My stupid cast made it really difficult to look even remotely attractive in anything that i put on. I ended up wearing jeans and a t-shirt, nothing fancy since we were only going to be hanging around backstage listening to some of the boys' music. I wondered what the other lads in the band would be like. Louis seemed great and I think Georgia had really hit it off with him; at least, she had been pretty vague when i had questioned her about him. I was really excited about seeing Harry again actually. He was so gorgeous and I hadn't stopped thinking about him since that day on the street.

The doorbell rang and I shouted for Georgia to come in, she raced upstairs in a state of panic.
"What, what's wrong?"
"I'm freaking out; I can't decide what to wear! They're picking us up in 10 minutes and I can't decide what to wear!"
"What's wrong with what you have on now?"
"This," she said tugging on the t-shirt she was wearing "I can't go like this, I look a mess."
"Honestly Georgia you look fine!"
"Are you sure I don't look like a tramp?"
"No, honestly you look great!"
The doorbell rang. They were early. I finished applying my lipgloss and told Georgia to go let them in. "Holly, you coming?" she called up.
"yeah, i'm coming," i grabbed my bag and crutches and went to the top of the stairs only to be met by Harry. "Need any help?"
"Em, no I should be fine," I had only gone down the stairs a few times with my crutches and almost managed to break my other ankle in the process. I cautiously stumbled towards the first step, clumsily hobbling down to the next. God this was so embarrassing I couldn't even walk down my own flippin' stairs. Louis and Georgia watched me from the bottom, amused expressions on their faces. Whilst Harry stood behind me clearly concerned. "Here," he said hoisting me up into his arms.
"Ahh," I said, taken by surprise, "Harry honestly it's fine, I can walk, I'm too heavy," I protested feebly.
"Your as light as a feather, anyway you know I like acting the budding hero," we laughed as he put me down and handed me my crutches.

It took about 20 minutes to get to the club, Louis and Georgia sat in the back of the car and me in the front as Harry drove. Backstage I spotted some other lads which I guessed were part of the band; there was a tall brown haired boy named Liam, an Irish guy called Niall and a boy with a black quiff wearing a varsity jacket called Zayn. They all seemed really nice and joked around about Harry acting as my hero in the street, a story which Louis had obviously told them. It was so cute how close they all were. I knew they hadn't originally been friends, and had been formed as a band by someone else. I was told the story, but couldn't really hear over the music. They were like brothers- joking and messing around

Before they left to go and perform we checked out the crowd, it was pretty big considering they had said it would just be a "small gig". I turned around, just as one of the staff called the boys on. Harry ran on, but just before he reached the stage, quickly ran back and kissed me on the cheek. Slightly stunned, I blushed and walked (well, hobbled) over to get a better view.

It was just me and Georgia backstage; the staff were rushing around and were clearly not interested in the music. It was amazing though. We could see the boys, as well as the crowd, and they were all up on their feet and cheering. It was a small nightclub, but the atmosphere was ecstatic. Their songs were amazing, and I was even more attracted to Harry as I saw him singing, lifting his chin up and making the cutest face ever. At points he would look over and wink and my heart stopped. I would look over at Georgia and her face was a picture- a pure look of happiness and adoration. When they came off they were even more excitable. They gave each other a sweaty hug and the looks on their faces were adorable. Georgia helped escort me outside as the boys packed up.

"oh my god" screamed Georgia, clearly still deaf from the noise
"I know. They were so good- I had no idea they were so talented!"
"I know! And when they sang the line with the –"
"-so you liked it then?". Harry and Louis were standing right behind us.
"um…" we were both embarrassed to be heard clearly fangirling over guys we'd only met a few weeks ago
"Georgia, can I talk to you over here a minute. In private" Louis said, giving Harry a 'look'

"ok ok I get it. Come on Holly, we're clearly not wanted" Harry laughed, as he linked my arm and helped my walk away. We stopped and faced each other.

"it was really good Harry. Seriously good." I said
"I was so nervous, and it was so nice to see you in the audience."
We were really close now. I could feel his breath on me as he talked. My heart race sped up, and I was suddenly tongue tied.
"yes, well, as I said. It was good." Seriously, I couldn't think of something better?
"Well, as I said, you looked amazing"
"Wait, you didn't say –"
And with that, his lips were on mine. I didn't react at first, but his lips were so soft and he smelt amazing. Everything around me seemed to melt away, and I was unable to break away. When the need for air became overpowering, I stepped back. We stared at each other, both smiling.
"…Yeah I know I was just thinking that-" Louis and Georgia came round the corner, deep in conversation, but then stopped as soon they saw us.
