*********** OLIVIA POV ************

I asked Paul if he would let me stand in the crowd instead of the side of the stage because i wanted to see the boys better. After pouting my lip a little he finally said i could as long as i took security with me. he wouldnt come with me because apparently he is far to recognizable to certain hard core fans and he would cause more harm than good. So i stood in the front dead center with three body guards. This felt a little excessive I mean i wasnt famous, who would care about me? I was soon proved otherwise. Girls of every age began whispering very loudly and soon hands were reached out trying to grasp me. I heard girls shouting various things

" Tell Harry i say hello!"

"give Harry a hug for me!"

" Your gorgeous Olivia!"

" do us all a favor an breakup with Harry!"

I was a little shocked by the rude ones but most girls were kind and extremely eager. They loved these boys so much, aside from the mean somewhat crazy ones i could tell that they really cared about anyone with any remote relation to one direction. I tried to call out my thank yous but the scurity guards wouldnt let me get close ot them. They forgot about me instantly however when the lights when out. The Xfactor stage was completely black except for five spot lights that fell on the middle of the stage. Suddenly five boys sprang up from the bottom of the stage. The crowd erupted into blood curdeling screams. I grinned at the image of the five boys and looked at them all individually. Liam was giving the crowd a sweet smile Louis was on his left and he was making eyes at Niall, he must have made some sort of joke because Niall looked like he was about to explode with laughter. Zayn was offering the group a small, very attractive smile; he found me instantly amongst the crowd and winked. I had no time to react because my eyes fell on Harry. He was smiling but it didnt reach his eyes. He looked like he had been punched in the stomach, what could have happened in such a short amount of time? I had just left him.

The music began and Liam started

" Hey girl lets get together lets get together come on and let me sneak you out..."

I didnt hear anything else. I was completely zoned out on Harry. He was dancing and singing along but his heart wasnt in it like it had been at sound check. It was like his mind was in another world and his body was here just going through the motions. The boys packed together for the first chorus:

" LETS GO CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY TIL WE SEE THE SUN I KNOW WE ONLY MET BUT LETS PRETEND ITS LOVE AND NEVER NEVER NEVER STOP FOR ANYONE TONIGHT LETS GET SOME.."

Harry stepped in front of the group.  He was putting up a good show for the crowd but to me he looked like a lost puppy. I locked my eyes on his hoping he would see me. Finally his gaze fell on mine. I saw undeniable hurt and confusion eminating from his stare. I only had a second to mouth the words 

" remember"

I hoped he would understand that I wanted him to remember our promise. I wasnt sure what happened but I wanted him to know that I would be with him through whatever was going on. I think he understood because he nodded softly before singing

" and live while were young." The lyrics flowed out more confidently than before and he looked like he was finally trying to focus on his performance. The rest of the song went very well.

Zayn finished the song with his solo. He sounded amazing and it was obvious the boys were very proud of themselves. They wrapped eachother in a group hug at the end of the song and waved to the screaming crowd before runnign off stage.

The security guards took me by my arms and led me throught the crowd. After at least 10 minutes of pushing and shoving through the fans i was finally backstage. All I could think about was what was wrong with Harry. I saw the boys and Harry but I knew better than to just rush to him and ask what was wrong. I headed towards the boys smiling and they all ran toward me enveloping me in a big somewhat sweaty hug.

" LIVI! HOW DID WE DO?!" yelled Louis

" You better say unbelievably perfectly amazing or we arent friends anymore!" shouted Niall from somewhere in this massive hug

" you guys were unbelievably perfectly amazing!!!! honestly. I think I may be your biggest fan now" I said 

They let go of me allowing me to breath.

" Thank you" zayn said grinning at me

I smiled at him and looked at Harry discretely to see how he was without drawing attention to him. He was looking at his hands his mind entirely absent from the conversation.

"Boys!" we heard someone shouting from behind us

" OLLY!" Liam shouted running over to him.

The rest of the boys hurried over to the man greeting him warmly. Harry stood where he was not even registering what was going on around him.

I walked over to Harry, took his hand and walked us back to the dressing room without saying a word. He followed me aimlessly. When we were inside i shut the door behind us and turned to face him.

" Harry? whats wrong?" I said trying to hide the worry that was making its way up my throat

" Caroline came to see me before the performance" Harry said in an almost whisper

dread overtook me. Why couldnt she just leave him alone?

" What did she say?" i said cautiously taking his hand in mine

" she asked me how i have been, how the band was going. And then..." he said slowly

" and then what?" i said trying to get him to look at me. He never took his eyes off the ground.

" she apologized." Harry said blankly

" she did? isnt that a good thing?" I said confused

"  I dont know. after she apologized she...."

" Harry what did she do?" i said now getting frustrated with his secrecy

" she kissed me." Harry said looking into my eyes for the first time
