The Boy In The Beanie (Fetus Harry Styles)

Please Don't Go

I had completely forgotten about the school talent show. I heard that the winner gets some special reward or something. It doesn't matter I'm talentless haha. As everyday goes by summer inches closer and closer soon I'll be a freshman no more.

I really can't wait for the summer. I can't wait to spend every warm morning and every hot afternoon with my fingers intwined with Harry's.

Yes, you read that right I'm giving him another chance I'm giving us another chance, at least for the summer because during the summer I don't have anything necessarily important to focus on.

I'm not going to do it just yet we still have a few weeks of school left.

As the end of the year talent show comes along it seems like everyone is preparing for it except me. I still have yet to find out what the prize is.

I find Harry at his locker and it's been a while since I've talked to him.

"Hey what's up with the talent show? I see people who I never thought would sing warming up their vocal chords."

"Oh hi... uh the winner gets sent to the X Factor to audition."

"Oh my god! Are you serious?!"

"Yah why else would the whole school be doing it?"

"I don't know. Isn't Aria doing a solo?" I ask.

"Mm hmm. She's really good."

"I hope you all do good but I'll be honest with you Harry."

"What?"

"Aria and Luke are your real competition."

"Should I be worried?" he asks in a cocky manner.

"Very." I answer.

He gives me a strange look I don't think he's ever been told that. Truth is if he wins then he gets taken away by people who will only care about how much many he makes them, they'll never truly appreciate his heart and talent they'll use him, beat him down, and change him.

Then again, I can't stop him, can't tell him not to do the talent show. As his friend I have to be supportive and think of what he wants rather than just what I want.

When the day comes along
(the day I've been dreading) the day of the talent show I see some... interesting performances that's the nice way to put it. A lot aren't that bad but I wouldn't say X Factor worthy and a lot are just bad. Finally we are down to the last three performances. Aria, Luke, and Harry.

Luke's performance of 'Please Don't Go' by Mike Posner was jaw dropping by the time he's was done he had people standing on their feet I think he has a good chance against Harry which is good because like I said deep down there's a part of me that doesn't want him to win so that he won't leave and forget about me.

The chance I thought Luke had against Harry has disintegrated and floated away. As soon as Aria sings 'Jar of Hearts' by Christina Perri the room goes silent the strength in her voice mixed in with her piano playing I think was even enough to get Harry worried.

Finally it's Harry who walks on stage. I see that Aria hasn't left the stage yet, I wonder what's going on. Harry takes hold of the microphone in front of Aria, looks around as if searching for something or someone in the crowd. His eyes find mine and he smiles.

"This is a little something I wrote for a girl I fancy, you know who you are. It's called... 'Don't Let Me Go'" he says with a wink.

Aria begins to play as Harry sings.

"Now you were standing there right in front of me
I hold on it's getting harder to breathe
All of a sudden these lights are blinding me
I never noticed how bright they would be

I saw in the corner there is a photograph
No doubt in my mind it's a picture of you
It lies there alone in its bed of broken glass
This bed was never made for two

I'll keep my eyes wide open
I'll keep my arms wide open

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

I promised one day that I'd bring you back a star
I caught one and it burned a hole in my hand oh
Seems like these days I watch you from afar
Just trying to make you understand
I'll keep my eyes wide open yeah

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
Don't let me
Don't let me go

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of sleeping alone."

I wipe my tears from my eyes and I can see that he does the same. I realize that just because I was ok and I wasn't taking it hard doesn't mean that he wasn't. The first thing I'm going to do when he gets off that stage is hug him and tell him how I feel.

They've brought all the contestants on the stage, the principle walks behind each person, holds her hand over their heads, and whichever gets the most cheers wins. I cheer equally for Luke, Aria, and Harry.

It's a tie between Aria and Harry so the ultimate decision is left to the judges. After about five minutes the principal finally walks on stage.

"First of all I'd like to say you all should be very proud of yourselves you did so well but ultimately we can only send one person from this talent show to audition for the X Factor where they will be away for a while."

Oh no.

"And the winner is..."

Please don't say Harry please don't say Harry please don't say-

"Aria."

My heart drops.
What have I done?
