Starting over

Chapter 12

I sit down and look around the large theatre. Tess looks at me like I am crazy. "How are you not freaking out?! There are so many famous people here?!" She says to me and I shrug my shoulders.

"They are just normal people but they have jobs that make everyone know about them. And plus I don't really like any of these people." I say and she shakes her head.

"I forgot you only like old music." She says and I make a face at her.

"You do?!" Zayn says and I nod my head. "Like what?"

"Classic rock like Pink Floyd and Nirvana." I say and he nods.

"Good taste in music." Niall says smiling at me kindly.

"Do you listen to anything else? Like modern music?" Liam asks.

Harry answers before I can open my mouth. "Nope."

I look at him and he gives me a funny look. "Yeah. I don't like anything else. But I am open to suggestions."

"We will work with you later." Louis says smirking at me.

"Hello boys!" Some blonde chick says and the boys stand up to give her hugs.

"Hey Taylor." Harry says and she holds on to him a little longer than the others. When she pulls away Harry doesn't look very happy, I am surprised because she is really pretty.

"Who are your friends?" She asks glaring at me and Tess.

"This is Tess, Josh's girlfriend." Liam says pointing at Tess.

"And this is Becca. She is a friend of Harry's." Zayn says watching Taylor to see her response. She glares at me some more then gives me a fake smile.

"Nice to meet you girls." She says hugging Tess and I.

"Nice to meet you too!" I tell her. They talk a while then she walks away. Once she leaves, everyone relaxes.

"Who is she?" I ask and Niall looks at me like I am crazy.

"You honestly don't know who she is?!" He says laughing a little. I shake my head. "That's Taylor Swift."

"Oh. Ok." I say not knowing what that means.

"Ok. Tomorrow we are coming over and helping you with knowing more music." Zayn says and I laugh.

"Sounds good to me because I have no idea what is going on." They all laugh and shake their heads.

"How have you not had her listen to any new music?" Louis asks Tess.

"She doesn't let me and I don't push." She says and Josh holds her hand.

"I am not really into it. But honestly I thought that she was the only one that wanted me to. But not now I guess not." I smile and we are told to take our seats so it can start.

I sit in between Harry and Niall. They talk about each person that performs on stage and everything they say is so funny.

"One direction. Please come with me. You need to get ready." Some lady in black says.

Harry gets up and I grab his hand before he leaves. "You are performing?" I ask surprised.

"Surprise!" He says before the lady leads them away to get ready.

"Did you know about this?!" I ask Tess and she nods.

"Just wait there is more." She smiles at me and I shake my head.

"You know I don't like big things like this for me!"

"But it's about time that you got one." She says and I grab her hand and give her a hug.

When the boys get on stage just before they start the song Harry says something. "Today is my good friends birthday. She is sitting right there." He points at me. "Can we wish her a happy birthday?!" Everyone cheers then he goes on. "This is her favorite song and we dedicate it to you Becca. Happy birthday! I hope you are having a great time spending your birthday with us because I know we are having a blast."

The first notes of They Don't Know About Us come on and I start to tear up. I know people are looking at me and I know that there are cameras aimed at me. Tess holds my hand and I wipe my eyes. Harry looks at me the whole time. After they finish and everyone is cheering, Harry blows me a kiss. It's a good thing my makeup is water proof because tears stream down my face.

Once they come back, I turn to Harry and give him a huge hug. Then I get up and give louis, Niall, Zayn, Liam and josh hugs also. I sit back down and turn to Harry. "Thank you." It's all I could say. I am speechless.

"We wanted to make this a special day for a special girl." He says smiling. He grabs hold of my hand and squeezes it. We hold hands for the rest of the award show.

Once it was over, we get up and I think we are going back to the car. But Liam turns and yells "Time for the after party!"

"What?!" I ask Harry and he smiles.

"We have to go to an after party! And plus it's your birthday! Don't you want to go to at least one party?!" He asks and I shrug. He helps me into the limo and we head to the party.
