“I’ll let you guys chat, you’ve got about five minutes.” Ellen said, smiling.
“What’s your favorite song?” Harry asked me, ripping my attention away from Ellen.
“Oh. Um, Torn. For sure.” I said, smiling.
“Really? Directioner since Torn, huh?”
“Well, no. Actually. I found out about you guys through Natalie, around eight months ago, I just went a little nuts when I found out who you were.” I explained, blushing slightly. I remembered the nights I’d stay up for hours to rewatch all of the boys’ video diaries and performances.
“That’s dedication for you. Sort of why you’re here, right?” Harry said, smiling.
“Exactly why we’re here.” I laughed.
“How did this Get The Horan Hug thing start? I’m hurt it isn’t Get The Harry Hug.” He said, obviously joking. I smiled.
“It actually started as a joke. I was texting Natalie and I told her my new life goal was to get her a follow from Niall, and it just kind of escalated from there. And, in my defense, I’ve always preferred you.” I said, smiling. Harry laughed, which had me laughing too.
“I’m glad I’ve already won some brownie points.” He said, smiling.
“Yeah, major brownie points.” I winked goofily, which had us both in a fit of laughter pretty quickly.
“Okay, let’s get on stage.” Liam said. I tore my eyes away from Harry to see Natalie talking quickly to Niall. Niall was nodding eagerly along, his hand on top of hers. Can I take a minute to say, AW! Niall reluctantly stood, followed soon by Harry.
“Don’t leave?” Harry questioned.
“I don’t know that I could just get up and walk out.” I said, smiling. He laughed and waved me off, walking towards the stage just as the thirty second warning went off.
“And now, One Direction!” Ellen yelled, turning towards the stage as the intro to What Makes You Beautiful started to play.
You’re insecure, don’t know what for. You’re turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or.
I smiled, watching them perform. When they started to sing the “na’s” I was surprised to feel myself being pulled onto the stage by Harry. I looked over to see Niall doing the same thing to Natalie. I blushed as Harry got to his solo, pulling me flush with his body. He looked into my eyes as he sang.
Baby you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me… But when you smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell…
He continued, pulling me into the middle of the stage with the rest of the band. Natalie and I danced around like idiots with the boys, and we jumped up on the stairs behind them, making goofy faces when they moved into their end formation. I saw all the cameras flashing and made a mental note to tweet for a picture of this later.
Harry came and grabbed my hand as the camera went back on Ellen, who was ending the show. “How was that?” He asked enthusiastically.
“It was perfect, as always.” I said, laughing. He was panting, still on a high from performing.
“Do you have a personal twitter?” He asked as we walked towards backstage. I looked around quickly for Natalie, before deciding I’d find her later.
“Yeah, actually. It’s @1DerfulMeee. Like, the number 1, a capital ‘D,’ ‘erful’ Then a capital M for the me, with three E’s.” I said, laughing at his confused expression.
“I’m sorry, what?” He asked, pulling out his phone. “Here, just, follow it now.” He said, still obviously going through what I’d said in his head.
“Alright, that seems easier.” I said, grabbing his iPhone out of his hand. His was the newest, and completely updated, leaving me very confused. “Um? I have no clue how to work this.” I said, looking down at the phone, confused.
“Hang on.” Harry said, laughing at my facial expression. He pressed a few buttons, and handed the phone back to me with a search box already opened. I typed in my username and handed it back to him. He looked down at the phone for a couple seconds. “Oh! That makes sense now.” He said, pressing the follow button before putting his phone back in his pocket. I laughed.
“I didn’t think I was that confusing.” I said, coming to a stop in front of my door.
“You’re incredibly confusing. Is this your room?” He asked, looking at the number. I had never looked at it before, it was room 227.
“Yeah, this is where Natalie and I stayed while we waited. I actually have no clue where she went.” I said, looking around his shoulder. “And where did the rest of the boys go?” I asked, noticing for the first time we were alone.
“I have no clue. Probably off with Natalie, she was the main deal, right?” Harry asked, still looking at me.
“Yeah, I couldn’t deal with that much attention. Of course, I sort of ended up getting it anyways. Figures.” I said, laughing.
“I’d have never guessed you were the shy type.” Harry said, moving slightly closer and leaning down a little. Shit, what was happening.
“Well, you know…” I trailed off, starting to freak out a little, feeling my back hit the wall.
“Harry! There you are! We’ve got to get to that radio show!” Liam yelled. Harry shot straight up, obviously just as shocked as I was.
“I’ll catch up with you later.” Harry mumbled, smiling as he kissed me on the cheek. “Thanks so much for being a great fan! We love you guys!” He said, pulling his act together a bit. I let out a shaky breath as he turned around and walked away. I felt my hand go up slightly as he walked away, and I hit the back of my head on the wall. I had almost kissed Harry fucking Styles, at least, I think? I took another deep breath before looking around for Natalie.
Author's Note:
I had two different ways I had thought about taking this story from here, and I think I've found a way to put them both together. I'm really glad, because I really liked them both, and one of them that wasn't as cute would have played a HUGE role later in the story, so I was glad I could do both. It doesn't happen in this chapter, but a few little things in here help it happen later. The last part was not planned, AT ALL. But I kind of like it, shows a little bit further into both characters. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

I actually haven't done much with the Instagram for the operation, but I will soon. Instagram just doesn't like my internet connection, so I might put Natalie in charge of that.
