Theres Always a Catch. (Austin Mahone One DirectionFAN FIC)

Love is in the air.

**** Stacys POV ****  

So two of my best friends are now in relationships with their dream guys. Teal is with Niall and Eli is with Austin. They didnt even have to tell me either. I walked in on Teal and Irishboy kissing and Harry told me Austin talks about Eli in his sleep so thats how the lads found out. Idiot.

While theyre all in love, Harry only makes a move when he's flirting. And now there are rumors going around that hes with damn Taylor Swift. If its true, Ill spend the rest of my life divulging in chocolate fountains and watching Titanic, The Vow, A Walk To Remember, and The Notebook.

I know I know. Im like the most independent girl in this competition, next to Eli. But I guess, Harrys had this effect on me. He acts different than other guys. Its been like 2 months since we started talking and now, I dont know what will happen.

I talked to Tommo and he said that Harry would be an idiot to not like me and shit like that. Instead of that making me feel better, it made me feel worse. I started comparing myself to other people like a dumbass.

Ya know how they say "The only guy I like I cant have"? Deffinitely how I feel. Back home, I had guys everywhere because Im so care free and I guess Im not ugly so yeah guys liked me. But Harry Styles is the hardest person to get. And though it pisses me off, I am going to try everything for him to be mine.

I know I sound like some psycho chick who's gonna end up with an unlimited supply of cats, who's gonna tell her grandkids about her teenage years and mine will revolve around trying to get a pop star to fall in love with me. But when that pop star is Harry Styles and your on X Factor and your dreams are in reach, you'll do whatever.

Simon is mad at us girls right now cause we all got in a huge fight over who gets the solo this week. So he let us off of rehearsal today so he doesn't flip out on us. Hopefully, well be different acts soon. The pressure of a group is so overwhelming.

Oh! So Liams writing a song about Genesis but he told me to keep it a secret. Its called 'She's Not Afraid'. If you've ever heard it, its the cutest thing he's ever done. He said he is planning on asking her out once he is sure she will trust him. Good luck.

Genesis is like the closest thing I have to a mom figure. Even though she's only a couple months ahead of me. She always makes sure every girl in the group is happy and pumped up before she checks herself. Everyone tells me they can see hurt in her eyes. But even if she is, no regular person would tell.  

Her curly black hair escalades down her back in one soft layer. She has virgin hair. So sad. Her light brown eyes that glow no matter what lighting she's in and the longest real eyelashes I've ever seen. They touch the edge of her perfectly sculpted eyebrows. She had braces for 3 years and a retainer for 2 taking up her whole middle school years and her freshman and sophomore year so she has perfect straight teeth. She really is perfect.

But even some of the prettiest girls have the ugliest scars.

She came up with the name of our group: Mixed Melodies. Just like Liam as Daddy Directioner, we call her Momma Melody. Even if we were to be solo acts on the competition, we could do YouTube videos as a group. Her idea not mine.

My point is, she's a tough nut to crack. I know her past. I feel bad for Liam. He's gotta get past years of hurt to gain her trust. She's never even had her first kiss, that's how much trust issues she has.

I've had a messed up past but not as bad as hers. Just hearing about it made me hold her while I cried. She sat there as if shed told the story a million times. Getting used to the pain. She never cut herself either. Thats a strong person.

Aside from Genesis, Harry wanted to take me out tonight. To go ice skating. Papparazi will be there snapping pictures and my death threats will be trending on Twitter by midnight. I was a figure skater for 2 years so I have skates and leg warmers.

He'd be picking me up in a half hour so Id better get ready. I straightened my hair and let my bangs fall because they looked pretty. I grabbed my black jeggings and grey leg warmers. Once I was done I had to choose my shirt. I decided on a grey longsleeve with my leather jacket. I grabbed a grey beanie and placed it on my head. I did my makeup earlier so that was done.

I walked around the room to search for my skates when there was a knock at the door. I remembered my skates were in the closet and walked over to get them. There was another knock on the door. I ran in my socks to the door and looked in the peep hole. 

Harry. Ten minutes early.

I opened the door and greeted him with a smile that he gladly returned to me. We could be faternal twins if we wanted to. Our smiles perfectly alike along with our eyes and the color of our hair.

"Hey you. Come on in. I'm almost ready. I have to get my skates and take a final look. Gimme 5?" 

"Of course, love" I left the door open for him to come in. I rumagged thru my closet to finally find my white skates with my name stitched in cursive on the heels.

I grabbed the skates and slippes them in my bag along with a couple hair ties, some scarves, mittens amd sweats. I get cold easily. I set the bag down and walked in to the bathroom to reapply some mascara and lip gloss.

I walked out and saw Harrys eyes watching my every move with a smile on his face. I realized that I was singing to myself and skipping and galloping like an idiot. Because, since he was being so quiet, I forgot he was here.

"Oh. Sorry" I let out a slight laugh and blushed at my awkwardness.  

"Your adorable." He came over and handes me my bag. "I'm happy were getting to spend some time together outside of this crazy competition." He kissed my cheek and as he turned around I blushed like crazy.  

He kisses me on the cheek many times but I felt attracted to him tonight.  

After the 5 minute ride to the skating rink down the street, I realized, it was empty. No people or papparazi. Just the workers and us two.

"Where is everyone." I asked Harry 

"Alone time. Means just me and you and a nice night out. I didnt want people like papparazi and fans to ruin that. Tonights a special night."

I looked at him with awe and he leaned in to kiss me, but I wasnt letting him in that easy. I ran to the bench to put on my skates and giggled as I ran. Thought I want to kiss him like crazy, I wasnt gonna show him that. If tonights gonna be that special hell get one at the end of the night. I put on my skated and laced them up to the top. Once I was done, I saw Harry almost finished so I got up and walked over to the ice.

I felt like I was where I belonged. Other than singing, skating is a passion that I lived for. I started skating and a the wind hit my face, like a cool breeze on a hot summer day. I skated the center and starting doing circles and leaps. I forgot Harry was watching me and started skating like there was no tomorrow. I never really tell people about how Im a good ice skater. Its been a secret since I was little.

I did some circles without stopping and letting my hands fall to my side as I did. And when I was done, I saw Harry staring at me like he had just seen boobs for the first time. Eyes wide and in shock. "Uhh, I didnt know you could do that."

"Theres a lot of things no one knows about me. Youve gtotta get close to me to figure them out." I winked at him as I skated towards him.

"I was gonna try and impress you but you got me beat."

I let out a slight laugh. I looked at his hand quizzicaly wondering why it was behind his back. He brought it out and had a rose. He got down on one knee and said the things Ive been wanting to hearn since we met.

"Stacy, I know weve known each other for like two months and thats not a vwery long tie to get to know a person but I feel like we have known each other for years and I just need to know right now in the perfect moment, will you be my girlfriend?"

I nodded my head furiously as he stood up with the hugest smile ojn his face and handed me the rose. I took the rose and looked at him. He leaned in close and said, "Can I tell you a secret?" I told him yes and put my ear up to his lips. I felt his cold hand on my chin as he turned it towards him, he gently layed his lips on top of mine and though it was a sweet kiss it sent chills thru my body making me the happiest ive been in a long time.

And in that moment I knew, I didnt just like this boy. I had an everlasting long need for him. I loved him.
