Harry's P.O.V
The boys and I ran off stage, hurrying backstage for our last quick-change: formal wear for the last song of the show. Girls always went wild when we ran back onstage wearing ties and dress pants, which is never a bad thing. I quickly unbuttoned my sweaty grey dress shirt and flung the fresh white one over my shoulders, the stylist buttoning it up for me. I exchanged my skinny jeans for black dress pants, and finally switched my shoes. "1 minute!" I heard the stage manager yell, pointing back to the stage. The stylist tightened my bow tie and swatted me lightly on the bum, "Off you go love!" Louis and I looked at each other and started our way back to the stage. The familiar intro to "What Makes You Beautiful" started playing, and I waited for Liam to start the verse. As the song approached my part, I made my way over to the left side of the stage, searching for the girls we were giving back stage passes to. My favourite part of performing had always been flirting with girls during the concert, and I planned on taking full advantage. I began to sing "Everyone one else in the room can see it," and stared at Emma. Or maybe it was Rose, I'm not sure which one was which. All I knew was that I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She stared at me back, her face lit up. "Everyone else but you." I smiled at the brunette, her eyes widening as she turned to her friend. The song ended, and the crowd of screaming girls jumped up and down, some waving their signs in the air, others shouting, "I love you" to different members of the band. Liam thanked the crowd for being so energetic and supportive, and then it came time for us all to wave and say goodbye. I turned to the girls one last time and smiled before hurrying off the stage.
Me and the boys had been signing autographs for around an hour now, and our energy was beginning to drop. We are more than grateful for our fans, we knew how amazing they were, but countless requests for kisses on the cheek and voice recordings of them saying "I love you" began to get tedious after a while. I was in the midst of signing a t-shirt when I felt Louis squeeze my arm. I turned to him. "Look who's come see us." I turned to follow Louis' gaze, when I saw her. There she was, in her sexy lace top with one hand in her back pocket. She smiled at me, flipping her hair over her shoulder. The security guard instructed the girls to move along, and as she approached me, I felt my heart speed up. She took her time saying hello to the other boys, shaking each one of their hands. What I found so interesting about her was how calm she was. I had never encountered a single fan that didn't scream or jump or attack a single member of the band when they met us. I also couldn't remember the last time he saw a teenage girl shake somebody's hand. As she introduced herself to Louis, he cackled and shot me a look, causing the rest of the boys to break out into laughter. The girl laughed as well, as all I found myself to do was blush. She finally made her way in front of me. I stood up, reaching for her hand, I couldn't help but stare at her perfect white teeth as she smiled at me. "I'm Emma", she said as she leaned in and gripped my hand. I smiled in awe at the girl in front of me, whose hand was wrapped inside mine. "Emma", I repeated, loving the way it sounded, loving the way it suited her. Louis tapped me on the shoulder, and whispered "That's Emma. You're Harry." He was loud enough for both girls to hear, and Emma chuckled as she pulled her hand away, cocking her head slightly to the side. Harry stuttered, "R-right. I'm Harry. You alright?" I tucked his hands into my pockets, unsure of what to do with them. Emma smiled and nodded, "I'm great thanks, this is my friend- oh, nevermind, my friend Rose is over there flirting with Niall apparently." We both turned to in fact see Rose gawking over Niall, asking to take a photo. "Watch out, what she wants, she gets", Emma told me. "I don't think that'll be a problem, from the way it looks Niall's quite happy to be wanted", I said smiling. "Thanks so much for letting us come meet you, we never thought in a million years this would happen, I can't believe it is. It's crazy." Emma said, her voice softening. "No worries, I could tell you were desperate to meet us, so I was just being nice really.." I said playfully, adding a wink. Emma scoffed, "Oh really? Because I'm pretty sure you were desperate to meet us!" I grinned. "You can't tell anyone, it would completely destroy my reputation." Emma nodded, "Don't worry, the secret's safe with me."
