A Moment Like This - Harry Styles Love Story.*ON PERMANENT HIATUS*

~7~

*Louis Tomlinson*

I ran to catch up with my short freind, so that we could have a meaningful talk. She was suprisingly fast for a 5'3" tall girl, and made it into her dressing room several minutesbefore i did. I was buttoning up my shirt when Allison came in, already in her dress with her hair up.

"You look lovely."

"Oh, shut up Louis. Help me with your belt, and tuck your damn shirt in now!" she said, finishing buttoning my shirt and hurrying me along.

"Yes mother- ouch!" I said as she roughly thrust my jacket into my hands.

"Finish getting into that tux RIGHT NOW, OR I WILL CUT OFF OF YOUR BALLS, TOMLINSON!" I shivered at the thought. "And no complaining about it, this dress is itchy!" she said, motioning to it [polyvore] I slipped my jacket on, and Allison set to work tying my tie. After doing so, she sat on the chair next to me, satisfied. Her entire demeanor had changed from when she was onstage, her somewhat sad persona dissapearing into her fussy, mothering manner. it was such a turn emotionally, that I dropped the bombshell question without even thinking about it.

"Are you okay?" she stiffened, and her voice was raw as she answered.

"N-no" I could practically hear the sob building in her throat. I pulled my arm around her.

"What happened? Haters?"

"No, the fans have been fine. well, except for one." she gave a breathy, sarcastic laugh. "My ex crush is in the audience. We were practically dating for a month. We've both admitted feelings for each other, and he dumped me this morning." her hands went up to her eyes to blot out the tears that threatened.

"Its okay, we've all been through some bad breakups."

"Mhm, thats true. but seeing him out in that audience is just killing me. I dont know how he did it, but Tyra let me know as I got off stage that as soon as he heard that I was performing tonight, he got second row seats. Apparently he wanted to make sure I cried over him all day." she again gave that sarcastic laugh. "But you know what? Thank you, because if you guys hadn't found me, I would have cried over him all day." I rubbed her shoulders.

"Was the break up that bad?"

"When he gives you a two page letter saying what you need to do better with people and that he was basically lying about wanting to be with you, yeah. It's still a fresh wound."

"He broke up with YOU via a letter? Is that some kind of joke?"

"No. I wish it was, but like I said before, he just wants to see me cry about it. He wants the satisfaction and power of seeing me cry. He brought a girl with him tonight, Lou, and he kissed her infront of me." she shook her head, running to a mirror to check on her makeup. "He just wants to see me cry, and I'll be damned if I give him that satisfaction."

"Need help with any revenge prospects?" I grinned evily, and she returned that look, a plan formulating itself in her head.

"Go tell the band to figure out a new song for after Skyscraper. Its a good thing Caroline chose this dress."

"Why?" she smirked.

"It has a secret."

*Allison Edwards*

Louis helped me push the piano out.

"I'll go give them the new sheet music. They can figure it out by themselves." he said. "Skyscraper gives them time." the stage lights were dimmed so that it was harder for us to be seen. A techie walked out with the piano bench and a mic for me.
