Chapter 7

        Harry kept walking towards me and my heart started pounding. The crowd was going wild and Ellen was just smiling as he came closer and closer. He opened up his big arms and wrapped them around me as I placed my head on his chest and put both of my hands on his back. He gave really good hugs and he was toasty warm. He was wearing black skinny jeans and a white shirt and a few necklaces that were all different lengths. He also smelled like a mixture of boy and expensive cologne. 

        The hug lasted a long time which was absolutely fine with me. I am pretty sure he could feel my heart beating an unhealthy pace because he started rubbing my back to calm me down. We both let go at the same time and he looked into my eyes and just smiled. 

"Hello, it is so nice to meet you. I heard your story and found out that you were going to be on this show so I got on the next plane to meet you!" Harry said.

"Hello" I said back instantly feeling stupid for being speechless. But who wouldn't be? I am standing next to Harry Styles. 

"Have a seat!" Ellen said. 

        I looked behind me and the seat was only big enough for one of us. Normally she would cut to commercial then switch out the chair for a bigger one, but I guess not. Harry took a step forward and sat down in the chair. I just stood there not sure what to do. I guess I could stand if I needed to. 

"Sit down" Harry said patting his legs hinting that I could sit on his lap.

        I decided that was the best option, so I walked closer to him and sat down on his skinny legs. I was afraid I weighed too much for him to handle so I just sat on the front of his legs, closer to his knees. He reached forward and wrapped his arms around me and pulled me back to sit closer to his torso. It was a little awkward at first but I got used to it quickly. He kept his arms around me and interlocked his fingers in my lap. This was a dream come true.

"Harry it was so nice of you to stop by" Ellen said to him.

"Thank you for having me on such short notice, I just really wanted to meet Haley" He said in his soothing soft voice. 

"Well I wanted to meet you too" I added. I didn't think what I said was funny but the crowd started laughing. 

My butt instantly started to get hot so I moved a little to adjust. Harry lifted up his arms for me to move, then placed them right back on my lap. 

"So Harry why did you want to meet Haley so bad?" Ellen asked.

"Are you kidding? She was so brave, I would have no idea how to handle that situation. I like girls who can take charge for themselves. Plus I think she is gorgeous" He said. 

        Did Harry Styles just call me gorgeous? I just froze and didn't know what to say so I looked back and smiled at him. He smiled back and looked away because he started bushing. 

"I am seeing some steam between you two" Ellen said and Harry just smiled.

        It started to become obvious that this is just for the cameras. There is no way Harry Styles flew across the world to see me out of all people. Then have the balls to flirt with me in front of my parents who are still in the audience. Someone must be paying him to be here. Or even making him for more publicity. The smile on my face slowly started to fade.

"We need to go on a break and when we come back we will play a short game with some of you in the audience" Ellen said to the cameras and everyone cheered.

        The guy behind the camera waved his hand and I stood up off of Harry's lap. Ellen told me that I was done and she thanked me for coming out and being on her show. I hugged her one more time before I turned around to leave. Harry was still standing there looking at me. 

"What?" I said telling myself it was just for the cameras.

"Nothing, I was being serious when I said you were gorgeous" He said, 

"No you don't think that, is someone paying you to be here or something?" He had a blank expression and his face started turning red. It didn't look like he was going to respond anytime soon so I walked past him and off the stage. 

        I started to make my way back to the dressing room. I felt kind of bad for being mean to him but I was clearly right, he was getting paid to be there because he didn't deny it. I was so excited to meet him until I realized it was too good to be true.

        I started to walk down the hall where my dressing room was located, turned the corner, and walked through the door. Harry was sitting on the couch with his feet on the wooden coffee table. How did he beat me here? Once he saw me standing by the door he stumbled to his feet.

"I am not getting paid. Yeah my managers thought it would be a good idea to come out here because it would make me look good, but I am not getting paid" He said.

He broke our eye contact and walked past me and out the door, nearly running into me as he made his dramatic exit. I just stood there in shock of what happened. 

        A few moments later both of my parents came rushing into my room. My Mom ran over to me and gave me a big hug. She didn't let go for an awkward amount of time so I made eye contact with my dad and he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. I patted her back to let her know the hug was over but she didn't understand. I had to pry myself off of her to took a step back. 

"Sorry, I am just so proud of you" She said.

"Thanks" I said back even though I am not sure why she is so proud of me.

        I am pretty sure my parents just kept talking to me but I couldn't get my mind off of Harry. Why would he come into my room and wait for me, then just walk off? Maybe I hurt his feelings for accusing him of something that was only half true. Even if he wasn't getting paid, he was only here for the publicity. Maybe I should find him before he leaves. 

        My parents just kept talking and I didn't understand a word they were saying. I could hear their voices, but not the words coming out of their mouths. 

"Excuse me, sorry" I said to them as I walked out of the room.

I need to find Harry.
