P.S. Im seeing Harry next month WTF.

Evelyn's POV

Today's the first day of opening on tour, I'm currently getting all my bags together to take to the arena to put in my dressing room. I haven't really spoken to anyone today apart from my team and band.

I arrive at the arena with way too many bags, that I probably didn't need but id rather be safe and not have to panic last minute. I stop in my tracks for a quick second and take in the surroundings of Basel, Yes I've been a model for many years and yes I've travelled a lot but I've never really taken in my surroundings, but I feel like I should over the next 6 months because ill never be at this point in life again.

After taking a deep breath of fresh air, I head towards the backstage doors. I was told everyone would be here by now for soundchecks even Harry and his team. The crowd tonight is 15,000 people and it's freaking me out the more I think about it.

I spot Anita ( my assistant and best friend) standing about 100 feet from me, I quickly head towards her to which she lifts her head and sees me. "LYN, HII." she practically shouts, I roll my eyes at her and give her a small smile and nod before I ask if she can grab a bag and show me where my dressing room is.

Anita shows me to the dressing room and I flop straight onto the couch, just as I hear her speak up. "So, how are you feeling? I expected you to be freaking out more?" She questions with a suspicious look on her face. I sit up and rest my elbows on my knees and respond. "Oh I'm freaking out, I'm just great at acting cool Nita." Finishing my sentence with a slight smirk on my face so she knows I'm taking the mick out of her. She laughs and rolls her eyes before heading back out the door.

As she exits, I lay back down on the couch and take a few deep breaths.

I'm fine, ill do fine. There's nothing to be stressed about Evelyn.

I repeat to myself what feels like hundreds of times.

"You'll be fine, Evelyn. It's intimidating but they'll love you." I hear a very familiar British voice speak. I sit up and furrow my eyebrows before giving him a slight smile.

"I know...I know." I repeat. "15,000 people, that's a lot, a hell of a lot."

"It is, yes it is. But hey what's the worse that can go wrong? You mess up a lyric or two?" He stops for a second before he walks into the room from the door frame he previously stood at and headed towards the small armchair across from the couch I'm sitting on. "I mean, or they could hate you..." I raise my head and look at him with my eyebrows raise. "Wow Harry, thank you," I say with a slight chuckle.

'I'm joking Lyn, they'll love you. You'll do great. When I did my X-Factor audition, I was terrified so the one piece of advice my mum gave me was" He stops for a second and looks like he's thinking about the delivery of the sentence he's going to say. "She said, think of everyone in the audience as if they are naked, then you have no reason to be embarrassed or nervous, cause I mean look at them" I let out a laugh and look back at him to see that he has a huge grin on his face, making his eyes go small and his dimples show.

"You really are funny Harry," I state still with a smile plastered on both of our faces. "I get it from my mum if you couldn't tell" He responded while standing up, "We both have a show to get ready for, so I'll see you out there Evelyn." Harry exists the room but not before turning around a speaking one more time, "You'll really do great, get out of your head and go break a leg" He smiled for a second and pointed at me "That rhymed, and OH don't actually break a leg, please. We need you out there on two legs." I laughed and gave him a thumbs-up before he walked off and I closed my dressing room door.
