More Than I Could Have Hoped For

Chapter 37 (part 2): Margaret’s POV

{the day after the boys El and Dani hang out}

It was friday and I was in the bathroom carefully applying light cover up. I hadn’t been sleeping very well lately but I didn’t want the boys to worry. I was going to their concert. Yesterday Eleanor and Danielle were with them and they wanted me to meet their girlfriends, but I had a huge test at uni. I regretfully declined and now they’re forcing me to meet the girls at their concert. The reason Id rather not is because I know the boys will be dedicating yet another song to me and Im just hoping its not as intense as Hero was. I knew Eleanor and Danielle were really nice girls but I didn’t want their pity right out of the gate. Thinking this to myself now I realized that both Liam and Louis had probably already given them the full back round story on our relationship.

    Hmmm.. I wonder if they’d talked to Harry. I  wonder if he’d said anything about me.. I shook the thoughts away as well as pushing the ball in my stomach back down. ‘Its obvious you need these guys in your life.. so just don’t drive them away.’ Belle’s words replayed in my head. Thats exactly what I would be doing, by telling Harry how I feel. I would be driving them away.

   I wore a pair of dark skinny jeans and cowboy boots and tucked in a button down shirt. I let my hair lay naturally in slight waves down my waist. Belle appeared in the door way. 

   “Harry’s here Margaret, I would hurry before Jane kidnaps him” She said and then started a shower for herself. 

  “Ok Im going!” I ran downstairs and out the door. I saw Harry’s car and hopped in the passenger seat.

  “Hey Margaret!” He said. “You look great.” I felt my heart flutter. 

  “Why, thank you,” I said in a funny accent. We drove to the back of the arena in a comfortable silence. The was a kind of tension around us.. maybe it was just me. I couldn’t stop thinking about how perfect he looked in his blazer and forest green pants. We walked in the back.

  “I should warn you Margaret Eleanor and Dani know a little more then you would think..” He said guiltily. I sighed.

  “I figured, I don’t really mind. I dont know why but I feel like I know them already.” I said, truthfully. He smiled and opened the beige door to the room where the boys were.

  “Margs!!” Louis announced. He jumped up and hugged me, followed by Liam, Niall, then Zayn. I smiled brightly.

  “Sorry I couldn’t make it last night guys I had a lot of studying.”

  “That Ok do you think you did well?” I nodded and two girls emerged from behind a curtain. A rosy-cheeked, light-haired girl spotted me first and I recognized her as Eleanor. Her face broke into a warm smile and I breathed a smile of relief, as I couldn’t see any pity in her eyes. She walked over and gave me a friendly hug. Danielle had big brown hair that bounced ever so slightly when she walked her face was painted with happiness and friendliness as she embraced me next.

  “Hi Im Danielle” she said. Liam moved closer to her and put his are around her.

  “And Im Eleanor! We have literally heard so much about you! Im so glad to be meeting you,” she said cheerily.

  “Likewise, Liam and Lou just never shut up about you both I feel like I know you already!” I said Harry suddenly picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. The boys all started chanting something in complete gibberish while jumping up and down and clapping and Harry started sprinting across the room. “LET ME DOWN” I slapped Harry’s shoulders but he ran faster there was only one way to get him to let me go. I reached me hand down and squeezed Harry’s butt hard. He squealed in surprise, sounding quite girly and dropped me. I landed on my feet and he stared at me wide eyed but sporting a cheeky grin as everyone around us broke in to hysterics. 

  “What was that for?!” I shrugged.

  “I told you to let me down.” I said nonchalantly, I winked. Just then Julie came in the room.

  “You ready boys? Its time!” She announced, excited. They all whooped and ran out the door except for Niall who lent against the frame a second longer. 

  “Oh and by the way were singing to you again tonight.” He smiled mischievously and I groaned He laughed and sprinted away. Eleanor and Danielle giggled.

  “Why don’t you like them singing to you?” Danielle asked curiously.

  “Yea its literally the sweetest thing! They always put so much emotion into those covers.. They really like you Margaret.” I shrugged, I wasn’t sure why I didn’t like it.. maybe I did.

  “Maybe someone even puts a little extra emotion into it..” Danielle suggested wiggling her eyebrows.

  “Yea so..” Eleanor took charge. “Whats the story with Harry?” She asked conversationally as we walked down the hallway. You could hear the tune to Na Na Na starting and we all smiled widely, mostly Danielle since this was like Liam’s song.

  “I don’t really know,” I said as we reached the side of the stages and watched the boys perform. “Last year we had this thing”
  “Ohhhh a thing!” Danielle cooed, Me and Eleanor giggled.

  “I knew I couldn’t battle with the distance and we weren’t official so we ended it.” They both nodded sympathetically. “I don’t know.. spending time with him now just shows that it doesn’t feel over to me. But its been so long.. What if he doesn’t feel the same way.” They shot a look at each other. “Its all just a bunch of what ifs right now but one thing thats for sure is that I cant loose the boys right now… it just wouldn’t be good for me.” There was a knowing glint in their eyes that confirmed that they both knew my history.

  “Trust me babe, he feels that way too.” Eleanor said. I felt something in my stomach.

  “You should see the way he looks at you, like your the best person he knows.” Danielle said and El nodded. We looked toward the boys who were now starting Tell me a lie. We all watched as Harry’s head turned in our direction his eyes obviously lingering on me. He turned back to the audience and Dani and El both gave me a told you so look.

  “Look we obviously can’t talk about this here but Dani and I wanted to know if you could join us tomorrow. We were planning on shopping, getting lunch. maybe dinner.” El said hopefully. 

  “Definitely!… erm its just in the morning I have group.. like uhm .. like therapy.” They nodded understandingly but once again not an ounce of pity.

  “Does twelve sound good?” El asked.

  “perfect.” 

  “Cant wait!” Danielle added but she didn’t take her eyes away from Liam. The next hour and a half we spent side by side dancing and singing and cheering, it was so much fun. Like actually going out to a concert with friends. The show finally came to an end and there was a knot in my stomach. I could see the look of anticipation in the crowd’s face as well, waiting to see the next ‘1Dedication’. 

  “Thank you all so much for coming out!” Niall screamed.

  “Its really amazing that we can sell out shows in the same arena two times a week!” Zayn said.

  “You guys are all amazing!” Liam said.

  “This is the end of the show..” Harry trailed off as usual and Louis picked it back up.

  “We just have one more special song to sing” I groaned and turned around. Eleanor and Danielle, giggling, spun me around by my shoulders and the boys were all peering directly at me huge grins on their faces. Louis was still addressing the audience. “because we all think its really important that you always let your best” he stressed that word. “friends know how much you care about them.” The guitar came in with a hand drum and they sang the song, everyone getting solos, coming together for the chorus and sounding amazing. And I decided tonight. I loved when they sang to me a bright smile spread across my face as I listened to the words. I felt like the most special girl in the world, with the five best friends anyone could ever ask for.

More Than I Could Have Hoped For

Chapter 33 (part 2): Margaret’s POV

   It was 9:50 and the boys show had started at 8. I stood next to julie backstage live. Them singing live was truly phenomenal. They were so talented and that’s when I realized how lucky I was. If I was here a year and a couple months ago I would be fan girling like a maniac. Stage hand brought out five stool and the crowd began to cheer ‘More Than This’ I smiled this was one of my favorites.

     I’m broken do you hear me ….. as I walk up to you door … It just won’t feel right …. Cos I can love you more than this… If I’m louder.. And then I see you on the street in his are I get weak… When he opens his arms and hold you close… When he lays ya down I might just die inside.. Now I’m asking you to stay for little while… When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight it just won’t feel right cause I can love you more than this… Can love you more than this.  

  The crowd went wild and I cheered a little myself, Julie laughed.

  “Well thats the end of the show for tonight you guys have been amazing..” harry said breathlessly, the crowd booed. “but we have an announcement to make. We have lots of shows like this one planned right here in London!” The crowd flipped out screaming like crazy. “Were doing this as a massive thank you to our fans here in england who have been so supportive and dedicated while we were on tour and who are being so patient as we work on our new abulm!” The boys were still sitting on their chairs. 

“We just have one more song left and it says a lot.” Zayn said.

And as usual Liam started out with his soft but strong vocal.

When you try you’re best but you dont succeed,

When you get what you want but not what you need,

When you feel so tired but you cant sleep,

Stuck in reverse.

Niall took it from there.

And the tears come streaming down your face,

When you lose something you can’t replace,

Harry’s turn

When you love someone but it goes to waste,

Could it be worse?

Five voices harmonized and they were all staring at me, tears built up again. I had cried too much today.

Light will guide you home,

And ignite your bones,

And I will try to fix you.

There was a piano somewhere and then Zayn came in for his solo.

And high up above or down below,

When your too in love to let it go,

Louis rugged voice chimed in.

But if you never try you’ll never know,

Just what your worth,

four more voices…

Light will guide you home,

And ignite your bones,

And I will try to fix you.

 The electric guitar came in from the band, and then the drums. Zayn and Liam sang the main vocal as Louis and Niall did a layered cooing in the backround.

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I…..

Tears stream down on your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down on your face

And I…

Harry took a deep breath.

Lights will guide you home,

And ignite your bones,

And I will try 

To fix you.

Chapter 33 (part 1): Harry’s POV

  We sat there in silence for a minute or two and then Julie our manager came in.

  “Hey boys” she said lazily, walking in. Then she saw Margaret, who had shoved her sleeves back down. “Hey hun, Im julie, and I am kind of the person who sorts out the boys schedule, I work for simon, the boys didn’t tell me they were bringing someone today.” she said, sticking her hand out. Margaret stood up and took her hand. 

  “Margaret,” she introduced herself. “Im just here to visit the boys. Were friends” Margaret said.

  “Hmm… i like your accent where are you from?” Julie asked curiously.

  “New York.” Margaret answered.

  “Oh! your that Margaret! the boy used to talk about you a lot! Its great to finally meet you” It was true, we used to mention Margaret a lot, and how much we missed her. Margaret smile in return but didn’t have anything to say and Julie directed her conversation towards us. “Okay boy I know today we were supposed to get a lot more recording done but Ive decided were going to scratch that and practice for your concert tonight. Sound check yesterday did not go very well and we cant have something like that happening again.” It was true sound check had been a disaster and I was immediately thankful for the extra rehearsal. “I finally have the schedule and it goes out tomorrow, youll be announcing it tonight.”

  “You guys are doing concerts again? All your interviews said you would be working on a new album for the next few months.” Margaret said, confused but smiley. It made me smile. 

  “The fans here were so patient when we toured America and Australia and all the other countries were going to be holding a whole bunch of concerts here in London to repay them for being so dedicated.” Were hoping they’ll travel from all parts of england. 

  “Wow guys thats really great. Im going to go so you can get to rehearsals tonight but its been really…. Im glad I came.” She said. She got up and hugged Liam then Louis then me.

  “Come tonight, you have to” I said.

  “Yea come se us perform.” Zayn said pulling her away from me and into his arms.

  “I dont know.. I have to be.. uh home by eleven” she said hugging Niall now.

  “It’ll be over at ten sweetie you sould definitly come hold on” julie said leaving the room.

  “Yea great! count me in” margaret said flashing us, her bright smile. I was happy to see it again. We all cheered. Julie came back in and handed Margaret a shiny red neck pass and a ticket. 

  “Here its for you to get backstage, see you tonight.” She said.

  “Wow thank you so much,” she gave Julie a friendly hug and then beamed around the room. “Bye Ill see you later!” she left. Julie went off in her own car to the arena and the boys all hopped into mine. We got to the arena and Julie started rehearsal we sang Na Na Na and One thing and then Zayn stopped the rehearsal. 

  “Hey Julie will you come here for a sec?” He asked. Julie came around to the stage and came over. We were all looking at him. “So about our friend Margaret shes really been going through a hard time and we haven’t been there for her. So I have .. an idea maybe to show her how much we care…”

Chapter 25 (part 1): Niall’s POV 

  It was twelve O’clock and we had been in the studio all morning. I was fucking hungry. We had a moment and Liam was in the bathroom. Louis was talking to Eleanor on the phone and Harry and Zayn were on the computer. They would’t notice if i disappeared for half an hour would they? I walked out of the building without an eye on me and walked past the parking lot. I put my hood up as I would be passing Uni and didn’t want to be recognized as I didn’t have any security.

  I walked by the Uni parking lot and heard girls giggling. I automatically started walking faster until I got to the cafe/lunch place I wanted to go. I ordered a grilled cheese to go and bought a grape drink. I sat with my head lowered in a booth waiting for my order to be ready. There were only a few others in the place anyway but I really didn’t want any attention. I heard the bell on the door jingle indicating someone walking in. I heard a girl’s voice and turned my head to face the window so they only saw the back of my Jack Wills.

  “I cannot believe you left without me this morning. I could have helped you get to class.” I heard one girl say her voice was extremely high pitched and I had to close my eyes to tolerate it. “It sucks that you’re stuck with dance. I got football and I couldn’t be happier.”  Her friend didn’t respond. They walked up to order and I was now holding my head at a 180 degree angle to conceal my face, though I was curious as to what this high pitched girl looked like if her face matched her voice.

  “God Belle shutup I get it your schedule is better than mine blah blah blah. At least I don’t have Sociology twice a day. Mr. Birant has a bit of an eye problem if you know what I mean.” I felt myself stand up my neck snapping back fast in response to the familiar American accent that had just met my ears. She was turned away from me, sitting across from her friend awaiting their order. They were both laughing over what she had just said. Her laugh filled the room. It was a loud cackle, but in a cute way. I saw her outfit, a snug blue cashmere half sleeve shirt with a brown puffy skirt that stopped mid thigh where they were met by tights. I was looking at Margaret Evans.

Chapter 16: Harry’s POV

  I put my arm around the blonde girl, Sarah I think her name is, and we walked into the movie theatre. Cameras from the papz flashed as I paid for the tickets and led her into the dark lit theater. As the movie started she put her legs over the seat and started kissing my neck. It must not have been very comfortable for her but at the moment I wasn’t thinking about anyone but myself. I grabbed at her hips and our body’s were unnaturally close to each other. I began to kiss her back and by the time the movie was over I hadnt even learned the name. I turned on my phone as Paul drove us back to our hotel in LA and opened a message from Liam ‘performance in an hour where are you?!’ I sighed and hopped out of the van and walked into the hotel. 

“what’s wrong with you our performance is in 15 minutes?” Liam half-shouted. 

“I was out..” Louis giggled and Zayn rolled his eyes. I got changed and got in the van. It had been almost two weeks since I talked to Margaret tomorrow was the first of April. We got out of the van into a small arena over crowded with fans. “Are you ready LA!” i shouted. Screams from every direction. 

“you know I’ve always got your back girl…” Liam started.

Margaret’s POV

I logged on to tumblr to make a chain post about my day (I always get a lot of note on those because their funny). A second after I typed in my password my dashboard was flooded with pictures of Harry styles going to the movies with a stunning blond girl. I sighed there had been other pictures like this. Even though he had never asked me out while we were together I had felt something towards him and I had been hoping he felt the same something but whenever I saw a picture like this one it just told me I was wrong. I turned on my favorite song at the moment and laid down to think “he takes your hand.. I die a little…” Move on Margaret you probably don’t even cross his mind… 

Zayn’s POV 

  ” hold on to the feeling and don’t let it go….. Like this all night…. Don’t even care about the table breaking….. Katy Perry’s on replay… See the sun….. Get out of control… With you…. DJ got the floor to shake…. Up all night…… Do it all with you… Up all night!” my breathing was fast. 

    “THANK YOU LOS ANGELES!!” Louis bellowed. We ran off the stage and into the dressing room and high-fives each other. I checked my phone. One message from Margaret. ‘100 on my chem test! Good luck at the show!’ I smiled. Margaret had been stressing about this test for weeks she worked really hard to get that grade. ‘YES! Thanks Marg it was great.’ I texted back.

   “Who ya texting?” Niall asked curiously. 

    “Margaret” I answered. Harry rolled his eyes but I noticed him check his own phone a second later. He sighed and now it was my turn to roll my eyes. We all know that Harry fancies Margaret. When we first left New York they texted each other every day. We all thought he was going to ask her to be his boyfriend but then he found some random girl at a party and brought her home it almost seemed like it was on purpose to keep his feeling for Margaret away and it’s been going like that ever since. When it first started I called Margaret to see how she felt about it, she had seen the pictures online and said it didn’t bother her, but I could tell she was upset. We texted each other every day since New York and at this point I was so close with her I could tell you anything you wanted to know. But I wouldn’t because she trusted me. My phone buzzed and I checked it 

Margaret: omg so exited gonna go out with emily to celebrate what’s up in LA how are the boys ps. Tell Niall to text me back

Me: have fun text me when you get home. The boys are fine we have a meeting with our management in ten. Will do ttyl!

   “Niall, Margaret wants you to check your phone.” I said. Niall’s face lit up and he began typing vigorously on his phone. Harry, obviously trying to avoid his phone, was talking to Liam about Danielle. Paul drove us to the studio and we sat around an oval at table with Simon and other familiar faces.

   “Ok guys first were going to discuss our current public image” Simon started.       “who’s dating?”

  Louis and Liam raised their hands and Simon nodded. “OK Harry whats the story. Your making yourself look bad a new girl every other day.”
 “Yes im not really dating them though…”

  “Yes well I think the media picked up on that” simon said to him. then he addressed the rest of us. “Watch him no more dating around and if he does don’t let him get caught.”. we nodded. Simon then turned to me.
  “Now, your dating that Margaret girl right Zayn.” I hadn’t even opened my mouth to answer when -

 “ No.” Harry said slightly aggressively. Simon raised his eyebrows and then turned back to me. I felt slightly angry but it wasn’t a lie. 

  “No were just very close friends.” I looked over to Harry to see if he objected to this as well but he turned away. Simon could tell something was off and his eyebrows knitted together.

  “Alright boys your filming iCarly tomorrow they say they’ll probably only need you for two days. Now I have a surprise.” Everyone’s eyes locked on Simon and a small smile spread on his lips. “Your going to New York City for a week and a couple days where you’ll be performing as musical guest on Saturday Night Live  hosted by actress Sofia Vergara.” 

  “Yes!” i cheered but it was drowned out by the other boys yells and whoops.

   “Congratulations! We’ll have another meeting soon it might be tomorrow and it might be a week. until then keep it together guys.” 

   “Yes Simon” we answered smiling brightly. He nodded and then he and the others left. We all picked up our things and got in the van talking about snl. Harry and I both dropped out of the conversation at the same time and looked out the window and I could tell we were both thinking about the same thing. Someone else we would be seeing in New York.

More Than I Could Have Hoped For

Chapter 15: Margaret’s POV

  I felt a hand on my shoulder and opened my eyes a fraction. Where was I? My eyes focused and Zayn was right in front of me. Memories of yesterday flooded into my mind. I sat up and Zayn pulled me into a hug. We sat like that for a while and then he whispered we have to leave soon. I dreaded it I didn’t want to say goodbye to the boys, any of them Niall was my friend first, Liam was so caring, Louis was so funny and friendly, Harry … I think I had feelings for him. And then there was Zayn. I had liked him since I first met him and I knew we would be friends. But after last night it was different I feel like we’re so much closer and I don’t want to say goodbye to him. 
  I felt better I was here in the comfort of Zayn’s arms and I knew no one could hurt me. Paul walked in. “oh Uhm we have to checkout in an hour do you think you’ll be going soon Margaret?” I nodded I knew he wasn’t trying to be rude but I couldn’t believe they were going to leave. Zayn made a face “I’ll be right back” Zayn told me. I nodded and walked into the Bathroom. By the hints around the sink I could tell I stayed in Zayns room last night I looked at myself in the mirror and was surprised to see that my makeup wasn’t that messed up. I put my hair in a high ponytail. My turquoise dress was completely ruined. I put my sweater on. I walked into the main room and saw Louis watching tv. He patted the couch and I went and sat down next to him. He put his arm around me. “How are you feeling Margs?”. I didn’t answer but he didn’t care and we sat there and watched the news until they began to announce missing children and local assaults. Louis shut off the television and rubbed my arm. Liam came out of the kitchen and offered me some orange juice I pulled my self up and took it from him. Niall then came in and gave me a hug. I felt so much better and we sat and talked for a couple minutes. Zayn came back in with Paul who gave me a smile. “We’ll be giving you a ride home Miss Margaret.” 
    ” Thank you” I mumbled. Zayn rubbed my shoulder. 
    “Ok boys put your bags in the van” Paul ordered.  They all grabbed a bag from the sight of the room and disappeared out the door. I sighed and nibbled on some toast. 
    “Margaret..” I turned to see Harry in the doorway with bags under his eyes. I stood up, he ran over to me and hugged me tightly. ” I should have never let it happen to you.. How did I not realize.”
   ”these things happen all the time..” I informed him. “I just…. Never…” I choked. I looked up at the ceiling to keep from crying and he pulled me back in for another hug. It was a long time until he released me I tried to change the subject.
   ”Goodness Harry you look terrible.”
   ”thanks..” he chuckled “I couldn’t sleep last night. I just—-” Zayn walked  into the room with a hard look in his eyes. He looked Harry up and down then turned to me and smiled warmly. 
   ”its time to go, Love” he said. He walked over and put his arm around me and the three of us walked down the stairs. “We have to got the front way you” he pointed to the back door where the van was ” go that way.” I got into the van and we pulled up to the front where girls were screaming and lined the street. The boys, waving and taking pictures, made their way to the car and Harry and Niall sat on either side of me. 
    “it’s funny to think that i probably would have been me out there if I hadn’t met Niall” I said. Niall grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze. We got to my building and they all jumped out of the car. Liam was there first. He pulled me into a hug and kissed me on the head. He looked into my eyes and said goodbye putting a lot more into that word.  Then Louis, who instead of going for loud and happy became quiet. He pulled me In Tight and said “we’re going to see you again Margaret. We’ll miss you.” then he pulled away and smiled. “Get a twitter young one!” he jumped in the van. It was Niall next he looked very upset and he pulled me into a hug lifting me up slightly. “I’ll talk to you soon”. Zayn spun me around and the hug was different it warned me to be carful and to talk to him everyday. To have fun and that he would miss me. I smiled into his shoulder. He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me back looking into my eyes and said. “I’m going to see  you soon. Don’t you even think about going to school today.” he warned me. I laughed a little. Harry was last and I looked at him. He then pulled me into my last goodbye for the day. As we broke apart he started to say something and I gave him a kiss on the cheek. He blushed and said goodbye. Paul gave me a highfive and I waved the van away as I walked into my building.

Chapter 12 (part 1): Louis’ POV

   We got to her building and Harry was waiting, hood up, outside. I opened the door and he hopped in. “How is Eleanor?” He asked. 

   “Oh we had the nicest day! How was Margs?” I ask him. I see in his eyes he wants to tell me all the details, but can’t right now, because of Paul. 

   “Good. We had so much fun.” we made small talk until we got back to the hotel. We thanked paul and walked into the hotel room and sat down with the boys. Zayn and Niall said the fan thing were great and we got details on Liam’s date, I told the boys about mine and Eleanor’s. “So what did you do with Margaret all day?” Niall asked. Harry smiled to himself.

    “Well when i woke up I got bored and I got to her house before her school let out. We watched TV and just talked. You were right about her living alone, Niall. she told me a bit about that.” His eyes had a bit of anger in them when he said. “I heard a bit more about drew as well.”

    Zayn made an unhappy sound. “What?”
    “She had a bruise from him on her wrist a really nasty one too. She almost defended him about it as well, when I asked her.” Harry explained. The he told us what really happened after she left our hotel after the phone call. That Drew kid was a real character. “I would beat him up if he wasn’t so young.” Niall said which was true, We all had at least three years on Drew and it wouldn’t be fair. Then Harry went more into talking about the ‘talking and stuff’ and when he was done. He sighed happily. Niall and Zayn chuckled together. “What?” Harry i asked. I made my voice high. 

    “Oh Margaret come over tomorrow before we leave forever.” I wavered a little then put my hand to my forehead in distress and ‘ohhhh’d as fell to the ground in mock-sadness. Niall and Zayn cracked up and I chuckled. Liam sang out. “Harry and Margaret sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G” Harry threw a pillow at him and he fell over laughing. 

   “Shuttup. shes fun to talk to thats all.” Harry said blushing. We teased him like this for a while but it died down and we were all excited for the next day.

Chapter 11: Harry’s POV

   “Don’t flatter yourself” she teases me. I laugh today turned out better than I could’ve asked. She picked up the plate that the nachos had been on and carried it into the kitchen. I followed her with the two empty soda can. I dropped them in to the can i knew was for recycling. 

   “So how life this week?” I ask casually as she turns on the faucet and pulls out some dish soap.

   “Better than average.” she answers with a smile and I know she’s talking about meeting the band. She pulls up the sleeves on her uniform and starts making soapy circles around the plate. I immediately spot a purple-black bruise on her wrist. I turn off the water and pull her hand onto mine to look at it.

   “My God Margaret how did you get this?!” I ask. Her eyes darken a little and she blushes. 

   “Its not important.” she says pulling her hand away from me. I dont want it to be like this. I certainly dont was to ruin the day but I wont take no for an answer.

   “Margaret… Did your boyfriend give you that bruise?” I ask gently. I speak in a low voice but Im carful to be very clear. She has a disapointed look on her face and I dont know why.

   “Yes.. it was an accident he grabbed my wrist when I was unlocking the door and he didn’t know it would bruise.” Anger seared through me. Drew didn’t deserve her and she didn’t deserve bruises. The anger was going in waves and I couldn’t shake it. I nodded at her then went to sit down in the living room. I heard the water go back on as she finished washing the dish. She came in and sat down next to me silently. 

    “He’s a jerk.” I said shortly.

    “Yea I know. But I ended it with him last night.” she said. “What happened.” She looked as though she didn’t know wether or not it would be a good idea to tell me and then decided there was no way to really get out of it.

     “Well, he came over and acted like he hadn’t even called! He even kissed me as he walked in.” Who did he think he was. “Then he lounged and turned on the TV and I walked over and told him I couldn’t be in a relationship like this anymore. He acted like it wasnt even a thing. ‘whatever you say’” she imitated his cold voice. “and then he left and Niall called me on the phone.” She finish with a slight smile like she was proud of herself. 

     “Good for you. Your so much better than he is. You deserve better.” She blushed and then looked sad. 

     “Your leaving the day after tomorrow…” she said. I didn’t know how to answer because it wasn’t a question and it wasn’t a lie. We were leaving New York tomorrow. 

     “Would you like to come over tomorrow to hang out for a while and say goodbye to the boys? They’d like to see you.” She brightened at the thought.  “really? Ok!” I scooped up my phone and saw a text from Louis. ‘Were home where are you?’ ‘At Margarets’ I answered. ‘OK Paul and I are going to come get you in the van. be ready.’ 

     “Look Margaret I have to go but I’ve had such a great time with you today.” I looked straight into her eyes and gave her one of my famous smile. “Really.” She gave me a hug and I gave her a kiss on the cheek. “See you soon.”

     “Bi Harry” she said in her adorable english accent, closing the door to her apartment. I wished it was tomorrow already.
