The Big New
Chapter One
2010
It was just as any other Sunday in the afternoon. The only difference was that your parents decided to live you home alone so that they could go out and have a nice dinner together.
You were cleaning the mess you did in the kitchen after trying to make a fancy sandwich with the majority of the ingredients that were in your kitchen. After washing the last dish, you heard a knocking at the door. But it wasn't just a knocking, it was a series of knockings that started to sound like a song you knew, then you knew who it was, so you hurried to open the door.
You open the door and it was Harry, looking cute in an effortless way. Right after you saw him, you knew he was hiding something. He had a fake serious face with a huge smile trying to come out, but he was hiding it.
(YN = Your Name)
"_(YN), guess what…." He spoke as he entered the door and looked at you. You new that big smile of his was going to come out at any moment.
"What?" You said it as you gave him an I-know-you-are-hiding-something kind of look.
He walked into the living room and sat on the couch as if he owned it, with his legs crossed and his arms extended above the backrest of the couch.
"I am…" His smile was starting to come out and you stood in front of him. "Going to…." He paused and you realize he was trying to create suspense.
"Going to… what!" You were getting kind of nervous, thought he did it all the time, you were wondering what could he possibly be hiding behind that actor-fail face.
"GOING TO AUDITION FOR X-FACTOR!" He yelled as he jumped up off the couch, you couldn't do anything else but hug him as hard as you could.
"Oh my god Harry!" You gently pushed him apart from you. "That's amazing, I'm so happy for you!" You really meant it because you knew he loved singing and he actually did it really good.
"I know right!" He had one of the biggest smiles you've ever seen on him. "But…"
"But what?"
"If I make it pass boot camp and the judges house …" He started to make rid of that big smile. "I'm going to miss you." He hugged you again.
"Aww Harry…." You made a pause and pushed him apart form you again, but this time you left your hands on his shoulders and looked right into his green eyes. "I'm going to miss you too, but I'm sure distance is not a problem, we will keep in touch and all that stuff."
"But it's not the same, I mean, I would not be able to have you near to me and have a lough and talk and "all that stuff"." You took off your hands from his shoulders and looked away.
"I know, I know, but this X-Factor thing it's a huge opportunity for you and I'm sure it is worth it." You gave him the warmest smile you could give to anyone. "And also keep in mind that I'm going to be your fan number one all the way through the competition and I will support you in every possible way."
Harry smiled at the floor and then he lifted his head and smiled at you. "Thank you, you are the best. And it's pretty cool to know that I'm going to have at least one fan." He said this last thing giving you a thumbs up and an over done smile.
You laugh. "And… when is the audition?" You sat in the couch and then Harry did the same thing.
"This Saturday, and you better watch it"
"I swear I will watch it, how can I miss it?"
"I don't know, just making sure, I don't want you too miss my first time on television."
You make a sign with your fingers crossing your heart. "I promise I wont, I can't miss all that curly hair fitting inside a screen."
He smiled but then he gave you a faked hard look "Ha ha, really funny, just live my hair out of this and everything is going to be okay. Deal?"
"Oh my god, I'm so scared, I'm afraid that hair will come after me while I'm asleep, I better sleep with my eyes open tonight." You said it as sarcasm.
"Yes you better do that, you never know when all this hair is going come after you. Wuahaha!"
You couldn't do anything else but laugh at his creepy laugh. "You are such a fool."
You heard some noises at the door and your parents came in and saw you.
"Hey honey, how was your evening?" Your mom asked and you could see your dad was also wondering as if they were expecting something interesting.
You smiled at them "Good." That's all you could answer.
Then they realize Harry was with you.
"Hello Harry." Your mom said warmly.
(YM = Your Mom's name) (YD = Your Dad's name)
Harry stood up fast and went over to say hi to your mom. "Hello _(YM)." He knew your parents to well so he didn't call them by their last name.
"Hello Harry" Your dad said as he lifted his hand to give Harry a handshake.
"What's up _(YD)!" He also lifted his hand to do the handshake every man did every time they greeted another man.
"What brought you here this time Harry?" Your dad asked.
"Nothing, really." He said as if it (the X-Factor thing) was actually "nothing".
"Tell them!" You yelled form the living room.
"Tell us what?" Your mom wondered.
"Uhmm…" Harry was getting kind of embarrassed. So you just went for it.
"Harry is auditioning for X-Factor this Saturday!"
"Gush Harry that's great!" Your mom said.
"Yes, I know…" Harry said blushing
"That's my man." Your father said and high fived him.
"Well, anyways, I think I should probably keep going. My mom told me to be back at eight."
"Good night then." Your mom said hugging him goodbye. "Good luck at your audition."
"Good night _(YM)." Then he turned to your dad to give him another handshake, but a normal one this time. "Good night _(YD)."
Your parents went upstairs and you stood up so you could also say goodbye to Harry.
"Goodbye _(YN)."
"Goodbye Harry."
When he was just living your front porch he turned back at you. "Dream with my curly hair."
You laugh. "I will, and I will shave it all."
"No, I don't think you have the guts."
"Well, you never know."
He gave you a warm smile and finally said. "Good night _(YN)"
Both smiled at each other and then he left.
