Eve POV

Me: he isn't home?

Liam: hasn't been for hours

I shrug to myself and lean back on the bed I'm sitting on. My feet tall against the carpet floor and I can feel my heart rate start to increase.

Me: thank you

Liam: ofc. Let me know if he comes to the hotel please

Me: I will

I lock my phone and tug my hand through my hair.

I've been having Liam text me updates every hour or so letting me know if Harry's at the house. According to Liam, he hasn't been home since 2:30, and that was when Harry's car was last seen in the driveway.

It's ten at night now and I'm about to lose my mind. I've been tempted to call my Dad to see if I can bring Avery over so I can go search for my husband who may or may not be dead.

I stand up from my bed and walk towards the living room. My hand is tugging through my hair and I feel sick. I feel like throwing up, passing out, and having a panic attack all in one.

A clicking sound by the front door makes my stomach drop and twist, all in one sitting. I slowly walk over to the door and bite my lower lip.

It's soon pulled back, and all I hear is keys being dropped. I take a better look and see it's Harry who entered the hotel. "The front desk gave me the other room card," He tells me.

Anger but relief rushes through my body. "Where have you been?" I ask my husband. I walk over to him, but keep my space.

"Well, I was at the house until 2:30ish and that's when I got the call saying Champs has been once again vandalised. So, I drove to the restaurant, saw that the door was just broken and ordered another one. While I was going back to my car, I saw that all four of my tires were slashed. By the time that happened, my phone died. So, I needed to take my car to an auto shop for new tires, which took hours to find one because they were all busy and or closed. Plus my tires, I found out are "costume" so they took an hour finding my type of tires in New York

It took them like five hours to fix it, and by the time they did it was eight o'clock. There was traffic here, and I just was overall annoyed so I got McDonalds and waited it out," Harry explains. "I got you food too as well as Avery," He says while putting the bag on the table beside him.

I stare at my husband and bite my lip. "You couldn't call me?" I ask. "Pay phones? The restaurant has a phone," I say.

"I know this sounds bad, but I don't know your number off of the top of my head," Harry admits.

"My number is in the office in Champs, right under yours for emergencies," I say.

"Since when did we have that?" His eyebrows knot at me. My head shakes and I close my eyes. "Did I scare you?"

"Yes!" I exclaim. "I've had Liam go to the house three different times seeing if you're there, I've also had him see if your car came back at all. I thought something happened to you, and I feel sick,"

His arms wrap around my waist and my head buries into his chest. "I'm sorry," He says in a gentle voice.

"I thought I lost you," I say with stinging eyes. My voice is choked up and my breaths are uneven.

"You can't get rid of me yet," My husband jokes. I shake my head against him and hold onto his body more. "I love you,"

"I love you more," I reply in a sad voice. He scared the living shit out of me.

***

We're in bed now, laying down. Avery is still sleeping, which is good because she had some jet lag on the plane and all.

Max is in our bed now, which makes me snicker. He's laying down beside me, but has his head in my chest. I grin at my dog and kiss the top of his head.

My husband wraps his arms around me more tightly, making my body feel relaxed. "Is the house okay now?" I ask timidly.

"Yeah," He answers. "The security cameras are being installed tomorrow. So, I have to be there at five,"

"I'm going with you," I say.

"No, you're staying here," Harry hums back.

"No I'm not," I tell him. He lets out a deep breath and holds me more. "I'm not letting you out of my sight for a while,"

"Okay," Harry says. He kisses the back of my head then my neck. "I love you,"

"I love you too," I say through a muffled yawn.
I look over to Max who's staring up at me. He licks my face which makes me laugh. "I love you too Max," I say to my dog.

Harry and I spend a few more minutes talking before we both fall asleep.
