Holly's POV

"So you're okay with it being filmed?" Liam asks as we get off the tour bus, with Harry trailing behind us. It's been two weeks. Two weeks of awkward talking and awkward eye contact and the shuffling of feet. Liam looks between Harry and I and rolls his eyes. Since his little blowup, Harry has completely separated himself from the group, as have I. But somehow Liam convinced me to come on this hike that he and Harry are going on for some tv special.

"Yeah sure but I just don't want to be on camera," I reply easily, although my stomach is full of nerves. Liam gives a slight nod.

"You got that guys." Ben Winston and he smiles.

"Don't worry about it Holly," he says.

"Good morning everyone, I am Luisa your tour guide for today," A middle aged woman in khakis approaches us. " Come let us explore Macchu Picchu," she gestures with her hands for us to follow behind us, and she starts walking. The five cameramen all behind us hoist their huge cameras on their shoulders and start walking next to Harry and Liam.

"A-and rolling," One of them shouts and Liam begins.

"So today we are going to hike up Macchu Picchu, aren't we Harry," Liam says to the camera. "Aren't we Harry," He repeats strongly after Harry dosen't reply.

"Yeah." Comes his response.

"We're so excited, come on!" Liam waves once more to the camera, before turning around.

"Cut." Ben says, and the camera men take down their cameras.

"Now be careful here please guys, this is a steep incline and the rocks aren't very stable," Luisa warns and begins climbing. I look up to see hundreds and hundreds of steep steps in front of me. Liam goes before me, and Harry goes after me, as I begin walking up the steps. Halfway up, I begin to lose balance but before I can teeter of the edge of the steps, I feel a hand placed on my lower back that stops me. I turn around to find Harry staring back at me, and quickly spin back round, this time taking the steps two at a time.

An hour later we reach the top, and my face is flushed and my feet are sore. I collapse down on the grass with Liam and Harry, and they film a bit of them talking about the show tonight. Expanse of sky lays before me, and I drift off into thought about the many centuries this mountain had been standing for.

"Alright thanks guys that was a really good set." Ben says, and the crew walk away chatting. 

"So," Liam turns to me. "I'm going to go."

"What why?" I hiss. "You can't just leave me alone here, especially with him." 

"Well you two need to sort this out, so I am going to go and talk to Luisa," Liam quickly stands up and runs away before I can stop him. I notice that Harry's eyes were following him go, and are now turned to me. I look around, pretending not to care.

"Um," He begins, and I snap my attention back to him.

"What?" I say.

"I," he stops again, and fiddles with the rings on his fingers. "I. I like you." He blurts out, and his face goes a cherry red. My jaw drops.

"Come again?" 

"Never mind. Actually forget what I said," He mumbles, and walks away.

"You didn't let me finish," I whisper.

"Love would you mind doing Harry? He's over there sulking in the corner." Lou calls out, as she sprays Louis' hair into place. 

"Sure," I reply, taking a deep breath and walking over. Soon after we talked, Harry left the hike and Liam and I went home together after finishing the hike. "Lou wants me to do your hair," I mutter to Harry. He looks up at me before rolling his eyes and looking down again. "Look. This is not what I want to do okay? This is my job and I need to get paid." I say, beginning to get frustrated. 

"Okay. Sorry." He stands up, knowing full well that he towers over me. 

"I can't do your hair when you're taller than me," 

"Well then why did you get me to stand up then?" Harry counters. He plonks himself back down on the chair. I play with his hair for a bit, before spraying some dry shampoo and lastly adding a bandanna to his hair. Since the first show when I did it, Harry wearing bandanna's has become quite a trend, and he now wears them almost every day. 

"Alright boys, time for the stage." Everyone moves into the under-stage room, where we quickly add finishing touches to the boys hair and clothes.

"Have a good show," I smile at Louis, and he smiles back.

"Thanks love," He says, and jumps just as I spray the hairspray. He shakes his head. "That, was a bad idea." I laugh and nod.The boys huddle in a circle.

"Three, two, one , WE PUSH,"  They shout, before getting in their places. 

"Up!" One of the stagehand yells, and they're catapulted up onto the stage. The stomping of the fans feet and the screams get louder as they sing they're songs. 

"How was your hike?" Poppy asks as we clean up.

"You don't want to know."
