Restless [Reckless Sequel] || Harry Styles AU (DISCONTINUED)

5: the feeling

I glanced over at Jane, who was looking at me for the answer.

"Yeah, that sounds good. I'll grab someone from my band to play some guitar. Wanna meet me by the stage in twenty?"

"Sure."

I smiled. "Okay, see you there."

Justin turned around to head back to his dressing room. I took out my phone and sent a quick text to Devin while I blindly followed Jane.

I locked my phone after, making sure my ringer was on, and tucked it into my back pocket. Seconds after, I heard a chime, but it ended up being Harry's phone.

After reading whatever had popped up on his screen, he glanced over at me. "I have to go check up on something. Text me if you leave the stage before I get back."

I nodded, and he leaned over to kiss my cheek before walking away.

"You should get changed first. I'm sure your time with Justin will take you up until the meet and greets," Jane said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear that had gotten lose from her ponytail.

"Are Meredith and Caroline ready for me, or should I call them?" I asked. It was earlier than when I'd usually show up for wardrobe. I don't know how they'd react if I was early, or if they'd react at all, because I've never been early before.

"I think they're showing the new girl how things work. They'll be in there."

New girl? I didn't know there was going to be an addition to the crew. Maybe she came with Rocket Management.

"Don't keep Justin waiting," Jane called to me, just as I was about to walk into the hair/make-up room.

I didn't respond, and instead, scoffed to myself. This is my tour. I'll be late if I want to, thanks very much, Jane.

I didn't knock, just pulled down the handle and opened the door. I gasped in delight when I saw Caroline's hair.

"You cut it! It looks so gorgeous, oh my god!" I screamed, running over to her. I had her turn around so that I could see her new haircut from all angles. Her naturally curled hair was now much shorter, so that it poofed out.

"Aw, thanks, girl. I missed my afro," she chuckled, making her hair bounce.

I laughed, then noticed the "new girl" standing beside Meredith at the vanity. She was turned around, her mouth slightly agape. She had light brown hair and her skin was naturally tanned. She looked to be in her early twenties.
