The Theater Room

Chapter 6

(Few days later)
Erin's POV:

Currently I am on stage staring at one of the most insufferable boys of all time as he does his lines, and I can hardly stand it. Ever since Harry and I got pissed at each other a few days ago we can barley stand to look at each other and right now as he is staring at me in character you can tell we despise one another. Our director Mrs. Canton has us doing random parts from famous plays to see if we can play lead roles and at the moment Harry and I are doing a part from Romeo and Juliet. Kill me now.

* "Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day

Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.

I must be gone and live, or stay and die." *

Harry says finishing his lines and I almost miss mine because I was so distracted by thought.

* "Yond light is not day-light, I know it,

It is some meteor that the sun exhal'd

To be to thee this night a torch-bearer

And light thee on thy way to Mantua.

Therefore stay yet, thou need'st not to be gone." *

I say finishing my lines and Mrs. Canton stops Harry right as he begins again. "Okay that's enough for today! Thank you, and you all may go!"

I sigh in relief and go to walk off the stage but get turned around, and i'm now facing Harry. "What?" I whine wanting to leave. "What was that?" "What was what Harry?" I sigh and pull my arm out of his grasp. "That shitty attitude the whole time we ran lines." "Um excuse me? I had a shitty attitude? Huh yeah right and you didn't? I'm just giving back what you dish out. If you can't take it then don't be an arse Styles." I say and walk down the steps to the side of the stage and grab my bag.

"Erin!" I hear Harry whisper yell but I keep walking. I stop when I hear Mrs. Canton call for us, "Bingley. Styles. Come over to the piano real quick please!" Oh great more time with Harry that I don't want.

"Yes Mrs. Canton?" I ask as I stop infront of the piano and Harry walks up beside me. "I have a favor to ask of you two." she replies as she flips through the piano books that are sat on the music stand, "We have a rather big musical we're doing soon and I would like to hear how your voices sound. I really think you two have lead role material in you." she says as she continues flipping the pages in the music books.

"Who would you like to sing first?" I ask with a big grin spreading across my face and Harry starts chuckling to which I slightly elbow his ribs and he stops, "I actually found a duet. Is that okay?" "Yeah! That's fine with me." I smile and step over so I can see the music and I instantly smile wider. It's All I Ask Of You from Phantom Of The Opera. I glance up at Harry and he shrugs his shoulder and walks over to the other side of the piano so he can also see the music.

* [Harry]

No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

[Erin]
Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.

[Harry]
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

[Erin]
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

[Harry]
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you want me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
that's all I ask of you.

[Erin]
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.

[Together]
Say the word and I will follow you.
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

[Erin]
Say you love me ...

[Harry]
You know I do.

[Together]
Love me, that's all I ask of you ...

Love me, that's all I ask of you. *

"That was great! Thank you for staying behind and doing that." Mrs. Canton smiles and stands up from the piano. "No problem. I didn't mind. I already knew the song. I know it by heart." I chuckle and Harry lightly scoffs, "Of course you do." he mumbles and Canton gives him a 'knock it off' look. "Well you two get going. Thanks again!" she smiles and dismisses us again, I quickly pick my bag back up and sling it over my shoulder and leave the auditorium.

"Woah there what's the hurry?" Harry chuckles as he catches up to me. "Harry don't piss me off even more. I can't stand you, you can't stand me. Why make it worse?" I sigh and stop walking. "I'm not trying to piss you off Bingley." he smirks and it's enough to make me want to slap the arrogant look off his face. "Harry. You remember what I have on you right?" I ask and his smirk falters, "That's what I thought. So why continue to make me dislike you shouldn't you be trying to be nice to me? I have a serious blackmail card in my hand." I grin and his face turns to a scowl.

"What do you want?" he asks coldly, "Oh nothing but the satisfaction of seeing you squirm every time i'm around your friends." I smirk and walk off leaving Harry with a dumbfounded look on his face. I'm not a mean person and I hardly ever have rude come backs, but it's something about Harry. I just refuse to take his shit, and if that means being straight to the point to get my point across I'll do it.

*Authors Note: So I finally got around to updating this fic! Sorry for the wait, I just have several others i'm working on and I've been having terrible writers block lately.

I hope this chapter is good, and that y'all like it!:)
