"Okay January, you know this okay?" Harry reassured me, it was the ad break and I was about to come on.
"Harry what if I..." I began but he raised a finger to my lips.
"You'll be perfect okay, just like you've been all week," he promised.
I glanced down at the short dress I was wearing and pulled it down self conciously, Harry smiled,
"You look amazing," he said, and I gave him a shy smile.
"January, you're on," one of the crew called, I took a deep breath and Harry put his hands on my shoulders and I looked deeply into his piercing eyes. My heart beat increased, and my breathing caught.
"Harry, I..." I began.
"Thirty seconds let's go, let's go!" the crew member cried and I rushed out to the platform in the middle of the stage.
"Simon, introduce your act," I heard Dermot from the bottom of the stage.
"She may be the last girl standing but she's the best, January Bellame." Simon said, and the pre-recorded tape began to play as I re-rehearsed the steps in my head
I was midsong, when I seen him, I would recognise those anywhere. Darren, I nearly fell over the only thing that kept me going was the words to the song being sang into my ear by a pre-recorded track.
I continued with song, but I was watching him standing there watching me, 'and let me kiss you!' I finished and immediatley they cut to ads.
Harry rushed on stage along with the stage crew,
"are you okay?" they all demanded, checking me over.
I saw Harry at the edge of the mass of people around me, I pushed thorugh them and grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him close enough for me to whisper in his ear.
"He's found me Harry," I whispered, "He's here Harry, it's Darren. He's here."
