You and I

Concert.

Please listen to the video. It is me singing! Sorry I might sound like I'm dying though. I'm slightly sick.

After a short drive to the arena, we were finally there. I was fashionably five minutes lake, just like I like it. My driver excited the limo and walked around to open my door. He extended his arm and I gracefully accepted, exciting the car. He shut my door for me. Everyone there stopped to look at me. I despised the attention I get for looking out of place. I just want to be seen as normal.
"What is she wearing. She does know this isn't a ball, doesn't she. Who does she think she is? The princess. Wait, are those royal flags? I think she is the princess." I heard all of these comments.
"Guard, what it your name?" I asked. I hated seeming uptight and detached.
"My name is Philip, your highness." He responded.
"I prefer Bri. I'm a friend, not a queen. Philip, you are dismissed. I will call Steven, the driver when I need a ride home. You may have the night off."
"But your mother," I cut him off.
"My mother may be the queen, but I am princess. What I say is also to be followed. Please, I'm sure you have a family missing you. Why don't you visit them."
"Thank you Bri. I will visit. Thank you for giving me time off. You are a true friend of all." I looked around and everyone was staring with me mouths open. I guess they thought I would be stuck up.
"Of course. Good bye Philip. Enjoy your night." And with that I walked over to some people to engage in conversation. "Hello, what is your name? My name is Brittany; however, I prefer to be called Bri."
"I-I'm Megan. It's nice to meet you. May i be permitted to ask a question?"
"You don't need my permission to ask questions. Ask away."
"Ok. Why are you dressed so nicely? This is a casual event."
"This is the most casual outfit I own that my mother will let me out of the house in. After the meet and greet I'm changing into the most casual outfit I own. It's still really nice though. One of the downside of being royal. I hate t sometimes. I really just want to be normal. Ya know?"
"I can see why you would want that. It must be a lot of pressure, always having people watching your every move. You really don't have privacy. Much like 1D. You must really be able to relate to them." Megan was really chill.
"Yeah, I feel like there is this extra connection to them. I have five extra invitations to my birthday ball tomorrow. Would you like to attend?"
"I would love to, but I have nothing to wear" she was disappointed.
"That's ok. You can borrow one of my old gowns. I can't wear them more than once. You can have one."
"Thank you! I would be honored to attend. Thank you for the invite." She was so excited.
"Of course. Here is your invitation. You can bring one person with you. Will you come to the palace at four? That way we can pick a dress. Your guest can come at that time to. I think that you are up next. There is no one else left besides us and my mother told me to go last." I told her.
                 "They are ending early." Megan stated. I felt bad but I told her the truth.
              "My mother bought two time slots. I come to every concert and all the meet and greets. A bonus of being royal I guess."
             "Lucky! Well I got to go. See you tomorrow! Bye Bri."
              "Bye Megan. See you tomorrow." I couldn't wait to see my boys. When Megan left I glided over to the guys. "Hello!"
               "Hiya Bri! You never told us you were a royal. What country are a princess of?" Harry asked.
            "I'm the princess of England.  But I'm not next in line for the throne or anything. Thank goodness. I couldn't handle all that attention. Being a princess is enough."
            "Sweet. It's cool. We totally understand the attention thing. Picture time?" Harry responded.
           "Most definitely. Harry would you like to be my Prince Charming? Liam and Louis and Zayn and Niall, will you pose like you're mid waltz. Harry, could you bow while I curtesy?"
           "Sure!" They all replied. My ocean blue eyes were gazing into Harry's emerald green ones. I could get lost in them. After I heard the camera click, we all straightened up.
            "How about Harry dips you and we all stand looking jealous?" Niall suggested.
           "It would be my honor," Harry replied. Harry spun me into his arms and dipped me. It was clear that he knew how to ballroom dance.
            "I was wondering, I'm having a birthday ball tomorrow and you're all in town. Would you like to come. I have four extra invitations."
           "But there are five of us," Harry said.
           "Well, Harry I was wondering if you would like to be my date. I need to have one according to my mother. The rest of you could bring someone. There is a plus one in the invitation."
           "I would be honored to be your date. But we have nothing to wear." Harry pointed out.
           "My mother has something for you to wear Harry and we have extra tuxedos for you guys. You could arrive around four? That gives us time to tailor them if needed. You can bring your guests too." I hoped that this would be ok.
           "Sounds amazing," Harry smiled. I handed Niall, Zayn, Liam, and Louis their invitations.
          "I will have your names on the list to get into the palace at four tomorrow. I can't wait. I should go. You have soundcheck."
          "Why don't you come with us? I have a pass for you." Harry looked hopeful. I could get changed backstage.
        "Sure. Could I get changed backstage?"
         "Absolutely. Also we have an extra seat in the guest section. It is all yours. Let's go!" Harry was so happy. I'm so glad that I caused that happiness. We headed backstage and Harry walked me to the bathroom where I quickly changed. When I exited the bathroom, Harry was there waiting for me. He escorted me to the green room. There waiting was  the rest of the boys, Sophie, Perrie, and Elenor. Gemma was also there. Lottie wasn't. I guess that I'm taking her spot. "Everyone, this is Princess Brittany of England. But she prefers to be called Bri. She is my guest. Bri, I'm sure you know who everyone is."
        "Yes I do. Hi everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you all." 
           "Harry, may I talk to you?" Gemma asked.
          "Sure. I'll be right back." He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. I walked over to the couch closest to the wall. I knew that I would be able to hear them. It was eavesdropping, but I was curious. I pulled out a book and pretended to read. Everyone else was playing a game or talking to someone.
            "Harry, this is the first time you have had a guest outside of the family. Why her? Is it because she is a royal?" I heard Gemma say.
           "Goodness no. There is something about her. She is sweet and treats everyone as an equal even though she is royal. She has a kind heart and is friendly to everyone. I've never meet anyone like her. I look into her eyes and they show complete honesty. I think I'm falling for her. I really do."
             "I'm going to ask her about her feeling towards you." I heard the door open. I slowly turned the page. I had already read this book, so I knew what was happening. "Hey Bri, can I talk to you?"
          "Sure!" I followed her out of the room. "What did you want to talk to me about?"
          "I'm going to be blunt. What are your feelings towards my brother?" She was very blunt and I appreciated that.
         "Thank you for being blunt. Not a lot of people do that and I'm grateful that you did. I really like your brother. I've got to all of the meet and greets. I enjoy talking to him. I can have an honest conversation and I just feel like he understands. He gets what I'm going through with the media. Not a lot of people do. And I can tell that he is very sweet. He care about all his fans and is very down to earth. He has a kind heart and doesn't belittle anyone's feelings. He doesn't elevate himself. Honestly, I think that I might love him. But I would need to get to know him better to find out. And I would love to get to know him. That's why I invited him to my ball as my date."
            "I can tell that you are being honest. Not once did you mention fame or money. I think that you and my brother are perfect for each other. I also can tell that we will be great friends. Let's go before they get suspicious."  We went back.
          "Hey Bri! Wanna play pool?" Niall asked.
        "Sure! Game on. I'm so going to beat you." I grew up playing pool. I beat him by four balls.
          "How are you so good at this!?" Niall exclaimed.
        "It's part of being royal. I'm also good at table tennis, golf, any card game, board games, croquet, cricket, and fütbol."
          "How about the American football?" Louis asked.
          "I'm decent at it. I love to swim, to run, and to do gymnastics. I also love to read, write, sing, and song write."
          "Will you sing for me?" Harry asked. I pondered what song I should sing. I decided on You and I. I closed my eyes and began to sing.
       "I figured it out. I figured it out from black and white. Seconds and hours. Maybe they had to take some time. I know how it goes. I know how it goes from wrong and right. Silence and sound. Did they ever hold each other tight Like us? Did they ever fight Like us?" I took a deep breath and belted the cours out.
         "You and I. We don't wanna be like them. We can make it 'til the end. Nothing can come between. You and I. Not even the Gods above. Can separate the two of us. No, nothing can come between. You and I. Oh, you and I." I slowly opened my eyes.
       "I figured it out. Saw the mistakes of up and down. Meet in the middle. There's always room for common ground. I see what it's like. I see what it's like for day and night. Never together. 'Cause they see things in a different light Like us, but they never tried Like us." I sang softly.
       "You and I. We don't wanna be like them
We can make it 'til the end. Nothing can come between. You and I. Not even the Gods above. Can separate the two of us.  'Cause you and I. We don't wanna be like them. We can make it 'til the end. Nothing can come. between. You and I. Not even the Gods above. Can separate the two of us. No, nothing can come between. You and I, you and I. Oh, you and I. Oh, you and I. We can make it if we try. You and I.  Oh, you and I." I finished looking directly at Harry.
            "That was beautiful. You should sing this with us." Harry said.
         "I couldn't. This is your show." I told them.
         "Just this song. Please!" Zayn and Liam begged.
          "Ok. Just this song." I gave in. My mother wouldn't be terrible pleased but whatever.
         "Yay! Will you sing the first half of the second chorus solo. Please?" Harry asked.
          "Why not. I might as well." I cannot believe I just agreed to that. Harry is the only one able to make me do that with a simple please. We decided that I would stay backstage for the concert. They were closing with You and I. The concert went great finally it was time for the last song.
              "We have a special guest for this last song. Let me go get her." I heard Harry tell the audience. He walked backstage and grabbed my hand, pulling me onstage with him. Thank goodness I didn't have stage fright.
           [Niall:]

         "Thank you everyone for coming out. Have a good night!" Harry told the audience before grabbing my hand and running off stage with me. This was a perfect night.
