to check the time on my phone. 7:10. Our flight leaves in 50 minutes. The door opens, and my head quickly shoots up, my eyes searching for Amber. Paul walks in, shutting the door behind him, my heart drops.

“Let’s get you guys to your gate.” He says solemnly, turning to open the door.

“Where’s Amber?” I ask. He stops with his hand gripping the door handle, back to me.

“She’s in the bathroom. She said she had to ‘go’..” He says, using his fingers to quote before opening the door all the way. I sigh in relief, and follow him out the door. Once I stepped out, I glance around the open area, finding the women’s bathroom.

“I’ll be back.” I tell Paul, patting him on the shoulder. “And thank you for finding her.”

“Be quick, Harry. I don’t want to hear you stepping foot into that bathroom, understood? I’ve had it up to here with the paps.” He says without turning around. I smile at him and walk up to the door, knocking on it a couple times. There weren’t many people around, so I think she would be the only one in there.

“Amber?” I call, but no answer. I rest my head on the door, my hand dangling to the handle, teasing me to just open it and see if she’s okay.

“Really, Harry?” I hear behind me.

“What? I can be a lady.” I joke to Chasity, turning to her.

“Move. You can’t go in there. I’ll bring her over there. You get going.” She instructs me, walking in quickly and shutting the door behind her. Why does everyone keep telling me to stay out? The sound of the lock makes me feel a bit nervous, my mind jumping to a couple conclusions. I wouldn’t actually go in there, unless I had to. I look around, seeing no one and press my ear against the door.

“Amber?” Chasity asks. I quiet voice said something, but I couldn’t catch it. I hear a door creak open before a gasp.

“No!” Echoes inside, following with a thud.

“Amber! It’s just me! What happened?” Chasity suddenly yells, making me tense.

“Don’t. Please. I’ll be right out.” I hear Amber say. What’s going on? I press my head closer to the door, hoping to catch something.

“Here, let me take care of this. Take this.” A hiss noise was heard for a second.

“Thank you… No. Keep it, I’m okay.”

“You’re crazy. Come on.” Feet come closer to the door, but suddenly stop. “Amber, come on. I’m sure Harry can tell you-”

“No! He doesn’t know… He doesn’t understand. He won’t understand. He is going to think I’m crazy.” I can feel my heart beating quicker and getting heavier. What is she talking about?

“Amber, I’m getting Harry.” The door unlocks and swing open. I step back and hold my fist out, as if I was going to knock. Chasity jolts back, obviously not expecting me to be here.

“You rang?” I questioned, not wanting to jump to conclusions... Just yet.

“You stayed, didn’t you?” She asks, crossing her arms.

“No, but I was nearby.” I covered.

“Uh huh, yeah.” She rolls her eyes. “But come on, she-” She abruptly cuts herself off, making me cock an eyebrow.

“She, she uh,” She stutters, looking back for a second before facing me. “She passed out again. Can you carry her?” She asks me. I quickly nod, not having to be asked twice. She opens the door wider, giving me room to walk in.

The door closes and Chasity led me around the corner to see Amber sitting on a bench, hiding her face while wearing Chasity’s light jacket. I walk up to her and got on my knees in front of her, my hands softly resting on her knees.

“Hey, sweetheart.” I whisper, tilting my head to the side and moving into her view. A smile comes out from me as she lifts her head up. I run my hand through her hair, bringing out a soft smile from her.

“You okay?” I ask her, watching her face carefully. Her eyes sadden, but she nods either way. “Come on, let’s get you out of here.”

I pick her up and carry her like a small child, her head resting on my shoulder and arms clinging around my neck. One of my hands supports her bum, the other on her back, rubbing it slightly. Her legs wrapped around my waist. I place a kiss on her shoulder before walking to the door. Chasity opens the door for us, and I carry her out to our location, which wasn’t far. I let my head rest on her head, feeling her sigh against my neck, relieving me somewhat.

“Is she okay?!” Louis immediately questions as we come into view, shooting up from his seat and jogging over to us. The rest of the guys stand, ready to do the same. I nod my head at Louis.

“Just a bit tired, that’s all.” I find an empty seat and sit us down. I move her legs to dangle off to the side, her head still resting on my right shoulder as she lays on my chest. I wrap my arms loosely around her, burying my face in her coconut scented hair that I will miss, and gently rocking us side to side. She seems to fit into me perfectly, making me feel like I don’t want to ever let her go. Louis sits next to me, poking his finger to her head.

“Bambi?” He pouts at her. She groans slightly and moves her head to face him. I roll my eyes and squeeze her tighter to me. Louis smiles at her and moves his finger to her face and poke her cheek.

“Lou.” She mumbles before burying her head into my shoulder again. He continues to do it at a quicker pace which was making her giggle.

“Alright, that’s enough.” She pulls back from me and gets off of my lap. My hands involuntarily reached out for her to bring back the warmth but she moves quickly. She walks away from us to Chasity and Niall who were watching from a distance.

“Is she still mad?” Louis questions, both of us watching her.

“I hope not…” I mutter. “She said that she understands that this is our lifestyle.” I quoted her. I’m just hoping that she does understand...

“Flight 747 is now boarding, I repeat Flight 747 is now boarding. First Class can now board.” The lady at the front desk says into the phone.

“But does she accept it, that’s the real question.” Louis says before getting up.

“Alright, let’s get going.” Paul clasps his hands together. I look over to the group, enveloping the girls in a group hug. I stand up with a sigh and make my way there as well.

Amber’s POV

“Guys, we did this already, you can just go now.” I jokingly say, only making the hug tighter.

“Obviously no. We need to do this again.” Liam protests after the hug breaks. They made the same line as earlier, only making my heart drop again. The moment is actually here, all too quick. We did the same goodbyes, and ending it with me and Harry at the end of the line.

“I’m going to miss you.” Harry starts, shoving his hands in his pockets.

“I’m gonna miss you too.” I reply. He sighs and takes me in a hug, his scent filling my nostrils.

“If anything happens, let me know, okay?” He asks, squeezing me tighter.

“Of course.”

“If you need somebody to talk to, I’m here for you.”

“Okay, Harry.”

“Even if you are bored in-”
“Harry,” I start to laugh. I break the hug and hold his jaw in my hands. “I got it. I will talk to you when I can, but only if you do as well. Also… You take care of yourself, okay?” He moves his head into my right hand, acting like a cat when it wants to be petted. It was actually a cute sight to see, making me feel even worse now.

“Always.” He removes my right hand and places a kiss on top, before placing another one on my forehead, making my heart flutter. After one last tight hug and taking in each other’s presence, he joins the boys over by the door, and walking inside. Chasity stands by me, watching them walk away until we couldn’t see them anymore.

“Want to go wait by the window?” Chasity asks with a sniffle. I look over to her, and see her with red, teary eyes. I took her in a hug, and felt her cry on my shoulder, only making me begin to tear up. I guide us to the window where we could see the plane. We take a seat and wait for the plane to leave. My phone vibrates in my pocket, startling me.

“Already?” Chasity jokes, wiping away her tears from her cheeks. I do the same before opening the message.

From: Curls:
Please don’t cry, love. You’re making us want to cry. I miss you already. :’(

I look up and soon enough I see a hand waving ferociously in a window near the front. I smile and wave back.

To: Curls:
Blame Chase. She’s the one that started it.

“The guys can see us. Don’t cry they say.” I tell Chasity, making her head pop up and look at the plane, soon finding them as well, waving back. My phone vibrates, making me smile yet I haven’t even read it yet.

From: Curls:
Wow. Going to give her a piece of my mind. Through Niall, of course. :P Have you stopped crying now?

To: Curls:
For now, I’ll just cry later :P

From: Curls:
NO :(

To: Curls:
Kidding :P Maybe.

From: Curls:
Tease. DX

The people on the ground begin to clear out, as the engine for the plane revs up.

“Here we go.” I say quietly. My phone vibrates again.

From: Curls:
I have to go, I’ll text you when I land, promise. :( xx

To: Curls:
I know, I’m watching you leave right now. And just don’t wake me up, got it? xx

Hitting send, I stand up and move closer to the glass as they begin to leave out of our sight. The plane moves faster, Chasity is now by my side. The plane takes off, we grasp hands. The plane is out of sight, and the heavy heart returns.

“Excuse me?” A voice says behind us. We turn to see one of the security men. “We have your car ready.” He tells us. We nod, thanking him. We follow him out, a crowd already building up, making me tense. Chasity looks back at me and takes my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

“Please give room.” The men around us say. We make it to Chasity’s car, and make it in safely. Silence fills the car, waiting for the crowd to give room.

“Well, guess it’s back to just us again.” Chasity says. I nod in agreement. She starts the engine, and drive us out. My phone vibrates again, surprisingly. I open it and begin to smile again.

From: Curls:
You will always make me smile, despite the miles. :) See you on Skype! Bye sweetheart.
