100 Days with Taylor

Day 12

Taylor's point of view:

I felt Harry's steady breathing on my neck. He was asleep, as well were the rest of the boys. I heard moving coming from the other room, so I slipped away from underneath of Harry and I quietly knocked on the door,"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Liam."

I opened the door,"Why're you awake so early? you're a teenage boy?"

He laughed,"I like being up early. Plus, I have to get the boys stuff together."

Something about Liam made me feel safe. We had just started talking more last night during the movie. He made me laugh multiple times, but he still kept a serious conversation going. I finished up the small conversation Liam and I were having, then I went to take a shower.

I took off my clothes and I looked in the mirror. My body was pale and fragile. I looked skinnier than I did just the day before. The rim of my ribs was showing through my pale white skin. My eyes were dull, when they were once a golden brown. Tears were stinging my eyes but I blinked them away. I stepped into the shower and scrubbed my body.

Death was always the way out whenever I was upset. I attempted to retrieve it multiple times, but it never went through. Looking back I am thankful it never did, I had the chance to meet a boy who's changed my life in a mere twelve days. The water  ran off my finger tips.

Stepping out of the shower I wrapped myself in a towel and I quickly got dressed. I joined the other boys in the living room. Their eyes were fixed on some cartoon that played on the screen.

"Ready to go shopping!?" Louis said jumping, I laughed and nodded.

*****

"Try these on!" Louis said shoving at least ten dresses into my small arms.

 I laughed and went into the dressing room. The first eight dresses weren't me, Louis agreed on that. We've been through at least twenty stores and I've tried on at least ten dresses each, I'm worn out and I'm ready to go home. My head was pounding but I ignored it.

I tried on the ninth dress and my eyes gained back their color as I admire myself in the mirror.

It was an elegant pale pink-ish peach color, with silver swirling through the top. I stepped out of the dressing room. Louis was typing away on his phone, I gave him a small fake cough and his eyes hot up and his jaw dropped,"You look.." he stuttered,"Stunning."

Heat rose to my cheeks as I stared at him for his approval,"So is this the one?"

His head nodded frantically,"Yes! Harry is one lucky lad."

I stuck my tongue out at him and went back into the changing room. We put the other dresses back and then paid for the dress along with some jewelry and shoes. I felt so pampered. I offered to pay for it but Louis refused. My head was still thumping, My vision would occasionally get blurred but I just kept pushing it aside.

"For you M'lady." Louis said opening the door to his car.

I laughed,"Why thank you kind sir." I took my seat in the passenger side. We started driving, the sun was shining and it was still early in the afternoon. Their stylist Lou would be at the house by the time we got back, to pick the Boy's outfits, and she would be doing my hair and make up. We pulled up to Harry's house after about half an hour of driving. The boys were talking to Lou as she looked through the racks of clothes she had brought with her.

She took my bag from me and looked at the dress I was wearing, she smiled and gave me a thumbs up,"Here, you wear this," She said throwing Harry a black blazer with a white dress shirt followed by a light peachy-pink tie and a pair or loose black pants. 

She went through each boy. Zayn was wearing a red tuxedo with black cuffs and collar with a black tie. Niall wore a plain black suit with a teal undershirt and a white tie. Louis was wearing an all white tuxedo with a white undershirt and red suspenders with a red fedora. Liam had on a simple black tuxedo with a simple white undershirt and a red tie, he looked dashing.

I smiled and looked at the boys, it hasn't been long since I've known them, just as long as I've known Harry basically, but I already felt like a big family.

She shooed me off to go get into my dress. I slipped back into the dress. This time I put on the jewelry that I bought to attend with the dress, I walked out of the bathroom to find all five boy's eyes directed on me. Their jaws dropped as they watched me walk down the steps. I smiled at the ground as I walked embarrassed from all the attention.

"You're gorgeous." Liam stated first,"You, You look perfect," Harry said with a cheeky grin.

"You look amazing!" Niall yelped, followed by a nod of approval from Louis. Zayn winked at me,"You look great."

Lou turned to me and smiled,"Harry made an amazing choice."

She sat me down and began doing my make up and curling my brown dull hair. When she down with me I truly felt beautiful. I looked like a celebrity. I felt gentle arms wrap around my waist, the familiar scent of Harry filled my nose,"Ready to go?" he whispered in my ear.

Chills ran up and down my spine, but I nodded, he grasped my hand and walked me towards the Limousine that was parked out front of the house.

It was about an hour until we finally reached the award show. There were tons of celebrities, they made me feel insecure as I watched them, absolutely beautiful. Then there was me, A girl who's bound to die soon, who's Dad beats her, who's Mom left her as a kid for a new family, who's been bullied in school. I was an outcast here.

"Just smile and wave," Harry said.

I nodded and we stepped out of the car. There was flashes and screaming paparazzi, they attempted to ask me questions, but Harry kept me in his grip and kept walking. We finally got into the building, Harry told me he'd be right back he wanted to talk to a few friends. I sat in the corner just staring at my feet,"Why are you over here all alone, love?"

I looked to see Liam standing next to me smiling,"I don't know anyone, hello? I'm a nobody."

He chuckled,"You're not a nobody. I have yet to discover you, Taylor. But I feel like theirs more to your story than you let show."

I raised an eyebrow,"Why do you think that?"

"You're a very secretive girl," He said winking then walking away.

After a few moments Harry came back. He introduced me to a few people from his managment and some celebrities. I talked to them for a little bit before we were told to take our seats. We were on the front rows. 

****

The boys won two awards and they were completely estatic. I on the other hand kept feeling nacious and my vision was constantly getting blurred. We were still sitting there watching the awards getting handed out. The boys were nominated for one more award. 

"And the winner is," Emma Watson read,"ONE DIRECTION!" The boys jumped up and cheered and hugge eachother.

Harry grabbed my hand and dragged me on stage with them. I was not up for this, my head was spinning as I stood on stage. Suddenly everything went black and I felt my body hit the floor.
