Chapter 18

Hello! 

Here is the next update! Sorry, it took awhile, my parents split up and I’m still dealing with the shock of it all. I hope you enjoy this next chapter, I am starting to run out of ideas, so I’m going to need your help! Below in the comments, could you pretty please write some ideas! If I use your idea, I’ll dedicate that chapter to you! Thank you wonderful people! xx

Ruby’s POV

I plopped down on the bed in my PJ’s. I was exhausted after today. Harry was in the bathroom, getting ready to get to bed. We were going to Skype, Nan and Bella. I hoped Liam would be there too. I miss him, as a brother and a friend. Nothing more!

I wonder how Niall is going. I hadn’t replied back to his text message and I was still upset that he would of said those things to me! Why he did it? I have no idea! I pulled my phone out of my pocket and began to go through my messages from Niall. I should reply back to his last message.

To: Niall

I’m unsure what to say Niall. Myself and Harry have fixed things, but I’m not sure about us anymore. I’m not sure if we should fix things. A ‘sorry’ isn’t going to work for me. 

See you when we get back to London. 

R. 

I dropped my phone onto the floor and could see that I had smashed the front of the screen. Shit! I would have to get a new phone now. I reached down to pick it up, but as I did I fell onto the floor next to my phone. Me being me began to laugh at myself. 

“What have you done now?” I heard Harry’s voice speak. Tears begin to spring from my eyes. Of course they weren’t sad tears, they were happy tears from laughing. I rolled onto my back and looked up at Harry. He was shirtless, showing his tattoos. 

“Why are you on the ground laughing missy?” He put his hand out to help me up. I gladly took it and took my phone with me. I placed the phone into his other hand. 

“What happened to the phone?” He asked me, I sat on the bed and began to laugh again. He just shook his head.

Bella’s POV

Anne, Liam and myself were sitting on the couch, waiting for Harry to appear online on Skype. We had been waiting for a while now and I just hoped he had remembered. 

As I clicked onto my twitter page, just to check if Ruby or Harry had posted anything a video call from Harry appeared on the screen.

There appeared on the screen was Harry with a serious face and Ruby looking like she was going to burst like a balloon any minute. 

“Hi! How’s everything going?” Liam spoke, a smile appearing on Harry’s face. 

“Everything is just great here! We just got back after a few hours in the city.” Harry spoke, looking at us. I wished they were both back here in London. 

“Why is Ruby laughing?” I asked.

“She smashed her phone and she fell off the bed. Pretty funny if you ask me! How’s everything there?” 

“Well, after you left it’s been pretty quiet. Niall hasn’t come out of his room at all. Eleanor and Louis haven’t been over nor Zayn and Perrie. It’s quite cold here and we miss you!” I spoke. I looked at Anne, she had tears brimming in her eyes. I guess she didn’t want to talk to anyone. 

“We’ll be coming back home soon! We miss you too!” Ruby was cuddling into Harry’s chest and I wished it was me. I’m missing Harry and Ruby so much and myself and the others miss them too!

“Well, what’s being happening?” Anne asked, wiping away her tears.

Harry and Ruby looked at each other and smiled. “Well, we have been out a little bit and I made a friend called Mia. She’s so nice! Liam, you should come over and we can introduce you to her!” Ruby’s voice sounded tired and her eyes showed that too.

“Awe! Thanks Ruby, but I have met someone! She’s got straight light brown hair with the most beautiful brown eyes! When you guys come back, she can come over!” Liam spoke excitly. I’m glad Liam has met that girl, he didn’t even tell me or Anne! I’m not sure if he had told Niall, but yeah. 

“Liam, you didn’t even tell us, what your lover’s name is?” Harry joked. I shook my head. I saw something go into the kitchen, but I wasn’t sure what it was. My imagination probably. 

“Harry, her name is Ashley and she is amazing!” Liam spoke proudly. 

“Really! That’s so sweet!” Ruby’s voice sang. She made me smile. 

Niall’s POV

I could hear Ruby’s innocent voice, it made me get goosebumps. She couldn’t be back in London. She replied back to my message. I can’t even remember when I sent it. It feels like years since I saw her and Harry.

I walked towards the living room and I could hear Liam, Bella and Anne chatting away. I could hear Harry and Ruby too. I snuck into the kitchen, hoping they wouldn’t see me. This is the first time in a few days since I have been out of my bedroom. 

“How’s Niall going?” Ruby’s voice muttered. 

“I’m not sure. He hasn’t come out of his room since... I don’t even know.” Anne answered Ruby’s question.

“I hope he is alright.” Liam muttered. 

Maybe they did care about me.
