Chapter 4 (ll)
Harry’s Pov
STEP 4
“Harry just breathe okay, it won’t be that bad.” I rolled my eyes. “Umm yes it will, how about we don’t do it but say we did?” he laughed. “That’s cute, real cute but no, you have to do this, isn’t this whole step thing your idea? Surely you have to follow through.” I groaned. “I hate it when you're right.” He ran further in front of me and yelled “AND I LOVE IT WHEN I AM!”
I watched Niall skip ahead of me and do some random actions that made the people walking around us stare at the idiot. I loved how Niall didn’t care about anything, he was so free, bright and happy and it really made his personality shine.
“Here we are.” Niall gestured to a door with the words ‘O’Hagan’s’ above it. I assumed that this was the pub. I rolled my eyes at the name. “Two things Harry, one, stop rolling your eyes and two, you know I'm Irish and proud so bite me.” Nobody could say that Niall wasn’t entertaining.
He pushed the door open and nodded indicating for me to go in first. I walked in timidly, not quite sure of what to expect. The interior had a typical bar set-up on the one side, but towards the front was a small illuminated stage. When the door shut multiple eyes turned to us casually.
“Ahh Niall, how are ya mate?” well clearly he was known here. “You gonna perform tonight?” ask another guy. So Niall had performed here previously and I had no idea. I guess there were sides of him I didn’t really ever get to see. In a way it saddened me a bit.
Niall laughed gently. “Erm not today, my friend here.” He gestured to me. “Is performing tonight, I’ll be accompanying him though.” The man raised his eyebrow. “Are you Harry?” umm he knew me? I didn’t know to react so I just nodded. “Erm yeah I am.” I blushed. I didn’t know why but it’s just weird. “Ahh Niall here is always talking about you, says you're special.”
I turned to look at Niall who was currently glaring at the guy. Before I could comment on the situation he dragged me away. “Erm we need to warm up bye.” I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact had not only spoken about me but had also called me special, but also what was up with that reaction?
“Okay so warm up?” I looked at him questioningly when he just sat on a random table. “Argh you don’t need to warm up, we did before we left and it’s not like some huge performance or something.” then why did we stop walking to that guy? I was beyond confused now but I didn’t have the guts to ask why. So maybe this performance would really help, because clearly I needed it.
I sort of disappeared into my own bubble until it was time for the performance. I never understood the term ‘shitting bricks’ until now. I didn’t have butterflies in my stomach I literally had birds of something much, much larger.
“Up next we have a great regular Niall, who’s going to accompany his friend, first time performer, Harry Styles.” Lord help me, it was now or never. I felt Niall grab my hand, squeezing it twice; he could probably tell how nervous I was. He leaned over and whispered. “Just breathe and all will go well okay?”
“Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love him when you let him go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love him when you let him go
And you let him go”
I didn’t look up at al. I couldn’t make any eye contact with anyone for fear of messing up. I didn’t need to be ridiculed. But I had more guts than most of these people didn’t I? I was standing on this stage actually doing this. The minute I realised this I looked up and faced my fears head on.
“Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see him when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love him when you let him go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love him when you let him go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see him when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved him too much and you dive too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love him when you let him go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love him when you let him go
And you let him go
Oh oh oh no
And you let him go
Oh oh oh no
Well you let him go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love him when you let him go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love him when you let him go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love him when you let him go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love him when you let him go
And you let him go”
All I could think in this moment was that I had done it, and you know what I had actually enjoyed myself.
STEP 4 – COMPLETE
Niall’s POV
Today I almost got caught. I made the mistake of bringing Harry to the pub I perform in regularly, it’s also the pub I drown my sorrows and get chatty in. Today Matthew, a mate of mine, almost told Harry that I loved him. It was an innocent mistake I guess but I know that the consequences would not be good for me.
Harry absolutely killed his performance and seemed to enjoy it actually!! I was so proud of him. The song that he sang made me realise I couldn’t and wouldn’t let him because that would be my biggest regret in life, if only he knew how meaningful that song was to me, if only he knew how I felt.
