What can I get for you?

The final show

During the last round, where they found out that they won third place...

You were in the stands, cheering him on all along. 

It had been hard to persuade your parents, but after promising that your studies would improve significantly, they allowed you to let you go to the X-factor stage and cheer him on.

"Well done Harry!" you fly down to meet him, still shocked by how well he sang.

"Y/n! Heyyy! Long time no see! I saw you! You have no idea how happy I was! " he laughs as he scoops you into a hug. "How's life? "

"Terrible... as usual." You state and his smile vanishes from his face. "Why do you think I was in such a cranky mood so frequently when we texted? But you made things better. Anyways, let's not talk about me... Let's talk about you! It must have been so hard to realise you guys only got third place! I thought you were going to make it to first place! Those judges don't know talent! I was cheering you on throughout the performance so my voice is really hoarse right now.... Tell me about it? How did you overcome your stage fright? Remember when you threw up before your White Eskimo performance in school? I only heard about it through gossip..." you ask quickly, hoping to diffuse the tension.

He laughs and nods. "I know you were... that's why I managed to come this far! And no, i did not throw up this time! Hahah! Let me just tell my parents and the boys that we are going out for dinner okay? We will catch up I promise."

You smile and he introduces you to the boys, leaving you to make small talk with them.

"Hey, you're the one he texts none stop right?" the Irish guy, Niall, asks.

You blush.

"Niall!" Louis exclaims. "Let Harry have his privacy!"

"Yeah! You already exposed him on Whatsapp!" Liam says.

"Well I'm sorry, but you always make his day by texting him." Niall quickly states before Louis whacks him on the head.

"Okay okay! I'll shut up now."

You laugh, still blushing as you remember all the long text conversations you had with Harry, cheering and encouraging him. He is always there for you, the least you could do was encourage him... even if he spent most of the time cheering you up instead.

"Parent approved!' Harry exclaims as he runs up to you guys. "How 'bout we go to...."

"Nandos!" Niall exclaims, "Thanks mate!"

I laugh out loud. Harry looks confused but nods. Privately, he leans down and asks you if it's fine, since the boys seem intent on joining you two. You smile up at him, "there's nothing I would want more."

*****************************************************************************************

As the night ends, laughter still ringing in the air, you wrap your arms around Harry, saying your goodbyes. 

"That was fun." you announce airily

"I wish we could have caught  up though." he mutters back

"We will soon..." you trial of as you realise something

"Is this the last time I'll see you?" You whisper.

"No. Definitely not.  I'll find a way to meet you again, I promise. In the meantime, keep cheering me on okay? I need my lucky charm to be rooting for me. Text me if you need anything, I'll be there for you. I'll rescue you from that place and I'll have my parents looking out for you. I promise I will do anything to rescue you from there. If it means having to do weird things to get attention to earn money to let you have what you couldn't have, I will." he whispers back.

"I will always be rooting for you. I promise. Stay safe okay? Don't do anything dumb." You answer.

With that, you pry yourself out of the embrace and start to find your way back home.
