Chapter 13

Ooo second update of the day :) The updates will become more and more frequent soon so it should hopefully be finished by the end of the year! Hope you enjoy x

Lola's POV

I couldn't be unhappy with Harry for long, he was too adorable to be annoyed with. I blushed as he walked past me and whispered in my ear. My tummy flipped as he told me I was beautiful, everything he said had me falling for him harder.

"You've got a keeper there, hon! The whole of the female population would kill for your position!" The tailor girl told me, a smirk pasted on her face. I laughed at her confession and thanked her before walking away and stretching with Dani.

"Have you taken your meds?" She asked me, concerned.

"Of course I have, I took them twice to make sure I'd be ok." She nodded, but still looked doubtful. We stood in our places on the rising platform, ready for the opening act. The whole crowd was buzzing and I could hear them chanting, ready for all the performances. Matty stood by me, his hand in mine, he nodded to me as the stage rose and the spotlight was on us.

Goosebumps rose on my skin as I realised I was back where I needed to be. The music blared out of the speakers beside us and the crowd went wild, Jason Derulo came onto the stage and we started our dances, one after another, relentless sweat poured from us and we didn't stop until we had to change our outfits.

I ran off to change into my outfit for Iggy's performance but I could feel my head becoming lighter due to the lack of rest and water. I sat down for a few seconds before pulling myself up and into my new outfit, the other dancers rushed around me and all I could see was the white lights surrounding me. I was pulled up by some of the dancers and dragged on stage, my feet shuffled up the stairs and my head felt like it was going to explode but I carried on. This was my job and I was going to finish it, I couldn't let my illness get in they way, I thought.

I lasted throughout her songs and stayed backstage, ready for Blurred Lines to start. Dani stood beside me and gave me a nod of confidence, I forced a smile and nodded back. I held the back of the stage to keep my balance but as the lights rose up to my face I was engulfed by the blare and the next thing I knew, my head had hit the ground and the music had stopped.

Harry's POV

"I bet you £20, you fall over on stage, Haz." Louis laughed at me.

"Well thanks for the vote of confidence, mate!" I punched his shoulder.

We'd just finished our harmony check and were walking to our stage entrance, I could see Lola dancing on stage with Matty and some other boy, her body moving perfectly in time with the beat. She had short shorts on and a tight white top that cut off around her boobs, she looked so amazing as she pressed against Matty and shook her hair out. Everything about her screamed sexy and I couldn't take it anymore when she gyrated next to Dani.

"You've got it HARD, haven't ya?!" Niall laughed next to me, and I squirmed at the thought of him reading my mind and dirty thoughts.

"Shut up Niall." I muttered, hoping no one else heard what he'd said or seen me struggle. He just winked at me and grabbed his mic, we waited a few more moments until the dancers ran off and Blurred Lines started. I watched intently, waiting for Lo to come on stage but as the background rose I saw a shocked Dani, down on her knees, another girl crying and my angel laid on the floor.

I pushed past everyone to get on stage but I was stopped by security. Everything just stopped around me and all I could see was her limp body laid on the floor, I knew this would've been too much for her body to handle but she insisted she was ok.
