Harry stared up at the building, intimidated by it. He hadn't expected Modest Management to be such a big building.

"You ready, Haz?" His blonde mate asked, walking to the doors of the building. Harry blinked a few times before nodding and heading inside the building.

He strode straight up to the receptionist. The woman didnt even glance up as she asked for his name. "I'm Harry. Harry Styles." He greeted, flashing her a smile -dimples and all- when looked up. Unfazed, she handed him a name tag and pointed him in the direction of the elevators. Harry pouted, disappointed that his charm hadn't worked. He rolled his eyes and walked to the elevator, Niall following right behind.

"She shut you down." Niall teased as they stepped into the lift. Harry glared at the shorter lad. "Whatever. I wasn't interested anyway. Just trying to be nice." Niall chuckled at the pitiful excuse. Harry kept his arms crossed, even after they were off the lift. He walked up to the receptionist's desk on that floor - who happened to be younger and kinder than the first. He sent her a bright smile, earning a small giggle from her and scoff from Niall.

He grabbed the folder he needed and sat over in what he assumed was the waiting area. He filled out all of the sheets and read the lyrics to the song he was supposed to audition with. It was a song from the second One Direction album, Take Me Home. He recognized it from the millions of times Niall had played it...and maybe the times he secretly listened.

The 18 year old glanced over at Niall's paperwork. "What song do you have to sing?" He asked.

"Moments." Niall replied, deep in thought. Harry frowned. That was the song he had wanted. It was the one written by Ed Sheeran. His favorite out of all. "What about you?"

"Rock Me." Harry couldn't help but smile a bit. It wasn't an Ed Sheeran song, but it was another favorite.

Before Niall could respond, a man appeared in the area. "Niall Horan?" He called. The blonde stood up, handing everything to the man. He was quickly guided into a room, without even a small good luck from his best mate.

Harry figured Niall would be emerging from the audition room at any moment now. It had been 15 minutes and there was no sign of the Irish lad.

As if on cue, Niall burst through the doors. Harry scanned his face, hoping to tell what happened, but was met with nothing.

"Harry Styles?" The same man called from right behind Niall. Harry stood up, handing him the paperwork. To say he was nervous would be an understatement. He was absolutely terrified.

"I'm Paul Higgins, tour manager and security for One Direction. Louis' talked about you quite a bit." The man - Paul - stated. Harry gave a small smile and nodded. "Good luck." He said before entering the room with Harry.

Harry walked in, standing in the center of the room. In front of him, sitting, was none other than Simon Cowell. He felt as if he was on X-Factor or Pop Idol. He looked to the sides of Simon, finding two of three members of One Direction. Liam Payne and Zayn Malik.

Ready to ask where Louis was, Harry spotted a short brunette walking into the room with a Starbucks cup in his hand.

"Okay, I know I'm late for the auditions, but the people at Starbucks put caffeine in my drink. You all know I don't like coffee. And the line in there was huge, I mean, I know it's Starbucks, but wow! I barely got my drink-" Louis was interrupted by Simon clearing his throat and point to the front of the room.

The popstar glanced up, widened his eyes, and scurried to his seat next to Zayn. "Continue." He said, as if nothing just happened. Harry smiled, mostly to Louis who was grinning.

"What's going to happen is, you're going to sing the first verse, Louis will sing the bridge, and then the chorus with the other boys." Simon explained. Harry nodded. "Begin." Simon ordered. The intro to Rock Me began, cueing Harry to sing.

"Do you remember summer '09, wanna go back there every night. Just can't lie, was the best time of my life. Lying on the beach as the sun blew out, playing this guitar by the fire too loud. Oh my my, they could never shut us down." Harry sang out, nerves setting down.

"I used to think that I was better alone. Why did I ever want to let you go? Under the moonlight, as we stared at the sea. The words you whispered, I will always believe." Louis sang, smiling the entire time.

"I want you to rock me. Rock me. Rock me, yeah. I want you to rock me. Rock me. Rock me, yeah. I want you to hit the pedal, heavy metal, show me you care. I want you to rock me. Rock me. Rock me, yeah." All four of the boys sang the chorus. Harry felt comfortable by then, singing as if he were in his bedroom, on his small webcam.

Simon held a hand up, making the music stop. "Thank you. We'll get back to you tomorrow." Harry nodded, waving and exiting he room.

'You did great, Harry!' -L Louis sent the text out quickly, wanting to reassure the younger boy. Louis was sure that Harry would get in the band. Niall, too. Even though he didn't hear Niall's audition, he knew the Irish lad would be put in, too. '

Thanks, I hope I was good enough.' -H

The singer rolled his eyes, typing out a quick reply.

'Of course you were' -L

He pressed send and threw his phone next to him on the bed. He had to stay a few hours longer than the other boys, just because he was late. Meaning, he got the lovely opportunity of helping Simon decide if Harry and Niall were good enough for the band. Which actually put Harry in his favor.

"Hey Lou. What are you up to?" Zayn asked as he walked his his bandmate's room. Louis shrugged, smiling.

"That rhymed, DJ Malik." Louis commented. The raven haired boy laughed, sitting next to Louis. "I'm so excited to have Harry in the band. Do you think the fans will like him?"

"Probably. I mean, he's got the voice and the look. What's not to love?" Zayn smiled. Louis playfully glared.

"Hey, he's mine. Go back to Liam." Louis said. Zayn blushed, rolling his eyes. "When are the two of you gonna act on that anyways?" He asked.

Zayn shrugged. "Whenever we feel like it, I guess." Louis sighed, picking up his phone again and reading the new text. '

Ok, sure Louis.' -H

Louis shook his head, annoyed with Harry for not being confident. It was as if the cocky youtuber had been replaced by a timid and scared boy. Not that Harry was conceited, but he was self assured.

"I'm gonna go hang out with Liam." Zayn said, getting up and walking towards the door. Louis nodded. "Have fun texting Harry." He said before walking out of Louis' room.

The oldest sent back a message to Harry and connected his phone to the charger. He grabbed his laptop and immediately went to youtube. He clicked on his "special" playlist, and sat back in his bed.

"Tomorrow, Harry." Louis whispered to the singing boy on the screen. "Tomorrow."
