Downhill

Chapter 50

First of all, I'm sorry I haven't posted in what feels like years but I had loads of homework, a week and a half of exams then I went skiing. But now I'm all back to normal and I should be posting a lot more! Also I have certain events planned for Becky and Harry but other than the big ideas, I'm not really sure of what to make them do aha. If you have any ideas of cute little moments or things for them please leave them in the comments or tweet me @tooinlovewith1D, I'll follow back there as well aha. I'd be grateful for any opinions or thoughts too. Thank you :) xx

“Five minutes to showtime,” Tara pops her head around the contestant’s green room and Harry squeezes my hand.

 I think he’s a bit calmer now, at least he doesn’t have to perform tonight. They’ve dropped the group number because they’ve got Alexandra Burke, the Black Eyes Peas and the cast of one of my favourite shows, Glee, here to perform tonight. I’m hoping I might be able to meet some of them tonight. Harry told me they have to have pictures with all of them for press and he said he’ll take me with him. 

“You ready?” I ask Harry.

“Yeah, I guess,” he half smiles.

“Oh my gosh Glee time!” I say excitedly when I see Sue Sylvester on the screen.

“I’ve never watched Glee,” Zayn says.

“I love it so much!” I tell him, I fan girl over the performance, get a little too excited when Puck walks on stage. I earn a few glares from Cher but I really don’t care. That rhymed. 

“He’s not even a real person and you get more excited for him than you do for me,” Harry laughs.

“No, aw you know I’m always excited for you,” I tell him, he raises an eyebrow at me as if something I said was a rude innuendo, I just shrug it off and enjoy the performance.

“We’ll go and find them all after,” Harry says into my ear before kissing the side of my face.

“I’m so excited.” I smile, he smiles back as if he’s admiring my weirdness. 

I watch the whole show from the contestants’ green room with Harry, they have snacks and we share three bags of Doritos between the six of us. Harry hasn’t eat much, its probably because he’s nervous. 

Tara opens the door to the green room and just nods at everybody, I feel Harry’s hands tighten on my waist as I sit on his lap on the sofa. 

“I don’t want to go,” Harry stuffs his face into my neck and shakes his head.

“It’ll be fine, I swear if you don’t get through I’ll eat my hat,” I smile.

“Would you actually?” Harry laughs.

“Yeah, if it weren’t a figure of speech I would,” I giggle.

Harry asks me to stand by the door at the side of the studio so he can see me straight away after they’re told the result. 

I don’t want to think about what happens if they don’t get through. I mean, what do they do next? They can’t just stop being a band, that would be stupid considering the fanbase they’ve already built. But then they’re all from different parts of the country and Niall lives all the way over in Ireland it would be so hard to keep it up unless they all moved to one place, which would probably have to be London. 

I calm myself down by telling myself that they’ll get through as I walk with Harry, he’s squeezing my hand tight. Simon walks over to the boys and Harry gives me a quick kiss before he’s dragged off into a group huddle. 

I check my phone as I walk round to the door at the side, mom should have texted me my train time by now. She said she’d book me one for tonight if college is open tomorrow. I’m kind of hoping that it’s not so I can spend the night with Harry. We break up on Friday anyway so would it be that bad if I missed the last week of college to stay here? I can’t do that, what if I miss something important and I need to keep my attendance up if I want to go to a good university.
