[Rebecca's POV]



   I looked in my mirror one more time before straightening out my dress real fast. I smiled. I was right; this dressed is a lot better than the other one.

I walked out of my bathroom and out of my room. I went through my hallway and down my stairs. I felt happy. I walked to my front door and started to slip on my heels for tonight. If you hadn't guessed, tonight is the Brit awards. As I was slipping on my last shoe, Harry knocked on my door. I smiled and quickly slid it on. I stood up and opened my door looking at my boyfriend who happened to look extremely handsome tonight.

"Wow, it's even better the second time on." Harry said looking down at my dress. "You look so gorgeous."

I blushed. "Thank you, but i'm not the only one. You're looking quite handsome yourself."

"I tried.. with the help of Lou." He said embarrassed he had his stylist pick his outfit.

"She did do a lovely job." I smiled taking his arm he held out for me.

I walked through my door and closed it up. We walked down my steps and then towards his car. "I can't wait for you to see everything tonight. Like, everyone is there."

I smiled. "I can't wait to see you boy's perform and Danielle dance back-up for Rihanna!"

"Yeah, she's excited about it. Liam was telling me earlier how thrilled she is." Harry said opening my door.

"I know." I said getting in and buckling up.

He shut the door and went around getting into the drivers seat. He started the car and pulled out. We'd be meeting the boy's there behind the building for a switch off. I'd go with Eleanor to go sit with the families while they took a car to the red carpet. I Wouldn't be able to talk to him until after the award show since i'm sitting with his family. Danielle would be joining us after she dances.

"Are you nervous about tonight?" I asked turning to him.

"A little bit, but I'm excited as well." He smiled bright.

"I'm so proud of you." I smiled to myself turning back to face the road.

"I'm proud of you too." He said.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Because your audition is soon and you're actually doing it for yourself!" He cheered.

"Harry, tonight is about you and only you. No more me talk." I said.

"But--"

"--nope just you." I said shaking my head once to the right.

He didn't exactly answer me he kinda just gave me a slight groan/huff. I wanted tonight to be about him and only him because he deserves it. Tonight he's going to win that Brit along with Louis, Liam, Niall, and Zayn and i'm going to show my support. If people look at me weird when I cheer for him, so be it. He deserves all the praise tonight. It's a big moment for him.

We drove twenty more minutes before we got to the venue the awards would be held. We parked around back along with all the other red carpet walkers. He got out and helped me out being the gentleman he is. We linked arms and walked to where he was suppose to meet Paul and the boy's. We got to the spot and they all looked so handsome. Eleanor was stunning like alway's. she's just like a perfect little thing. I felt happy at the fact that Zayn would be able to see Perrie because Little Mix was invited to the awards. That made me even happier. As we go to the group, Paul didn't waste time snatching the boys.

"Alright, say good-bye to your girlfriends. It's time." Paul said.

"Good luck tonight." I said kissing his lips sweetly then I kissed his cheek after pulling away from the kiss on the lips.

"Thanks, good luck with my mum." He joked.

"We'll be fine. Now, go on." I said patting his butt to get a move on before Paul yelled at us.

"Love you!" Harry said before leaving my hug.

"Love you too." I said waving him bye.

Eleanor and I watched the SUV drive away with the boy's. You could clearly see on both of our faces how proud we are of each one of those boy's.

Eleanor and I turned around being lead inside to go sit down at our correct table. I looked over at Eleanor and what she was wearing.

Louis is a lucky man.

Eleanor and I walked through the venue while the boys did the red carpet. Once we got to our seating area, we looked around for one of the family members. Eleanor spotted Maura two minutes in as we started looking. We made our way over. As we got closer, we saw the rest. Harry and Niall's family were sharing a table. Louis' family were at the table next to them, and Zayn and Liam's family shared one. We smiled while we walked up.

"Hey, Jay." Eleanor smiled.

"Hey, honey." Jay smiled hugging Eleanor giving her a kiss on each cheek.

I walked over to where Anne was. "Hi everyone." I smiled.

"Hello dear." Anne smiled politely.

"Hey, Rebecca." Gemma waved.

I smiled as I sat down beside her. "Oh, Rebecca this is Robin my husband and Harry and Gemma's step dad."

"Hello, Robin." I shook his hand across Anne. He was sitting on her left while I sat on her right.

"Nice to meet you." He nodded.

"I can say the same." I smiled pulling my hand back to me.

Maura, Anne, Robin, and Bobby made small talk while Gemma, Greg and I did. It was nice getting to know Robin, and Greg considering i've never met them before. As we were talking, the floor is where all the stars were starting to fill up. Being the nosy person I am, I stared down there until I saw a mop of curly hair swept up going throw the crowd. Once he sat down, he looked up to where I was and same me. He waved to me like an idiot and smiled big. I blew him a kiss, and he caught it. Alright... how cute. I waved bye and turned around. "Anne, your son is adorable."

"Alway's have been." She said.

I felt my leg vibrate. I looked down and realized my phone was vibrating in my clutch. I opened It and grabbed my phone seeing I got a text. When I opened the text up, I giggled earning a look from Anne, and Gemma. Harry had texted me.

'Im going to save that for later. xx' - Harry

I told Anne and Gemma why I laughed and their questioning looks became softer as I explained.

About twenty minutes later the award show started. Awards were being given out and artists performed. I'd have to say Mumford and Sons did an excellent job! When Rihanna came out to perform, Eleanor and I went crazy cheering for both Rihanna and Dani. I looked down at Liam and the look on his face a priceless. You could tell he felt a sense of peace and joy seeing Danielle doing the thing she loved doing, and that's dancing. I wonder if Harry ever looks at me like that? humm that's something to think about. I do know I get that way watching him perform. He loves it and you can see it written all over his face.

"The lads should be performing soon." Robin informed me.

"Alright." I said turning around to face the stage.

Everyone at the table waited for the boy's to come out, but first Robby Williams came out and read off the award for Global Success. The boy's ended up winning. We all went wild cheering while they went up to receive the award. They did their thanks, and the show went on commercial and we waited for about five minutes. We watched the crew members set up the stage for One Direction. Pinball.. nice! As soon as that was done, the show came back on. The host announced them and the music started. The boy's popped up and I started getting gitty in my seat. Harry started and it was an amazing set. "One way or another I'm gonna find ya..."

Zayn sang next and switched spots for center with Harry. After that, it was Niall. He's adorable. Liam then traded spots with Niall and sang. Then came along Louis Tomlinson. They sang and danced around on the stage. They acted like the idiots I know them as. My favorite part was the clapping. Niall was really into it. Harry stood where we was suppose too and was able to connect his eyes with mine. He sang "I wanna hold you, I wanna hold you tight." Right at me then they ran back up the stage and ended where they started. Everyone stood up and cheered. I being the supportive girlfriend I am cheered very loud. I did get a few stares, but all well.

Once they exited the stage, everything went back to normal and the next award was being given out. Danielle made it to us and she looked beautiful. I can not wait to see Liam's face once he sees his lady.

He walked over to hug Eleanor and I before she went to sit with Liam's family. "How great was that?" She asked as she reached me.

I stood up and hugged her. "It was amazing."

"I know." She quietly squealed. She hugged Eleanor who had stood up and walked over here. "Alright, see you two girls after the show."

We nodded and took our places. There was little small talk exchanged between Gemma and I as we waited for the next award. Before the last award was given, Robin and I were talking about my goals in life. It was interesting to say the least. Having someone i've just met wanting to know what I had planned for myself, but then again he's Harry's parent. They always do that on first meeting. I still remember meeting Anne. How intimidating.

"A dancer, huh?" He asked a bit surprised.

"Yes sir, ever since I turned seven. You couldn't get me off the dance floor." I smiled.

"How's that going for you?" He asked totally oblivious. Anne smacked his arm lightly scolding him.

"Robin.." She scolded quietly.

"Oh no, Anne it's alright. I actually have something to tell you. Danielle being the sweet person she is got me an audition." I said.

"Oh, for what sweetie?" She asked smiling at Robin who was rubbing his arm.

"A chance on being a dancer for the x-factor where she works." I said.

"Oh that'a wonderful!" She smiled.

"Thanks." I blushed slightly.

"Yeah, that's great Rebecca." Robin said. "Do you think you'll be here that long to make it a career?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yes sir, I'm here to stay. I love it here." I smiled.

"That's great. At least you don't have to leave Harry, i'd hate to see him so upset again." He said earning a glare from Anne.

"Again?" I asked curiously.

Robin looked at Anne. He turned to me again, but didn't say anything because he was interrupted by a certain boy. I felt two hands on my shoulders from behind and then Harry bent down kissing my cheek. "Hello, love."

"Hi." I squeaked a bit startled.

"Hey, mum, Robin, Gemma, Maura, Greg, Bobby." He smiled.

Everyone said hi back. Harry looked for a place to sit, but couldn't. I patted my legs and he looked at me like I was crazy. He then got me up and out of my seat taking it for himself. "How nice." I sarcastically said.

"What? I'm not leaving you without a spot to sit." He said grabbing my waist and sitting me down on his lap with his arms around my waist. "See?"

I smiled shaking my head while Anne cooed quietly to herself. "Anyway, so what were you going to say?" I asked Robin.

He waved me off. "Just ask him later."

I nodded and Harry looked at me funny, but I waved him off talking to Gemma. Niall came around shortly and we all had a nice talk. We spent thirty minutes talking to one another before we were asked to leave.

Harry and I walked out with his family. He said his good-byes and blushed every time his mom told him how proud she was. It was a real sweet moment seeing them hug. There was tears in her eyes and I knew there were a few unnoticeable ones in Harry's. I mean, let's face it he's a mush ball.

We waved bye as Harry lead me towards his car with my hand. "You did amazing tonight."

"Thanks." He smiled to the ground.

"Your mom is right when she said how incredible you boy's sound and how well you all work together. It was beautiful." I smiled.

"Babe, stop." He blushed, but of course he turned his head away from me to not let me see.

I reached up and kissed his right cheek making his head turn. He grinned and kissed me quick before I let off my toes. As we reached the car, he opened my door and allowed me to go in. He closed the door making his way around to his door. When he got in, he grabbed my right hand and said "Thank you for being here tonight for me."

I smiled. "I always will be."

He smiled and started the car and pulled out. On the way home he was telling me about everyone he could see from his seat. He also told me that people "in charge" on the group kept telling them to sit down and talk to their friends later. It was funny seeing his face as he talked about it. He did not quite like those people, but you could see the genuine smile he held when he talked about winning the award. He was happy.

We arrived back quicker than when we left. We got out and I went to his apartment with him. He unlocked his door and we went in. Once we got in, our shoes were first to go. Then it was our jackets. After that, we walked into his living room. He surprised me when he turned me around and placed his lips on mine. It wasn't a smash, but it wasn't gentle either. He tumbled us onto the couch with him on top of me. When he pulled away, we smiled at each other. "What was that for?" I asked.

"I told you i'd save that kiss until later." He winked.

I laughed causing him chuckle.



[Harry's POV]



I got up from the couch smiling down at the girl laying on my couch laughing.

"Wanna stay?" I asked as I pulled her up from the couch.

She nodded tiredly.

"Alright, let's go get you something to wear." I said looking at her still in her dress.

She smiled and we made our way upstairs to my room. As we got in there, I turned on the light and headed towards my drawers. I pulled out two shirts, and two pairs of sweats. One for her; one for me. I handed her one pair and she went into the toilet.

I changed quickly and plopped on the bed. I took in a deep breath ending with a smile on my face. Tonight was just perfect. I had my mum, sister, Robin. I had my girlfriend as well. I really had a good night and I wish it didn't end. I always love seeing my mum whenever I can. It's not as often as I would like too, but we make it work. I'm also glad Rebecca is one of those types of girls my parents love and she loves as well. It's funny just to think a few months back when Rebecca met my mum. My mum wasn't too sure about her, but now she can't stop asking about her. Like, whenever I call her she always asks me how Rebecca is, or what she is up too. It's like she think of Rebecca as a daughter. Hummm.

"Harry?" Rebecca asked walking out of the washroom with her dress in her hands.

"Yeah?" I asked scooting slightly up. My back was resting on my pillows and my bum was resting just under them. They were laid down regularly. My head was rested on the head board.

Rebecca dropped her dress on my dresser and climbed in bed with me. As she got closer, she said. "I was talking to Robin before you came about something he brought up."

"What was that?" I asked lifting my arm up allowing her to lay down. She got in a comfortable position before asking me a question. Her head was on my right peak. Her right arm slung over my stomach and her right leg semi tangled with my right one. Then my right arm came down.

"He asked me if I was staying in London long enough to make the x-factor a career for me, I said yes, then he brought up something about him not wanting to see you so upset again if I had gone back home. What did he mean about again?" She asked rubbing the left side of me.

"Well.." I trailed. "When I was about fifteen, I had this girlfriend."

"Uh huh." She said stopping the rubbing of my side.

"Yeah, she was my first major crush and when we actually did start dating she left me flat for some bloke." I huffed. "He wasn't even good looking."

"Harry." She scolded pinching my side lightly.

"Well, I was much more attractive than him, but what hurt me was when I had found out she was just using me for school purposes. It was also a dare given to her by her friends. I was crushed for a month." I sighed.

"Aw, poor baby." Rebecca cooed. She leaned up turning my head with her right hand. My face met hers and she kissed me with passion behind it to show me she cares for me. "At least you don't have to worry about that with me."?

"I sure hope not." I said squeezing her closer.

"Good, because you're stuck with me whether you like it or not." She joked.

What she didn't know and didn't say was that I wouldn't mind if I was stuck with her. I was happy with her. I feel like I always have been. I just didn't notice the happiness under the hatred I showed everyone.

I bent my head down kissing her while I slid down into a laying position. I pulled away and peaked her lips a couple times. She smiled, but it went away when she looked to my bed table. The phone had gone off.

Groaning I got back into my previous position and picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey, Harry it's Paul."

"Yeah?"

"I've found out when tour ends."

I looked at my alarm clock. "It is midnight, you couldn't have waited til morning?"

"I just thought the sooner the better."

I sighed. "Alright, how long?"

"Eight months starting in May."

"That long, huh?"

"Yeah."

"That's great though! I'm excited to get started!" I beamed.

"Us too, now I guess I'll leave to to rest."

"Thanks."

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Paul."

I hung up and slid back down. Rebecca and I got comfortable again wrapped up with each other. I breathed out, but then it hit me. I'm going away from 8 months. Without Rebecca. "Hey, Bec?" I opened my eyes.

"Yeah?" She asked looking up to me.

"That was Paul." I said looking to her.

"I figured." She joked.

I pinched her side lightly for being a smart arse; she laughed. "He told me something."

"What was that?" She asked calming down with a smile.

"How long tour would be." I said biting the inside my cheek.

Her smiled softened. It was still there, but not as bright. "How long?"

I looked in her eyes. 8 months Harry, just tell her. "Eight...months."

She looked down and slid her right index finger down my collarbone to my chest. "Oh."

"Yeah." I said looking at her reaction.

She looked up with a smile, but I could see the unhappiness in her eyes. "That is so great!"

"Yeah," I said. " it's a world tour." I said waiting for an opposite reaction.

"That is so amazing!" She smiled. "I'm.. so proud of you!" She kissed me and lingered there for a second before pulling away.

"What?" I asked expecting some sort of sad reaction.

"I'm happy for you. " She smiled and kissed me again.

Then she pulled away from the kiss, and me. Once our legs we're untangled, she turned on her side. Her back facing me. I was left unspoken.

I turned to my side and cautiously put my left arm around her. She let me. She intertwined our hands, but right when she tighend her grip around my hand, I knew something was off.

She was proud, I know, but she was also upset.

You could see that a mile away.
