The Fight

*This was originally in 3 parts but I decided to post all 3 parts together into one long one here

It had been a really long day out with El and Dani shopping and getting her nails and hair done for the vacation they were all about to take together. Angela had finally gotten home, and as she pulled into the driveway; she saw that Harry was already home from the studio. She excitedly to jump out of her car and ran towards the door as fast as she could because she had missed Harry all day. Before she opened the front door though Angela noticed a car that she didn’t recognize out front. She figured Harry had brought some guest home from work to talk business or something. She unlocked the door and walked in setting her purse and scarf on the table in the entry way. She took off her jacket and placed it on the coat rack right by the door

           “Harry I’m home.” Angela called into the house. She walked into the living room trying to find Harry because he wasn’t in the office or the kitchen. That was when she saw Harry kissing another girl, and she stopped in her tracks. She could feel tears start to fill her eyes. Never in their entire relationship had Harry ever been unfaithful. It is wasn’t like he couldn’t have hid what he was doing, she had literally called from the door that she was home. “What the hell?” Angela voiced her shock and anger.

           Harry quickly pulled away from the kiss and looked surprised to see her standing in the entryway of the living room, “Hey baby.” Angela looked from Harry to the girl and back again. Tears finally starting to fall from her eyes and roll down her cheeks.

           “DON’T YOU DARE CALL ME BABY! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?” She yelled.

           Harry stood up and ran to her side trying to pull her into his arms, “No no no, it’s not what you think I swear.”

           She stepped out of Harry’s reach, “How can it not be what I think? I JUST SAW YOU KISSING HER! THERE ISN’T ANYTHING ELSE IT COULD BE” Angela screamed at him and then started for the door. She just wanted to leave that place. She grabbed her jacket and started to put it back on.

           “No wait please,” Harry ran after her. “I’m so sorry. Please forgive me!”

“It isn’t that easy Harry,” she put on her scarf “you can’t just make out with some random girl in our flat and expect me to just forgive you after I catch you.” Angela grabbed her purse “Or wait, you weren’t expecting me to catch you because you weren’t expecting me home this early. So, what were you going to do Harry? Just keep screwing that slut hoping I would never find out?! You are Harry freaking Styles for God sakes the paparazzi would have eventually caught you in the act.”

Angela grabbed her keys. “Then I would have found out way later from one of your fans, or as some of them are, my haters on twitter. I guess it is a good thing I found out now though before we got married or something.” she finished while walking out the door. Tears streaming down her face, she slammed the door behind her. She could hear the door open behind her and she knew Harry was following her, but she didn’t care.

           “She kissed me first I swear” Harry grabbed her arm stopping her from getting in her car. He spun her around to look at him. She pulled out of his grip with anger and sadness written all over her face.

           “And you expect me to believe that you weren’t kissing her back? Huh? Is that what you are doing here? I saw your arms around her waist, Harry! I may be blonde, but I am not stupid!” Angela yelled at him getting even more mad with each passing sentence.

           “I am so so sorry, Angel. Please forgive me. I love you, so much.” He fell to his knees in front of her.

           “Tell me, why did you kiss her back? WHY HARRY? AM I NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU ANYMORE?” She asked her sadness overshadowing her anger.

           “She thought that I didn’t have girlfriend, and she was being so nice to me every time she saw me. I didn’t want to hurt her feelings by saying that I did have a girlfriend,” he stared off a little like he was trying to figure out how it all ended up happening. “because I am tired of the sad look in every girl’s eyes when she finds out I am no longer single. I didn’t even know she was going to come over. I never thought that one little kiss would matter, and then I was going to tell her about our relationship.” He ended his explanation.

           “Unless she is living under a rock somewhere, Harry, she knew you had a girlfriend. It is constantly mentioned not just online but in interviews. I am constantly photographed with you or the girls. How could she not know you had a girlfriend? Also, Harry, one little kiss really? That doesn’t matter to you! Do you know how horrible that sounds? Whether it is just one little kiss, so you don’t hurt some slut’s feelings or not it is still considered cheating Harry!” She stared at him in disbelief of his ignorance. “If you truly loved me you wouldn’t have kissed her at all, and you would have told her that you had a girlfriend immediately, that you loved very much the moment you noticed that she was flirting with you.” Angela’s tears were still streaming down her face. Her anger was beginning to rise again.

           Harry slumped down on to the ground, “So are we over now?? Please, I don’t want to lose you, I am terribly sorry.” She could tell Harry was close to crying.

          “Harry, I don’t know that I can trust you anymore! How do I know that one day some fan won’t just kiss you and you won’t kiss her back because you don’t want her to feel rejected?” Angela started to cry harder just thinking about him doing it all over again, “Or that some girl on a video shoot won’t start to like you and this won’t happen again? Or even something worse where it is more than just a kiss, since after all kissing leads to making out, which eventually leads to sex!” She couldn’t stop her anger from rising till she was yelling at him in the middle of the driveway. She was so upset she didn’t even care if their neighbors heard her. “Harry how do I know that I can trust that none of this is ever going happen! Just seeing that ‘one little kiss’ as you call it has already shattered my heart into a million pieces that I don’t think that I can ever reassemble. I love you Harry and I thought you loved me too, but I guess I was wrong about that”

           Harry got incredibly angry that she would suspect he would ever sleep with another woman, “REALLY? YOU THINK I DON’T LOVE YOU? HAVE I EVER DOUBTED YOU BEFORE??? NO, I HAVE TRUSTED AND BELIEVED EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER TOLD ME,” Harry got to his feet and started yelling back at her. “EVEN WHEN YOU HAD TO ACT OUT THE KISSING SCENES IN YOUR STUPID T.V SHOW! I STAYED CALM BECAUSE I KNEW YOU WOULD NEVER GO OFF WITH HIM!!!… YOU NEVER EVEN TRUSTED ME ONCE!!!” Angela could see the hurt and anger in Harry’s tear-filled eyes. He calmed down a little bit not wanting the neighbors to call the police on him, “And recently you have been so wrapped up in your T.V show, that I feel like I don’t even exist in your life anymore.” Tears finally start to stream down his face. Angela hasn’t stopped crying this whole time. She had never felt like this before in her entire life. It was as if the whole world was crashing down around them.

           “That is completely different, Harry. That is something called acting, where what you were doing was in real life. I have always trusted you because I know how your fans can get and I know how every girl on this God for Saken Earth looks at you wishing they could kiss you, be your girlfriend, and other things I don’t even want to think about right now. So you can’t even say I have never trusted you!” She told him in a calmer voice, trying to bring the argument from a screaming match to a civilized level, “I have never believed anything the tabloids have said about you cheating on me, I never believed any edited photo posted on twitter to get me away from you. I have always believed you this whole time, till I seen it with my own eyes!”

Angela covered her face not wanting to let him see how hurt she actually was. “The funny thing is El, Dani, and I had planned a vacation for all of us. So, we could have some alone time. I needed to finally get away from my T.V show because I feel like it is killing me. Now on the night I was going to surprise you with it, I walk in on you kissing some little trashy slut.” Harry looked at her with surprise in his eyes. Since he didn’t say anything she continued, “Do you honestly think I want to be on that stupid set all day away from you, not seeing you till we both get off work? No, but acting is something I love to do, and I never complain to you about never seeing you while you are recording or out on tour because I know you love singing so much! It is your life just like acting is mine.”

           Harry finally found the words that were caught in the back of his throat while Angela spoke, “Really you planned a vacation for us? Why would you waste your money like that???” She couldn’t believe he would call wanting to spend time with him and their friends a waste of money.

           “Because I want time away from the city. Where we could both get away from work, away from paparazzi, away from fans, and just curl up in each other’s arms Harry! I love you and you are the only thing in this world that makes all the work and all the hate I get worth it. So, to me it wasn’t a waste of money, it was a present to myself as well as you.” She responded turning away from his face. She finally gave up and fell to a sitting position on the ground, “Because without you I would die, and I felt like you were starting to question whether I loved you still or not. So, I knew I needed to get us away so I could show you that I have not and could never ever stop loving you,” Angela covered her face with her hands and just cried her heart out. Her arms were propped up on her knees supporting her head as she sobbed.

           “It’s not like you aren’t questioning me, too.” He said just staring at her as she sat there and cried.

           She looked up at him, “Harry, I only questioned your love for me because I will never understand why you would fall in love with a girl like me. A girl who in real life, not on the screen and not in the interviews I have to do, is crazy. I know I am not that pretty, plenty of casting directors have told me that. I have absolutely no sense of fashion and half the time when we are at home I look like a lazy mess in sweats and a baggy jumper. Yet everyday somehow this” She gestured to herself, “this is in your arms kissing you goodnight. I didn’t question your love for me because of lack of seeing you and the girls around you. I questioned your love for me because I have always known that you deserved better and when I saw you kissing that girl, I guess I just felt that all my previous thoughts were right…that I have and never could be worthy of your love” Angela cried harder covering her face back up with her hands to hide in shame.

           “Why would you ever think that?” Harry knelt down in front of her grabbing her hands and pulling them away from her face, “At signings a lot of girls give me their twitter names and phone numbers, and do I ever proceed to get into contact with them?? No, I don’t baby, because I love you for everything you are, and exactly for who and how you are.” He wiped the tears from her cheeks, “and all that stuff you said about what kissing leads to….” he leaned in closer to her, “I already have you to do all that with and I would not want to do any of that with anyone else in the world. You are my love, my life and my soul. You are everything I need and more and I love you. Please forgive me and don’t ever think that I would ever need anything else in the world other than you because you are my world.”

           Angela looked up at him, “Harry I don’t want to fight anymore it hurts me too much to fight with you.” He wiped the rest of her tears away. He then started to tickle her.

           “You started it,” he smiled at her at she squirmed at his touch.

           She couldn’t help but to giggle, “No, I couldn’t have. Ahhh stop tickling me Haz.” She squealed still trying to get away from him.

           “Not till you admit that I am the best kisser in the universe,” he continued to tickle her. To make sure she couldn’t squirm out of his grasp he moved around to behind her and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

           “I…. I am not sure…...ahhh, if I can say that without a sample…. of said kisses,” Angela joked through her giggles.

           Harry stopped tickling her and turned her head so he could look her in eyes. With that knowing look in his eyes and a cocky smile on his face. “Oh, really now well I might just have to fix that for you.” He grabbed her hands and got up pulling her off the ground with him. He wrapped his arms around her waist.

He leaned into Angela and whispers in her ear, “I love you so much, Angel, that if you were no longer here with me, I would die. My precious love please never leave me.” His breath on her neck sent shivers down her spin. He raised one of his hands to her cheek and pulled her into a deep, passionate kiss. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him deeper into the kiss moving her lips along with his. He put his hands on her thighs and lifted her up. Angela wrapped her legs around his waist without breaking the kiss. He started carrying her back to their flat. He broke the kiss so he can climb the stairs to the front door without dropping her.

           She smiled, “Okay you are the best kisser in the entire universe, but now my question for you is who is a better kisser me or that slut?” Angela cocked her head towards the blonde driving away that she had caught Harry kissing with and arched eyebrow.

           Harry looked away and acted like he had to consider it. The pissed look that appeared on her face made him laugh, “Ahaha, you should have just seen the look on your face. Do you really think that I would ever have to consider that? It is you of course because no kiss could ever be as amazing as the way I feel when I kiss you.” Angela gave him a dirty look and stuck her tongue out at him.

           “You are always teasing me, but I still love you.” She smiled as Harry pushed her against the flat’s front door after they got inside.

           “That is because you are so gullible you make it very easy.” He smiled starts to kiss on her neck. “When exactly are we going on this vacation?”

           “Next week on Tuesday.” Angela bit her lip to keep from shivering at his kisses.

           “I love you so much, Angel.” Harry whispered against her collar bone.

           She looked down at him, “I love you too, more than you could ever imagine.” He straightened up and gave her a deep passionate kiss. “Mm, it’s going to be a long night.” Angela moaned as Harry’s lips left her own and started to trail down her jaw.

A Day at the Beach

Kaitlin and Jocelyn drove up to the set of ‘What Makes You Beautiful’. They had promised their boyfriends that they would come to the set and see them since they were all in the same city. As the girls pulled up, they saw the boys sitting in a semi-circle singing Wonder Wall by Oasis. They got out of the car and leaned against the hood. The girls always enjoyed when the boys performed, but they stayed back because someone was recording it. Once the boys were done singing Jocelyn and Kaitlin started to walk towards them. All the sudden Kaitlin turned around and started heading back to the car, “Oh crap I left something in your car, Jocelyn. Can you give your keys so I can grab it?”

“Sure, Princess, here you go,” Jocelyn tossed Kaitlin her keys and walked the rest of the way over to the boys.

           “Hello there, gentlemen” She said as she gave Zayn a kiss on the cheek then leaned over to kiss Liam’s cheek as well.

           “Hello Love” Liam and Niall said in unison.

           “Hello babe” Zayn smiled at Jocelyn.

           “JOCE, YOU ARE FINALLY HERE!  THE FUN HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN,” Louis yelled as she walked over to kiss him on the cheek

           “Yes, I am here Louis, and it is nice to see you too,” she laughed and kissed Niall on the cheek before sitting down on Harry’s lap.

           Harry pouted, “Ouch, no kiss for me.” Jocelyn rolled her eyes and gave Harry a quick peck on the cheek. “Hmmm, that’s not good enough” he responded, and grabbed her cheek to give her a deep, sweet kiss on the lips causing her to blush bright red. “How is my beautiful girlfriend doing today?”

           “Much better now that I am here with you,” She smiled brightly at him. Kaitlin walked up and sat on Zayn’s lap. She gave him a sweet, long kiss.

           “First of all, vomit. Seriously guys get a room. Secondly, I see how it is Kaitlin I don’t get any love from you. Jocelyn was nice enough to kiss us on the cheek before turning her full attention to Harry!” Lou exclaimed with a fake pout on his face in an attempt to make Kaitlin feel bad. And of course, it worked because Kaitlin was always such a push-over when it came to them giving her the pouty face.

           “I am sorry Lou Lou I didn’t mean to forget you,” she stood up from her position on Zayn’s lap and he whined. She walked over to where Louis was laying in the sand, leaned over, and kissed him on the cheek. When she looked up, all the rest of the boys and Jocelyn were now also doing pouty faces because she gave Louis a kiss and not them. She started to laugh and rolled her eyes as she went around the circle to give all the boys kisses on the cheeks but shoved Jocelyn’s face away. “I see you every day. I don’t need to give you anymore love than I already do.” She laughed and sat back down on Zayn’s lap. Jocelyn stuck her tongue out at her, but was turned around so Harry could give her another kiss instead. Kaitlin then gave Zayn another sweet kiss on the lips. The boys started to sing again. Jocelyn laid her chin on Harry’s shoulder while he sang, looked past him towards the ocean. This time they sang one of their own songs. Harry kept changing some of the lyrics trying to be funny, but the only person who was laughing was Kaitlin because she laughed at everything. After the boys’ finished singing Kaitlin leaned down and whispered something into Zayn’s ear.

           Louis hollered, “HEY NO SECRETS! TELL US ALL WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ZAYN!”

           Kaitlin blushed and looked at the ground. She replied, “I was just telling him I have a present for him.”

           Zayn squeezed her tightly and gave Louis a dirty look for embarrassing his girl, “What did you get me, boo.” Kaitlin pulled out a bracelet from her pocket with a simple chain and a tag that looked like it was engraved. Zayn read the engraving and smiled brightly, “I love it boobear, it is perfect. I will wear it all the time!”

           “What does the tag say?” Liam looked up at Zayn.

           “It says ‘I will ride the roller coaster of life with you -Boobear’.”  Zayn answered, causing Kaitlin to blush again.

           “Aww that is sooooo sweet! I feel like I have a cavity now!” Louis exclaimed. Jocelyn kicked him in the leg and gave him a dirty look for teasing Kaitlin.

           “Don’t listen to him, Princess. He is just jealous because you didn’t bring him anything.” She smiled at the younger girl before turning back and sticking her tongue out at Lou.

           Louis stuck his tongue out at Jocelyn and then pouted at Kaitlin, “It’s true why don’t I get a gift, too."

           "Oh, but Lou Lou I never said I didn’t bring you a gift as well. Joce and I brought a gift especially for you.” Kaitlin got a mischievous smile on her face then looked to her female friend. Jocelyn smiled back at her knowing exactly what she is referring to. She reached into her purse and pulled out a bottle. “I hope you like it, Louis! We knew it would be the perfect scent just for you!” Kaitlin exclaimed as Jocelyn handed Louis the bottle.

           “Smell it Lou!” Jocelyn and Kaitlin started to stand from their boyfriend’s laps. Louis gave them an untrusting look but opened the bottle anyway. He smelled it and was so surprised by the scent that he dropped the bottle spilling some of its continents out on himself.

           “You girls are going to get it, now. I smell like rotten eggs” Louis yelled loudly as Kaitlin and Jocelyn make a run for it, as far from him as they could get, as fast as they could run. “That’s right you better run.” he started to chase them down. Harry and Zayn stood up and started chasing Louis in an attempt to protect their girlfriends from their friend’s wrath. Louis caught up with Jocelyn first and threw her over his shoulder. She squealed in surprise and Louis turned to walk towards the water.

           “No Lou Lou, please don’t! I am sorry. Please, anything but that. I promise I will behave just don’t drop me in the water,” Jocelyn begged loudly as she struggled in his hold. By that point Zayn had already caught Kaitlin and was taking her safely back to their seat. Once they realized what Louis was about to do however everyone was on their feet running towards them. Harry was the closest, but he couldn’t quite keep up with Louis. They all started yelling at him telling him to bring Jocelyn back to shore and put her down safely. Louis ignored all of them and once he was in water up to his chest, he threw her roughly off his shoulder into the water. As she hit the water, she knew it was too late to cover her nose. Being the type of person who can’t go underwater without holding her nose, the water starts to fill Jocelyn’s lungs as habitually took in a deep breath. She couldn’t tell the difference between up and down and kept trying to make her way to the surface. Within minutes of being tossed into the water, Jocelyn could feel arms around her picking her up bridal style. Harry was carrying her back to the beach and away from the water. She coughed feeling her throat and lungs burning from the water that had made its way into her body. Harry laid her down on the sand and she turned on her side continuing to cough. Niall and Kaitlin were at Jocelyn’s side in an instant one rubbing her back gently and the other gently stroking her now drenched hair.

           Harry turned after setting her down and started to yell at Louis, “Are you crazy? You could have killed her? Why didn’t you stop when we were all yelling at you? She begged you not to throw her in. Why did you do it?” He started to quickly approach Louis, his voice getting louder and louder with every question. Zayn stood between Harry and Louis making sure the former didn’t punch the latter.

“You know she can’t go under water without holding her nose! What were you thinking just throwing her in there like that?” Liam gave him the Daddy Direction voice. He turned to look at Louis from behind Jocelyn.

           Louis looked at her distraught, “I am so sorry Joce, I completely forgot. Please Harry, Liam I am sorry, I wasn’t thinking.”

           “That’s the problem Louis you weren’t thinking! You have to think before you act especially when it comes to dealing with the girl, I love more than anything else in this world!” Harry exclaimed. Everyone went quiet. This was the first time Harry had ever said he loved Jocelyn. It’s not the way she would have preferred to hear him declare his love for her for the first time, but it was still genuinely sweet. Harry turned around and came over to Jocelyn with worry written all over his face.

           “Do you really love me Harry?” She asked sitting up from where she had been laying on the beach.

           “With all my heart babe!” He said with a heart melting smile.

           “I love you, too!” Jocelyn smiled brightly. He crouched down next to her and took her face in between his hands. He put his head gently against hers and closed his eyes.

“Are you feeling better now, babe?” he asked in a gentle voice. Jocelyn nodded her head and Harry pulled her into another sweet kiss! Everyone started to cheer.

After they pulled out of the kiss, Louis carefully came over worried Harry would attack him and hugged her gently, “I am sorry Joce. I am so so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I would never hurt you on purpose you know, that right? I am sorry. I am so sorry…” Louis repeated over and over again as his voice started to crack. Jocelyn leaned back from his hug and saw unshed tears in his eye.

Using her thumb, she wiped the one tear away that decided to finally fall out of his eyes, “I forgive you, Lou Lou. I know you didn’t mean to hurt me” She smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

           Louis put his forehead against Jocelyn’s temple and whispered in her ear, “How could I want to hurt my beautiful big sister.” The fact that Louis considered her a sister made her so happy that she attacked him with a giant hug knocking both of them over.

“Hey, I don’t forgive you just yet!” Harry and Kaitlin exclaimed at the same time, the latter trying to smack Louis repeatedly because she was still angry, he almost killed her best friend. Liam came over with a water bottle for Jocelyn and she looked around to see everyone keeping an eye on her making sure she was ok. A smile spread across her face because she realized how lucky she was to be loved by all the people surrounding her. The rest of the day was spent singing, swimming, (some wrestling on Louis and Harry’s part because he ‘deserved to be punished’) and Kaitlin and Jocelyn spending time with their boys.

The Accident

Anna and Liam had been best friends since grade school, and when he auditioned for X Factor, she supported and cheered him on. When he got put together with the other boys to make their band One Direction, he wanted them to meet his best friend. Liam later introduced Anna to his girlfriend Danielle and the two instantly clicked as friends. While the guys were out on tour Danielle, Eleanor, and Anna would go out shopping, clubbing, to dinner, or just hang out and have a girl’s night at one of their apartments. They were the best of friends. It had been 2 years since Anna had become friends with everyone and through that time, she had started getting remarkably close with Niall. The more she and Niall talked with each other the more Anna realized she was falling for the boy and falling hard. They had so much in common and enjoyed just hanging out watching soccer matches while she read on her books with her head in his lap. She was never much into sports, but she enjoyed being with him while he watched the match all the same.

One day Anna was sitting in her flat incredibly bored. She knew the boys had the day off from recording their next album, but she figured Liam would be out with Danielle and Niall would be sleeping in. The other boys had already told her they were busy with their families so they couldn’t hang out.  Anna didn’t want to call and wake Niall up because she knew they get a lot less sleep when they are on the road and working, so she decided to have a movie day and lounge around her living room. While she was in the middle watching the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse her phone started to go off. Anna picked it up seeing that it was Harry, “Well hello there, Harold.” After receiving only silence from the other end of the line she spoke again, “Harry, are you there? Hello?”

“Um yea, Anna, I am here. Something’s has happened though” She hears Harry sniff a little and she can tell that he has been crying. Anna continued to wait for him to finish explaining worried that saying anything would just make him cry again and then he wouldn’t be able to tell her what was going on. Harry finally calms enough to start to talk again, “It’s about Liam, Anna. Him and Danielle were in a horrible accident. You need to get here to the hospital as fast as you can Please drive safely though or better yet take a cab. Liam is going to need you here when he wakes up. We all need you.” She hears Harry sob again.

“Is he alright Harry? I am leaving my flat right now.” Anna grabbed her keys, purse and jacket before walking out the door of her apartment.

“Just get here as soon as you can please, Anna. We will explain everything we know when you get here.” Harry then hangs up before she can ask any more questions. Anna is about to jump in her car but realizes she probably wouldn’t drive safely in her panicked state and walks to the curb to hail a cab. Once on pulls up she realizes she forgot to ask Harry which hospital, just as she was about to call him back however a text message from Niall appears on her screen with the name of the hospital they are at. The whole way to the hospital Anna couldn’t stop worrying about what had happened. Harry had been so uninformative that she didn’t even know if Danielle and Liam were okay. She didn’t understand how Liam could have been in an accident he is usually such a safe driver especially when he has someone, he loves in the car with him.

As the cab pulled up in front of the hospital, she hands the driver some cash telling him to keep the change. She decided to text Niall, who seems to have so far been the most informative person to talk to her, even if not directly. Niall, I just got here which floor are you guys on – Anna. She hit send as she ran past the sliding doors and towards the elevator. It took about 2 minutes for the elevator to get back to the ground floor but as the doors opened, she heard her phone notification go off and checked her text as she walked into the elevator. We are on the third floor, Anna – Niall xoxo. She pushed the number three on the elevator and started to bounce impatiently to get to the floor. As she stepped out of the elevator, she looked around but almost instantly her eyes are attracted to Harry sitting outside one of the rooms. Anna could Harry had been crying a lot as she walked over to their small group of friends. Not quite sure why he is crying her knees start to buckle a little, worried that something happened to Liam in the time it took her to get here. She held herself up using the bar that ran the length of the wall hoping he is just upset about the fact Liam is in the hospital. Harry turns towards the sound of footsteps and saw Anna and came running to her. He wrapped her up in a hug immediately. Anna guessed the other three boys saw Harry take off running because the next thing she knew she was surrounded by the four crying boys. She just let them all group hug around her for a bit, letting them calm down so that they could explain what was going on. Finally, Harry pulled away from Anna and looked at her confused face.

“Harry, what is going on? Is Liam and Danielle okay? Can we see them? Why are you all crying?” She felt like she was begging at this point, but she needed to know what was going on before she went crazy. A pair of arms wrapped around her waist and guided her down the hall to where they had been sitting just minutes before. All the boys are followed closely and once outside of the room Harry took her out of the other person’s arms. He tried to help her into one of the chairs that lined the hall, but she refused to sit down.

“You might want to sit down first, Sweetie.” Harry tried again to help her sit on the chair.

“No Harry just tell me what happened. You guys are all scaring me.” Anna looked around at all their faces but the only one willing to look her in the eyes seemed to be Niall. In his eyes she saw pain and heartbreak and she didn’t know why but it made her heart ache.

“Liam and Danielle were hit by a drunk driver while on their way home from dinner. The damage to both cars was Extensive.” She looked back to Harry when he spoke again. “The drunk driver bled out before they could get him to the hos...”

Anna cut him off mid-sentence before he could continue, “Harry, I don’t get a flying rat’s ass about the guy who hit Liam and Danielle. I know that is horrible to say, but he was drunk and shouldn’t have been driving. He caused the crash that involved two of my best friends, so please if you don’t mind Harry, stop beating around the bush and tell me how Danielle and Liam are.” Her voice got louder the more she said, and it wasn’t till Niall stepped forward again and took her hand that she realized she was getting too loud. Anna looked at him and could see he is on the verge of crying again.

“Babe, Liam is unconscious in that room, and…” Niall tried to take over, but got choked up before he could finish. She started to turn to go into the room with Liam until she felt three other hands grab her arm and pulled her back. Louis successfully pushed her into the chair outside of the door. Niall sat down next to her never letting go of her hand. Anna had a feeling she knew what they were about to say, but she didn’t know if she was ready to hear it. Zayn sat down on the on other side of her and took her free hand.

“Before you go in there you need to know that,” Zayn took a deep breath. Niall was already in tears again. “Danielle didn’t make it, Anna. She was already gone when the ambulance got there. They tried to revive her, but it was too late.” Before Zayn even finished talking tears started to fall out of Anna’s eyes. She felt an arm wrap around her waist pulling her toward his chest. She wasn’t sure which boy it was though because with Zayn’s words she seemed to lose all sense of reality. Harry and Louis kneeled down in front of her. Harry gently brushed her hair out of her face and Louis rubbed her arm up and down like he was trying to warm her up. Anna thought about all time she had spent with Danielle, she remembered Danny’s wonderful smile, the way she made Liam light up just by walking into the room, and lastly Anna thought about how her best friend just lost the love of his life.

Then Anna realized that Liam isn’t awake and when she regained some breath through her sobs she asked, “has Liam woken up at all since the accident? Does he know about Dani? How bad is he anyway?” She tried to calm down her tears. Anna knew she would have to put on a brave face for her best friend, who is still unconscious in the other room.

“No, he hasn’t woken up yet and has no clue that Danielle is gone. That is why we called you because we knew he would need you beside him to help him get through this. We all need you. He has a few broken bones, stitches, small cuts, and bruises. Besides that, he is fine, he was the least injured in the accident, but the emergency people think that is because the car ran straight into the passenger side of their car.” Louis answered. Anna looked up at Louis because this is the first time he had spoken since she walked in. She leaned forward to him and wrapped him in a hug tightly. She started crying against his shoulder. Louis pulled her into his lap and just held her. Out of all the boys Louis had become like an older brother to her. He had always been there for Anna when she needed someone to lean on. She felt him kiss her temple and leaned back to look at him.

“Does El know about Dani yet?” she asked Louis once she had finally calmed down again.

“Yea I called her and told her what happened, but she isn’t in town right now, but is trying her hardest to get back as soon as she can.” Louis responded.

“How is she holding up?” Anna worried about all her friends and realized that with this tragedy even though she was sad and suffering she would have to be the rock for them all.

“She is pretty torn up about it to be honest.” Louis started to tear up. Anna reached up and wiped the tears from his face and grabbed his hand tightly. She stood up, pulling Louis along with her. She gave all the boys hugs and kissed their cheeks. Anna proceeded into Liam’s hospital room and saw him there looking like he was just napping. A tear streamed down her face as she touched his cheek. She wondered how she was going to tell him that the girl he loved more than anything else in the world was no longer with them.

“I guess we just sit here and wait for him to wake up then. Don’t worry I will tell him about Danielle. It is probably best if he hears it from me.” Anna sat down on the middle seat of one of the couches in the room. Harry and Niall sat on either side of her while, Louis and Zayn took the other couch.

Hours passed by and the boys slowly started to fall asleep around Anna. First Zayn fell asleep and fell over into Louis’s lap. Niall laid his head on her shoulder crying. Anna gave him a kiss on the crown of his head and squeezed his hand, which he had taken in his the moment he sat down. She started to hum some songs hoping to calm the boys down and finally Niall fell asleep against her shoulder. Louis also fell asleep to her humming, with his head leaned back against the back of the couch and one arm protectively over Zayn like he was scared something might happen to him if he let go. It is just Anna and Harry left awake and she can tell Harry’s mind won’t give him a break long enough to sleep. “Harry, sweetheart, lay your head on my lap so I can play with your hair. I know it helps calm you down when I do that, plus I love to play with your hair so much.” She told him with a gentle smile on her face.

“How could you tell I couldn’t calm down?” Harry asked as he laid his head in her lap.

“Harry, I have known you boys for 2 years, I can tell when there is something wrong or on your guys minds. Plus, I think I am probably one of the only girls that you all know who knows how to calm each of you down when you are upset or over thinking things.” Anna whispered trying not to wake Niall up.

“I knew there was a reason I called you.” he tried to joke, letting out a quiet slightly pained laugh. Anna began to play with his hair while continuing to hum random songs. After about half an hour Harry finally fell asleep in her lap. She was left there awake, with five sleeping boys surrounding her, to think and wait patiently for Liam to wake up.

Anna wanted Liam to wake up because she wanted to be sure he wasn’t going to die. She doesn’t think she could handle losing two friends in one day, especially not the one guy who has been in her life since grade school. Then again Anna didn’t want Liam to wake up because she had no clue how she was going to tell him about Dani’s death. She didn’t know how he was going to take the information, and she worried about how well she was going to be able to hold up while telling him. Anna was already having a hard time keeping herself from crying to much with all the boys asleep because she didn’t want her sobbing to wake Niall. She didn’t want her tears to accidently land on Harry’s face and wake him as well. Also, she knew if she woke either of them up, they would wake all the other boys to try to help calm her down again. Anna had to stay strong for the boys, for Eleanor when she got there, and most importantly for Liam who would wake up at any moment.

Hours went by while she continued to sit there thinking. All the boys would occasionally move around in their sleep. None of this distracted her from her thoughts until she realized the one who was moving this time was Liam. “Liam!” Anna stood up gently moving Harry and Niall off your lap and shoulder. They all woke up when they heard her say Liam’s name and now, they were all surrounding his bed. Anna sat in the chair right next to Liam’s bed and grabbed his hand in hers. Liam looked around at everyone with a confused look on his face.

“Where am I?” Liam asked when his eyes finally found Anna’s face. All the boys turned to look at her waiting for her to explain. Niall came over and stood next to Anna, sliding his hand into her free one for support.

“Li, babe, you are in the hospital.” She told him in a weak voice.

“What happened? The last thing I remember I was driving somewhere.” he squeezed her hand a little.

“A drunk driver ran into your car Liam. And you are pretty banged up from the impact.” Anna responded figuring it would be best to answer his questions than just coming out and telling him about Dani.

“What about Danielle she was in the car? Where is she? Is she alright? When can I see her?” Liam started panic. Anna looked away from Liam’s face because she couldn’t look him in the eyes when she told him about Danielle. Instead she looked down at their hands.

“Liam, baby boy, Dani didn’t make it after the accident. She was gone before the paramedics could get there. They tried to revive her to the best of their abilities, but she was already….. I am soo sorry sweetie.” she finally told him after three minutes of hesitation. Liam let go of her hand not believing her and looked around at all the boys. Niall had started crying again, Anna pulled their intertwined hands up and kissed his hand. Harry had a few tears coming from his eyes, and Louis and Zayn just stared at him with sad faces.

“No, Anna tell me your joking, tell me what you just said isn’t true, tell me Dani is in another room, or that she is about to walk in here and be like got you babe.” Liam started to cry. This time she looked at him, tears streaming down her face.

“I wish I could, Liam! I really wish I could, but that would be a lie and you know how much I hate lying to you. I am so sorry Liam.” She sat on the edge of his bed and wrapped her arms around him. “If I could change it I would, but she is gone. I’m sorry, I am so so sorry. Sweetie!” Anna choked back tears and Liam just broke down in her arms.

“No, no lord, why? Why did you take my Danielle from me? Why didn’t you take me? Why? Oh God why?” Liam began to repeat this over and over again.

“Scoot over, Li!” Anna pulled away from him. When he did, she laid down on the bed next to him and pulled him into her arms again. Liam cried into her chest, just bawling his eyes out while he continued to repeat himself. Anna held him tightly, holding back her own tears she started to quietly sing I’ll Stand by You. About Halfway through Harry and Zayn join in on singing along. Niall sat down in the chair next to the bed and grabbed Anna’s hand, occasionally giving it a little kiss trying to help give her a bit of strength.

“Liam, I know this is probably really hard for you right now, because you loved her more than anything else in this world. You might even be blaming yourself for what happened, but it isn’t your fault. A stupid drunk driver did this, not you.” Anna started to say after she finished singing. “I just want you to know that the boys and I are here for you no matter what you need. I know you wish you had died in that car accident with Dani, but Li I honestly don’t think I would have been able to live through two of my friends dying, especially if one of the ones I lost was you. I guess what I am trying to say is if you ever feel like doing anything crazy or reckless please don’t. For one, I might die if I didn’t have my best friend around.” She felt Niall squeeze her hand when she said that. “You were there for me when my father never was and were always like a brother to me seeing as I never had any siblings.

“I also know Danielle would never want you to take your own life because she is gone. She loved you Liam with all her heart, and she would want you to continue to live on and follow your dreams in life. Liam, I know it hurts a lot now, but a part of your heart will always belong to Danielle and she knows that. She will probably watch over you for the rest of your life, and cheer for you through the good times, and cry with you through the tough times. I know she would want you to move on with life though. Never forget her, but don’t give up on life because you lost her. I know I am probably just rambling right now, but this is the only way I can describe to you how I feel and know that you will eventually come out from this dark time in life.” Anna felt the tears streaming down her face. Liam had finally calmed down a little long enough for her to get all of that out. Niall reached up with his free hand and wiped her tears away.

“Anna, I would never take my own life knowing that I would be leaving you here alone.” Liam pulled away from her to look her in the eyes.  “You are my best friend, and I know that you are right that Dani would want me to move on with life, but for now can I just be sad. I was going to propose to her next month. Some stupid drunk driver took that chance away from me and I just want cry. I promise you though that I will never leave you” he helped Niall wipe her tears away while making his promise.

“Cry all you want to; I am not moving from this spot. I am sure Dani would have said yes, Liam. She genuinely loved you. I never saw either of you light up as much as you guys did when the other was around.” Anna tried to smile. Liam laid his head back down on her chest and continued to cry. She hugged him even tighter and Harry, Zayn, Louis, and Niall began to sing Moments. Once Liam had finally cried himself to sleep hours later, Anna began to truly cry herself. Louis, Zayn, and Harry had all already fallen back asleep as well, but Niall was still awake. He pulled her out of the bed with Liam and placed her in his lap. Just holding her while she cry. He knew Anna didn’t like people telling her it was going to be alright when she cried because she knew that it would eventually be but for that moment everything isn’t alright. So instead of saying anything he just held her, occasionally placing a kiss on her temple.

“I can’t imagine what Liam is going through. The girl that he loved and was going to propose to, is gone. His heart will forever be broken, and he can’t do anything to change it. I cannot imagine what it is like to lose the one you cherish so much in the world in one second.” Anna said continuing to cry into Niall’s chest.

“I sort of can, in a way imagine what he was going through.” Niall surprised her with his comment.

“How can you, Niall, you haven’t lost anyone that way? How could you possibly know or even imagine how he feels?” She looked up into his eyes.

“I can imagine how he feels, Anna, because after finding out what happened and crying over the loss of Danielle I started thinking. There is only one person in this whole world I care about as much as Liam cared about Dani. I know that if I lost her my whole world would flip upside down and no longer exist. That is when I started to cry the hardest and I knew I needed to see her face.” Niall confessed. “I needed to know that she was alright. I just needed to hold her in my arms and tell her how I felt. If I didn’t, I could lose her at any time and never get the chance to. Yeah I am a shy guy when it comes to telling a girl how I feel, but after this I realized how easy it is to lose the one you love before you get a chance to tell them how you feel. I just wanted to get over my fear of rejection and tell her. That is how I can imagine how Liam is feeling right now because I imagined myself in that hospital bed just having lost the one girl I can never seem to get out of my head, no matter where I am or who I am with.” Niall finished and gently stroked Anna’s hair.

“Niall I never realized you had a girl in your life that you loved so much. I thought we were friends why haven’t you ever told me? Who is it?” she pouted looking down at the wet spot she had created on his shirt with her tears.

“Anna, I never told you about the girl I loved so much because you are the girl I love. Anna, until this happened, I could never get up the courage to tell you my true feelings and I understand if you don’t feel the same way. After this I can understand if you are too scared to love anyone, but I had to tell you how I felt.” Niall gently lifted her chin to look at him and wiped her tears from her face. “I am scared that if I never told you I might lose you before I ever got the chance to. When I saw you in Harry’s arms when you first got here, I am not going to lie, I was a little happy because I saw your beautiful face. I knew you were safe. Anna, I love you with all of my heart and I don’t think I can or will ever love anyone more than I love you right now.” Niall said the whole time he looked into her eyes.

“Oh gosh Niall” Anna started to cry again. “I have waited for you to say something like that for a while now. I honestly thought it would be the happiest day of my life because I love you too, Niall. The thing is that I honestly don’t know that I can smile or be happy about this right now because of all that is going on. I wish I could smile for you and show you just how much I love you, but right now I am just too sad.” she leaned her forehead against Niall’s letting her tears fall down her cheeks.

“Princess, I understand you can’t smile, and I wouldn’t ask you to right now. It is fine, just knowing that you feel the same way about me is all I need right now. Will you Anna Elaine Wright be my princess?” Niall nuzzled his nose against hers.

“Yes, Niall James Horan, I will be your princess forever!” Anna exclaimed. Niall smiled a sad little smile and wiped the tears off her face. He then grabbed Anna’s cheek and pulled her into a deep, sweet kiss. They only separate when they heard Liam start to talk.

“It is about time you two got together.” He said with an incredibly sad smile on his face.

“Oh crap Liam if I had known you were awake..” Anna stood up from Niall’s lap to move closer to the bed.

“No, Anna, it is fine. I have been waiting for one of you two to speak up for some time now. If for now I can only find happiness through my friends, then that is better than feeling no happiness at all.” Liam interrupted her. Anna grabbed his hand and kissed his forehead gently. That is when she realized that all the other boys are awake and smiling cheekily at her and Niall.

“Guys since you are all awake how about instead of staring at me like that, you guys actually get off you butts and figure out when we can get Liam out of this hospital.” She stated sarcastically. The boys all laugh a little even Liam. It is a sad laugh but at least it is a laugh.

“I am on it. Mainly because Niall is a little busy keeping you company after all.” Harry said cheekily winking at Niall. Everyone lets out another little laugh, as Niall gives him a dirty look and pulls Anna back into his lap.

“I will figure out what Dani’s parents plan to do about her funeral and all.” Zayn said bringing the room down a little though everyone knew it needed to happen.

The next day the doctors saw that Liam was fit enough to leave the hospital, and then three days later it was the day of Danielle’s funeral. Anna talked to her parents and they agreed that Dani would have definitely said yes to marrying Liam. So, with their permission, Liam put the engagement ring on Dani’s finger. At the funeral Anna and Liam were asked to get up and say a few words about Danielle. Anna went up first and stood behind the podium.

“Danielle and I only knew each other for close to two years, but the moment my best friend introduced us to each other, it was like we had been best friends or even sisters all our lives. She was the sweetest, most honest, most caring girl I had ever met. To add to all that, she also made Liam light up when she walked in the room. She took care of him, she loved him, and she made him smile brighter than I had ever seen him smile. Liam and I have been best friends since childhood, he was the only man in my life, and is always there for me when I need him the most. To see him as happy as he was with her, made me happy because all I have ever wished for my best friend was happiness and success. She had successfully won over Liam’s heart and my approval and friendship.” Anna choked up a little and she saw Liam crying.

She could tell Niall was wishing he were up there holding her hand, but she had to get through this alone. “She was an amazing girl and will always be in my heart and have a part of Liam’s heart forever with her. Liam was going to propose to her a month from the day of their accident and when I discussed it with her parents, we all agreed she would have said yes. Since we all agreed, they gave Liam permission to put the ring he had bought her on her finger. So that way she will always remember the love Liam will always have for her. That is all I can really think to say about how wonderful Dani was, but now it is Liam’s turn.” Anna finished. Liam stood up and came up to the podium. He gave her a hug and she whispered into his ear, “Do you need me to stay up here with you?”

“No, I won’t take long, and I know you will be down there to comfort me when I am done.” He whispered back. He then turned to the podium as Anna walked back to her seat. She grabbed Niall’s hand and leaned your head against his shoulder. He kissed her forehead and cheek. Louis reached across the empty space between them where Liam had been sitting and rubbed her arm a little to comfort her. Anna turned and gently smiled at him in thanks for his comfort. On his other side was Eleanor and Harry, then Zayn was on the other side of Niall. Eleanor was crying into Louis’s shoulder and Harry was crying into his hands, while Zayn and Louis were being as strong as they could to keep from crying. They all looked up to Liam showing that they were here for him in his time of need.

“When I first met Dani, it was when she was a dancer on the X Factor, and she was doing the backup dancing while my group One Direction sang. I don’t remember exactly what it was that attracted me to her, but ever since that day, every day I fell more and more in love with her.” Liam choked a little bit, but continued, “I fell in love with everything about her, from her personality to her beauty, from her responsible side to her goofy nonsensical side. I loved her for who she was and how she was. She like my friend Anna previously stated Danielle brighten up my world whenever she walked in the room. I will always love her no matter how much time goes on, no matter what I am doing, who I am with, where I am at she will always have a place in my heart and I will never forget all the love she gave me.” He choked up again, but so far shed no tears, “Thank you to Anna and Danielle’s parent for allowing me putting my engagement ring on her finger that way when I see her again she will know how much I truly loved her. I don’t think I can say any more about her because I don’t think I can hold back my tears much longer but I just want to say one last thing. Dani thank you so much for loving me, your love was the best thing that ever happened in my life. I love you,” Finally he started to walk away from the podium and then the tears began streaming down Liam’s face. By that point in time even Zayn and Louis are crying. Anna stood up and walked up to Liam grabbing his hand. He wrapped his arms around her neck and just began to bawl into her shoulder as she walked him most of the way back to his seat. Before he got all the way back though he collapsed to the ground pulling her along with him. Anna sat down next to him and held him. Niall and Zayn came over after a couple of minutes and helped him up and back to his seat. Anna got up and walked back to her seat next to him. Liam leaned against her shoulder and just cried while she held him. Anna hated to see her best friend this way and began to wonder if there was ever going to be any light in his life ever again.

As everyone was leaving the burial site Niall grabbed Anna’s hand and stopped her, “I know this is hard for you and this probably isn’t the place to do this. But I need you to know the life will one day come back into his eyes and he will smile again. I want you to smile right now though and I can only think of one thing that will cause you to smile.” He leaned in and kissed her passionately. She give him a faint smile when he pulled away. They walked over to Liam who was giving them a faint smile as well. Anna grabbed her two favorite men’s hands and left the graveyard. At the dinner after the funeral the boys sang Moments as a memory of Danielle and Liam’s love for each other.

After it is all over everyone goes back to Liam’s flat for a slumber party to try to cheer him up a little bit and so he isn’t alone after all that. He fell asleep to Anna singing Smile by Charlie Chaplin. Once he was asleep she left to go in the spare bedroom to check on Harry, Zayn, and Louis who after the long past couple of days were fast asleep in the bed. Anna walked into the living where Niall was waiting for her. “How are you holding up, Princess?” he asked as soon as he saw her.

“I have been better, but I have been worse as well!” Anna smiled a little sleepily.

“How are our boys?” Niall laughed pulling her into his arms.

“They are all fast asleep, and may I just say I love how you said that like they are our children.”  she giggled. Anna then realized what she was doing and frowned looking at the ground.

“What’s wrong, Princess?” Niall worried when he saw her go from a smile to a frown in seconds.

“It’s just that we just buried a close friend of ours today and yet I am smiling and giggling.” She answered sadly.

“Anna, I know that it hurts right now, but Dani wouldn’t want you to be sad. She used to tell us how much more beautiful she thought you were when you smiled. Smiling isn’t hurting anyone, Princess. Yes, I know it is hard to do right now, but it will become easier with time I promise. Never feel ashamed for smiling especially because you feel like you should be sad over Dani’s death. Your smile was Dani’s favorite thing about you.” Niall pulled Anna closer to him and held her tightly. His head was leaning against hers.

“I know you are right, babe. It is just going to take me a while to get used to it again.” She pouted. Niall grabbed her legs and spun her around to face him. He then pulled her in for another kiss. This time their kiss lasts a lot longer. When she finally pulled away neither of the were breathing normally. Anna laid down in his arms on the couch and Niall sings her to sleep. They spend the night in each other’s arms.

Boys, no matter what band or country they are from.

Waiting Forever is Nothing

“Jocelyn, dear, here let me help you with your veil.” her mother, Janet said when she saw her struggling to put the veil on. Today was Jocelyn’s wedding day and she was marrying the man of her dreams, Harry Styles. Her best friend was standing next to her helping Jocelyn’s mother pin her veil into her hair. When they were done, she turned to look at herself in the mirror in awe.

“You look so beautiful, Joce!” Anna exclaimed. Jocelyn smiled at her with tears in her eyes, and Anna helped her wipe them away without messing up her make up.

“I will go tell everyone you are ready,” Janet said before leaving the room.

“And I will go get the boys ready. We all know they probably aren’t done and are in a little need of a woman’s helping hand.” Anna laughs and walks out of the room behind Janet through the door. Jocelyn was left in the room by herself and she just stared at her beautiful reflection in the mirror. All the sudden she heard the door open again behind her.

Without turning around, she joked, “I thought you went to go help the boys finish getting ready” thinking that Anna had come back into the room.

“Now why would I help any guy, or his friends get ready for a wedding to the woman I love,” responded a familiar voice. Jocelyn stiffened at once and turned around slowly to see her crazy ex-boyfriend standing just inside the door with a gun in his hand.

“What are you doing here, Derek? And why do you have that gun?” Jocelyn was starting to get very scared.

“Why do you think, JoJo? I am here to make sure no one else can have you. You left me for a good for nothing boy band member, and I was the best thing you ever had. You were my life I will never let you go, and I sure as hell will not let you marry that scum bag. So, if I can’t have you no one can!” his voice got louder in the small bridal suite.

“The best thing I ever had?! You beat me almost every night, you kept me away from my family and friends, and you told me I was fat and ugly every chance you got. How in the hell is that the best thing for me?” Jocelyn exclaimed surprised by his proclamation. “Harry treats me with respect, he reminds me every day that I am beautiful, and he shows me that he loves me every day. Why, when I have all that would I ever go back to you?!” She could feel the tears starting to stream down her face. She couldn’t stand that a jerk like him would have the audacity to say such horrible things about Harry.

“Fine you just chose your own fate, and I hate to see you die but you have to now. I will never let you marry another man and live!” Derek pointed his gun at Jocelyn and pulled the trigger twice. She felt the bullets pierce through lower chest and stomach. Everything fades from Jocelyn’s vision as she blacks out. When she opened her eyes again it was to see Harry sitting next to her holding her upper body in his lap and crying. Off to the side Jocelyn could see Niall and Liam holding Derek to the ground as he was shouting something that she couldn’t quite make out. Zayn and Louis were trying to comfort Harry. Anna, Jocelyn’s mother, and her father were standing in the corner crying. She can’t quite remember why she is on the ground for a moment but then the pain in her stomach and chest remind her. All the sudden she heard Harry saying something in your ear.

“Please baby girl stay with me. I can’t lose you please wake up.” He whispered through his tears.

“Harry, don’t cry baby shh,” Jocelyn could barely get out before she felt more pain as Louis replaced the fabric on her wounds and reapplied pressure.

“Jocelyn! Oh my God you’re awake. Babe, stay awake please just stay awake, you will make it I know it. Please just stay with me!” Harry saw her eyes start to close again.

“Harry…I love you more than anything in the world…even if I am not here I will love you…..forever and always….” Jocelyn coughed out her words and blood started to come out of her mouth as she spoke. Harry started to cry harder because he knew that she was dying and he didn’t want to lose her, he loved her too much. By this point the only person in the room not crying is Louis. Though that was probably because he was trying to stay focused on keeping Jocelyn from bleeding out.

           “Joce! I don’t want to lose you, I love you, so much PLEASE JUST STAY WITH ME PLEASE!” Harry cried harder.

           “Harry sweetie, we both know I am not…. going to make it,” she cried and reached up to stroke his cheek, “When I get to the other side, I will wait for you no…matter how long it takes…... I will wait for you…...till the end of time if I have to.” Tears streamed down her face as she finished her sentence. Jocelyn’s eyes started to grow very heavy. Her breathing started to stutter, and it became harder and harder for her to inhale. She could tell she was about to leave, but she had to hear Harry’s voice and kiss his lips one last time before her life was over.

           “Please stay….” Harry begged again seeing her breathing become labored. “And if you can’t stay with me then please wait for me as long as you can. I love you now, tomorrow, next week, forever and always!” Harry said as calmly as he could, and he leaned in and gave Jocelyn one last kiss. His lips on hers was the last thing she remembered from the day she died.

_________________________________

Next thing Jocelyn knew she was in a completely white room. When she looked around her saw a woman walking toward her. Before she can say anything though, the woman smiled and took a seat next to her, “Hello sweetheart. Do you know where you are and what happened to you?”

           “I... I think that I am dead, but I have no clue where I am,” Jocelyn looked around the room, which looked like a mix between a hospital and an airport terminal.

           “Yes, you are right about being deceased Jocelyn. You are currently in a place which you would have probably called limbo when you were alive. Everyone ends up here after they die, and they stay here until it is their time to move on to the afterlife. You happen to be one of the lucky ones because we haven’t been too busy today, so you are going to be able to go straight to afterlife with no delays.” The woman had huge smile on her face.

           “Wait how is it that you know my name?” Jocelyn was a little freaked out and scooted away from the woman.

           “Oh well, that is an easy question to answer I am a greeter, and my name is Jamie” she stretched out her hand for Jocelyn to shake, “I stay here and greet all the newly deceased people who pass through here. Now come on sweetheart time to get you passed over.” Jamie said like it isn’t a big deal.

           “No, I can’t leave here yet I promised my fiancé, Harry, that I would wait for him. I won’t break my promise to him. I never have before, and I don’t plan on starting now!” Jocelyn was confused and didn’t want to leave.

           “Jocelyn, I would not recommend on going to the afterlife now. I have seen too many girls wait for their boyfriends and fiancés before and when the guy finally died, they either forgot all about the girl or moved on to another person that they loved more.” Jamie explained with a calm reserved smile. “I have been working here for about 500 years and I don’t really want to watch another girl get her heart broken. So, if you would just please follow me. I will help you pass over; it will be easier that way.” She gently tries to urge Jocelyn towards the door that leads to the afterlife.

           “I don’t care what happened to those girls in the past their boys were not Harry. Harry would never ever forget me. He said he would love me forever and always.” Jocelyn was yelling now. She was angry that the woman would actually think that Harry would ever forget her or stop loving her.

           “Jocelyn, I understand how you must feel, but it has happened every…” Jamie began.

           “You don’t know how I feel because you don’t know Harry. He would never do that to me, and I am not leaving till we can go to the afterlife together.” Jocelyn was determined to not move from her spot.

           “Okay then, I see you won’t listen to reason. I just hope that I won’t have to see your heart get broken like I have so many others.” Jamie gave up and walked away. The weird thing about this limbo was it was almost impossible to tell how fast or slow time went compared to the living world.

           One day Jocelyn was just sitting down reading a book, which Jamie had provided her with sometime back, when Jamie suddenly came running over to her. “Hey Joce, sweetheart, I don’t mean to bother you but we have a lot of deaths today and I thought that it would be a lot easier to get them all through faster if I had some help so do you mind giving me a hand with them.” She was freaking out. Her hair was jostled all over the place due to her continuously messing with it while stressed.

           Jocelyn looked at her cautiously, “as long as you promise not to send me to the afterlife without my permission, then I will help you.”

           “Honey, you can’t go to the afterlife until you yourself are ready. So, even if I wanted to do it I couldn’t.” Jamie smiled for the first time that day at how adorable Jocelyn’s paranoia was.

           “Okay then I can help you! Where do you need me to start?” she stood from her seat putting her book down. Jocelyn was excited to finally have something to do other than read books.

           “With that group over there if you don’t mind. Here is a clip board with their pictures and names on it. Do you know what to do?” Jamie became incredibly happy to have help.

           “I have been watching you do this for about fourteen years now Jamie, so yeah I think I have the hang of it,” Jocelyn laughed and took the clip board ready to go over to the group before Jamie grabbed her wrist to stop her.

           “Wait, how do you know how long you have been here?” she asked surprised

           “I am starting to get used to it. Especially when I have been asking the people who appear in the seats close to me what year it is when they pop up here!” Jocelyn winked at Jamie before pulling her wrist out of the others grasp and skipping away toward the group of people. From that day onward she would help Jamie with the greetings every day. And she even started to become enjoy to it.

           Years later Jocelyn was greeting an older woman, about the age of 46. “Hello, you must be Abigail Styles! My name is Jocelyn and I will be here to help you through everything. First, I must ask do you know where you are and what happened to you?” she asked the woman the usual questions, not even being phased by her the last name. There were a lot of people in the world with the last name Styles after all.

           “Yes, I died, and I guess I am in the afterlife?” Abby was almost questioning rather than stating.

           “Yes, I am sorry to say you are dead, but you are not in the afterlife quite yet. I am here to show you the way, though.” Jocelyn smiled at her as she reviewed her clipboard with all of Abigail’s information on it to make sure she lived a fulfilling life and was ready to move on.

           “Do I know you? You look so familiar to me” Abby tilted her head left and right as if that would get her a better view and memory of the woman in front of her.

           “I don’t think we have met, but with working here you never really know who you will run into from your past. Especially after being here for as many years as I have.” Jocelyn answered back looking up from her clip board.

           “From the past…From the past…” Abby toyed with the words for a minute then all the sudden her eyes lit up with realization. “your name isn’t Jocelyn Lyann Prince, is it?” she asked as she quickly realized who they girl looked like.

           Jocelyn looked at her in amazement she had seen a lot of people pass through here that she knew including her parents, but it has been so long since someone had said her full name, “Yes as a matter of fact I am, do I know you?” she looked at Abigail trying to remember where they might have met but she couldn’t remember her at all.

           “No, but you knew my husband. The only reason I recognized you was because he used to show me photos of you and him all the time. I would catch him looking through his memory books of you quite often.” Abigail smiled at the memories. As soon as she said that however, Jocelyn knew exactly who Abby’s husband was and her heart broke a little bit. All she could think was ‘Oh My God Jamie was right he moved on, he got over me and married someone new. I waited for him and yet he moved on from his love for me.’ Jocelyn continued to run through these thoughts while she sat down on the chair next to Harry’s deceased wife. She began to cry and all she could do was cry her eyes out. Jocelyn didn’t even know how to respond to Abigail. The latter saw her tears and grabbed her hands.

“Jocelyn, please stop crying dear. You have no reason to cry. He never stopped loving you. I know we were married and all, but I knew the day I met him someone else had his heart and I could never take it from her. I think we got married out of pure convenience and pressure from our parents. We even named our first daughter after you. It was his idea, but I knew how much he still loved you, so I agreed. Her name was Jocelyn Lily Styles, and she was just as beautiful as you.”

           “Did you just say her middle name was Lily?” Jocelyn inquired.

           “Yeah why does that name have any importance to you? I mean Harry chose the whole name. I agreed to it because I knew he needed some way of feeling connected to you still. He never really told me why he chose Lily for her middle name.” Abby seemed intrigued to finally find out the meaning behind their daughter’s middle name.

           “Harry used to call me his Lily Pad because he said I was as beautiful as the flower that bloomed on one, but still had the strength to support him like the leaf does a frog. He just made it up to be corny, but I thought it was so cute and sweet that the name always stuck.” Jocelyn smiled at the memory as tears of happiness fall from her eyes.

           “If I remember the story from day you died that the boys told me, you promised before you died that you would wait for him for as long as you had to. Is that what you are still doing here?” Abigail looked deeply into her eyes.

           “I never broke a promise to Harry while I was alive, and I don’t plan on breaking the last one I ever made to him before I died. I am so glad the boys are still in Harry’s life! How are they and the band what happened to it after I died?” Jocelyn excited asked as she stood and gestured for Abby to follow her.

           “The boys are great Louis, Liam, and Zayn married Eleanor, Danielle, and Perrie. And they have children. Then of course Niall surprised the boys by marrying your best friend, Anna. They also have children.” She looked at Jocelyn just in time to catch the smile on her face. During the reception Jocelyn had been planning to hook Niall up with Anna, but that time unfortunately never came. Abby continued, “The boys kept going at full force after you died, but I think that was mainly because Harry wanted to make sure you would be proud of him. They did take breaks to work on their own things occasionally, but they always came back together. Harry has definitely made sure that he will have a lot of stories to tell you when he finally departs from the land of the living and joins you here. For the last 9 years though, they stopped touring to spend more time with their families. Now that all their kids have graduated high school, they were planning a reunion tour!” She finished as they reached the door to the afterlife.

           “I am glad they all ended up happy! I miss them all so much this waiting is starting to kill me, and it has only been like 26 years.” Jocelyn looked down sadly. She never wished death upon any of them but she really wanted to see them again.

           “Keep holding in there, sweetheart because I promise you Harry will be happy to see you when he gets here!” Abby smiled giving Jocelyn a gentle hug, “I am so happy I got to meet the love of Harry’s life. Now I can see what he loved so much about you. That is why I am able to move on to the afterlife without him because I know you are waiting here for him.” She hugged Jocelyn again before finally walking through the Gate to the afterlife and with that Jocelyn knew she was meant to wait for Harry till the end of time itself if she had to.

           Years continued to pass as Jocelyn saw all her loved ones pass through the limbo area. It started with Liam, who died of kidney failure. He hugged her so tight that if she were living, she wouldn’t have been able to breath and kissed her on the cheek having missed her as much as she missed him. He had always been like a dad type figure to Jocelyn and Harry when he thought they were in danger or acting up. Then about 3 years later came Perrie, and of course not to long after Perrie was Zayn, who died they said of a broken heart, but it was really just of old age. Zayn gave Jocelyn a tighter hug than Liam. Zayn had been her best friend that she told everything to.

Louis followed a few years after Zayn and when he saw Jocelyn, he ran up and lifted her in the air spinning her around, while hugging her tightly. When he finally put down her, she gave her crazy friend a kiss on the cheek. Then they sat there and talked for hours. Louis decided to stay and wait for El. Half a year later Dani came through giving both Jocelyn and Louis a quick kiss on the cheek and then heading to the afterlife where she knew Liam would be waiting for her.  A year to the day of Louis’s death, Eleanor died because she truly did have a broken heart. Without Louis’ craziness in her life she had nothing left to live for, except the kids and they understood how much she missed him.

Together they went through the door to the afterlife, and it had been about 48 years since Abigail told Jocelyn to keep waiting because Harry still loved her. Though seeing all her old friends and still no Harry it became harder for her to keep her promise to wait. Of course, that was till about five years after Louis and Eleanor went through the door, when Niall and Anna died almost within the same day. Jocelyn squeezed them both as tight as she possibly could because Anna and Niall were like sister and brother to her. Half-way through the hug with Niall though Jocelyn finally broke down into tears about ready to give up on waiting for Harry.

           “I don’t think I can wait anymore, Niall, it is killing me as I watch all my family and friends move onto the afterlife, and I am just stuck here waiting. I feel like I have been here forever. I know I promised Harry and all, but you don’t realize how hard it is to watch you all leave me here.” she cried out not being able to hold her tears back anymore. Niall picked her up and sat her on his lap in a chair and Anna sat next to them rubbing Jocelyn’s back. The two of them just let her cry for a bit.

           When Jocelyn had finally calmed down Niall decided it was safe for him to speak, “Joce, Harry was by all of our death beds as we were dying. Maybe everyone else didn’t hear him but I heard him every time because we always went together. He would ask us to remind you how much he loved you if we saw you here. I heard him say it one last time before I passed.” Niall wiped away the tears still on her cheek. “He doesn’t want you to give up on him. He will join you one day but you just have to keep remembering that love you once had for him and the love he has always had for you, pumpkin!” He finished giving her waist a tight squeeze.

           “I have never stopped loving him and I never could he was my life, my protector, my friend, my lover, and my heart. It just has been getting harder the past few years with all of you passing through and still no Harry!” Jocelyn explained with a small pout.

           “I know pumpkin it has been hard on Harry too. Losing all of his friends and he continues to live not only without you but now without his brothers there to help him get through every day. There have been many times that he has wanted to end his life but didn’t because he knew how disappointed you would be in him. We all missed you but no one else’s missing or love for you could ever be as strong as Harry’s. Please just hold on for a little bit longer.” He whispered in her ear causing her to giggle when it tickled. “If you want Anna and me to wait with you, so you are not completely alone you know we will do it. We love you, Joce. I don’t want to see my little sister sad, especially since this is the first time I have seen you in almost 53 years...” He said and she looked at him.

With a shake her head she told him no. She knew it was his time to go to the afterlife and the fact that him and Anna died together like in the Notebook, she knew they loved each other and deserved to be in the paradise that is was through that door. They shouldn’t have to wait for her. After a couple more hours of talking to help calm Jocelyn down more, she led Niall and Anna to the door to the afterlife. Anna hugged her first and kissed her cheek one last time before stepping back so Niall could hug her as well. When Niall hugged her and he squeezed extra tight hoping some of his strength would help her make it through, like he used to when they were alive together and Jocelyn was in an upset and weak state. He kissed her cheek then laid his forehead on hers.

           “We will be waiting for you two on the other side of that door. All of us will, because I am sure with how many years, we have had to live without you the others are already waiting so we can make up for it all. So, stay strong pumpkin and I will see you soon.” He kissed Jocelyn one last time on the forehead then stepped back, took Anna’s hand and walked through the door to the afterlife!

           After that day Jocelyn told Jamie she couldn’t be a greeter anymore and she went back to reading the books Jamie brought her. One day she heard a disturbance coming from across the room and saw Jamie struggling with an elderly man. Jocelyn thought she would be nice and try to help Jamie out. She ran over to them and stepped in between the man and Jamie.

           “Excuse me sir, what is the problem?” Jacelyn asked trying to stop the fight before it got out of hand.

           “Lily Pad, is that you?” the elderly man asked staring into her eyes. She looked back into his and saw those beautiful emerald green eyes she loved and knew so well.

           “Harry, Oh my God Harry. But wait why do you look so old, the other boys turned young again when they got here?” she touched his face with a worried look on her’s. She turned to Jamie very confused.

           Jamie shook her head, “It happens sometimes, but no one is quite sure why!”

           “Harry, baby, are you okay? Why were you fighting with Jamie?” Jocelyn turned back to the elderly Harry. He looked at her and touched her cheek gently like he used to when they would cuddle in bed and he wanted a kiss. She almost pulled away from his touch, but then she remembered this is the man she loved more than anything in the world, the man she had planned to grow old with, and the man that she had waited in limbo all these years for. With tears in Jocelyn’s eyes at all the wonderful memories they had shared, she leaned in and kissed Harry like they had the day she died. It felt exactly the same and as she was kissing him, she felt him smile into the kiss. When Jocelyn pulled away, she kept her eyes closed remembering every sweet kiss they had ever shared. After a couple of seconds, she opened her eyes and see that Harry was back to the age had been on the day they were going to get married.

           “I was upset because I didn’t see you when I got here. At first, I thought you forgot about me and didn’t wait for me like you promised. So, I got really upset but then you came running over here and I knew I was just being stupid. You have never broken a promise to me!” he wrapped his arms around Jocelyn’s waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Oh my God Jocelyn, I have missed you so much. I never stopped loving you. Maybe the reason I still looked like I did the day I died, was because I thought all my years of living was for nothing if the love of my life wasn’t here waiting for me. Loving me.” he leaned his forehead against hers, “Then when I saw you and you didn’t recognize me, I was sad that you didn’t love me as an old man, but then you kissed me and I realized no matter how I looked or how long I made you wait you definitely loved me. I know I have said this already, but I love you Lily Pad. I love you so very, very much. Please, please, please never leave me again.” He finished his speech and kissed Jocelyn softly but deeply not wanting it end.

She finally pulled away, “Harry, you know I never break my promises. When I met your wife for the first time, I have to admit I thought about breaking my promise for a split second but only because you married someone else.” She began to tear up and Harry started to wipe them away, “Then she told me that you never genuinely loved her but had always loved me and how she understood the whole time. Then I knew our love could make it through till you found me again. Then when Niall and Anna came through and I broke down again because I had to watch all my friends pass over while I stayed here. Niall reminded me that I was waiting for a man who loved me dearly and that I loved just as much. He said that I could make it and he was right!” she pulled him closer to her as more tears fell.

“It feels so good to be in your arms again after all these years. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize you at first but then I saw your eyes Hazza. Of course, I still loved you no matter how you looked or how old you were. After all you were the guy, I was planning on growing old with anyway. It’s just that you actually made it to the old age part of life, and I stayed like this for all those years.” Jocelyn put her nose against his. “I love you so, so very much and I have missed you more than I missed living. I will never leave you again because without you I have nothing and I don’t think any of our friends could make me as happy as you always have and always will.” They kissed again and then Jocelyn turned to Jamie.

“You were right! All along you were right! And I am so sorry from doubting you in the beginning, but you were right!” Jamie said with tears in her eyes.

She grabbed Jamie’s hand, “What do you mean I was right? What is it I right about exactly?”

           “You were right about Harry’s love for you. You told me 76 years ago when you first passed away and showed up here that Harry would never, ever forget you or move on because he said he would love you forever and always. You were right he never forgot about you and never really moved on. This is the first time I have seen a love so pure and true. Thank you for that I was giving up on love after the past 576 years I have been working here. but you two and all of your friends that have come through here have shown me love does still exist in the horrible world of the living.” More tears fell down her face. Jocelyn wiped her tears away with her free hand and then pulled her into a hug.

           Once Jamie had calmed down Jocelyn pulled back and smiled at her. “You’re welcome because everyone should believe in love even if it is very seldom and exceedingly rare. It is out there. Thank you as well, Jamie!” she smiled even brighter this time and took both of Jamie’s hands in hers, “You helped me stay distracted while I was waiting, you helped all these years to pass by as normally as you possibly could. You were there for me when I needed to talk or cry. You became like a mother figure to me, while I was like a stubborn, love stricken, teenage daughter. Thank you for everything you have done for me, for my friends, and for everyone else that has and will come through here. It sucks that I have to leave you here alone now, but always remember that I love you like family.” Jocelyn hugged Jamie one last time and squeezed extra tight.

           “I love you too, dear. I will miss you, but I will be okay on my own. After all I had been doing it for 500 years before I met you. You were just the first girl that had this sort of effect on me the others were incredibly rude and snobby. You were sweet, kind, and very helpful when I needed it. You have waited 76 years for this day, now it is time for you to go through that door that you helped so many people through over the years. So, GO!” Jamie cheered. Jocelyn smiled and took Harry’s hand finally letting go of Jamie and walked toward the door. It opened up for her and she could finally see what she never got to see before, when she wasn’t ready. There on the other side of the door stood her parents, Harry’s parents and sister, Liam and Dani, Zayn and Perrie, Louis and El, and Niall and Anna. All of them stood there with smiles on their faces, waiting for Jocelyn and Harry to come join them. She took one last look back at Jamie and who had tears running down her face, but she was still smiling. Jocelyn waved to her and blew her a kiss. Jamie caught the kiss and waved a sorrowful goodbye back to her. Then Jocelyn and Harry walked through the door hand in hand and started to hug all their friends. Then the door closed behind them and Jocelyn knew everything would be better from that moment on!

 A/n: This was my first ever Imagine/One Shot back when 2012 when I was still very much into One Direction. I have edited from 2nd person to 3rd and fixed any grammatical errors I could find since then. If you have read this previously on a Tumblr page by the name of Thedreamerwhowrites, that was my old Tumblr page which I decided to get rid of and start a new one with my new fanfictions of my kpop bands I like. I wanted to add the 1D stories I wrote on here as well so you guys could enjoy them, too. Sorry if this was a weird story, I wrote a story sort of like this when I was in middle school and thought it would be cute to change it to have the 1D boys in it!
