No judgement

11

I walked into the beautiful studio, down the street from Harry's house. Harry's family walking behind me. I really love them. They are such great people. Super excepting. I wish this was my family. I walked into the room Harry led me too, opening the door.

"Hello, you must be Baylee. Jeff told me to take very good care of you! Harry too!" He said, I smiled at Harry. When I looked back I saw Louis and him holding hands, looking at each other. It's the cutest moment. I grabbed my phone and took a really quick picture. That will be a great addition to the photobook.

"Yes that's me. It's nice to meet you." I said shaking his hand. He showed me where I would be standing, and the guitar I would be using.

"Hey Harry, It's been a while." The guy said as Harry was walking to the piano.

"Hey man, you are going to be blown away by her voice." He said. I smiled at him. I put the guitar around my neck. The guy smiled and then walked to the other side of the glass, to the control panel. He told me to start whenever I was ready. I looked over to Harry and he nodded his head. Everyone was sitting on the other side of the glass, ready to listen. I got nervous but what Harry told me the other day rang in my head.

Harry and I started playing, my voice filled the room. I was taken aback by my voice, because of the echo I could hear it. I sound better than I remember. I sang through the song, giving my all. Making sure that it is perfect. I need this to show my true emotions. It's not suppose to be a bubbly song.

When I finished the song, I heard the clapping from everyone when the guy turned on the mic. "That was wonderful. Come in here so we can go over it." He said. I put the guitar down and Harry followed me into the room. He went over to Louis and I sat between Louis and Eleanor. "Okay is there anything that you would like to change? Like maybe take the name out." He said but I wasn't going to do that.

"The name has to stay. It's part of the story. It's the whole story, my story. I am not going to exclude anything. I want people to understand why I am the way I am. It needs to be known. I am me because of him." I said nicely. He is okay with that, it's my song so he kind of needs to be. I smiled at him. "Thank you." I said. He played the song, for everyone to hear again. So we could point things out that need to be fixed. I heard a few parts the instruments didn't line up that well. Other than that It was perfect. As perfect as a song gets, especially on a first try.

Once we fixed the instruments, we were done for the day. The guy said that he was going to add a few noises and stuff into it so it adds a little more character too it. Once he gets that done, it's completely done. Harry got into the car, Louis and Harry's parents getting into that vehicle. Eleanor and I got into the other car. She drove.

"I just want to say that I am so proud of you." She said. She grabbed my hand, interwining our fingers together. I looked down at our hands and smiled.

"Thank you Eleanor." I said. Changing the song, I put Drag me down. She laughed, singing with me. "Thank you for being such a great friend, you have changed my life." I said. It's true. She has changed the way I look at things. She has shown me what it's like being loved. Her and the boys. They gave me something I haven't felt in so long. I couldn't ever thank them enough.

"You don't have to thank me. You deserve the world...You deserve happiness, and sucess. You have had such a hard life, I only know a little bit of it. I know for a fact that whatever is coming your way...the amount of love you are about to start recieving. You are one of the most deserving people of it. You deserve every ounce of love that you will get. I know for a fact the boys agree with me...you are such a great person darling, we love you." She said. I almost started crying. The amount of support she gives me, I haven't since my mom passed.

I looked up and the sky. I know she sent them to me. To protect me, to look after me. I know it. I smiled at the sky. For the first time since 2016 I can't wait to see where my life takes me. It's a high on it's own.

Once we pulled into the driveway of Harry's mom's house, Eleanor let go of my hand. We held hands for at least 30 minutes. It was nice, the contact. The feeling of not being alone. I got out of the car walking up to where everyone else was. Eleanor right behind me.

"We are going to go to the store to get some stuff for a cookout. We have a lot to celebrate. I would like to give Harry and Baylee some time to talk. Is it okay if you two come with us?" Anna said. I looked at Harry confused. They all got into the car, leaving again. I followed Harry into the house.

"What's going on Harry?" I asked. Sitting down next to him at the couch.

"Since we are in this fake relationship, we really have to make it look like it. We were invited to James Corden's show. He is going to have us do a lot of couple things. That includes kissing. I just wanted to make sure you are okay with that before I accept." He said. I definitly didn't expect to be invited to his show. I watched him growing up. Dreams really do come true. "By the time that we go your song should be out. Especially since it's pretty much done. So you will be able to promote it. Maybe even perform live." He said smiling.

"Wait really!" I jumped up. Jumping up and down.

"Yes he said that he would love for you to perform. I will play the piano for you." He said. I can't believe this is happening. It feel like my heart dropped to my stomach. "Is that a yes?" He asked me. I jumped into his arms.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" I said hugging onto him. Not letting go. "Thank you so much Harry." I said. I started crying. Of happiness, not sadness for once.

"You don't have to thank me, you did this. I really am so proud of you Baylee. You are doing such a great job. Maybe one day we can tour together. I love you Baylee." He said. I pulled away.

"That would be so great. I love you too Harry." He smiled at me. We sat back down. Life is crazy.
