A/n: Credits to the actual owner of this song Sabrina carpenter and Jonas blue. Now let's get on with the book!!

Spring's P.O.V

The end of the year was approaching meaning the last concert of the year was soon and I was auditioning after convincing my chorus teacher that he wouldn't regret letting me do this solo. I had my song prepared and I auditioned, after stalling Harry so he couldn't watch during the act since I wanted my choice of song to be kept a secret until the day of the concert, from him anyway. The song was just too perfect for the thoughts in my head and I couldn't have those being revealed, I didn't care if anybody knew I liked him, but he couldn't find out, it would make everything just go to pieces. Our relationship, our friendship. I wanted to be distant, I wanted to ignore him, out of the fear of being forgotten later on without an explanation. I was signing up for it, the failure, he was gonna go off to college for football while I would be here, forgotten. This song, this performance was gonna settle it. He'll be left to figure that out for himself, hopefully this will to be enough to tell him, my confusion. I couldn't be left in the dark any longer. I don't do this, last time I kinda liked a kid, I told him and he ran away, but in my defense I was five.

The performance was two days away and I was currently sat in the chorus room practicing my song, making sure I had every word down, everything.

This had to be perfect.

Mm
This feeling's so alien
Need to know if you're just a friend
Are you a secret I'm holding in
So leave it on my brain if you feel the same
Light, but I notice it
Don't know the rules but I got to win
The paranoia is sinking in
So leave it on my brain if you feel the same
Ooh, let me discover all of your colors
If you love me let me know
No, no, let me discover all of your colors
If you love me let me know
Don't let me leave when I'm standing at your door
Don't make me stop when you're really wanting more
If you show me what you're thinking of
Let me get inside your mind
If you show me love it'll be enough
It'll be a better night
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
It'll be a better night
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
It'll be a better night
I alienated them
Right about when our love begin
Emotions are moving in
Gettin' in my space, living in my place
When did these games begin?
I'm overthinking my thoughts again
No we don't break, but we're bound to bend
Gettin' in my space, living in my place
Ooh, let me discover all of your colors
If you love me let me know
No, no, let me discover all of your colors
If you love me let me know
Don't let me leave when I'm standing at your door (Baby no, don't let me)
Don't make me stop when you're really wanting more ('Cause I know you're wanting more)
If you show me what you're thinking of
Let me get inside your mind
If you show me love it'll be enough
It'll be a better night
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
It'll be a better night (Be a better night)
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
It'll be a better night (No, no, no)
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
It'll be a better night
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
It'll be a better night
A better night, yeah

I took a deep breath as I finished the song for the last time, before telling my teacher I'd be leaving. Stepping outside of the school I spotted Vivian, Niall and Harry in a little corner talking casually while Niall threw his head back in laughter. Harry's eyes landed on me as he wished them a good night, walking towards me, he smiled widely as I did the same back.

"How'd rehearsal go?" He asked as he wrapped his arm around me as we walked to his car.

"It was great." I responded, smiling up at him as he looked down at me, green eyes sparkling, and that darned dimple appearing in his cheek was tragically beautiful.

The sky hung above us like a disco ball as it portrayed a purple-pinkish color as the sun set slowly.

My heart pounded in my chest as he put the key in the ignition, he looked as beautiful as ever and I was scared that he'd hear my heart and it'll all be revealed.

"Harry?", I started.

He looked at me, full attention on me. His brows furrowed.

"Would you-have you ever hid your feelings in order to keep someone? Cause you know that if you tell them your feelings it'll all be ruined and they won't talk to you anymore."

"No. But if they love and cherish you enough they'll look past that, I promise."

"Would you?"

"It depends."

I nodded and the conversation was over. The car was silent as we drove home, towards our destination.
