Dark Corner // Harry Styles

Chapter 13 Insecurities

"I've informed Niall about this, and he said he could get a guard to supply you. but your make-up is perfect as it is now." Alex is such a sweet boy.

"why don't you have a girlfriened?"

"iew." he said in disgust. "I don't even want to think about getting a girlfriend. I'm nine." he exclaimed. more fans came and soon enough there were two or three rows behind us.

"now talk." Alex whispered as he nudged my side. I pushed him slightly, making him chuckle.

"hey." I turned to two girls sitting behind us. they both smiled at me replying with an hey.
"so you're here for One Direction?" I asked them. they both nodded their head.
"we both are, but I'm here more for 5 Seconds Of Summer. Like two bands at the same time and then Samantha." she sighed deeply.
"what do you think of Samantha?" I asked her.
"I don't like her." the other girl replied. "yes she can sing amazingly, but she seems so stuck up." it didn't make me mad that she insulted Sam. this girl just practically told me she loved my voice.
I've heard it enough times, but now it was told directly at me. and she said it honestly. "I like her, she's so pretty and perfect, I wish I could be her. and then that voice, oh and her boyfriend." the older girl winked.
"her boyfriend?" I asked raising my eyebrow. "I wouldn't want to date Harry, I rather date... Niall." A smile appeared on Alex' face as he slightly nudged my side.
"so what are your names?" I asked them.
"Penny." the girl who liked my voice said. "Penelope." said the other.
"I'm Scarlett, and this is Alex, he's my friend." Alex looked up from the sound of his name.
"you're really pretty." Penny smiled slightly. "I bet he's your boyfriends little brother." I almost chocked. almost. she said I was pretty, and I didn't know her, yet she says that. and. and she thinks I have a boyfriend. Like that's ever going to happen.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have a boyfriend." I grinned at her. she looked down blushing slightly.
"oh what do I know, but you looked like a girl who could have a boyfriend, you look really beautiful."again with the word beautiful. I didn't like the word, I didn't believe it.
"that's never been said before, do you have a boyfriend?" I asked Penny. she nodded. Penelope had fallen out of the conversation and was talking to another girl next to her.
"I have." she said a smile forming on her face. "and he's amazing, his name's Richard and he's amazing." she told me a bit about Richard and he seemed nice.
she also told me her and Penelope knew each other from school and she met Richard there too. He was a year older and they met because of detention. Penny didn't seem like the girl for detention. so I asked why.
"Because." she blushed slightly again. "my phone went off, ringing with One Direction music, and I didn't turn it off." this made me laugh.
"well, it didn't turn out as bad as you would've thought it would." I winked at her. she laughed, then suddenly I heard screams.
"gosh what happened?" I asked alarmed.
"the stage has changed, which means the show is about to start." Alex said, he took my hand and squeezed it.
"you did great Scar, you did amazing, and don't you feel good now?" he asked me.
"you're talking like I can't make friends." I said acting offended.
"friends of your own age." he said in matter of fact tone holding up his finger. the light went off. there was still a bit light from the sky, but it had clearly gotten darker.
"it's just going out in public." I told him, he nodded understandingly. "like this." Alex opened his mouth, about to say something but people started screaming, and now something actually happened.
four guys appeared on stage. One of them was my friend, one of them was natural about me and thought I was cool because I liked his hair, one is disgust by me, and I think Calum is nice to me because of pity. because he gives me these looks that just scream pity.
they started their show, I've heard their songs. I looked them up after Luke told me the whole story. I even knew a few lines. Luke noticed me standing, and he came closer to me, playing his guitar in front of us.
I waved at him, and I think he winked at me. the concert was great. in the end Calum noticed me and Alex too and he waved, making the fans around us scream.
I closed my eyes, it was over. the nerves in my stomach hadn't died down, not even when the attention was clearly focused on 5 Seconds Of Summer.
"ma'am." I screamed to a woman in a green jumper. they had started to hand out cups of water. "I'm not feeling well." I told her. she nodded her head and got me over the fence.
"are you going to stay here?" I asked Alex, not seeming unwell at all. he shrugged. "I don't want you to stay here alone." I told him.
"can you get him over the fence too?" I asked the woman. she nodded her head and got Alex over the fence too.
"now we need to get you back stage." he whispered. the woman escorted us somewhere we didn't need to go and I thanked her, telling her we knew the way out. she didn't seem convinced but let us alone anyway.
"your make-up is a bit smudged." he told me, I was alarmed, panicked. "we can go to Flora's room." I said. when we came there I quickly fixed my make-up.
"can you perform for me, seeing as I can't watch One Direction." Alex made puppy dog eyes, but even without them I would've agreed.
he pulled me towards my box and gave me my microphone. I sang a chorus of one of 5 Seconds Of Summer's songs and I felt ready.
"it's show time."

AN: so now you guys also know I can't flirt! or you noticed that way before, but I simply can't. But double update because I accidentally updated chapter 14 before I updated 13, so two chapters! that's great.
