Fate

Chapter One

Elena's POV

The roar of the crowd was so loud I could hardly hear myself think. I still couldn't believe it; I was at a One Direction concert! I stood in row 3 with my best friend Charlotte next to me. We waited eagerly for the boys to come onstage. We had been fans for years, and had saved up all the money we made so we could get seats this good. And now, here we were, in London, England waiting to see the boys perform. I still couldn't quite believe it.

Suddenly, the boys ran onto the stage, and the crowd went wild.

"Hello!" Louis said. "How is everyone tonight?" There was another thunderous scream from the audience. "Great," he said with his cheeky grin. Then Harry stepped forward.

"Welcome everyone," He said, and my heart nearly jumped into my throat. "The boys and I are very excited to be here, and we hope you enjoy the show!" From that moment on, I couldn't take my eyes off Harry. Okay, so, I had an enormous crush on him, as I'm sure many other people in the crowd did. I mean, how couldn't you just adore him, with his beautiful brown curls, deep green eyes, his long tapered piano fingers...

It was then that I realized they had started their first song, "Na Na Na". Charlotte and I danced along to the beat, and sang along to all the words, enjoying every second. Charlotte was practically screaming the words; this was her favorite song of theirs.

The song ended and they then began "One Thing". I began singing the words with them again, all through the song. This was one of my favorite songs of theirs, and it had been the first song of theirs I ever listened to. I'll admit, it was a somewhat sentimental song for me, just because it was the song that made me discover One Direction, and of course after listening to "Gotta Be You" and "Moments", I had instantly fell in love. Especially with Harry's gorgeous voice. It was so deep and husky and-

Wait, what? I peered up at the stage, returning to the present. Had Harry just... Looked at me? I kept a close eye on him, wondering if the light was playing tricks. They began nearing the end of the song, and I'll admit I was a bit disappointed. So it had been the lights-

No! He did it again! I could tell this time, he looked straight at me, his eyes lingering for a few seconds before he looked away. I blushed and looked down at the ground, and then suddenly over at Charlotte to see if she had noticed. But no, she was obliviously staring at Liam, her favorite of the band. I decided not to bring it up; she might think I was being silly.

*After the Concert*

Charlotte and I walked up to the crowded table, my heart pumping fast in my chest. What would it be like, to actually meet him? Harry had kept looking at me, through the entire concert. During his solo in "What Makes You Beautiful" his eyes were trained on me the whole time. It made my heart flutter hard in my chest. And now, here I was, going to meet him. I was a bit nervous, to be honest. Charlotte, however, looked ecstatic. She was over the moon about getting to meet Liam. We reached the crowd around the table, and waited our turn.

After what seemed like an eternity, we finally got up to the table. Charlotte immediately started talking animatedly to Liam, who was smiling up at her. I took a deep breath and walked down the table to Harry.

"Hi," I said quietly. He looked up at me, his emerald green eyes slowly looked up and stopped on my face. He didn't say anything for a second, and then recognition showed on his face before it broke into a huge smile.

"Hello. Nice to meet you," He said.

*Harry's P.O.V.*

I looked up at the next fan who had arrived at the table. My heart just about stopped. It was her; the beautiful girl from the audience. It took my a second to remember how to talk.
