The Main Act (H.S) - discontinued

Sign of the Times

@MrsAvaMae: I'm so happy / proud / excited for you, H. You're already killin' it, just as I knew you would bc you're a legend. You're also the only person I would ever willingly be awake for over 24 hours straight for just for the release of a single...♡ #SignoftheTimes

"Wake up wake up wake up!"

Harry groans, rolling over onto his stomach. He mumbles something into his pillow that I can't understand and I move over to lay on top of him. He groans once again, but lets out a sigh as I kiss his shoulder.

"Your single comes out in an hour."

"I know it does," he chuckles. "I've been awake every other hour or so from nerves. Now get back next to me, I wanna cuddle."

I roll off of him and he immediately shifts so he can wrap his arms around me. I snuggle up into him, trying to stay awake despite how tired I was. I'd only flown into the U.K yesterday, so I was sleepy from the time change.

"Did Gem say what time she was coming over?"

"I think around lunchtime," I answer him.

We lay there for another hour and talk, all snuggled up to each other. He'd taken a liking to playing with my hair this morning, which I was more than okay with. He's been gone a few weeks now, so being with him was calming in itself.

Close to eight, we headed downstairs to make breakfast. Harry stares at his computer for a good minute once the BBCR1 site is on the screen. I could tell he wanted to hit play, but also didn't. He turns to me, his bottom lip tugged back by his teeth.

"Ave, what if they don't like it?"

I give him a soft smile and walk over to him. I wrap my arms around his torso and rub my hands along his skin in a soothing manner.

"They're gonna love it, H," I say quietly. "They miss you and they miss your voice. You could release you singing the ABC's as a single and it'd still be a hit. Don't worry about it babe. It's an incredible song."

He kisses my forehead in thanks and reaches over to his laptop again. He hits play, which is when Nicks voice fills our kitchen through the bluetooth speakers we had.

"In just a few minutes Mr. Harry Styles will be joining me to debut his brand new single. Stay tuned!"

"Ava!"

I spin around, scanning the crowd of people to see if I could spot who called me. We're throwing a massive party in our house in honor of Harry's single coming out, so there's people everywhere. I've met a few handfuls of celebrities, but dear god... this was overwhelming.

Before I can even comprehend it, Lacey is wrapping her arms around me. I hug her back, smiling widely. "You made it!"

"Of course I did! I would never pass up a trip to London," she laughs. "And oh my god the song is out of this world. Where is he? I wanna congratulate him."

I glance around. "Uh, I'm not sure. Last I saw him, he was talking to his parents in the kitchen."

"Before I leave your side, how many famous people should I prepare myself for?"

"A shit ton," I sigh. "I'm honestly so overwhelmed. I think Adele is here for crying out loud."

"Okay, well now I feel like I could have dressed better," she pouts.

I laugh and shake my head. "You look awesome. Don't sweat it."

"Wanna come find your boy with me?"

"Sure," I shrug. I grab onto her arm and we head into the kitchen, looking around for Harry. Thankfully he's still in there, and his eyes find me as soon as I'm in the room. He smiles and waves Lacey and I over to him.

"Babe, have you met Ben?"

"Briefly when I did James' show, yes," I nod, smiling over at Ben. "Nice to see you again."

I introduce him to Lacey as Harry absentmindedly tugs me into him. Just hugging him made me want to curl up and go to sleep. I think he can tell, because he tightens his arms around me and kisses the top of my head. Harry and Ben chat a little longer before Ben excuses himself to go find some other friends. Lacey steps closer and smiles at us.

"First of all, you guys have been together for almost two years and I still can't get over how cute you are," she pouts. "Second of all, holy shit Harold, that song is out of this world."

"Thank you, Lacey," he smiles. "I really appreciate that."

"Of course. Now that I've said what I need, I really have to pee... where's your guys' bathroom?"

"You can go into our room and use ours. Upstairs, last door on the left," I laugh lightly at her. She disappears pretty quickly, leaving Harry and I in the corner of the kitchen alone.

"I'm sorry you're so tired, baby," he mumbles quietly. "I guess I should have told you to fly in sooner so you weren't so jet lagged."

"It's okay. I'd be willing to stay up for days just to celebrate you and your success," I smile, slipping my arms under his jacket and turning so I'm in front of him and not off to the side. He lowers his head to kiss me, which is interrupted quite quickly by somebody yelling for him from the other room.

He pulls away and sighs, mumbling an apology. I shake my head to dismiss it and reach for his hand. All these people were here for him, so I felt more comfortable being silent and by his side. I follow after him as he goes into the living room, watching with adoration as he goes around to talk with a group of people. He does all of this stuff so naturally and his energy was magnetic. It was one of the many things I loved about him.

I should really just write a whole book of all the things that I love about him.

Except I don't know if one book is enough to tell the story.

@MrsAvaMae: From the single release party that was technically last night (I have not slept, so what is time, really?). I am so incredibly proud of this guy and everything he's done. I have never been more in awe of a song in my entire life. He deserves all the love in the world and I'm so glad that he's finally getting it. I love you forever and ever Harry Edward. I wish we celebrated you like this every day ✨

comment from Harry: I love you.
