Frozen (Harry Styles)

Chapter 2

June 25, 2013 - New York

Two weeks passed by quickly, Amy completed her last exams and she was happy that she made her mum and dad proud of her school success. Tomorrow night was the prom night. She didn't even think about that because she decided not to go. Amy couldn't stand so much people at one place, thinking that they should get drunk and fool around because they will never see each other again. And she didn't have a partner.

She and Matt had an agreement that they are going to be each others partner at the prom night, but he hooked up with Sarah so no point for her to be there. The only thing she was worrying and freaking out was the photoshoot. "How it's going to be? Who will she meet? Is she going to win or she'll be turned down? What's gonna happen if she wins?" Those were only part of the questions Amy had on her mind.

Amy's P.O.V.

I spent my whole day home because my aunt and her kids were here. Those kids irritated me so much. They were constantly running around the house and made so much noise. I was so glad that they were finally gone. As soon as they got away, I went to my room and sat on my bed. I started to feel sick again. That nervous feeling had no intention to leave. My mum always says that I overthink for everything, I guess she's right. But how can you stay calm when something so important was going to happen? My whole life could be changed.

I heard the man from the radio announcing something

"Ladies and gentlemen, the BRAND NEW single from One Direction, Little Things!" after a quick pause he continued "Better prepare your tissues, here we go!"

Ha, no fucking way that I'll listen to this shit, I thought to myself and stood up to change the station. I heard the music starting and it was so calming and slow.. "Ew" I said as I changed the station. I hated them. With no specific reason. Everybody around me hated them, so I hated them too. Maybe it would sound that I was living under a rock, but I've never heard their songs. Not a single one. I never was interested to do that. When their songs would come up, I usually turned of the radio or TV. And I hated them anyway.

"WHAT?!" I shouted when I heard the same song on another radio station. "You gotta be kidding me!" I changed to a third one. Same. All stations were playing the same song. Why the fuck would they do that? It has no sense. I reached for the power button, planning to turn it off. I couldn't. That song was nice, though I didn't want to accept that. So calming. "What the fuck Amy, turn it off!" I said to myself and quickly turned it off. I jumped on my bed again. Couldn't believe I just liked a One Direction song. But it calmed me a little, that melody and voices.. What is happening to me? This is not me. I got my phone and logged in to Twitter. As I was following some crazy Directioners, I could see from their tweets that they were so exited from listening to that song. My timeline was full with statements that

Little Things is so perfect!

OMG I'D LISTEN TO THIS SONG TILL THE REST OF MY LIFE!

Thank you Ed for Little Things!

Someone hold me, I'm crying, this is fucking perfection!!

and many many exited tweets.

"So much drama over one song." I said. Then a tweet turned up

SUCK IT HATERS!! #LittleThingIsPerfect

Damn. Those words hit me. "What a rude bitch" I thought to myself. I scrolled through the new tweets on my timeline and saw the tweet from a radio statio

"Enjoyed the first play of Little Things? Tune in NOW to enjoy one more time! #SecondPlay"

I thought for a second and accepted the challenge. I quickly tweeted "I hope I won't die :("

and turned up the radio to that station. It began. Okay, it is quite nice. The chorus started and I got little shivers. I unconsciously started enjoying the song. Not that I liked it, it only was a pretty song that got away my nervousness. Then I heard a new voice in the song. A really deep and strong voice. I got goosebumps. "This is not right, I am not doing this, I hate them.." It finished. Finally. But I still couldn't believe I just liked a One Direction song. I picked my phone up again and tweeted "You win this time" referring to One Direction. I couldn't hurt my ego by mentioning them or something, that would be too much.

My phone started buzzing and I dropped it cause it scared me since it was in my hands. It was Matt. He always knows when he should call.

"Wazaaaap?" I said.

"Hey, nothing, just checking you out. What are you doing?" he said smiling

"Uhm, nothing special, just thinking"

"Are you thinking about the prom? Tell me you decided to come!" I could feel the hope in his voice

"Nope, not coming. Matt, I don't want to, I am not going to have fun. It's just not my thing."

"Okay." he replied so disappointed, but I couldn't do it. Like I said, partying wans't my thing. I looked over the radio and remembered what happened with me and One Direction, so I started laughing and said to Matt

"Anyway! Do you know what just happened?"

"No, what?" he said

"I just unintentionally listened to a new One Direction song called Little Things or something, and I kinda liked it you know?"

"Oh, someone is turning into a Directioner!" he said sarcastically

"Shut up. I don't get it why I liked it, I hate them and everything about them. I'm confused"

"Well did you know that Ed Sheeran wrote it? Maybe that's why you liked it. Ed is the master."

"Really?!" I was so surprised, I liked Ed so much! I wasn't some crazy fan, but his songs were all beautiful. Than a flashback from Twitter came to my mind. I remembered that girl thanking Ed for the perfect song. "I get it now! It means I liked Ed's song, not One Directions' !!"

"Yeah, too bad, I thought you are turning into a Directioner so I can tell my sister she has a new friend" he started laughing so loud

"Ew, never! Don't even think about that!"

"I won't, don't worry. Okay, I have to go, we'll talk soon again. Bye Amy"

"Byee!"

I was so relieved. It turned out that the song was from Ed. I liked Ed, so no problem anymore. I looked up the clock and it was 9.15pm. "I should do something, something that will keep myself away from the thoughts about the competition." I froze. "Shit, the competition! Okay, stay calm, stay positive. Everything is alright, nothing's going to happen" I guess that way of thinking helped me a little. I snuggled up in my bed and tried to sleep. I started humming some songs like I always do when I try to sleep, except when I'm extremely tired so I have no time to sing to myself. This time I could swear that I sand almost every song that I ever heard, but still couldn't sleep. I thought for a second with a little hesitation I started singing it. That song. The song Ed wrote, not the song One Direction sang. I liked to call it that way better. My eyes started to close. It was a nice feeling. I remember that I thought tomorrow was gonna be a long day before I fell totally asleep.
