The diagnosis

Chapter 27

After the boys go into the living room, I gather my stuff for a quick shower. It was nearly 2 in the afternoon! That means I slept for 16 hours! I picked one of my favourite pairs of shorts and a tank top. The boys had another show tonight and I didn't want to miss it.

As I turned to head to the side of the bus, a pair of arms slid around my waste from an odd angle. I turn around to see Harry twisted in his bunk awkwardly so his head was hanging upside down slightly while he held me.

I cocked my head at him and gave him a funny look. "Having fun?" He smiled. I couldn't help but smile back when I saw the dimple form on his face. "Only if I get to come with you." He said cheekily. I raised an eyebrow and walked away with a smirk. No, it was definitely too soon for that.

The hour left until arriving past quickly. We ate. They sang. (Which I absolutely tried my hardest not to fan girl over... It didn't work too well) then arrived at the stadium. I looked out the window behind where I sat and saw a bunch of screaming girls. Great.

I glanced at Harry who was smiling at something Niall just said. Liam, Zayn, and Louis all jumped up, excited to stretch their legs properly, and ran out to wave at the fans. Niall and Harry slowly got up, still in deep conversation. "You going to come?" Harry asks. I'm suddenly frozen with anxiety.

Harry notices and motions for Niall to go on without us. Before leaving the bus, Niall cast a long worried glance my way. "Are you ok, love?" I choked down a swallow and nodded. "I really want to come to the concert tonight, but I'm scared." I motion to the large group of girls with some who were a lot prettier than me. I shook my head. No. I'm happy being myself.

"Come on. I know what to do." Harry says with a smile. I curiously let him gently pull me to my feet. Suddenly I'm thrown over his shoulder, an I can't help it but I'm laughing. Harry barrels out of the bus and the screams get louder. Suddenly they stop being too loud though as they watch Harry adorably strut with me hanging helplessly over his shoulder.

Harry was right though, I felt a lot better about walking by the fans when I was being held hostage. He waved towards the crowd and they screamed. My front half was dangling behind Harry so I couldn't be seen by the fans. Being at the angle I was at, a sudden bravery came over me and I pinched his butt.

He jumped slightly, not expecting it. I giggled. He froze and then started spinning. I screamed in delight as I clung to him. The world blurring into spirals. I completely forgot we had an audience. Eventually I felt extremely dizy. He shifted me and I felt my feet touch the ground. I began stumbling like a drunk person and ran sideways instead of going forward towards Harry like I had hoped.

I giggled like a maniac. My hands finally found Harry in my dizzy state, and instead of clinging to him I fell to the ground and clutched to it while I waited for everything to stop moving. My laughter continued to ring through the silence and it was joined by Harry's beautiful one. I felt him put his arms around me and pull me to my feet. My hands lay on his chest while he steadies me.

"You have really bad balance." He jokes. I nod with a big grin. "Come on let's go inside." I say as I become aware that everyone just witnessed what had happened. Harry links his fingers with mine, waves one last time to the crowd with his free hand, and leads me inside.

An angry looking man immediately finds us. "Mr. Styles you are needed for sound check." He turns his head and glares at me. I somehow find the confidence to glare back. A couple of weeks ago I would have had an anxiety attack and cowered away from the angry man. "Hey mate, back off." Harry barks.

The man huffs and walks away. "I wonder who shit in his cornflakes." I mumbled without thinking. I noticed Harry staring at me in shock from the corn of my eye. I look over at him in time to see him break out laughing. I giggled in response. Harry begins to pull me in the direction of the stage. "I'll bring you to a spot that barricaded because we have fans that got passes to see the sound check here. I nodded as I looked at everything in wonder.
