Gotta be you... because nobody compares

Acceptance and Rejection

---Adelaide's POV---

I walked into Mr. Adams' office. There was Mr. Adams himself sitting on the couch, Simon was in the seat behind the desk. As I walked in further, I noticed the boys were there as well, standing right behind Simon. All five of them. Harry looked sad, Liam's expression I just couldn't read, and the other boys smiled and waved at me.

"Hello Miss Thomson," Simon greeted. I waved at him.

"Well, let me begin by again saying how much I enjoyed your performance. May I say, You and Harry had some good chemistry," I didn't dare to look at any of the boys. Especially Liam. Simon continued, "You definately have a future in singing. However,..." oh no... here it goes again. Rejection. I looked up at Harry. This time he was looking straight at me. He knew if I got rejected one more time I'd probably ball out here infront of everyone. "However, I can't immediately put a label on it and give you a record. We have to see how crowds will accept you first. SO... I've decided you could be the boys opening act for when they go on tour. what do you say?"

"Will it Pay?" I asked bluntly. I couldn't beat around the bush. My brother needed surgery... I needed to pay the bills. Simon became very quiet. I got nervous... was I rude?

"Could everybody please leave me and miss Adelaide to talk in private please" oh no. What was he gonna tell me? My heart was racing as everyone walked out. Harry didn't look at me at all. Ugh I wish he'd talk to me. Once me and Simon were along he began to speak.

"Adelaide, Harry told me about your... situation. Please don't be upset with him for telling me. You are a singer, who moved across the country to use your talent so that you could help your family who is in need.... THAT my dear is what an artist is. Harry told me that the surgeries are quite pricy. However, If you decide to go on tour with us... We will pay for your brothers expenses. plus some extra for your personal expenses." My tears were blocking my vision. This was really happening, my brother was gonna get the help he needed, and I was going to live my dream. Harry... He did this. He was truely my hero.

"Thank you very much Simon. I am forever grateful. This means the world to me" I choked out. We signed some papers and shook hands. He told me that the day after tomorrow was the first performance here in New York.  I needed to pack everything I owned because after that we were officially kicking off the rest of the cross country tour. My life was taking an amazingly good turn.

Once in my room, I called up my mom. She was proud. I talked to my brother and told him he was going to be ok. I told him that THE HARRY STYLES was both of our super hero.

"does he wear a cape?" He asked. I laughed, his small voice comforted me.

"no, but I'll make him one. How about that?"

"Yeah, a superhero needs his cape Addy"

"yes he does Matty, hey, I'll call you later tomorrow ok? Tell mom I said goodbye and that I love ya'll both ok" We soon hung up. My brother was going to be ok. Thanks to Simon... and Harry. I was going to text him, but that's when I heard a knock on the door. Again, I didn't look through the peephole. When I opened it, I smiled widely. It was Harry.

"what did Simon say?" He asked cooly, I suddenly wrapped my arms around him. I wanted to kiss him, I wanted him to hold me tightly. But he didn't even wrap his arms around me. He just stood there.

"I-I am going on tour with ya'll. and Matty's getting all his medical bills paid for. It's all really happening Harry, Because of you. You are making my dreams come true." He smiled. A weak smile but a smile none the less. I wanted to take advantage of this moment. "Do you want to come in, Maybe grab some dinner or something?"

"uummm I can't. I gotta go meet up with management. Our performance is the day after tomorrow. So i gotta go prepare for that with the lads." I wanted to tear up. He didn't even say goodbye, He just turned and walked towards the elevator. There went my Hero. Not wanting to spend one more minute with me.

---Harry's POV---

I lied. There was no meeting with management. Why was I being such an Idiot. I just walked away, blowing her off. I wanted to hold her and tell her I always believed in her. To tell her it was HER making her dreams come true. But I couldn't bring myself up to it. I didn't know if she was still interested at all in Liam. If the answer was yes, I didn't want to know about it.

Niall had came up to me and told me he had found her on the staircase. He told me he helped her up and that she had been crying. I hurt her. She hurt me. What should I do? I didn't know. We were all going to be on tour together. Her, Me, Liam. How was that going to be? awkward?

---Adelaide's POV---

Simon had called me, telling me he wanted me to meet with the drummer, guitarist, and the rest of the band that played instruments. He wanted me to give them my song choices for when I performed the day after tomorrow. Liam had texted me, asking to hang out. Luckily, I had a legit reason to tell him I couldn't. The boys ended up going out shopping and for dinner. So I had the rest of the day for peace and quiet as I practiced with the band.

I told them the main song I wanted to perform, along with another two random songs. They agreed. We practiced for a few hours. When I looked at the clock it read eight p.m. Tomorrow I needed to go shopping for my performance outfit, as well as some other clothes I'd need for the tour.

I quickly took the elevator, and ran straight to my room. I didn't want to see Liam. I didn't want him to try anything, or become over possesive again saying I can't look at Harry, talk to Harry, or even think about Harry while we're on tour. I didn't need to hear this. He wasn't my boyfriend. I showered and walked to my room. I took my phone out and sent Harry a text.

To: Harry- thank you again for everything. goodnight, -You're kitten, Addy.

with that, I put my phone on the nightstand and fell straight to sleep.

(a/n I forgot to put a note on the other chapters here it goes: I do not thing that Liam would be as crazy as he is portayed in the story. It's just for the story guys don't worry. I am absolutely sure that Liam is an amazing guy :) haha )
