Chapter Nine
"Star Girl"
NO DISCLAIMER!
Chrissie's POV
I supported my head against the window. The rain began to pour. Everything was grey. Colour had exited my life and I doubt it'll ever come back. My trip to the airport was taking longer than it should. Rush hour and the fact I had run the total oppisate way of the airport at first. I still wasn't used to London. It was far bigger to where I had previously lived.
"Em miss are you okay?" The cab driver asked me with concern in his eyes.
"Yeah, thanks." I sniffled. I looked up to the mirror in the front and noticed my eyes were red and puffy not to mention my complexion which was whiter than snow.
"You sure?" He pressed. I just nodded as a reply. I was too tired from crying to make a effort to lie.
Harry's POV
I carried Tom up the stairs. He was wreak. Poor Tom, he always blamed himself for things he didn't do or couldn't change. Tom was very emotional. Another reason Chris probably connected with him at the start. Guess that connection will be lost now due to her firey mouth. She never stops to think before she says something. She was blunt. Yes was yes and no was no. There was no such thing as maybe. If she said she wanted to do something she did it. There was no bull with her. She was bruatally honest hence why things got out of hand downstairs. She always had an opinion and if she knew something was right she'd make sure everybody else knew it was right too.
"Thanks Harry." Tom wispered while I sat him down on his bed.
"Tom no bother and look I want to apologize-"
"Apologize for what Harry? You did nothing wrong." He interjected.
"Well I wanna apologize for what Chris did. It was bang out of order. She always speaks without thinking. She's a bit of a loose cannon. She's totally unpredictable. I'm so sorry Tom. I really do honestly want to apologize for her behaviour. I'll kill her in the minute." I started but Tom shook his head.
"Kill her, you should be thanking her. She finally made me realise that Gio-" Pain cut through his eyes as he said her name. "That she wasn't the girl for me and that she was only using me. She deserves a medal."
"What?" I asked totally confused by his mood swing. He was smiling.
"I really want to thank her for giving me the push to jump instead of playing safe." I was totally lost as he was smiling now. Was he bipolar and I didn't know.
"Tom are you okay mate?"
"Yeah I'm just happy that I'm finally free." He chuckled to himself.
"Okay off to the loonet bin you go."
"Whatever Harry. Seriously I couldn't be more happier." A wave of relief washed through me as I could see the honesty in his eyes. If Tom was happy, I was happy. I hated seeing him hurt and I'm glad that arsehole is out of his life now as I didn't like her. She was two faced.
Suddenly Dougie burst in through the door frame. He was panthing.
"Doug, were you trying to run a marathon again?" I joked.
"Harry-" He panthed. "It's Chrissie, she's gone. I tried to stop her but God is she fast. Bella's in a taxi behind her because Chrissie jumped into one. Bella's in the airport now looking for her."
What? Chrissie leave, why? Oh shit the look I gave her. My mum is going to kill me. I have to find her.
"We have to find her. I'll never forgive myself if anything happens her. She's only 16!" I screamed. I was panicing, realising what was happening.
"Look Harry just calm down. Go to my car, We'll drive to the airport and split up to find her." Tom said calmly. He'd just broken up with his girlfriend over Chrissie and now he was out with us on a rescue search for her. He must be a saint.
"Come on!" Dougie urged. We ran down the stairs grabbing our wallets, phones and keys on the way out and headed to the airport.
Chrissie's POV
I jumped out of the taxi after paying the taxi driver and headed in the door that had "Departures" written over it. I needed to go home now more than ever. I saw the Aer Lingus desk and headed straight towards it. Obviously it was easier to get a flight to Ireland with an Irish airline.
"Can I have one way ticket to Cork please for the next flight." I asked polietly.
"I'll check first to see is there any available." She smiled.
"Yes it's your lucky day but the next flight isn't until tomorrow. You just missed the last flight by a couple of minutes sorry. Do you still want the ticket?" I groaned when I heard this.
"No thanks, I'll try Stanstead thanks." I quickly ushered out of the queue and decided to sit down for awhile before I headed on another journey. I was just about to get up again when a fimilar voice startled me.
"Running away? I thought you had better endurance than that." They said to me in a dissapointed tone.
"Well not everybody can be as pain enduring as you Harry." He placed a hand around my shoulder.
"Look I'm sorry for upseting you but I can't believe you ran away. Before we talk I think you should talk to Tom first. You owe him that much."
"Yeah, I do." I sighed and before I knew it I was in tears again. Harry held me tight against his chest trying to calm me. Eventually I calmed down and nodded when Harry aked me was I ready to go home. Next thing I knew the convorsation, not that we were talking much, was interrupted by Harry's phone going off.
"Yeah I got her Doug. We are at terminal one's main entrance outside. Okay mate, we'll meet ye there. Bye."
"Dougie?" I asked rethorically.
"We are to meet him by the car. Come on, let's go home." Was all he said as he directed me through the crowds in the direction of the car park. Tom was the only one by the car. I wondered where Dougie was.
"Bye Chris." He wispered in my ear after he kissed me on my head. He saluted Tomj and left. I was being stitched up. What a great ride home this is going to be.
AN: Okay hope ye all enjoyed this chapter. Please review. I'll do my best to update. Oh and Dougie if you're reading this Happy Birthday for tomorrow. Your legal in the States now! Hehe! Bye x
