Chapter 31
Niall walked into the hotel with Harry. "Well I can promise you that I'm in the dog house."
"Yeah, I can't even get a word out of her. I don't know what to do. If she won't talk to me I don't even know how to try and fix this." Harry said walking into the room. He watched Julie packing her suitcase. He walked over to her. "Please don't do this. Please give me a chance to explain. It doesn't have to be this way." When she looked up at him he could see the emptiness in her eyes. He hadn't seen that since the night she told him about her past. "Please Julie, I need to explain and I need you to hear me when I do. I love you. This is a big misunderstanding." He wasn't getting anywhere. She was so calm. He would rather she screamed at him or cried or something. "Please stop being so unreasonable. Just talk to me. Please. Yell, scream, fight, throw something at me, give me something!"
Julie just shrugged her shoulders. She fought the hurt. She didn't want it to hurt. She didn't want him to see the hurt. If she let it, it would overcome her. She knew things were going to implode on her. She had always hoped they wouldn't, but she knew. She looked back at the suitcase took out a hoodie and zipped the suit case shut. She put it on its wheels, put the hoodie on over her crop top and grabbed her carry on.
Amanda grabbed her suitcase and put it by the door. She was going wherever JJ was. That protective streak was in full force, and Kendall being at that club was too much for her. JJ had retreated further and she was going to make sure she was ok no matter what.
Niall walked up to her. "Princess, I know you're mad at me and I get it. I really do. I messed up. Please don't do this. Please don't leave like this."
"I have too. I got here too late and I need to do this." She said as she opened the door for JJ.
"I love you Amanda, and I swear to you we are going to talk through this. I wish you wouldn't leave like this." Niall practically begged.
"I hope we do Niall. But right now, I need to go." She walked out with Julie.
Niall couldn't believe this was happening. Everything seemed perfect less than 24 hours ago, and now both him and Harry were watching the girls they loved walk out the door, and neither could do anything to change their minds.
Harry took a few deep breaths. He was about to lose it. He just let the girl he loved walk out the door. He looked at his phone when it rang. It was his mum. How could he explain this to her? He just introduced them a few days ago, and now he had to explain he may have lost her because of a poor choice he made. "Hey mum." He said as he answered the phone.
"Gemma's here, she just told me what's going on. Are you ok?" She asked him concerned.
"No, mum. I screwed up, and right now I can't get her to talk to me at all. I just watched her walk out the hotel door and I don't know what to do." He said trying to hold back his tears.
"She's leaving? Gemma's calling her now. I'm really sorry Harry I wish there was more I could do." she said.
"I wish she would just show me something. Even if she were to get angry and yell at me, or something. I can't get through to her when she hides. And Amanda's angry at me and Niall. This is a disaster." He said to her walking to the window.
"I can't say that it's going to be ok. It's going to be tough. I know you didn't think this would happen when you agreed to meet with Kendall, Harry. I hope she will let you explain. You do need to give her some time. If you guys love each other as much as you say. It will eventually work out." She said. "She's not answering Gemma either."
"I called her unreasonable." He started to tell her.
"You, what? Oh, Harry." She said.
"Yeah, but that's it I wanted it to make her angry; I wanted to get her to show some emotion, and it didn't work." He said.
Niall walked over to him and they watched the girls stand next to the curb waiting for a cab. When the cab pulled up it blocked their view of the girls but they stood watching.
As the cab pulled up, Julie threw her hands up in the air. It started pouring. "Doesn't this just figure." She said to Amanda. When the cab driver went to grab their bags, she stopped him. "Wait." She looked at Amanda. Her heart actually hurt. She physically felt pain in her chest. "Oh god." She leaned against the bag.
"Are you ok?" Amanda asked her putting her hand on her shoulder.
"No. I feel like my heart is actually breaking. I hate this so much." She said as she tried to catch her breath.
"Because you love him. Yeah I know the feeling." Amanda said starting to cry. They were soaked already but it didn't matter.
"I don't want to leave him. And I hate that I don't want to leave him." Julie said still trying to get her breathing under control. She looked up into the rain. "This feels like a bad lifetime movie Panda, but I don't wanna go."
"Then let's stay. Let's go work it out with them. Or at least work through it." She looked into Julie's eyes.
Julie nodded. "Yeah. Oh, god, it hurts."
"It should hurt, JJ. Sucks, but it should." She said.
Julie handed the cab driver some money for his trouble and they stood back as he got into the cab to drive away.
Harry put his hand on the window when he saw the cab driver get into the cab and get ready to leave.
Niall leaned against the window frame. He still couldn't believe this was happening. He pushed himself off of the frame when the cab pulled away. "Harry." Was all he could say.
Harry saw it at the same time. The girls were still standing at the curb. "Mum, I have to go. I will call you later."
He followed Niall out the door. They ran down the hallway and out of the hotel, into the pouring rain. They didn't care. They met their soaking wet girlfriends as they just finished crossing the street back in front of the hotel.
Harry wrapped his arms around Julie's waist and picked her up. He didn't care how she would react. He couldn't believe she actually stayed. "Thank god you didn't go." He wasn't stupid enough to believe they didn't have a lot to work through but she was still there.
Niall grabbed Amanda and kissed her in the rain. He never meant to hurt her and he knew they had to talk it out, but she stayed for him. He was so relieved. His heart couldn't take her leaving. "I love you, so much. We can get through anything Amanda."
"I know Niall. And I know I haven't been easy since we found out, but I needed to be here." She said to him.
"I know, I see that now. I never meant to hurt you." He said. "We will talk through this but let's get you out of the rain." He wrapped his arm tightly around her waist and walked her into the hotel. "I will get us a room."
"I need to be with her Niall, whenever she wants or needs me." She said.
"I know, but we still need another room. I will see if they have adjoining." He said walking over to the desk.
Harry still hadn't moved; he didn't want to chance it. She was still in his arms. He didn't even notice the rain. When she slowly started to pull back from him he put her down. She was soaked from head to toe. "Let's get you inside and dried off." He took her hand. He felt her start to pull away from him, but she stopped and let him keep her hand for the moment. The bellhops had already taken their bags inside so Harry took her in. He spoke to Niall briefly who was getting a room. Amanda looked at Julie who just nodded slightly. They communicated silently again. Neither Harry nor Niall had to ask. Amanda wrapped her arm with Julie's and walked with her to the room. Neither Harry nor Niall fought it. They were still overly happy that they stayed. They would take whatever they got at the moment.
Niall got to the room shortly after Julie, Amanda and Harry walked in. Julie still hadn't said a word. Harry handed both Julie and Amanda a towel. "Julie, you have to say something. Only way we can work this out."
"I don't know what to say." She said walking towards the window.
"How am I supposed to know what to do if you won't even tell me what you're feeling." He said to her.
"I don't want to feel a thing. I figured you knew that. Or maybe that's just unreasonable of me." She said.
"I just said that to try and make you angry. To get you to show some kind of emotion. This is driving me insane." He said.
"Careful, Harry." Amanda said. She understood, the calmness bugged her too but she knew he better tread carefully.
"You want emotion?" She picked up a glass from the mini bar and whipped it at him. He moved and it hit the wall and shattered. She picked up another but before she could throw it, Niall stopped her by grabbing her wrist with one hand, and taking the glass with the other.
"Ok, Nolan Ryan. We see you have quite the arm. I don't think he actually meant it when he said to throw something at him before. Let's save the glasses please." He set it down on the bar. He didn't know why, but he started laughing at her. "Seriously? After all this? You just up and throw a glass at him?"
"Niall, why are you laughing?" Julie said to him. Before she knew it though she was laughing slightly with him. "Niall!" She shook her head.
"Sorry." He said but he was laughing harder. "It was just so unexpected, and it's just funny to me." Before he knew it, everyone was laughing. It released some of the tension in the room.
After a few minutes, Julie pushed him aside. "I'm freezing and wet I'm going to shower. She hugged Amanda. "Go get showered and changed. I'm ok for now."
"Alright, but you call me if you need me and do NOT wait like you did yesterday." She said grabbing her things.
"Yes ma'am." Julie said grabbing her things to shower.
Niall was able to get the adjoining room so they walked through to the room.
Harry cleaned up the broken glass and changed while Julie was in the shower. It was a horrible couple of days. He hoped they could finally talk and work through it. He watched her come out and put her things away. He saw her shiver. "Are you ok?"
She looked at him. Guess she had to talk to him. Get this over with. "Still cold. Can't get rid of the chill."
"Sit down. Let me get you a blanket." He watched her sit on the couch and grabbed a blanket. He wrapped it around her and watched her snuggle into it. He went and made a pot of hot water and made her some tea. When he handed it to her he watched her wrap her hands around the warm cup. "Better?"
"Yeah, somewhat. Thanks." She said staring at the cup.
He sat next to her. "Baby, I am really sorry for all of this. I shouldn't have left you here, especially not telling you where I was going. I didn't mean to hurt you. There is NOTHING going on with Kendall." He watched Julie cringe as he said her name. "I swear to you there is no one else."
She stood up and set the tea on the table. "I don't want to do this."
"I know you don't, but we have too. I need you to understand that I just went to talk to her about a mutual friend. One she said was having some issues. That's all. I was wrong. I made a bad choice. But I did not mean for it to be like this." He said.
"Do you think I want this? I hate this. I want to believe you. More than anything. I don't want to doubt us. I wanted to leave Harry. I want to run. But then she wins. I can't help but think that's what she wants. I can't tell you who to be friends with. I don't want too. I don't have to like it though and I don't. And you purposely hid it from me. That makes me wonder why. If there's nothing to hide, then why hide it? I want to be that girl who is super confident and who doesn't doubt herself but I'm not." She said trying not to cry.
"I know that. I know you. I did make a horrible choice. I think I knew you wouldn't like it. And that sounds bad. But I did just want to help with the situation with our friend. I didn't think of why she was here, I didn't think of why she needed to do it here. She's in Paris a lot I didn't think anything about it." He tried to explain.
"I can't deal with this pain. My heart hurts. I didn't know it could actually hurt. Wow, you sure know a lot about her schedule. She's everything I'm not. I'm sorry I'm not enough for you." She said walking into the bedroom and laying on the bed on her side.
He followed her into the bedroom, knelt down at the side of the bed, and looked in her eyes. "Don't ever say that. You are more than enough for me. I didn't go to her for any other reason than to talk to her about our friend. Amanda told me what you said. You're wrong. You are already all those things to me. You are all I want. Just believe me when I tell you I love you." He covered her up. "I will give you some time. As long as I know you're here and safe I can give you some time." He kissed her head and walked out to the couch. He knew they had to talk about more, but he could give her time. He laid down on the couch and tried to sleep.
After a while, Julie got up and went out into the other room. She saw him lying on his back on the couch, eyes closed. She hated the hurt. She didn't want to feel but she needed him. She hated that too. This, was so hard. She walked over, lifted the blanket and crawled on top of him lying on his chest. "It hurts so much." She said to him.
"I know, baby. And I didn't mean for it to happen." He wrapped his arms around her. He was so glad she came to him. He knew she didn't know how to deal with pain. It bothered him she hid it all, but he believed she took a big step staying and coming to him just now. She fell asleep shortly after she laid on his chest. He grabbed his phone lifted it and took a picture of her lying on his chest. He sent it to his mum. He captioned it with "she stayed." They would work it out when she woke. He was keeping her in Paris another day. He didn't care what anyone said. He would be there until they worked through it.
When Amanda came out of the shower Niall immediately went up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. "Can we talk now?"
She turned so she was facing him. She put her hands on his chest. "Yes. I am sorry this became a huge fight. I'm sorry that we disagreed but I knew exactly what she would do. I think you did too and it hurt me a lot when you wouldn't even just help me get here."
"I know. I told Harry this perspective thing is difficult. We just don't think the same way as you. I didn't think about anything other than they needed to fight through it. I didn't think about the initial reaction." He kissed her lips. "I should have respected your feelings more."
"We don't always have to agree Niall. In fact, I can promise we won't. But I NEEDED to be here, for her, for me. I just wanted you to get that. You didn't have to agree. But when you refused to help me do what I feel needed to be done, it hurt. I was angry. I still am angry at the whole thing. But just like I guess you didn't understand where I was coming from, I don't get where you or Harry are coming from. Seemed like the only choice to make, go to her." She said.
"I know, I'm learning how this whole thing works. It shouldn't have been a fight. It wasn't difficult to come to Paris. Maybe this all would have gone smoother if I wouldn't have fought you either. Do you forgive me?" He asked her.
"Always Niall. I love you. It doesn't take away the hurt, but I wouldn't be anywhere else." She yawned. "Can we go to bed?"
"Yes." He helped her in bed and turned off the lights. He climbed in beside her. "I thought I'd be in a cold bed alone tonight when you walked out of the door with JJ. I'm so glad you decided to stay."
"Thank JJ. She decided to stay. I would've went if she did. She can't be left alone right now she's pulled back again. Two steps forward, one step back." She laid her head on his chest.
He kissed her head. "I will thank her later. But I honestly thought you talked her into staying. I would have never guessed. I love you Princess. More than anything."
"I love you too my Prince." She closed her eyes. She was exhausted. It had been a hell of a day.
