When Harry and Gemma arrive at the premiere, it's exactly like Harry had pictured it to be; red carpets, cameras flashing, celebrities meandering around - the usual.

Harry swears he doesn't freak out when Josh Boone walks right past him—because he's the best damn director there is, and was involved in films like Stuck In Love and The Fault In Our Stars (both of which are in Harry's top ten).

Before they had left the house, Harry was making sure his hair was nice and his simple outfit that consisted of dark jeans, a black button up, and some brown boots, didn't have any wrinkles. Harry was super nervous, and he didn't even know why. Okay, yeah, maybe he was nervous because he didn't want Louis to see him and think he looked poor or ugly or whatever. And maybe he was nervous because his sister was going to be there and she would surely embarrass him if she had the chance. Point is, his nerves are through the roof.

When they get into the theater (after being told no, they could not walk on the red carpet, and buying a large popcorn and Coke from the concessions) they aren't surprised to see that the theater is jam packed. Fortunately they find some empty seats near the front, close enough to the screen where soon enough the actors and actresses would be standing, specifically Louis freaking Tomlinson.

"Is this really happening? Are we really about to see Louis William Tomlinson in person? Or am I dreaming? Gemma, I think I'm going to throw up." Harry speaks mile a minute, his knee bouncing up and down in his seat and his eyes frantically looking around the dim room.

"I'm leaving you here if you vomit," Gemma replies.

"I'm serious. I honestly, seriously, might just throw up from excitement. Or faint. Maybe both, who knows?"

"Okay. Calm down."

Harry doesn't say anything after that. He's still jittery but breathing in through the nose, out through the mouth, which seems to help him relax.

But then a line of people are standing in the front of the room, all smiling and waving at the crowd before them. Everyone is cheering, too, which caused the atmosphere to be chaotic and loud. People are standing and jumping and it's just a giant mess. Harry thinks he sees a girl accidentally punch someone in the gut.

Harry's just staring at Louis with awe when Louis looks back at him—or so Harry thought—and winks. Louis Tomlinson winked at him. Yeah, Harry is definitely going to faint.

"Gemma, did you see that? He winked at me. He fucking winked!" Harry says, hitting his sister's arm a few times for emphasis.

"Ouch," She says, glaring at him and rubbing her arm. "Yes, I saw it. No, I don't care."

Harry just frowns.

Eventually the room quiets down and everyone sits back down in their seats. Louis talks first, and Harry can't believe he's hearing his hypnotising voice in person for the first time.

"Hello everyone! Thank you for coming out tonight. I'm going to keep this short, since I'm sure you all are very excited to see Breaking Down for the very first time," he pauses, giving the crowd time to cheer for a second, then continues, "I think you'll like it, I know we do." He gestures to all the actors and actresses standing next to him.

"Anyways, after the movie we will be holding a Q&A for anyone who wants to come and ask us whatever you want. Enjoy!" And with that, the cast lets out a chorus of 'goodbye' and exits the theater.

Harry just lets out a quiet "Holy shit" and the movie begins to play.

Harry walks down the long corridor and makes his way to the restrooms. The movie ended, and it was incredible, just like Louis' acting. He needed to use the bathroom before the Q&A started.

He pushed open the door to the bathroom and turned the corner to get to the stalls, but he was forced to stop when his body collided with another.

"Oops!" Harry says as he stumbles back slightly.

A pair of bright blue eyes is looking at him with concern, and when Harry finally collects himself, which wasn't easy because Louis freaking Tomlinson ia standing right in front of him, he can't breathe.

Finally, Louis speaks up. "Hi."
