Groupie (Harry Styles)

Chapter 2 - October 2010

Harry.

The curly haired boy had my attention from the start. As my brother was told what to say and how to act in front of the camera by the people following the five boys, I hid next to the bathroom door, keeping my eyes pierced at lad with the scarf and dimples.

When what I presume was the director said "Action!", the boy who had first walked in with brown hair started speaking.

"Hi, I'm Liam. The boy next to him with charcoal black hair then said "And I'm Zayn." with a small smile. The blonde continued with "I'm Niall", and the other brown haired boy behind him smirked and said "I'm Louis". The curly haired boy then showed off his dimples and said "I'm Harry, and we are... ONE DIRECTION" they all said together in chorus. I couldn't help but giggle quietly, they were all so cute!

They all talked to Daniel for a while about his illness while I sat in the background looking through my Facebook feed. As I saw an old friend of mine announcing her pregnancy at age 16, I let out a loud gasp. Everyone's heads turned to me and Harry bursted into laughter while staring into my eyes. He had beautiful green eyes, and I just couldn't help myself looking at them.

"Great, now we have to start over! Louis, start from the part where you say you're so sorry and bla bla." The director said with a sour voice and broke my little imaginary bubble with Harry. I mumbled an "I'm sorry" and quietly left the room to get something to drink.

I found a vending machine just around the corner and pressed the button for a coke. I thought of all the movies where the machine always stole the coin without giving anything back and how that must be all bullshit since I've never seen that happen to anyone in real life. Just as if someone had heard what I was thinking, the machine broke and I could see my bottle stuck in between the glass and the platform. 

"Are you serious right now?" I said out loud and laughed at my misfortune. I started hitting the machine just as I've seen all the actors do in the movies, but without any result what so ever.

"Damn it!" I gave the machine one last push before turning around. To my surprise, I found myself face to face with Harry.

"Hi, you're Elsa, right? Did that thing seriously steal your money? I thought that only happened in the movies." Harry said with a small smirk.

"Yes and yes actually, it did. Me too! I laughed. I tried pushing it and everything, but it won't work."

"Oh okay, let me try something." Harry then rolled his right sleeve up and shoved it right into the hole where you pick your snack up. I could see his hand working it's way up through the glass. His fingers were extremely long and he had no problem gripping the coke and pulling it out of the machine.

"Wow, I'm impressed. Thank you." I said and reached for the coke in his hand. I accidentally touched his hand with my fingers and he quickly pulled away.

"I'm sorry, but is it possible for me to have a taste? I'm so thirsty and I don't have any money with me." 

Surprised by his bluntness, I nodded and watched him drink almost the entire thing.

"Hey, that's not a taste, you almost drank the whole bottle!" I protested and grabbed the bottle from his hand. He showed off a teasing smile.

"I'm sorry, but I was just so thirsty. If you want, I could buy you a new one another time when I bring my wallet?" He let out what sounded like a nervous laugh.

The only thing that looked good on me today was my hair, so there was no actual way in hell he was asking me out. I looked at him with a surprised face as if to tell him to explain.

"I mean, can I take you out sometime? We have a lot of thing going on right now so it would have to wait for a while, but I would really like to replace your coke." He smiled and I couldn't help myself smiling back.

I thought of it for a second, then realising there was nothing to think about. A cute guy wanted to ask me out, who was I to say no to that?

"Why not? What time were you thinking then?" I could feel myself starting to blush like a bloody thirteen-year old.

"If we make it to the finale, it's in December so were gonna have to wait until then. Is that alright with you?"

I nodded and he pulled out his phone from his pocket. He typed something and then handed it over to me to give him my number. Where it said "Name" at the top, he had written "Elsa :)" and I quickly entered my number and handed his phone back. He pressed something and a moment later I could feel my own phone vibrating. 

"Good, now I know you didn't give me a fake one." He then gave me a huge smile, once again showing off those dimples.

I could see the camera team and what I guess were some sort of managers leaving Daniel's room and the boy named Louis looked at us and then screamed "Yo Harry!"

"That's my cue to go. I'll call you in December?" I nodded and he quickly turned around and joined the others. I drank what was left of my coke and walked back to Daniel.

"Where have you been? That was absolutely dreadful, I had to keep myself from laughing through the entire thing. The director wanted me to look at them with "very sad eyes" as they wished me good luck!" I started laughing and a fem minutes later I was on the floor with my stomach hurting from laughter after everything he told me the director asked them all to do.

After I stopped laughing I stood up and dusted myself off as I sat down on Daniel's bed.

"You know that curly haired one, Harry?" Daniel nodded.

"Yeah, he rooted for Manchester and wanted to play a game with me. I told him that he should practice and then come back since I am a FIFA god. Nice chap."

"What the fuck? You're not that good, idiot!" I swatted him playfully on his arm.

"Anyway, he asked me out, on an actual date!"

"You should totally go, he could be really famous someday!" Daniel teased and I gave his arm another swat. I could see he was getting tired, so I lay down next to him on his small bed. 

"I love you Dan. Please don't leave me alone with mum."

"I can't promise you that, you know." I could feel my eyes getting wet as he laid his arm around me.

 "I will try though, that I can promise. I love you too Elsa." I hugged him tight as I knew my mascara was smudging. I wish that I could go a day without crying, but for now, that was impossible.

So that was chapter 2. I'm sorry for all the background but it's essential for the story. Bare with me!
