Melody's POV
I’m in a train on my way to jersey, to my mother’s place. It's been three years since I've seen her, never did I think I'd be going back to the place I once called home.
I spend all night in the train because my mom lives at the very end of jersey. I'm about an hour away; the nerves inside me are killing me. Why do I feel like this? It's just my mom.
Yeah the one who can die tomorrow? When she called me last night I already knew that I'd be leaving. All the times we argued, all the times she hit me just melted away as soon as I heard she had cancer.
It was more like a no brainier. She's my mother and no matter what she did, I can't judge her nor could I leave her alone at a time like this.
The only regret I have is not being able to say goodbye to Harry. Carter will survive; Annebelle said she'd take care of him but Harry.... It hurts me knowing that he'll most likely be over it by tomorrow cause that's the type of guy he is. A player.
I didn't know what to do, my mom needed me and he lied. He lied about everything and it shouldn't hurt that he probably doesn't care about me but there's still this small part inside me that hopes that he does. Just a little bit. But I know it's a hopeless case.
I dropped out of NYU temporarily while I'm with my mom. There really is no point to going to NYU if I'm living in jersey. I really didn't want to but I didn't really have a choice.
By the time I got out of the train everyone had already left. I quickly gathered my bag and suit case and dismounted the train. It was raining outside so I practically ran to the first taxi I saw.
"4011 Lincoln Ave." I told the driver. He gave a quick nod and pulled out of the station.
-----
The car ride was surprising short. The taxi driver pulls up in front of my mother’s house in less than an hour. I quickly pay him and make my way to the door.
I raise my hand to knock on the door but hesitate and decide against it. As the taxi leaves I sit on the porch steps.
What am I doing here? After three years; at the first cry of help I rush to her side. After all those times I told myself I would let her rot in hell if she ever called me back.
She kicked me out without any mercy, knowing I had nowhere else to go. So why am I here?
Because deep down, I still wish that one day she'll de the mother I know she can be.
I'm pulled back into reality by a sudden dog opening. I turn around and there I see her, my mom.
“Melody! Oh my Melody, it’s been so long” She gives me a warm hug and ushers me inside. She hasn’t changed, still the tall, slim woman with my green eyes and her dirty blonde hair that I remember.
“Hi..…mom” I murmur. There’s not much I can say. “Come, sit. Tell me how you have been” She quickly takes me to the living room and we start conversing on the last three years of my life.
-------------------3 weeks later.
---Harry’s POV---
Where is she? Is she okay? Are we over? God no, please don’t let it be that. I lay in my bedroom just staring to the ceiling, staring to nothing. Nobody knows where she is or how she managed to leave without being seen. It’s been three weeks and I still have no clue if she’s okay.
I haven’t left my room either, I have no reason too, everything reminds me of her. Louis’s worried that if I don’t go out ill go crazy. Liam managed to get the paps to stop talking about the video while Zayn is trying to keep management happy to cover up for my never leaving. Niall and Annebelle seem okay with all this surprisingly. Something tells me they know something but aren’t saying.
As for Carter, I haven’t seen since she left. It’s as if he’s disappeared with her too. Oh no, please don’t let that be why they’re both gone. I shake that awful thought out of my head and decide it be okay if I go eat something.
Nobody’s home, thank god. Every time somebody’s home and I come out for food they give me this pity look that you give to a starving dog! I don’t like being pitied, and they should know that by now.
I’m eating milk and cereal when the boys and management walk in. What now. I place my bowl down and turn to face them.
“Morning Hazza” Louis chirps. I nod at him but keep quiet. We all stare at each other for a while before Simon breaks the silence.
“Okay Harry, this whole locking yourself up has been enough. You need to get out and seen we’re done recording the album….” He trails off. Shit! I know what’s coming, why I didn’t think about this before.
“We’re going back to London” He states. “No!” I yell. I don’t want to go, not yet, not until everything is okay with Melody.
“Haz, we have no reason to be here. We have to move on, start promoting the album” He says dryly.
“I have a reason to be here!” I say. No one questions me, they already know. We stay quiet, trying to find a solution to this. I don’t want to leave.
“How about we do a tour in the US” Niall speaks up. Yes! He doesn’t want to leave either, he has Annebelle to worry about.
“Yes, we should do that.” I state. “It’ll become popular quickly” Liam adds.
“Boys I…” Simon starts but Louis cuts him off. “Please Simon please, please PLEASE” He begs like the child he is.
“A radio tour okay and you have to agree to any interviews or photo shoots I assign you too, okay?” He says bossily.
“Okay” We say in unison.”Get packing then, I’ll start making the calls” He waves us goodbye and leaves. I sign in victory.
“Let’s watch a movie” Liam says quickly going to choose a movie. Niall and Zayn went to get food and Louis just stays by my side.
“You okay Hazza?” Louis asks much more serious then he was 5 minute ago. I nod my head weakly.
“She’ll come back, give her time.” He tells me and wraps an around me. The Fans would go crazy if they saw us right now.
We all settled in to watch the movie, Zombie land. Perfect movie choice. Half way through the movie Niall receives a call. He listens attentively, nods and then briskly gets up.
“Sorry but I have to go…um…something came up with Annebelle and she….needs me” He was never good at lying, he’s hiding something. The boys wave him off and he leaves. What is that boy hiding?
-----Annabelle’s POV---
I put my phone down and quickly begin packing a quick book bag, Niall should be here soon. I pack some shirts and a pair of jeans. I head to Carter’s room to say a quick bye.
“Hey Carter…..” He’s lying in his room staring out into oblivious. He looks up at me and then looks back at the ceiling.
“An emergency came up in my family and I’m going to be gone for a couple of days okay…. I’ll be back soon. Please don’t do anything stupid” He looks at me again and nods, waving me off. God, please watch over him. I hear a door knock and then open.
“Well, bye and take care okay?” And with that I leave his room. Niall is standing in my living room with a book bag.
“Hey Babe, what’s wrong? Why the bags?” He gestures to his bag and look back at me. I sign and grab my bag.
“I tell you in the train just promise me that you won’t tell Harry that we’re going to go see Melody?” I can’t let him tell Harry if he does, Mels will freak.
“I promise” He says, staring intensively at me.
