Description - You and Harry haven't seen each other since he cheated. Harry's performing this evening at the O2 London and you're also there on shift tonight.

2 weeks and 2 days. 

That's how long it had been since you'd caught Harry between the sheets with another woman. The minute you'd walked through your, shared apartment, door you knew something was up. Harry hadn't been sat on the couch waiting for you, like he normally did when you finished work late. You only had to walk into the master bedroom to find another woman pleasuring him. You knew by the empty Jack Daniels bottles on the floor that he had been drunk, but that was no excuse for his wandering hands.

You'd left him that very night. 

You'd had to live in a hotel for the past two weeks, considering you were limited with your living options. You only worked as a staff member in the London O2 arena, which paid you peanuts, so you also had to get yourself some other part time jobs to try and build up as much money as possible to get yourself back on your feet. A hotel was the best you could afford at the moment.

Every night, you cried about that evening. You couldn't pin point where you'd gone wrong or how you could've been a better girlfriend, but you had to remind yourself to let that part of your life go now. It was hard though. Harry had been a part of your life for coming up to 5 years now - being in a relationship for 3 of them. 

You just hoped Harry was doing okay. Even after what he did, you still loved him very much.

Fortunately you had been put on staff duty for tonight at the arena, which would give you the boost in money you needed to afford a deposit on an apartment. Unfortunately, though, your now ex-boyfriend was hosting his tour there tonight. As much as you wanted to see him and ask how he was doing you knew that would be a really stupid idea. You knew you could easily steer clear of him tonight, as the O2 was so big, so that wasn't an issue. The issue was that you were actually considering going to talk to him. Harry knew you worked here so you wondered whether he thought about the chance of you being there tonight.

When you arrived at the O2 you said hello to Sally on the front desk and then went into the crew room. Lucas, your best friend, was there waiting for you.

"Nervous?" He asked looking at you with sad eyes. Lucas knew everything that'd happened and he swore that if he came face-to-face with Harry tonight, then he would knee him in the balls. It was obviously a joke, but then again Lucas was very defensive over you. He was a big brother to you.

"Little bit." You laughed, trying to play it off cool but actually being very nervous. "I mean I love his music so I guess that's a bonus?" 

You put your bag and coat in your designated locker, that never shut properly. You put on your 3/4 zip fleece with the words STAFF embroidered on the back. Your work attire was very simple. The fleece, black mom jeans and then you were wearing high-top black converse.

"Well you're going to be fine." Lucas pulled you in for a hug and then you two left for the meeting room, where your manager, and the artists manager, tell you what the plan is for the evening.

You were sat in the back of the room with Lucas, and a couple of your other close friends at work. You were listening to your manager explain the plan and distribute roles to people. You had been given the job of standing in an entrance/exit, on the ground level of the stadium, to check tickets once more as people came in and escort people to their seats if they were lost. It was your personal favourite, however the downside was that it also involved cleaning and sweeping up after the concert.
