The Show

Virginie's Point Of View

September 5th

Once I step out of the room, I feel flustered. It feels like a dream yet so very real. What's just happened? I'm happy and giddy and it was so not what I thought it would be.

The guards leave me to go back to the boys and I catch a glimpse of Harry peeking through the open door from where he was standing. Our eyes meet again and smiles grow on our faces.  I quickly and gracefully wave at him, the giddiness winning me over again. He responds by dangling his fingers at me with a funny grin on his face. It was so unexpected for his response to be this weird, it makes me instantly smile and laugh with as little noise I can make.

The door closes again and I feel the same emptiness I felt when Harry let go of me. I don't know what is going on with me... Wasn't Liam my favourite out of the four boys? Yes, but Harry made me feel... What did Harry make me feel? The only thing I'm sure of is that it was really real. And magical. And simply the best moment of my entire life.

I'm reliving my memories of what I've just experienced when my best friend Heidi joins me with excitement.

"Do you believe it, Virginie?! We met One Direction! I feel like the luckiest woman in the world! How was it? Did you hug them? I did! Though nobody really talked except Louis and Liam... Harry seemed tense, maybe he's tired or stressed for tonight..." She is so excited, she speaks very quickly. I can clearly relate to her enthusiasm.

I nod to her comments since I can't reply to them. I continue listening to her talk about her experience while we walk to the pick up stand. It doesn't take more than five minutes and we are called to pick up our photo with the boys. We leave the crowd and head for our seats. There's already quite a lot of people seated even though the doors aren't officially open yet. Heidi can't stop talking. She does that when she is nervous. I guess it applies for when she's excited too.

I need to use the restroom so I leave her a moment and take advantage of this moment to buy some merch and a little something to eat. The second I come back, Heidi decides to do the exact same thing. She is gone maybe half an hour and the stadium is maybe half filled when she comes back.

"You never told me how it went? It was quite long..." She asks me with a curious frown on her face as she takes a bite of her hot dog. I shake my head in response. No it wasn't long, it must have been a minute more or less. "I got the time to hug them take the picture and leave, it took maybe 20 seconds."

I look at my picture. It was taken about the time I heard the "clip", when Harry and I were looking at each other. I look at him intently. He is smiling with his adorable dimples, his green eyes piercing into mine. I look so small next to them. I can see my blushed cheeks.

I'm about to ask Heidi to see hers when something catches my eye. White paper peeking through his pocket. Was that the paper he ripped from my notebook? Where's my notebook? I look for it in the picture and Harry has it in his hand behind his back.

I put my picture on my knees and look for my notebook in my bag. What did he do with it? I pick it up and open the first page. My name is still there and so is the next page when I told them I woke up without my voice, but the next two pages are missing. I had written something like "I'll sing with my heart" in case they'd asked me what I would have done during the show and a thank you message with my love. Instead of those two pages, I find a note written by him. "The true beauty of someone is discovered by their actions. Don't ever lose that beautiful smile! Love, Harry ♥"

Shivers are covering my body from head to toes. I immediately close my notebook and hide it in my bag. Am I going to show it to Heidi? I don't know... She loves him so much and I don't think she had the chance to have a note. I don't want to hurt her feelings, since it's because of her we're here in the first place.
