All You Need Is Love: A Harry Styles/One Direction Fanfiction

Chapter 24

I sucked in a sharp breath, suddenly feeling weird as nerves took over me. I saw the lights dim and heard the screaming start. Wow. We seriously had the best fans on the planet. The music began and the screaming just got louder, escalating as the introduction built up.

"Go!" a security man next to us ordered, and with that we ran. Liam ran first, and the sounds as we came on stage were just...unreal. I smiled brightly, widening my eyes at how many people were stood up cheering for us. We began to sing and the all of a sudden the adrenaline kicked in. I smiled brightly and looked down to the standing area where girls were pushing forcefully to try and inch closer.

"We're like na na na! Then we're like yeah yeah yeah!" I sung, feeling so alive and happy. I looked down at a small bunch of girls standing at the front and smiled, waving at them. They looked as though they were about to pass out. That really worried me. I couldn't believe how amazing this was! I loved it!

"I'm so excited!"

"Does it sound really gay if I say me too?" Sam replied and I burst out laughing.

"No way! You're a twi-hard just like me!" I cheered. He looked confusingly at me.

"Oh come on," I laughed. "Twi-hard? Seriously, Sam?"

"Sorry Carly," he grinned, standing up. "It's getting closer to midnight and I'm pretty thirsty. You want anything?" he asked politely.

"Ooh, popcorn!" I smiled brightly, taking out my purse.

"I don't want your money! I'll be back in a minute," he smiled, turning away.

"Sam, wait-"

"-no Carly," he grinned cheekily. He left the cinema and I sighed, checking my phone. It was getting closer to midnight, and I was getting even more excited. Breaking Dawn was coming on, Woohoo! Don't judge, I am a crazy ass twilight fan. None of my friends agreed with me on it, but apparently Sam really liked it, so I'd dragged him along to the midnight showing. Looking to my left, I saw a girl slightly younger than me gawking after Sam. She saw me looking and shuffled in her seat.

"Sorry. Your boyfriends just so lovely," she whispered. I raised my eyebrows.

"Oh, er, he's not my boyfriend. We're just good friends," I explained. The girl looked really embarrassed.

"Sorry! You just looked like a really cute couple," she blushed. I felt myself blush too.

"Well thanks," I encouraged, not knowing what else to say. I turned back to face the screen and felt myself sink back in my chair. I'd came tonight not just because I wanted to but somehow I knew it would distract my mind. From Harry. He had been gone for almost two weeks, and I think that space had been good. It really gave me the opportunity to think and just prepare myself for reality. I'd spent a lot of time on twitter and still people were talking about his girlfriend. Which he didn't even have. It was just me, one of the millions of fans. Life was so confusing. I sat there, thinking for a few minutes until I heard rustling beside me. I looked up to find him staring down at me, holding drinks and popcorn. God he was so amazing. I wish I did like him. I really did.

"Ready?" he asked, sitting down. I grinned as the lights dimmed.

"Woo!"

"Welcome to RadioCity96.7! We still have one direction!" Roast cheered and we all cheered back.

"So this question's from Lydia, are you all single?" he asked and I looked over at Zayn and Louis. This was their big moment. Liam had contacted Gabby and they'd decided it wasn't the time for them yet and they were going to wait until the tour was over.

"I'm single," Niall said first.

"Me too," Liam quickly rushed then smiled.

"How about you, Zayn?" Rossy asked. I looked up and saw him take a deep breath.

"I'm...not single," he announced for the first time and then suddenly Louis spoke quickly.

"Me neither." Louis said and Rossy widened his eyes.

"Wow, okay, so yo two have girlfriends! What about you Harry?" he asked and I spoke confidently.

"I'm single."

"Are you sure?" he questioned. I narrowed my eyes. He continued.

"Because reporters have been going around stating you have a mystery girl. And who is this on Louis' latest twitter picture he uploaded?" he handed me an iPad and I closed my eyes after seeing the picture of Carly and I covered in pasta. I suddenly became angry, so what if Carly and I were together or not, it was no one else's business.

"She's just a friend," I scowled at him.

"Can I ask her name?" Rossy persisted. I loose over at Lou who widened his eyes at me slightly. What was I I supposed to say now?

"Okay girls, the show is in Spring next year - that's not long! We should have this perfect by now! From the top!" my dance teacher, Ashley, instructed and we all sighed, taking our starting positions. The music started and I walked forward in time to the blasting music, dancing the best I could as the lyrics began.

"Give you this, give you that, blow a kiss, take it back, if I look inside your brain..." Harry's voice trailed off and I slowly closed my eyes as I continued dancing to the strong, stern beat and mood of the song, which matched my feelings exactly. It had been over three weeks and the tour was going amazing apparently. I was going in five days. But even though I hadn't seen Harry for weeks, I just couldn't escape him. At all. He was always everywhere, I couldn't go for a minute without seeing, hearing, or more importantly, thinking about him. He was constantly the only subject on my mind. What did that even mean? I was pretty sure I knew deep down inside me, but no way was I allowing that to surface. It wasn't even true anyway! I was fine!

"I want! I want! I want!" I flipped over and joined the girls in the small huddle at the centre of the stage. I danced in sync with them, feeling my mind swirl. Eugh! Why was he everywhere?! He was singing now - see? I couldn't escape him even if I tried, damn.

"I want! I want! I want! To be loved by you!" I sung and the lights faded.

"Thank you Dublin!" Niall cried. "You were amazing! Ciao!" After a few more waves, we all ran off stage.

"I think they were then loudest yet!" Liam cheered. "That was unreal!"

"I know!" I smiled brightly. "Did that girl grab my crotch?!" They all burst out laughing. Louis' hand patted my back.

"Well you did hip thrust," he pointed out.

"That's just what we do!" I laughed.

"I can't believe it's almost over," Zayn spoke for us all.

"Hey, we still have one more date! In two days we'll be back in London baby!" Louis sung. We headed deeper into the arena, and I left them for a moment to go to my dressing room. I sat down on the couch after throwing everything into my big, heavy bag. Wow. We were now heading back to London. Which only spoke one name to me...Carly.

"You got everything?" Gab asked. I looked inside my backpack and smiled.

"Yup."

"Let's get going then," Kris cried with glee. I opened the door as the taxi pulled up and we each stepped outside. I felt the strong wind swirl around us and we all clutched at our coats tighter.

"Have we got enough layers?" Gab complained as I locked the door. We each held several bags, holding food, blankets and lots of Lucozade. I looked up, noticing the sky filled with dark clouds.

"I hope so," I whispered and pushed them forward. We all climbed into the cab and told the driver where we were heading.

"Camping out for one direction?" he laughed. "I thought that wasn't for another two days!"

"It's not," I laughed. "Wish us luck."

"Good luck!" he laughed. "I think in this weather you girls will need it!"

I totally agreed with him. But I didn't care. We were camping out with all one direction fans, and to me that just meant were going to have an amazayn time.
