beside you | wroetoshaw

it has been a few days after the night out, harry had kept apologising for his outburst which i kept replying saying it was all fine even though some of the things he said did stick with me. i think since it was from harry, out of everyone, since he was one of my closest friends before and was always real with me, maybe he did mean it.

but today it was sidemen filming, and they had asked me to be in it. i think it's called 'strangers roast the sidemen' and since the viewers don't know me, they thought it would be easier to get me instead of a random person.      1) helps them know it isn't a creep or something
2) they know that the 'banter' is there

im still quite uncomfortable about how 'back to normal' everything has went, and how quick. like not even a week ago barley anyone spoke to me but one night out i was added back to all the group chats and everyone wanted to talk to me, even though most of the time it was about harry.

it was 12pm and i was ready, the girls were going with me since i would only be filming for about 30 minutes and we can nip out for lunch afterwards.

THE FOOKING TROOPS

emilia

harry

emilia

jj

harry

ethan
🤣🤣shut up mate

i laughed at the groupchat and decided to check how i looked once more before harry came. for some reason i felt like i had to look extra good today, it must just be because i'm on camera for the first time. i think.

while curling an extra bit of hair i got a text saying harry was outside, i quickly turned the curling wand off and rushed out my flat and almost ran to the lift. my heart started beating faster, it must have just registered that i was going to be on camera for millions upon millions of people to see.
i opened harrys door, giving his a fright

"fuck sake em, a bit of warning would be nice" he gasped while clutching his chest

"sorry sorry" i threw my hands up in surrender while harry started the car

" are you ready for this?" he asked

"well i don't know what to expect so how could i be ready"

"it won't be that much work, we will just tell you some things someone has done and you just need to guess what one of us did it" he replied

"oh, right. that's definitely not what i expected it to be" i admitted

"how so?"

"i thought i'd just have to think of roasts,i don't know to be honest. i'm not too up to date on the whole youtube thing" i laughed

"you'll do great, just make sure you act like you don't know any of us. you're meant to be a 'stranger'" harry said

"i'm in photos with everyone though" i said, diffusing his logic

"the fans won't notice, they haven't before so i doubt they will now" he said, focusing on the road
