Behind the Glasses

I work at a bakery...?

"I can't do this..." Harry says looking out the window.

He's been really nervous all day, he skipped school today even though we were only going for half the day anyway because the drive was so long. He also refused to drive because he said he'd be thinking about the audition and crash the car.... I think the word 'nervous' was an understatement.

"Yes you can, Harry I've heard you sing and you'll be fine! I promise."

**2 hours later**

"Name?" The lady sitting at the table asked.

"Um, Harry Styles." He says, "I got my number already because I w-"

"Ahh yes, I see it right here." She says pointing to her paper, "number 165998?"

"Yes mame"

"Okay, here's your sticker, you'll need to put it on now so we can send you backstage." Harry does as the lady has told him to and grabs my hand before heading past the table towards a door with a sign that states 'Backstage Entrance'.

"I'm sorry, but Only people who have an audition number are allowed to enter." The security guard says as we approach the door.

"I'm not going in there without her..."

"Then I guess your not auditioning...." The security guard rudely replies.

"What's the issue here?" I hear a male voice from behind me... Zayn?

"Um, nothing Mr. Malik sir.... Your free to g-" the security guard begins before Harry cuts him off, "He won't let Ally come in with me because she doesn't have an audition number..."

"You've got to be kidding me" he stares at Harry before turning to the guard, "Juan, they're with me and if I say she can go in, she can."

"Yes, Mr.Malik... Of course." The guard says to my surprise, holding the door open and letting us through.

"Hey, thanks man." Harry says to Zayn doing one of those guy handshake things where they kinda shake hands while they sorta hug yet they are slapping each other's backs...idk, it's guy thing... How am I supposed to understand?

"We need Number 165616, entering from stage left in 30 seconds!!" Someone yells.

"Well that's my cue..." Zayn says.

"Good Luck!" Both Harry and I call back to him.

"How'd he do that?!" I turn to Harry.

"His uncle owns the place"

"Oh" that explains it. Zayn enters the stage and sings very nicely. The judges love it and he's through.

"Number 165998, you've got 2 minutes!"

"I can't do this..." Harry turns to me panicked.

"Shhh, yes you can." He looks around the room panicking, suddenly increasing his breathing.

"look at me.." I say taking his face in my hands. "Breath. Don't get yourself all worked up, it's just me" he rests his forehead against mine.

"Your right, this is my second chance and I'm not getting a third, this is our moment and It's not getting screwed up again."

"And I love you no matter what.." I say giving him a kiss.

"NUMBER 165998 we need you on stage NOW!!" A voice booms through backstage

"I love you too." He says giving me one more kiss and a hug before turning to go on stage.

"Number 165998 entering from stage left." The voice booms again.

"This one for you Ally!" Harry calls back before walking on to the stage with a huge smile on his face. I quickly run over to the tv backstage so I can watch him. As soon as he's on the stage I watch a huge grin come on to his face and the crowd cheers already affected by the charming effect he seems to have with everyone.

"Hi what's your name?" Simon asks.

"Harry Styles." He says in his beautiful British accent.

"Tell me about yourself Harry."

"Ummm, well I work at a bakery." Harry says and they laugh.

"But you still study rig-"

"Well I work on Saturdays..."

"Okay, okay." Simon says nodding, "so what are you planning on studying?"

"Um, at university Im going to study law, um Sociology, business..." Harry starts counting each off on his fingers and the judges look pretty impressed.

"Alright, whenever your ready Harry...." Simon says. Come on Harry you have this... It's just you and me, that's all. He takes one deep breath, closing his eyes before he starts to sing,

'Isn't she lovely'

"WOOOOOOOOOO!" A bunch of girls in the crowd scream and I can tell by the look in his eyes that even that boosted his confidence and I know he has this.


'Isnt she wonderful,


Isn't she precious,


Less than one minute old..


I never thought through love we'd be


Making one as lovely as she


But isn't she lovely made from love.'


And the crowd goes crazy! I'm nervous as hell, but all judges said yes without hesitation!!! The face he had when they said yes, the realization, the look his eyes. It's the look that tell you 'my dreams just came true'. The look that tells you 'everything I need and want is right in front of me'. He says his thank yous to the judges giving the crowd one more smile and wave before I watch on the tv run off the stage.

When I turn around I see him running towards me, arms open wide. So I run towards him and he takes me into a huge hug, lifting me off the ground and spinning me around in circles.

"I told you they'd love you!!!" I say as he sets me down but he doesn't say anything, his lips just meet mine.

"Thank you so much Ally." Hg says when our lips finally break.

"For what?"

"Everything. Giving me a chance and not judging me by my looks.

And then if that wasn't good enough you believed in me when I didn't even believe in myself....

Your the reason I started singing again, before you I haven't sang since I ran away from my family.. I thought my dreams of being a singer would never come true, I thought I'd never sing again and now my dreams are finally coming true.... All because of you."
