...But You Don't Notice at All. (One Direction)

"Dating"

You make beautiful things, you make beautiful things

out of the dust

you make beautiful things, you make beautiful things

out of us

I stared at the microphone in my hands and picked at the blue tape at the bottom. The audience knew that show time was fast approaching so the screams were so loud I could barely hear myself think. Usually, this would motivate me to do well, but given the situation, I just want to go curl up in a ball and die. I heard the clicking of heels behind me, which could only mean one thing. I turned around to see Karen from Modest smiling behind me.

"Are you excited?" She asked.

"About that.." I said uncertainly, "it's probably best if Harry and I don't kiss because there's pretty much a zero percent chance that we'll ever start dating,"

"Oh honey," she smiled, "no one expects you two to actually date,"

I gave her a confused look.

"We just want the two of you to pretend for a little while, just for the publicity," she added.

"Pardon?" I said. Wait what? They want me to pull off a publicity stunt. After what I just told Harry. This is even more work for him, but at the same time, this is the closest I can allow myself to be with him. I've been trying out the whole "if you love something, set it free" but I'm calling bullshit on the whole thing! If you love someone, you don't want to be apart from them, even the mention of them makes your heart leap. You want the both of you to be together all the time, forever.

"You know what," said Karen cutting of my thoughts, "you need to go on soon, I'll explain later. Break a leg!" And just like that, she was gone, and I was shoved into the wing. I saw Harry and offered him a small smile, which he surprisingly returned.

Niall pinched my cheek as he passed me with his Irish flag microphone to go on stage, and the audience went wild.

"How're you all doing tonight?" Niall asked.

The audience roared.

"Well, I think the boys should be coming out soon, but first, we've got something pretty cool for you guys. Who here knows who Kat is?"

Screams echoed.

"And how many of you know who Harry Styles is?"

The crowd screamed even louder.

"That's exciting because we've got them both here tonight, to perform for the first time ever, their new single TOGETHER, called "You Can Take Me Home!"" Niall ran off the stage and the music started.

I took a deep breath and got ready to sing, somehow, I didn't miss my cue

"I see faces pass and I draw back in fear

My whole life three little words I'll never hear

I've never loved or been loved by someone

Partying crazy has just stopped being fun

I just want someone to hold me and tell me it's okay

But every boy I see turns his head away" I sang unable to look at Harry across the stage

"I see a girl across the bar

Her body's close but her mind is far

She appears run down and tired of life

A kiss from my lips could end her strife

Should I go and take a chance?

Believe in love at first glance?" Harry sang. His voice was even more gravely than usual, which caused louder screams from the crowd.
