The same moon

Chapter 4

*EVELYN'S POV*

When we finished eating, I put everything away and cleaned up. Then I noticed the time. "Shit"

"Is everything okay?" He sounded genuinely concerned. It was weird, but it was nice.

"Um yeah I just didn't realise the time. I have to join my class." With that being said I ran upstairs to grab my guitar and my laptop and came straight back down to see Harry spinning on his chair. He clearly didn't see me when I came in because I started laughing and his head snapped up to look at me in shock. He then eventually started laughing with me.

"Oh, so you play guitar huh" he said whilst stopping himself spinning.

"Oh, yeah the class is music and I have an exam so I have to perform a song... and you're not allowed to judge me Mr Styles because otherwise you are going to have to leave."

"I won't, I won't, I promise."
He put his arms up above his head and let out a small chuckle.

"Good" I said with a smile. I then set up my laptop on the kitchen table, so that I was facing away from Harry unable to see his reaction and joined my class.

A few people performed their pieces and they were pretty good but it meant that it was now my turn.

I picked up my guitar and was ready to sing, but then my hands started to shake and my heart started to pound.
No. Not now. This can't be happening now. I can't believe I didn't think that it would be like the other times.

" sorry Miss, is it okay if I go after a few more people?"

I turned my camera off, put my guitar down, and dropped my head into my hands.

I knew that I wasn't going to be able to play but this exam was way too important to just give up.  I had to pick another song without the guitar and the only one that came to my mind that I knew inside and out was Sign of the Times .... by Harry Styles.

At that moment I felt a hand on my shoulder, making me lift my head to see Harry himself sitting right in front of me.

"Evelyn are you alright?"

And that was it. Those four words. Those four evil words.

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I just broke down.

"Hey, hey it's alright." He said wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into a tight hug so I could cry into his shoulder.

We then broke away from the hug and he sat in front of me doing all he could to help.

"Okay Evelyn, just breathe with me. Ready?"
I nodded slightly, wiping the tears away from my eyes.

"In...... out.......in.......and out"

I finally calmed down and built up the courage to sing.

Harry sat back down when I told my teacher that I was ready to perform and I turned my camera on.

In front of me was my laptop screen where I could see the faces of everyone in my class who had all just performed amazing pieces of music, but I had to get that out of my head because I am not them. All I need to focus on at this moment is me and this song.

*play Sign of the Times by Harry Styles*

I pressed play and the intro to sign of the times started playing. My hands instantly started to shake again so I turned to look back at Harry which was the best idea since his smile and reassuring nod gave me the confidence I needed. I turned back around, took a deep breath and shut my eyes.
