Chapter 68

Slowly, I started walking to the backstage. I was going to find out what was wrong with Harry, but I was going to tell the boys a great performance first.

As I walked into backstage, loads of people were everywhere. They were so fucking crowded in this small space. I knew they were crowded around the boys.

I pushed and pushed and squeezed through the crowd until I got to a space. A space where the boys happened to be.

Niall was laughing his ass off, talking to a man in a suit, along with Louis. Liam and Zayn seemed to be talking to another man and woman. Harry was nowhere to be found. What the hell?

Where was he? He just performed and he just disappears.

I walk up to Niall and interrupt his conversation.

"Where's Harry?" I said, with worried eyes.

His laughing ceased, and his smile turned to a frown. His gaze soon turned to the floor.

"We don't know." He mumbled.

"Why the fuck didn't you go look for him?" I glared at him.

I didn't care if people heard my language or not. I needed to know where the hell Harry was.

"He disappeared right after the performance, saying he would be back for the next one."

"Y'all have another performance?"

"Yes, at 9."

"Do you have any clue why he left?"

"No, we don't. He was like this right before the performance too."

"Do you have an idea where he would be?"

Niall shook his head. Fuck.

I took off without another word said. He fucking left. What the hell was wrong with him?

I walked out of the club and to the side. I called him. And called him. No answer, just his fucking voicemail.

It was 8:45, and Harry was nowhere to be seen. I sent back into the club and walked back to the bar.

I sat down and just waited. I gave up on looking for him.

Minutes later, the voice spoke again.

And now, performing again, js One Direction.

All the boys popped out from the curtain. Every single on of them had changed and Harry was in the middle again.

I only looked at him. He was wearing a black sweater, same black skinny jeans, and those brown boots. His hair was wild now, untamed without the bandana.

He spoke first, but this time, he wasn't looking at the ground. He was looking at me. Straight at me.

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

She told me in the morning
She don't feel the same about us in her bones
It seems to me that when I die
These words will be written on my stone

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I've been holdin' on too tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life, I give her hope
I spend her love until she's broke, inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

Written on these walls are
The colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open
But it stays right here in it's cage

I know that in the morning now
I see us in the light upon a hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I've been holdin' on so tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life, I'll take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life, I give her hope
I spend her love until she's broke, inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

And I've been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm and time
Is frozen

The story of my life I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love until she's broke (until she's broke inside)
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

The story of my life
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life

As it finished, everyone cheered and clapped even fucking louder than last time. Harry still looked at me.

He walked off stage, and I stayed frozen in my seat.
