Same Mistakes (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 18 : Love Is on Its Way

We were almost there when Niall shouted "Oh my god! i cannot go there" we all getting out of our worlds looked at Niall but before he could speak anything we saw what he was talking about. There was a massive crowd bigger than I guess I had ever seen. people were taking pictures. A whole lot of paperazzi was snapping pictures and speaking through mikes. there were long partitions in order to prevent the number of fans from the marvellous red carpet that led into the hotel.

"Come on Niall its not that bad, you've been to these things before. This event is big. We gotta be there or Simon will kill us." Liam spoke bravely, even though I knew he was just as scared as the rest of us. I gulped and I felt Harry's hand tighten around my wrist. "Just keep calm, smile and hold on to me. Its gonna be fine." he whispered in my ear. "I doubt the first two but I'll try.'' I said feeling my voice going husky and closed my eyes to keep myself calm.

"Here we are. We have to get out from here or they'll know about my car." Liam said parking at the end of the street. We all got out and shaking walked towards the lights. Niall and Liam stepped on the carpet first. Me and Harry were next, I squeezed his hand tightly. As soon as we set foot on the carpet, for atleast twenty seconds, I was blinded by the lights and flashes that were turned towards us. When my vision came back, I could see a number of people firing questions and holding their mikes up to my face. "Why-" Someone spoke but then more people started speaking, I couldn't understaand a thing "How-", "Harry-", "change your-". I started walking towards the door that I couldn't move.

Harry realized my efforts and forced past some of them. "Are you officially back together?" We stopped. "Yes. We are and we're glad for it." he replied and walked towards the door where Paul was anxiously waiting. After the paperazzi came the fans who ofcourse Harry could not ignore at any cost. He went for signing autographs and taking pictures for some. "Can I have picture with you and Nicole?" A cute black haired girl asked. Harry lend out his hand indicating me towards him from where I stood. I stepped into his arms which wrapped around my waist. The girl took a picture of us first and then we bent to her sides and Harry snapped the picture.

I was delighted by the thought that atleast some of the directioners liked me. But that was all ruined when someone in the fans shouted from behind and even though through all those noises we were able to hear it. "Come on Harry!! She's not worth it, I thought you were better than that!" I felt hot tears sting in my eyes. Before they fell, I ran inside the doors but Harry did not follow. I went into a restroom, bent over the sink and took out all of it. I felt soft arms around my shoulders and I knew they weren't Harry's. "Nicole. Sweety, don't let them get to you like that. They're just jealous." El spoke,  comforting me which was partly working.

"But El, they might be right. Harry deserves someone better than me. I'm not worth it." I said getting up and hugging her. She rubbed my back. "Its not like that. Harry deserves, needs and wants you more than anything. You know its true. If that hadn't been then you two wouldn't be together." I withdrawed my head from her shoulder, "You think so?" I asked. "Yes. Yes I do. And by the way you have to give me the details, I wanna know all about it." She smiled. I tried to smile through my tear stained face. "Clean up and I'll see you at our table." she said and left.

I looked at myself in the mirror. My makeup wasn't ruined at all as it was water resistent. My eyes were puffy and tears lined the cheeks. I wiped it all with a tissue and everything was back to good. I opened the door, I strolled looking for our table and finally I saw them. As I went closer I saw what was going on, Simon Cowell was sitting there, beside him was Harry and Niall on the other side, then Liam, Eleanor, Lou, Perrie and lastly Zayn.

Simon and Harry were arguing on something, I could see it from their faces. The rest were trying to calm them down. I got closer. "Harry, I'm just asking why the... freak did you shout like that?! They were all there, people are going to write things they've never even heard. Your going crazy is going to cost us alot." Simon said. "Simon. Its like you have no idea what just happened. They made Nicole cry." Harry said through gritted teeth. "I am well aware of that. But being a celebrity has to control you in public and just because of her you can't just go acting like that." Simon said sternly just like my mother. Harry said nothing further. "Harry? Are we clear? No more-" he stopped by the clearing of throat from Paul who was standin behind Simon. There eyes shifted to me. Harry's eyes changed to comforting and he patted the seat on his side where I sat down.

We were all silent. "Do you know Simon that it was Nicole's house in which we had to get dressed in as I think Zayn forgot to tell us earlier that we were to be here." Niall said with a toothy grin. Zayn stared at himm with the eyes of a murderer. Simon looked at me and nodded a thank you. "Now if you all don't mind and can continue a good behavior, I'll go join my wife. And don't forget that you have a performance in an hour so be in the changing rooms in twenty." Simon said getting up. When Simon left, I could feel the tense bodies of everyone losen.

Harry didn't say anything the entire time. After two minutes the boys decided to go have chats with the guests at the party, leaving me, El and Perrie on the table. "So start now!" El said rubbing her hands together. I told them the whole story. I felt very good speaking to people to whom I could talk with more then easily. They shared the comments that comforted me and awed at when I told them how Harry had said that I love you at the moment we were both angry. "See no Nicole? Harry loves you through everything. Didn't I tell you." El said when I ended. "But the thing is... why did you break up with him Nicole? He was so broken." Perrie said. "I guess I was an idiot then." I laughed.

Liam came back. "Come on girls, we'll need you with us." he said motioning us to the backstage curtains. When we got in. Harry, Lou and Zayn were already dressend in their performing clothes. I went over and sat beside Harry on the couch. I took his hand and tried to squeeze it comfortingly, luckily he squeezed back. Soon the host announced for them to come on stage where they performed Little Things. I don't know when it happened but I fell asleep on the couch backstage. El and Perrie had sat beside be but I don't know why they hadn't waken me up.

The two only more things that I remember of that night was that when we were in someone's car where when I started to wake up, Harry's voice started singing a lullaby to me. The next was when someone put me on the bed, I felt warm lips against mine. The lips pulled away, Harry's body slid beside me and his hand came to lie on my waist. "I want you." his voice whispered, I could feel him smiling against my ear. "Not yet baby." I mumbled smiling and drooped my eyes shut and instantly fell asleep.

Sorry for being this super late. I didn't have time, my exams are going on and I don't know if I am going to be able to do the story like I do. They're just three more days then I'll be back. Otherwise I'll try my best to write in the chapters that I can. Please vote and comment!
