Gotta be you... because nobody compares

Hero

---Harry's POV---

We had been practicing for a long time at the arena. I caught glimpses of my Kitten between our practices. Me and the lads were practicing with the band for about 4 hours. When Adelaide was going to go up for practice, me and the lads were leaving for lunch. I didn't get to see the song she was going to perform.

After lunch, we went back to our dressing room. Our performance was going to be at seven. It was about to be six.

"Looks like you have a fan" Louis pointed to the dresser where the mirror was at. On it, Was a royal blue shirt, with only the word "HERO" on it. A sticky note was laid on top of it. It read "To Harry. From Your number one fan"

"who's it from?" Niall asked, with a huge smile on his face. wierdo haha.

"It doesn't say. I have no idea." I wonder who it was from. The guards wouldn't let just anybody through.

"Adelaide's gonna perform in a bit!!" Louis screamed, distracting me from my thoughts. "let's go wish her luck!" I was nervous about facing her. I wonder if she got my note. I really WAS trying. To get over the fact that her and Liam had a thing. We walked to her dressing room.

---Adelaide's POV---

I had changed into my outfit for the performance. I heard a knock on the door. Before opening it, I zipped up my leather jacket. I had on some black skinny jeans, and some black leather boots that had heels. Under my leather jacket was my shirt. It was a secret I was going to reveal during my performance. It was the boys.

"Hello!" Niall greeted and gave me a huge hug. I had texted him my idea for my performance all night. He was the only one of the boys who knew. I also told him my idea behind my outfit. Niall has become one of my best friends. He didn't know about my past with my family. Eventually I'd tell him everything, but for now, He was helping me with my boy problems. "you got everything?" he whispered in my ear. I nodded. the rest of the guys walked in.

"We just wanted to wish you luck on your performance," Liam said as he hugged me. Over his shoulder, I saw Harry looking at the floor, his jaw tensing.

"thank you guys" I hugged Zayn and Louis. When I walked up to Harry I got nervous. Was he going to accept my hug?

"goodluck," he mumbled. I wrapped my arms around him. After a good 3 seconds, he hugged me back. "my kitten" he softly whispered in my ear, to which only I could hear. My eyes shot open. This is exactly the step I needed.

I was on stage. There were thousands of people out there. At first, I froze. Shit. I've never performed in front of so many people. I turned to my right. The boys were standing next to the curtain. completely blocked away from the crowd but still visible to me. I instantly felt better. I turned to the crowd.

"Hey guys. I'm Adelaide Thomson. Well I'm new to this so I don't know what to say," I giggled. The crowd laughed too. This made me ease up more. So I decided to tell them a bit of a background behind the performance. "So guys, There's this guy. And I really really like him. But I think I kinda messed things up." the crowd went awwww, I continued "well this song Is to tell him How much he means to me, He truely is my," I looked to Harry, "my hero."

(a/n go listen to the song "Holding out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler its the song Adelaide's about to sing:) )

I went into position. I turned to Harry one last time and winked at him before the music began. The crowd was cheering once they noticed what song I was about to sing.

"Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods...

Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds...

Isn't there a white Knight upon a fiery steed

Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I neeeeed," I unzipped my leather jacket revealing my Superman shirt. The big S right infront. I turned to Harry and pointed at him before I quickly went back to singing.

"I need a Hero,

I'm holding out for a Hero Til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the figtht" The crowd was going crazy. I was so proud of myself. I was following my dreams. AND I was getting a statement across to Harry. He was my Hero and I needed him.

---Harry's POV---

It was her, My Kitten left me the shirt that said hero on it. I was her Hero. She needed me and for the past few days I gave her the cold shoulder. How could I. I turned and walked to my dressing room. I had a good thirty minutes before it was our turn to perform.

---Adelaide's POV---

 I looked at Liam, he was expressionless. I wasn't sure if I was going to hear about this later. I didn't care. My hero would be there for me. But where was he? He had walked off while I was singing to the crowd.

"Up where the mountains meets  the heavens above

Up where the lightnings splits the sea

I could swear there was someone somewhere watching me." I continued singing. If Harry wasn't going to accept my apology there was no more I could do. I dedicated a song to the guy. I was chasing him just so that he'd be my friend again. I was tired. It was time for me to follow my dream and focus on myself. I finished the song with a bang. The audience was cheering. They loved my performance. I continued with two more random songs. When I was done, I thanked the audience and walked off stage.

I was beat, I need to go to the gym a bit more, I thought to myself giggling. As I chugged down some water, the guys walked up to me and applauded.

"thank you, thank you," I curtsied.

"that was amazing!" Niall congratulated. "I think It really worked also,"

"What makes you think that?"

"You'll see" he winked. Just then, Liam came up to me.

"That was, something" He said. "congratulation on your first performance and the reaction from the audience was amazing. Personally, I don't like the choice of the subject... but It looks like there's nothing I can do about it." He walked away after speaking. I felt bad. I should have talked to him first.

Harry was no where to be seen. Great, it didn't work. He STILL was ignoring me. He called me Kitten in the dressing room, He told me he was trying. I didn't know what else to do.

"well guys it's our turn to wow the crowd. Althought I don't think they will enjoy our performance as much as Miss Thomson's here," Louis joked. That made me giggle.

"Well Lou, If you need any back up I'll be right here," I sat down on a chair next to the curtain that lead to the stage. Again, I was blocked off to the crowd but I could still see the boys. Suddenly I saw Harry run onto the stage. He had on my shirt. My hero shirt. was this his way of saying he wanted to be friends again? Oh I hope it was! He looked over at me and smiled. He pointed at my shirt that he was wearing, then he pointed to the superman shirt I was wearing. It was! he was saying WE were good.!

(a/n I love that song! Holding out for a hero by bonnie tyler. go listen to it guys!!!! haha )
