Isn't She Lovely Book 1

Chapter 14

(Harry POV) I scanned the crowd during every song we performed. When we came to our final song Summer Love, my eyes fixed on one specific girl in the back of the crowd. She was beautiful, tall and thin, she had hourglass curves, long brunette hair and even from all the way up here, I could see her blue-green, hazel eyes… While performing, I never took my eyes off of her. Once we finished our performance, Liam went into his huge thank you speech and I only took my eyes off of her for a second to look at Liam, but when I looked back I noticed she was walking away with a few other people. That’s when it hit me; I was letting her get away. Louis looked at me and frowned. “Are you okay, Harry?” he asked me. I looked at him and then back into the crowd and I knew she was gone. I shoved my microphone into Louis’s hands, jumped off the side of the stage and took off running in the direction where I saw her walk away. “HAROLD, YOU IDIOT!” Louis shouted and ran after me. Paul followed behind the both of us. The rest of the lads ran after us out of curiosity and then fans started chasing us too. I ran into people and almost tripped on my own feet. I stopped running and looked around. “She had to have gone this way, I swear!” I said to myself. I looked back and saw Louis and Paul right on my tail. When I looked ahead of me, I saw her come out of a surf shop on the board walk whilst looking down at her cell phone. I ran over and, because I was running too fast, I couldn’t come to a complete stop and I slipped on the sand, falling at her feet and smacking my forehead into the wood floor. “Oww….” I groaned. She knelt down next to me. “Oh my god, Are you okay?!” she asked me. I looked up and our eyes met. They twinkled under the moonlight, her hair shined and her skin glowed like her eyes. “Oh… Erm, I think so…” I said trying to sit up. She helped me up and then gently touched my forehead. “Ouch!” I shouted. She cringed, “Eww… Here,” she untied the ribbon in her hair and placed it on my cut. “Leave this there until it stops bleeding.” I nodded and placed my hand on the ribbon. Paul was the first to arrive at the scene. He looked down at me, “Are you alright?!” I nodded and tried to stand up, “I believe so…” But, I became dizzy as I lifted myself and I fell back down, grabbing the girl’s wrist and accidentally pulling her down on top of me. Our eyes met again. “I am so sorry!” I said to her. She looked like she stopped breathing. She cleared her throat, “Oh no, it’s fine…” She got up, brushed the sand off her summer dress and held out her hand to offer to help me up. I grasped her hand tightly and she pulled me to my feet. Once Louis arrived, he looked at the girl and I and made this weird grin. “Oh, I see what you did there.” he said to me. I went over to hit him on the back of the head but, I think I hurt my leg when I fell and I fell into Louis’s arms. He touched my cut, “Ouch that must suck!” I smacked his hand away and put the ribbon back on it. All the lads arrived and Zayn and Liam helped me stand. I looked at the girl and grinned, “Thank you for helping me with my accident.” She looked up at me and grinned back, “Oh, you’re welcome. I uhh, hope your head feels better.” I laughed and nodded. “Erm, what’s your name, love?” I asked her. She cocked one of her eyebrows, “My name?” I nodded slightly and then smirked. She giggled, “Oh, hah… My name is Taryn…” I held out my hand, “I’m Harry…” Taryn giggled and shook my hand, “I know who you are.” Paul rushed over. “No time for chats, we need to leave now!” All the fans were heading straight for us. I nodded but, looked down at Taryn again. “Are you staying around here?” I asked her. Taryn looked at the fans and then shook her head. “No but, I’ll be around.” She said looking back at me. I smiled at her. Paul pushed us, “So sorry to interrupt but, we have to leave!” I sighed and frowned, “Oh… Bye Taryn…” She sighed, “Bye Harry…” All of us rushed over to the car, where Eleanor, Danielle and Perrie were waiting for us, we all piled in and then shut and locked the doors. Paul immediately sped off. I looked out the window looking back at the beach and smiled as I thought of Taryn again.
