Chapter 4: Butterflies and Sparks

Chapter 4:

:HARRY'S POV:

I am nervous, the only thing I want is Laney. To make sure she is ok. To hold her and tell her how beautiful she is. God, why can't I stop thinking about her?! I end up texting her.

{To Laney Jones:}

What's your seat number? I am so nervous. Xx- H

{From Laney Jones:}

I'm on Floor 2: row 1...that's all I know and don't be nervous you will do great! Xo

{To Laney Jones:}

Wherever you are right now, go find security, show them this text and have them take you back stage to my dressing room. X

:LANEY'S POV:

So I am going to do as Harry said. I tell my friends I am going to get a drink because I don't want them to come with me. They go ahead and get our seats as I go up to a security gaurd. I show him the text. He rolls his eyes at me and motions for me to go away.
I cross my arms and storm off angrily. What a bastard! I am frustrated now and search for another guard. I go up to one in the very back of the stadium.

A girl guard too. Hopefully a bit kinder..

I show her the text. She smiles. Yes, I was right!

"Are you Laney?" She asks. I nod. Wow, she knows me?

"I've keep hearing so much about you." She smiles widely, and I follow her to a door with a 'STAFF ONLY' sign. She opens it with her key and points down the hall. I step in, thank her, and walk down.

I see doors with each of the boys' names on one, but Harry doesn't answer when I knock on his door. I keep walking, and I find a lounge with couches, TVs, and lots of assorted foods. There sits Harry on one of the chairs with his head in his hands. He is the only one in this lounge area.

"Harry?" I ask softly, waiting for him to look up.

As soon as I speak, his head shoots up in surprise. "Laney! You came!" Harry runs over and hugs me.

"Yes, of course!," I giggle, " Look, don't be nervous! You will do great! I will be on the front row singing along." I smile up at him. I am tiny compared to his towering height. I have to look up slightly when I speak to him.

"Laney Jones- a One Direction fan?!" Harry laughs. I just roll my eyes with a smile.
"Little Things is already emotional.." He says after a second. What? I look at him confused. "I have to go, babe." He pecks me on the cheek and starts to walk around the corner.

"Harry, wait!" I call after him. He turns back and I run up to him. We both know where this is going. I slowly lean in, close my eyes, and our lips touch. His lips move with mine and sparks fly. It is the greatest feeling. Finally, Harry pulls away and whispers, "I don't want this to be the last time I see you. Promise me I'll see you again?"

I can't get any words out, but I just nod wildly, throwing my arms around him.

"Good. Because it wasn't really a question." Harry says, chuckling.

He kisses me once more before disappearing around the corner where I can hear the other boys voices.

I quickly try to escape the crowds and run past them to get to my seat.

When I reached my friends, I tell them the lines are too long to get a drink. But I am not telling them that I just kissed Harry. Not now at least.

And then the countdown to the concert starts - fans ecstatically screaming.

Everyone screams. My ears are pounding. You couldn't help but scream- exciting is quite the understatement. 5sos kick things off incredibly. Fortunately, I had listened to their music before.
My friends and I scream their names as they get close to the edge of the stage where we can reach out to them. I think Monica is going to faint as Luke grabs her hand. Izzy and I laugh hysterically.

Eventually, One direction are introduced, and it only feels like it only got 10 times louder than it was.
Heat rushes to my face as I hear Harry's beautiful voice.
It's so unbelievable hard for me to think about letting him go at this point.

After many songs, the boys slow it down and sit in different places on the stage to sing Little Things. They start, and as it comes to Harry's part he looks me in the eyes, and sings:

I know you've never loved

The sound of your voice on tape

You never want

To know how much you weigh

You still have to squeeze into your jeans

But you're perfect to me

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth

But if it's true

It's you,

It's you they add up to

I'm in love with you

And all these little things

His words come flashing back go me "the songs are already emotional."

I think a tear is falling down my face, but I'm too dazed to notice. Harry is a little choked up as well and struggles to finish his part. The other boys are giving me looks. Great. Now I feel kind've embarrassed.

After the concert, we go back to the hotel. We can't stop talking about the incredible show we just witnessed- it was amazing- even more than amazing!

I text Harry:

{To Harry Styles:}

Good job, tonight! That was great! And yes the songs were emotional.

{From Harry Styles:}

Thanks love. I had a little bit of hard time through the slower songs. When do you leave?

My thoughts freeze. Shit.. how was I supposed to see him again if I'm supposed to leave tomorrow?

So I reply:

{To Harry Styles:}

I leave tomorrow. I'm sorry

{From Harry Styles:}

I have a day off tomorrow. I will come with you ;) xx.

I smile down at my phone. And we end on that note.

Eventually, I end up explaining the kiss to Izzy and Monica. They go crazy- like CRAZY. They are so excited for me. We could've talked about it for hours. We probably talked ourselves to sleep.

I can't fall asleep, though. Too busy thinking about how to convince my parents to let me see Harry again.

Wait a second... How are we going to see each other if he's touring the world?
