We all go into our separate rooms to get ready. I put on some nice clothes I have, consisting of: dark skinny jeans, silver strap heels, and a low cut, brown, flowy shirt with a dark green belt around it. It’s pretty revealing, showing a lot of my chest, but I’m going backstage Jimmy Kimmel. I need to look good for that. The boys have to wear their usual for the show. Harry comes out of the bathroom. He looks me up and down and licks his lips seductively. I wink and flip my hair when I turn around to go back to my bag.

I joke, “Harry aren’t you overwhelmed by my hair flipping?”

He pretends to fan his face, “I definitely am overwhelmed Alina.”

I laugh, “I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to do that.”

He comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, “If they bring us up tonight, I’m going to say we’re together.”

I spin around to look at him, “What?”

He smiles at me, “I decided to when we were out. I don’t want you to receive hate like that anymore, it’s not very appropriate or accurate. People don’t know the truth so if it comes up I’ll tell the truth.”

I’m a little shocked actually. Why would he want to do that? Wouldn't that send more hate in a way?

He answers my thoughts seeing the expression on my face, “Think about it love. You and I are just gonna keep getting caught together. That’s because you’re always with me. People will just keep sending you stuff when they see new pictures. Wouldn’t you rather have them hear from me that we are together and that you are actually an amazing beautiful girl?” I lighten up a little, “Yeah, I guess you’re right.”

He’s trying his best to make this work.

“But make a deal with me Harry?”

“Yeah sure, anything. “

“Don’t bring it up unless you are asked about it. Please?”

“Okay. That’s fine babe.”

In the car ride to the studio I silently pray that I’m not brought up. What would Harry even say about me? I forgot to tell him about the conversation with my parents, but I’ll get to it later. We enter the studio and make our way to the backstage lounge room. On the way, a crewmember asks to take a picture of the boys together, saying it’s for the wall of guest stars they’ve had. The man takes the photo of the boys and walks away in a hurry. We have to actually pass the backstage to get to the room and people are hustling and bustling everywhere. There’s still an hour left till the show begins. We all enter the small lounging room and sit down on a big white couch and wait. A different crewmember comes in and says that Jimmy will be in here shortly to tell us what’s going on tonight. I look around the room in the time. All that’s in here is a couch, a couple of chairs, and a glass coffee table. Paul stays standing and looks through his phone. I’m a little nervous for what’s going to go on through the show, but excited at the same time. I calm myself down. It's totally going to be fine.

Within a few minutes Mr. Kimmel opens the door and greets all of us, “Hi there everyone I’m Jimmy, it’s nice to finally meet you boys.”

“It’s nice to meet you too,” they say getting up and shaking his hand.

“And who’s this lovely lady we have here?”

Thank God.

'I don’t think he knows me,' I think as I get up and shake his hand too.

“I’m Alina, I’m a friend of the boys.”

That wasn’t a lie.

But now I stand corrected, Jimmy did know who I was.
