¤¤¤PROLOGUE¤¤¤

Harry auditioned for X Factor! im so happy for him he is such a talented singer. I remember back in kindergarden when we first became friends... I had told him off for singing...

 i looked up from where i was conserntraiting very hard on colouring inside the lines of my favourite colouring book. I glared at the boy singing at the top of his lungs. I was trying to colour. Who does he think he is!! i got up from my seat at the colouring table and strode over to him, tapping him on the shoulder.

"Excuse me, who do you think you are? Im trying to colour!" i was very opinionated for a 4 year old and was not about to take crap from anyone. Especially not a boy. He turned to face me his brown curls bouncing as he did so. His bright green eyes met mine and a grin slowly crept onto his face.

"Well im Harry. Who are you?" he said so cheerfully that i almost smiled myself.

"Im Alisa and your singing is annoying! im trying to colour!" I said harshly glaring at him slightly. His facial expression faded from the grin to hurt in an instant. He looked down and said a quiet "sorry". He then turned and walked away. I felt terrible, i walked up to him where he sat on a bean bag in the reading corner, just staring at the ground.

"Harry?" I asked quietly, hoping he wouldnt hate me. He didnt answer me, he just looked up from the floor and just looked into my eyes.

"Im sorry Harry. I didnt mean to yell at you. I just wanted to colour and you were bugging me with your really good singing. Did you want to come colour with me?" I admitted sad myself now. Harrys expression then changed to a slight smirk and he stood up.

"Sure, ill come colour with you. But only if i can sing to you while we do." I looked at him with a slight smile and said a faint "ok". We walked over to the colouring table hand in hand and I went back to my spot in fornt of my colouring book.

We sat colouring for hours and all the while Harry was singing to me. Over a short period of time we became best friends, always doing everything together.

As I stand backstage with Harrys sister Beth and his mum, as he auditions I cant help but think about all the posibilities. What if he gets really far in his experiences with X Factor? What if its the complete opposite and he gets turned down? But then I stopped and realised. No. He WILL get through because hes such an amazing singer and has proven that to me everyday of our friendship. Every day no matter what mood either of us were in he would sing me a song. Harry's still singing as his head turns to face me and gives me a wink, then goes back to facing the judges.

Harry was incredibly nervous when we had arrived earlier today and i did my best to calm him.

"Just prentend your singing to me like you have done every day now for so long." I said in the end and that made him calm down considerably.

Harry was an amazing person in every way possible. I couldnt ask for a better best friend. As Harry continues in front of the judges I cant help but think of where i would be without him and his amazing family. We've been so close for just over 13 years and i hoped it would stay like that. But little was i to know that things were about to change drastically.
