Harry Interview

None's POV
"We've got this," Graham said as he presented Goldie to everyone, Harry's bear. "Now, I believe that this is yours?"
"It is mine."
"So this is..."
"He's called Goldie," Harry said at the same time as Graham.
"Goldie?"
"Yeah."
"What's the story behind him? Why has he got a name? And Harry, you're 25 years old," Graham said and everyone laughed, Harry included.
"It's actually a complex story. Well, it isn't. It's sad, but also happy."
"Don't leave us hanging," The Rock said and Harry laughed.
"No. So, about a year ago I had a really bad car accident."
"Oh."
"I was in a coma for a month, amongst other injuries."
"A month?"
"The whole of January."
"Wow," The Rock said.
"Are you ok now?"
"Yeah, I'm ok," Harry told one of the guests. "But I had quite a bad head injury and I would get episodes where I didn't know what was going on. ... Confusion," Harry said after a moment.
"Are you sure you're not still having them?" Kevin joked and Harry laughed.
"No, I'm alright."
"Good, you scared me for a second there."
"Goldie was given to me by Niall..."
"Niall Horan?"
"Yes, my ex-bandmate," Harry said, and someone booed in the audience. Harry looked at them. "We're still good friends," He said and there was a pause. "He gave him to me while I was in hospital. It was shortly after I woke up."
"So did Goldie help with these confused episodes?"
"He did. He was soft and felt safe. I forgot who was around me and I got really scared during the episodes."
"So he is important to you?"
"Very important. I was scared, vulnerable, and I needed a lot of help during that time."
"How long did your recovery take?"
"It was a couple of months until I started to feel even a little normal. It took a while."
"Wow, I am so sorry that I brought this back up for you," Graham said as he handed Goldie to Harry.
"It's alright," Harry told Graham as he took Goldie from him. "I have fully recovered and my family did an incredible job of looking after me. I'm just glad that it wasn't worse."
"People are regularly killed in car accidents."
"Exactly," Harry said, and he cuddled Goldie. Fans squealed in the audience, so Harry purposefully looked cute for them.
"Wow. Someone's fainted," Graham said and Harry put Goldie down.
"That always seems to happen."
"We're getting her help, it's ok."
"Good. There we go. I'm fine everyone, I'm alright," Harry reassured the audience.
"We're very glad that you're ok Harry. My grandfather died in a car accident, so I know how bad they can be," the Rock told him.
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"I'm really glad that your family didn't suffer your loss."
"So am I. I'm very thankful to be alive."
"And I love you for coming," Graham told him.
"We all love you, so much Harry."
"Come here," Harry said and all of the celebrities had a group hug.

Harry stayed behind after the camera's had cut and he made sure that all of his fans got a picture with him. He then hung out with them for as long as he could, reassuring everyone that he was alright and he was back to his normal self.
