The One That Got Away

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

3 weeks later

I threw my head back in laughter as Gabey replaced herself firmly on the chair. We were currently playing monopoly since we decided it was probably good to work the wheels in our brain once in while after going weeks of just having a good time. Gabey had gotten up to get some orange juice and when she came back Nina kicked her chair back making Gabey fall flat on her butt and all of her orange juice fall on her. Nina and I nearly died of laughter as she had to go bathe to get the stickiness off of her. Nina cleaned the mess she made while I checked my mentions on twitter while she was bathing.

"Nina, 5 words. Sleep, with, one, eye, open." Gabey muttered to Nina before we continued with our game.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket so I pulled it out and saw that Harry was calling me. A smile spread across my face just seeing his name and I answered the call.

"Hey, babe. You do know that this is costing a fortune, right?" I said into the phone signalling the girls I was talking to Harry and leaving the room to go up the stairs and into my room for privacy.

"I don't care. I missed hearing your voice." He answered.

I giggled. "What's up, Styles?"

"Last names now, eh? What happened to The Sexy God From Heaven or-"

"Don't make your already big ego get bigger, I never called you that." I chuckled.

"Hurtful." I could hear him fake sobbing. My mind drifted to the girls downstairs and how if I stayed up here any longer, I would never hear the end of it.

"Babe, I really love talking to you-"

"And you love me."

I giggled. "But the girls are downstairs right now and are going to be so angry with me if I don't get back to them now, so want to tell me why you called?"

"I feel so loved right now."

"Harry, I will hang up."

"No, no! Don't do that! I called to tell you we got off earlier. We're coming home tomorrow!"

I screamed. "Shut up!"

"I think, considering my ear drums are pounding, you should tell that to yourself, love."

"ROXY! TELL HARRY TO SHUT UP AND GET YOUR LAZY BUM DOWN HERE! IT'S YOUR TURN AND I WILL NOT HESITATE TO STEAL SOME OF YOUR MONEY IF YOU DON'T COME DOWN IN 10 SECONDS." Gabey's voice travelled up the stairs and into my room.

I sighed. "I have to go, babe. We'll be picking you up, right? What time?"

He told me all the details and we hung up after a very 'lovey dovey' good bye. I ran down the stairs and abruptly stopped holding my hands up in the air like jazz hands. They gave me quizzical looks and looked like they were about to crack up in laughter but I quickly said something before they could start.

"Guess who we're seeing tomorrow!" I yelled jumping up. "ONE DIRECTION!" I said like how they said it on the X- Factor.

They screamed and ran over to me, engrossing me in a huge bear hug. We returned to our game, our smiles never leaving our faces.

I ran into the airport, the girls hot on my heels. I looked around. We had about 10 minutes before the boys would come bustling through those doors. To know he was in the same building as me made my heart race with excitement. This seemed to be the longest 10 minutes ever.

I pulled at my hair in frustration looking over at the other girls who were biting their lips in anxiety. 9 more minutes, according to my white iPhone and I was already jumping about in excitement. I mean, who wouldn't be?

8 minutes. "Gaaahhh!" I groaned into the palms of my hands. Why couldn't time just go by faster?

7 minutes. Come on! Come on! Come on!

6 minutes. Seriously, just move a little faster.

5 minutes. I'll buy you some ice cream! Just hurry up!

4 minutes. Well, you wouldn't be able to eat the ice cream since you're a phone and-

3 minutes. This is just plain, torture.

2 minutes. Oh my god. Just move!

1 minute. COME ON!

I looked up to see many people filing out but my eyes were only searching for those green orbs I had grown to love my whole life, the brown head of curls I loved play with and the cheeky smile that had become famous to the world.

Liam was the first to walk out, his head down and typing furiously on his phone.

Zayn was followed after, his head also down, and typing something into his iPhone.

Niall was next. He was scanning the crowd of people looking for who I knew by the look on his face, was Gabey. They ran at each other and engulfed each other in a bone crushing hug. I smiled watching them.

Louis came out from behind him and ran straight at Nina. Their lips immediately locked and his hands made their way around her waist while her hands rested on his chest. By now, they were full on snogging. I fought the urge to fake gag.

And last but not least, my boyfriend walked out, his eyebrows hunched together and his lips formed into one neat line while he searched the crowd for me. Our eyes met and he dropped his duffle bags while I lunged myself into his arms. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck as he held me supportively by the waist. He smashed his lips onto mine and I ran my hand through his curls.

I realized something right there and then.

Wherever Harry was, was my home.
