Gotta Be Him {Harry Styles Fanfic}

Chapter 8

Hello!! I'm sorry i haven't uploaded in a few days but i've been at work a LOT since i'm on summer holidays atm. BTW i wld just like to remind you that this story will have mature themes and i won't warm you before the chapter because it would give away too much. So this chapter is a bit of a filler but yeahhh..... ;) :) ENJOY!!!!!!!!

Chapter 8:

The performance was in half an hour, the boys had gotten dressed and were now getting makeup and hair done. I sneakily whipped my phone out of my pocket and snapped a picture of all the boys getting their makeup done.

Never thought I’d see the day where my boyfriend is getting his makeup done! Lol

I posted the picture with that and giggled when I saw Niall’s horrified expression as he checked twitter a few minutes later seeing the picture in which he and Harry are clearly visible.  

“LEXI!” He screeched and I laughed evilly. The makeup lady didn’t look happy with him and she gave me a murderous look. Harry looked at me confused and Niall looked like he had steam coming out his ears.

“Oh god Lexi!” Harry groaned as he checked twitter and I laughed. I showed the girls since they didn’t have twitter and they just burst out laughing. Within a few seconds there were girls retweeting the picture and posting things about how cute they were and stuff. I shoved my phone back into my pocket and chatted to everyone until they were told to get their butts on stage. They waited off to the sides of the stage and I could hear the host chatting about One Direction. Harry and Niall we shaking out their legs and arms trying to relax as Zayn checked his hair, Liam checked his ear-piece and Louis was mumbling incoherent things to himself.

“Good luck babe” I whispered into Harry’s ear kissing him swiftly on the lips before all the boys ran out on stage. The girls in the audience screamed so loud I winced and Eleanor and Danielle did the same. As the music started Liam started singing and when Harry started singing his voice was strong but I could hear the hint of nervousness. As the lights started to dim and the music cut out my heart leaped nervously for Harry.

“Baby, you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me over whelmed. But when you smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell. You don’t know-oh-oh. You don’t know you’re beautiful!!” Harry sung.

I‘ll admit he didn’t nail it perfectly, but it’s his first performance live of their own song. He sung it perfectly well but he was slightly breathless. I could see his hands shaking as he held the microphone and at the end of the solo he didn’t seem to be himself. My heart went out to him, I knew he went fine but Harry is the sort of person who goes too hard on themselves. When the song had finished and the host had finished their chat the boys came over to us. Harry was unusually quiet and he hugged me as soon as he spotted me and we just stood there with our arms around each other. His face was buried on my shoulder and I could feel him struggling to keep in tears. When he pulled away I brushed his curls out of his eyes and left my hand on his cheek.

“Don’t be hard on yourself Harry. You did great and I’m so proud of you” I said truthfully and he shook his head with a small miserable smile on his lips.

“I did shit and you know it Lexi. I’ve let everyone down” He said and I frowned.

“Harry do not talk like that! You didn’t do shit and the boys, Danielle, Eleanor and I know that and you sure as hell didn’t let anybody down!” I exclaimed and he shook his head and gave me another hug.

“We’ll be going soon” He said pulling away grabbing his water bottle and heading back to the dressing rooms. I pulled Niall aside and he frowned confused.
