I'm Yours [h.s]

Chapter 6 ~Slip of a tongue~

~Slip of a tongue~

A week off.

That’s what I needed, that’s what we all needed. This was a long tour going on so far. We had our good times, and I enjoy my time on stage. But its work, work is tiring. Pleasing the fans is such hard work when I always have to force a smile on my face. It’s so hard. Maybe this week off I’m going to use it to try to fix myself slowly.

I’m going to Cheshire finally, I miss home. I miss my mother and my sister dearly. I haven’t seen them properly since the tour started. I haven’t spent family time in forever, I kind of miss it. Maybe some private time alone with them will take my mind off a lot of things.

Now that the wedding is coming up, mum is going to be busy, but I can spend my time with old friends and Gemma.

Right now, all I need is one of my mother’s special home cooked meal. I can’t wait; I am really excited to see their pretty faces.

I grunted as I struggled with my bag into the living room in the tour bus. I looked over at my four mates as they struggled with their own bags; we’re just going off separately after being stuck to each other for long. Don’t get me wrong, we love each other. We love spending time with each other, but hey, we don’t always stick to each other you know?

“Well, this is goodbye for some time eh?” Louis started the dramatic talk and broke the silence after we just kept staring at each other. We all nodded together and huddled in a hug. We’re close brothers now. Time apart from each other is quite a scare now. I’m so used to having them, I’ve spent time close to them more than any other friends I have had in a life time. They’re my second family!

“Alright lads, see you later” I grabbed the handle of the bag and carried my carry-on on my shoulder and tugged and walked out the bus. The air isn’t as chilly as it used to be now that we’re reaching summer slowly. I walked into the airport as I heard the boys behind me.

The air changed as soon as I walked into the airport. I walked over to the lady and handed her my ticket as she wished me a safe flight. I placed both my bags on the metal bars as I pushed it inside to be X-rayed, and took off my belt, watch, sunglasses, and phone and placed them in the box, and walked through the metal detector. When no sound came out, from neither the bag detector, nor human detector I grabbed my things and walked off into the waiting area.

I scanned the area around me. Normal waiting area, with people sitting shifting in their seat impatiently awaiting their flight to be called out. I glanced at an old couple sitting opposite me, the old man was holding the old lady’s hand, he placed his lips on her hand and she smiled adoringly at him, as if she saw him for the first time. I took my glance away from the beautiful couple as soon as I felt someone squeezing my heart. Lora would have loved meeting my family; she loved spending time with them. Her and Gemma got along so damn well, I was shocked actually. And my mother loved her so much. They were heartbroken when she passed away, but no one could be as heartbroken as I am.

My eyes fell on a familiar person, that small body, that short blonde hair – not streaked with crazy colors, the obnoxious dressing sense… Molly. I knew her immediately from the back, as she walked into the bathroom with her head hung low wiping on her eyes. Suddenly I felt curious to what might have made her so upset. I glanced at the lady’s bathroom door until the same petite body came out five minutes later glancing around as her eyes fell on mine and stopped. We stared at each other, not removing our gazes from each other.

Go comfort her dickhead, why are you just sitting here? The voice in my head demanded. I took my glance off and shook my head.

I left my luggage and walked over to Molly as she stood there just staring back at me. When I approached her I noticed her flushing red nose, and the sparkle in her green eyes were gone and replaced by a red cover. “Are you okay?” I finally asked her curious.

Seeing her upset, sad, was quite shocking. This is Molly. Happy, enthusiastic, full of life Molly. She doesn’t cry, she giggles. She doesn’t have red eyes, she has green ones. She doesn’t have a red nose; she has a perfectly upwards shaped skin toned nose. Why’s she crying?

“Um, I… I don’t know” she looked down again and let out a sob. I don’t know what exactly pushed me to do it, maybe my male instinct, or normally whenever fans cry I just lunge forwards and hug them to comfort them. But the first thing I had and decided to do was wrap my arms around her small body. I hugged her tightly to my chest as she sobbed sending vibrations throughout my body. I could feel her tears socking through my shirt, but I didn’t give the least damn about it.

I have been so awful to Molly, always ignoring her thinking that just by looking at her I have been betraying Lora. Maybe Lora wouldn’t have minded me having a friend. Not a girlfriend, a friend.

“It’s alright” I rubbed her back in circles and walked her over to where I was sitting. She adjusted herself on the seat and pulled herself away from me and wiped her eyes with the back of her sweater,

“Oh god” she gave out a laugh, “This is embarrassing, I ruined your shirt” I smiled at her and put my hand around her shoulder and brought her close to my body again and rubbed my hand on her arm. She needed someone to comfort her, a friend. I’m here. I can be a friend, I’m not always bitter.

“What happened love? You alright?” I asked her again. She looked up at me and I could see that she was fighting with herself whether to tell me or not. She finally opened her mouth and spilled her heart out,

“Josh asked me to come with him to meet his family” she started, “I didn’t mind at first, and I accepted. But then I thought, meet his family… that’s a huge step Harry” she looked at me, “That’s a huge step for me. Might not mean much to other people, but it’s a lot to me. I on the last minute, which is a while ago” she chuckled, “told him I don’t want to go. Josh kind of got upset, and his flight took off and he left” she paused and I wasn’t sure whether to start speaking or she had more to say, “And here I am. All alone in an airport, I don’t even know where to go now” her shoulders slumped down and she looked at the floor not meeting my eyes.

“Um, why don’t you just go meet your family?” I asked her confused. If she wasn’t meeting Josh’s family, this would be an opportunity to spend time with hers; I would kill for a usual opportunity as this.

“I-I’m not on really close terms with my family Harry” she said without looking at me and played with her fingers uncomfortably. This wasn’t what I expected from little Molly. Not close to family… what would I have done if I didn’t have my family to back me up? I know I had my mates, but family… that’s huge.

I don’t know what opened my big mouth next, and I don’t know if I was going to regret it, but sometimes I don’t even THINK when I speak, “Come with me to Cheshire Molly”
