Forever and Always
Chapter 19
“I’m sorry; did you just say I’m capable of standing out?” I ask Simon, making sure.
He nods and pulls out his phone. “I know about you singing in their concert sometimes. And just with that, you got quickly famous earning millions of followers.”
“So?” I ask, not wanting to be rude.
He sighs. “It’s up to you, Holly. But in my opinion, I would love you to be part of my label. You have a strong voice but at the same time, very appealing and sexy.”
I smirk. “Sexy?” I start laughing and he laughs with me.
“I’ve been watching you, actually. You really have the power to be the next big thing. The girl version of Justin Bieber.”
“I can try,” I state. “When should I start?”
“Sadly, tomorrow morning.”
I gape. “Isn’t that too quick?”
“That’s how things work, Holly.”
I smile. “Fine,”
“There’s one more thing.” He adds.
“What is it?” I ask.
“You’ll be working in the studio at Los Angeles.”
“I don’t know, Simon. I love touring with the boys…”
“Please? You might think I’m exaggerating this but, I beg of you. And I don’t beg.”
I roll my eyes. “Can I at least hang out with them tonight?” I ask. “I want to tell them the news.”
“Fine, but no drinking. I don’t want you hang over when you reach the airport.” I nod. “There will be a van to pick you up tomorrow morning at 9. Be ready.”
“I will.” And with that, I took off.
I take a deep breath before I enter the club. I know my dress didn’t fit the place. It was too girly and white. I made my way toward the middle of the dance floor, turning around in circles, looking for the boys. Suddenly, someone grabs me by my waist and presses himself on me, hard. “You in the wrong place?” he asks. I could smell the alcohol and weed from this breath and I cringe my nose in disgust.
“Get off me!” I shout. From the loud music, my shout was just like a whisper. But someone was able to hear me because someone punches him straight in the face and his grip was loosened and I was able to free myself.
“You okay?” he asks. I look up and It was Louis.
“Yeah,” I answer. “He’s just drunk. Leave him alone.” I drag Louis out of the dance floor and we made our way toward the VIP lounge.
“Holly!” Liam cheers. “Thank God I have someone sober with me.”
Perrie and the girls ran toward me and shoved a bottle of beer in my hand. “Just in time!” Jesy cheers.
“Guys, I can’t drink.” I say with a smile.
“That’s a first!” Kiera coos.
“I have to tell you something.” I state but they don’t hear me and they continue laughing, dancing and drinking. “Guys,” I repeat. Still, no response. “GUYS!” I shout. Now, I got their attention and they stop what they were doing.
“I’m leaving for LA tomorrow.” I say and they stare at me with shock and confusion. “Simon offered me a job for SYCO music and I have to leave for LA tomorrow.”
All of them were staring right through me and I awkwardly stood there, waiting for any kind of response. Suddenly, they all came to me and formed a group hug. “Congratulations!” they cheer.
“Let’s make a toast.” Niall says, holding up his beer bottle. “For Holly,”
“For Holly,” they repeat and we clink our bottles and shots against each other.
While I was drinking my beer, I kept my eyes wide open, looking for Harry. I wanted to see his expression but he was no where inside. “Where’s Harry?” I whisper to Liam, who was the most decent to talk to because he was still sober.
“I don’t know…” he answers. “He left with someone.”
I look down. “Oh,”
*Harry's POV*
BEEEEEEEPPP! I jump from my current position and hit my forehead on the hood of my car and I blink twice to clear my vision. My head was pouding but it didn't really hurt much. I open the car door and stepped out and I remember, I must've fell asleep last night. There was this chick who was hitting on me and took advantage of my drunk state, and brought me out with her but I had enough wisdom, to tell her to fuck off and I just went straight to my car. The sun was blazing and I was sweating like crazy, I check the time it was 8:45. SHIT. We were leaving for Newcastle at 10. Paul will kill me.
I quickly went back inside my car and started driving to the hotel, praying that Paul won't kill me. It only took me 2 minutes 'till I reach the hotel and I park my car behind and literally jumped off the car and ran straight to the lobby, where everyone was standing up, pacing back and forth.
"Harry!" Liam shouts. "Where were you?" he asks, angrily. He was beyond pissed, and I didn't like him getting mad.
"Chill, Liam, we're leaving at 10 anyways." I say, raising my hands in defeat.
"Are you crazy?! Holly's leaving at 9! You have about 10 minutes 'till she leaves!" Perrie shouts at me.
Now, I'm confused. "What are you talking about?" I ask.
"We have no time to explain! Just go!" Louis says, pushing me back to the parking area.
"She's leaving for LA! We'll explain when you get back!" Niall adds.
I had no idea what they were talking about and the only thing processing in my mind was Holly leaving for LA, and I didn't want to make the same mistake of letting her go again so I quickly turn around and started running but Kiera shouts after me, "Harry!" I turn around and waited for her response and she rummages something inside her bag and threw something at me. I catch it and when I open my palm, it was the infinity necklace I gave Holly. "Go fix things." she says and I nod, running back to my car.
I start the engine and started driving toward the airport and I didn't care if I was driving too fast, I just needed to fix things with her. When I reach the airport, I park quickly and got out of my car, running toward the entrance, I pass by security and they chase after me while I panic. When I reach the departure area, I catch a glimpse of her plane and before I could make a move, security caught me leaving me to watch her plane leave London.
And leave me. Again.
*Holly's POV*
I stare outside my window while the plane was preapring to depart. I wish Harry would run after me and stop the plane, like what they do in movies, but he didn't. Nothing happened while I sat alone in the plane. I was depressed when we couldn't find him since last night. He's probably with that girl he left with at the club. I never even got to tell him about the news.
The girls and I slept in the same room last night, hanging out with me as much as possible but I knew, they were all staying just to make sure I was okay. I AM OKAY.
I think.
I mean, guys are really like that. Sex then go, then why couldn't I learn my lesson? A tear rolls down my cheek, and I clutch on to my chest, wanting to hold on to the necklace Harry gave me. But it wasn't there. I panic and look down at my chest, where was my necklace? I search my bag, it wasn't there as well. I cry harder and I close my eyes.
It was gone.
"If happy ever after did exist, I would still be holding you like this. All those fairy tales are full of shit."
He nods and pulls out his phone. “I know about you singing in their concert sometimes. And just with that, you got quickly famous earning millions of followers.”
“So?” I ask, not wanting to be rude.
