"Hey (y/n) are you ready to go?" Niall asks me. We are headed to the award show for the boys. Although I'm not dating any of them, Niall is my best friend. We've been best friends since freshmen year of high school, once he started the X factor we started drifting apart. So we made sure that we would hang out as much as possible. So Niall wanted to make sure I go to each and every award show and all their tours. It's been a crazy year. There were three rumors in 4 months. It was Niall and I were dating, Zayn and I were dating and Harry and I were dating which he seemed to hate a lot. Harry doesn't even like me, he has said it time and time again that he hates me. 
"Yeah, lets go" I tell Niall as I check my makeup one last time. I follow behind him and the rest of the boys. Harry looks at me, I see him almost smile but he rolls his eyes and looks at Louis. 
"Why does Harry hate me?" I whisper to Niall. 
"He doesn't hate you! Would you stop asking me" Niall laughs. 
"Then why does he act so mean around me and treat me like crap" 
"He doesn't do that" 
"He does Niall....he is always saying how he hates me, I mean he has never said it to my face but I've heard him tell people" 
"I promise he doesn't hate you, no matter how bad he treats you, he doesn't hate you" he smiles and I slouch. 
"Promise?" I ask with a pout. 
"Promise" he pokes my lips and I smile. We get in the limo and drive off. Niall, Liam and I sit on one side, Louis, Zayn and Harry sit on the other side. Harry sits right in front of me and I shiver as his eyes glare at me. 
"So, what are you guys nominated for?" I ask. 
"Best artist of the year and best song of the year, wow (y/n) you wanted to come with us and you didn't even know?!" Harry snaps at me. 
"No one had told her yet Harry" Niall tells him and Harry rolls his eyes. 
"Do you think your going to win?" I ask Niall ignoring Harry. 
"Hopefully, our fans are really devoted." 
"I can tell" I laugh. 

Harry's POV 

"I can tell" (y/n) laughs and I smile at her. Her laugh is adorable. Her face is beautiful, everything about her is amazing. I love her so much its ridiculous. But theres no way I could ever be with her, I think she likes Niall which makes since, they've been bestfriends for like 8 years. So, the only way I can think of to stop loving her is to hate everything about her or atleast pretend. I just want to grab her and kiss her and tell her how I feel, pretending to hate her it exhausting. I have to glare at her, I have to make ruid comments to her, I have to avoid her when all I want to do is hold her hand and kiss her. But that will never happen because one day Niall will work up the courage to ask her out and that will be it. I never believed in love at first site until I saw her. Until the moment she walked in with Niall at the X factor house. I roll my eyes at her when she looks at me and then look at Liam. 
"Hey Liam, you wanna sit by me at the awards?" I ask hoping he says no so that (y/n) and I can sit next to each other. 
"Sure" he says. And I smile hiding the fact that I don't want to sit by him. 
"Were here" the driver said. Liam and Niall get out followed by (y/n) and then Zayn, Louis and then me. (y/n) wraps her arm around Niall's and I sigh. 
"What's wrong mate, you've been weird all night" Zayn asks me, 
"You know why, you're the only person I've told." I look at him. 
"You liking (y/n)?" he asks. 
"Yes, god. I love her so much but she can never know that" 
"Why not?" 
"Because I'm pretty sure Niall likes her" 
"How do you know" 
"The way there always on each other or talking to each other" I crinch. 
"Harry, they're best friends. Of course their going to be always around each other. She's most comfortable around Niall because she's known him for so long. And she certainly wouldn't be around you, you treat her like a rat." 
"Only because I like her so much" 
"Then ask her out" 
"I can't, Niall likes her" 
"Yeah, no," he laughs. "He said that he sees her as a sister." 
"Are you sure?" 
"Yes mate. Just do it." he pats me and walks inside. I follow in slowly and then we are directed to our seats. When we sit down, Niall sits next to (y/n), then Liam sits on Niall's other side, then Zayn and then Louis which lets me sit next to (y/n). Its like it was meant to be. I hear (y/n) scoff and turn to Niall. She hates me and I hate myself for treating her so badly. 
"Hello and welcome to..." i stopped listening because all I can think of is (y/n) and what if she says no, what if she laughs in my face? 
About an hour goes by of them giving out awards and then going to commercial until they bring up the nomines for best song of the year. 
"And the nomines are.." the announcer says, (y/n) grabs my hand and I look down at it with a smile. She looks at me then her hand on mine and pulls it away. 
"Sorry" she apologize and looks at the stage. 
"One Direction, Steal my girl...Taylor Swift Blank Space.." the annoucer finishes. "And the winner is...One Direction" the crowd roars. The boys and I stand up along with (y/n). She hugs Niall and then me, I linger a little to long and she pulls away. I walk down the row and go to the stage. Liam takes the award and goes to the mike. 
"This is incredible. Thank you all so so much. We want to thank you so the producers, our managers, our parents, Simon Cowell and most importantly our fans. We couldn't be here without you guys. We love you!!" then we follow Liam off the stage. We go back to our seats and (y/n) gives everyone a hug besides me and that makes me what to cry a little. 
We win artist of the year and then after the awards we head home. (y/n) decides to stay with us over night and I am more than excited. We all sit down and watch a movie together. 
"Could you please move over" I snap at (y/n) breaking my heart. 
"Sorry" she squeaks. 
"Dude whats your problem?" Niall asks. 
"Shes in my space." I tell him and he rolls his eyes. 
"Come with me" Niall grabs my arm and takes me outside to the porch. 
"I don't understand what problem you have with (y/n) but you need to get over it right now! She told me that you are mean to her and I didn't want to believe it until now." he says to me. 
"I don't have a problem with her Niall. None, I can't find one thing wrong with the girl" 
"Then why are you such a dick to her?" 
"Because...I'm in love with her Niall" I say a little louder then I thought. 
"Wh-what?" he steps back. 
"I'm sorry but I've been in love with her since I met her but I thought you liked her so I tried to distance myself from her" 
"Harry, I love her too but not the way you love her. She's like my little sister. You went to all this trouble for 4 years for nothing mate" he laughs. I stay quiet and just look at him. "You have my blessing. Now stop being a dick to her" he goes back inside. 
"Harry! Thats it! I need some explanation for the way you treat me! I don't know what I did to make you hate me so much!" (y/n) comes out yelling and without any hesitation I grab her face, my hands on either side of her face and kiss her. She tries to pull away but then melts into me, grabbing the sides of my shirt. The boys clap and I smile still kissing her. 
"Finally!" Zayn shouts and then (y/n) laughs inbetween kissing me. 
"I love you so much (y/n)" I whisper and she kisses me again.
