Just friends?...yeah right...

Chapter 44

--Nour's P.O.V.--

"We're going to get one of the boys to open up for you." Paul said to me while we were all standing around backstage. I can't believe so many people are here to see the boys perform one song and talk about their journey. It's so fascinating how dedicated people are.

"You're on in five." Paul said. I nodded and watched Harry run out on stage. Why is he out there?

"Good afternoon Raleigh!!" Harry screamed through the microphone. The crowd cheered and roared and Harry smiled at the amount of people.

"I am here right now to introduce a very special young lady who is going to perform tonight." Harry spoke. Loud roars and screams were blurted out. He turned his head and looked over here. He winked and did his signature smile. "Her name is Nour Miller and you might know a bit about her simply because she is my best friend. I met her in a dance studio last year and may I say, her hips don't lie." I couldn't help but laugh at his corny little joke and the crowd laugh as well. "Ever since then she has been a part of our little group and has never failed to brighten up our days. So please welcome Nour Miller!" Harry said pointing to me.

"Go babe, good luck!" Liam said. I walked on stage and waved to the crowd. I took the microphone from Harry and he kissed my cheek. The crowd roared again.

"Thank you" I whispered.

"No problem" he said back. I kissed his jaw and watched him awkwardly run backstage. There was a stool and a mic stand set up for me.

"Hey guys!" I said, sitting down.

Cheers erupted.

"I'm Nour Miller, and I think Harry might have exaggerated about the whole dancing thing." The crowd laughed. "I do like to dance very much and that is how we met. He is an amazing dance partner by the way. He introduced me to the rest of the boys and ever since then we've all been the best of friends." More cheers. "I'm going to start with some Ed Sheeran today because well...I love him." I guess they agree from all the screams. I nodded towards Josh telling him to start with the first song. This should be fun. "They want to see you succeed." Harry's words continued to ring in my head.

*********

"Thank you everybody! This was a dream!" I blew a kiss and made my way off stage. The boys met me half way and we each gave each other a kiss on the cheek which sent the crowd wild.

"You did wonderful." Harry whispered.

"Thank you" I smiled and he kissed me again on the forehead. I went backstage to watch the boys perform. Liam started off the song so I just sat down to watch. Harry ran back stage and held my shoulders.

"Go on a date with me." Harry said.

"Harry! Go on stage before you get in trouble!"

"I'm not going up there until you agree to go on a date with me." Harry said again.

"Okay, Okay! Just go before you miss your solo!!"

"Thank you" he ran back on stage just in time for his part.

Did he just ask me on a date? Did I just agree?

"Oooooooh" Dani said behind me.

"Oh just shut up!" I said making her and Eleanor laugh.

"I'm going to have to have a talk with him." Scott said. My brother is so protective.

"I got him bro, don't worry."

"Do you remember what happened the last time you said that?" he asked seriously. Eleanor put her hand on his shoulder trying to calm him down. I can't believe he just brought up me being raped. I've gone this whole year trying to forget about it but every stranger that touches me sends me chills. I will NEVER be the same again all thanks to some douche I dated. I turned around to pay attention to the boys telling their audience about their journey.
