It was April 10th. My bestfriends Harry, Gemma, and I were having a sleepover, but it wasn't a normal sleepover. We actually went to bed early. We had to wake up early in the morning. Around 3ish. I woke up to Anne shaking my shoulders telling me it was time to go. Anne had been friends with my mother since they were in 6th grade. That's how me, harry, and gemma met. Gemma was harrys older sister. But both were older than me. They felt like older siblings.
"alright Anne, I'm awakee." I groaned. I hated waking up early.
"Come on, Harry's going to be late." I can't believe I almost forgot. Today was Harry's big audition for the x-factor. Harry was always singing. He would sing in the shower, he would sing before bed, he would sing walking to the park. But he was good. His voice was so good, he could sing his math homework and people would still stop to listen.
I jumped up, got my jeans and grabbed one of Harry's Jack Wills swearshirts. I loved the smell of his cologne. And his sweatshirts were so warm. I ran outside, and jumped in the back seat next to Harry. His mom had a van, so there was still a back row. We stopped and got bagels at the bakery Harry worked at and got some coffee, than we went and picked up Harry's band member/ best friend, Will. I ended up switching to the last row, while Harry and Will were in the center and Gemma and Anne in the front.
When we got to the venue, there was a line that went on for about 5 blocks. Harry and Gemma were always sneaky though, so we someone managed to get our way to the front. Harry got his number and we sat in the waiting room. Harry was really nervous, i could tell by the way he shook his knee. I asked him if I could speak with him in private, and we stood up and walked to the opposite side of the room.
"I know that your nervous but trust me. They have to say yes to you. Your amazing Harry." I was looking into his big, bright shinging eyes.
"You know Tyra. I can alwayscount on you to count on me. When i was 10, remember when i fell off the bike. You ran inside and got me the band-aid, then a couple years later, when white eskimo wasn't working you were right there to help fix it, and now, here we are, and your still by my side. Thank you. and I won't be nervous knowing that I have chichi watching over me."
I looked at down at the ground. I could feel tears forming in my eyes. Chichi was my grandma. She died 2 years ago of cancer. Me and Harry used to sing to her all the time before she died. I haven't sang since then.
"Tyra. Look at me. Shes watching over you. She's still here." He was crying too, I stood on my tippy toes and wrapped my arms around his neck. He was crying to now. So we just stood there and cried together.
I always had feelings for Harry, but I was always scared to tell him because I always mess up relationships. But he was so sweet, and cute, and charming, and cheeky. And he was always by my side. I loved this kid.
Suddenlu, Harry's number was called. He hugged his mom and gemma, shook will's hand, and i gave him a kiss on the cheek. He never told me what song he was going to sing. He told me it had to be a surprise or there was no point in me going. And i knew better than to argue with him. He walked on stage and he did his big cheeky smile. I loved when he smiled. He could always brighten a room with that smile.
Finally, he had to start singing.
