I stared down at my phone, slow, like I was watching a countdown. Georgia did the same. The screen glowed in her eyes.
“Niall… They…” she breathed, voice caught in her throat. “Did they actually…?”
“Uh huh.” I nodded, still feeling like I was underwater.
We locked eyes, then she started to cry. Tears spilled down her face, silent at first, then a choked sob escaped her lips. Our phones blew up with notifications. People followed us, liked our tweets, retweeted photos, and the comments section went ballistic. DMs flooded in. I switched my phone to Do Not Disturb.
“I think… I think I’m gonna be sick.” The words felt numb.
Georgia fell into my arms, burying her face in my shoulder. She sobbed, a shaking mess of happiness and shock. I just stood there, frozen, holding her.
We stayed like that for fifteen minutes, maybe longer. It felt like an eternity. Finally, she pulled back and reached for her phone again.
“They’re live on Instagram.”
“I need to…” I mumbled, barely loud enough for her to hear.
“Where are you going?”
“Somewhere to lose my mind for a few minutes. Before I actually *lose* my mind.”
“Okay… I’m just gonna go watch their live.”
“Yeah. Go ahead.” I turned and headed towards my closet.
Inside, I grabbed black skinny jeans and pulled on one of Louis’ merchandise sweaters. It smelled like him—coffee and something sweet.
I heard Georgia talking, but I didn’t pay attention. I sprayed myself with cologne, a habit I’d picked up from my dad, and walked back out.
As soon as I saw Georgia, I froze. She was staring at me, eyes wide, a weird expression on her face.
“Hey Haz…” she said nervously.
“Why are you… do I even *want* to know what you’re doing?” My voice was flat, laced with suspicion.
“Uh… well—” She was stuttering, which wasn’t like her. She always had a cool, calm composure.
“Yeah, I’m guessing this is because of the follow spree. You’re creeping me out, so I’m gonna go.” The words came out clipped, questioning. I didn’t want to admit I was scared.
Before she could respond, I turned and walked out the door, heading for my car.
*Georgia’s POV*
I watched Harry leave, feeling a weird mix of guilt and amusement.
“It’s kinda funny, thousands of people just heard that and he doesn’t even know…” I muttered to myself.
My thoughts were cut off by a burst of laughter. I glanced back at my phone. They’d asked me to join their live.
Talking to One Direction.
On their Instagram live.
With thousands of people watching.
I scanned the comments—a flood of laughing emojis and questions: “Who is Harry?” “Who is Georgia?”
“Is he gone?” Louis asked, practically pouting.
“Yeah, he’ll probably be gone for a while.”
“Why?”
“Well, you all know how we’re really big fans?”
“Yeah.” Louis replied, confused.
“Harry has this thing where he dissociates until he can actually process what’s happening. That’s what he’s doing right now.”
“I have to do something.” I mumbled getting up just low enough so she could hear.
“Where are you going?”
“Somewhere that’s gonna get my mind off things until i can come to reality..”
“okay.. i'm just gonna go on their live.”
“yeah, you go ahead and do that” I replied going to my closest
When I got to my closet I changed into black skinny jeans and one of Louis' merchandise sweaters.
I heard Georgia talking to someone but payed to attention to it.
I sprayed myself with my cologne and walked out of my closet.
As soon as I saw Georgia I froze.
“Hey Haz..” she said nervously
“why are you.. do I even wanna know why you're acting like that.” I asked hesitation clear in my tone
“uhh.. well- i-" she was stuttering a lot.. that's not like her
“yeah i'm gonna guess this is because the whole follow spree.. your weirding me out now.. so i'm gonna go.." my tone came out very 'duh' but at the same time questioning.
Before she even had time to respond I was out of the door and on my way to my car.
*Georgia’s POV*
I stared at Harry as he left the room.
“It’s kinda funny at the fact thousands of people just heard that and he doesn’t even know..” I mumbled.
My thinking got cut off when I heard laughing and I looked back at my phone.
They asked me to join their live so here i was.
talking with one direction.
on their instagram live.
with thousands of people.
I looked at the comments and saw a bunch of laughing facing and a bunch of people still asking things like 'who is harry' and 'who is Georgia'
“is he gone?” Louis asked almost pouting which made me smile.
“yeah, he will probably be gone for a while” I replied which got confused facing from them all.
“why” I heard them all ask.
“Well you all know how we are really big fans?”
“yeah” Louis replied
“Well Harry does this thing where he busies himself until he comes to realization of what's going on. So that's what he's doing.”
“Oh.. what do you think he’s doing?” Louis asked
“why you wanna know” Liam asked teasingly.
“Um- I- I just wanted to know I guess- I- Why can’t I just ask” Louis stuttered as he blushed and got a little defensive.
I laughed as they bickered but Niall soon cut them off.
“So Georgia”
My heart stopped
“yeah?”
“You said this is Harry’s way of reacting, what’s yours?” Niall asked and I immediately blushed and looked down.
“I’d rather not say..”
“oh come onnn” he replied dragging out the ‘n’
eventually I gave in and told them I had cried in Harry’s arms for fifteen minutes as he stared at the wall in shock.
“wait what?” Niall said at the same time Louis said “Harry was holding you?”
“uh.. yeah?” I answered unsure
“are you and Harry like.. together?” Louis asked right away
I stared at him as shock as Liam and Zayn laughed and Louis and Niall stared at me waiting for the answer like their life depended on it.
“You sound a bit jealous Lou you alright?” Zayn chuckled before I could answer.
“shut up” he muttered and looked back at me.
“Me and Harry?” I asked and eventually bursted out laughing. “that’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.”
“so are you guys-” Niall and Louis started when Zayn and Liam cut them off
“No they’re not dating”
“just wondering..” Niall muttered
“No Harry is definitely in lov- I shouldn’t say that actually he would kill me.” I chuckled
“What about Harry?” Louis immediately asked after
“don’t worry about it. I should let you guys get back to your live.” I smiled
“what? no” Niall said immediately
“Wait what about Harry!” Louis yelled
“Talk to you soon” Liam and Zayn laughed
I laughed as I left the live and when I triple checked to make sure I was off of it.. I may have screamed into Harry’s pillow but nobody needed to know that..
