EXTRAordinary-A Harry Styles Story
Chapter 2
Stupid. That's what I think of this concert so far. Or at least the thousands of girls screaming. This explains why my head feels like it's gunna explode. And the concert hasn't even started. "Carter, get up off the floor before you get stepped on!" says Sunny. "Yeah, we're front row, meaning anyone on stage can see everything we're doing. And did I mention that 1D is gunna be on that stage?! SO GET UP!" rambles Ginger. "I feel really dizzy. Can I not even sit for two seconds without being bothered?!" I yell at them over the commotion in the arena while getting up. My mood really has been dampened ever since meeting that cute, coffee guy. I feel bad for being a buzz kill on a special night for my friends, but I just don't want to be here. And these heels aren't helping. But I'm glad me and the girls compromised over a simple outfit for me. Leather shorts, loose white tank that has a lion on it, and a jean jacket. It's kind of badass and stylish at the same time. In the middle of my thought process, a random girl behind shoved my forward and I end up face planting into the edge of the stage. Man, tonight could not get any worse. Voices saying "OMG, are you okay?!" start flooding at me. With all the chaos in my head, all the voices start to sound the same. It takes me a moment to get myself together and when I finally do I feel something running on the side of my head. Am I already sweating? "Gross.. Carter, you're bleeding'!!" says Amy. "Okay, I'm going to go to the bathroom to clean up." "Do you need any help?" asks Sunny. "NO, you guys have done enough. And plus, the shows about to start. Be back soon." I say while stalking off. And within moments guilt starts flooding through my body. It's not their fault all this happened. They just wanted me to have a fun night for once. It takes about an hour for me to find a bathroom and by then I know the blood has dried up on my face. I know because I've been getting dirty looks from all ages. 1D have some pretty weird fans. I'm pretty sure I saw an old guy rocking a Harry Styles hair-do. (I know for a fact it was a wig.) "FINALLY!" I say aloud. A bathroom. I rush in and clean myself up. Ugh. I have an ugly scar now. Well, I'll laugh at this in the near future.
I notice 2 texts messages from Sunny asking where I am and if I'm okay. I text her back saying "yeah, just got a little lost. On my way back." I look up in the mirror. Hahahaha. Okay, or I'll laugh now. How silly am I. I'm only 18 and I'm always so uptight. I really need to just let loose. I won't be young forever. I walk back to where my friends are and I immediately hug them. "I'm so sorry. I've been a bitch this whole day and I know how much today means to ya'll. Please forgive? I promise I'll be a lot more fun the rest of the night!" "Awh! We're sorry too. I speak for all of us when I say that we didn't mean for any of this to happen. We just wanted to let you have a fun night before we both go off to college." says Sunny. "Yeah, and once you guys do, there will be limited girls nights like this." said Amy. "How about we just forget about everything before and just start fresh?" "Okay!!" they agree. By now, between my bathroom adventure and the apologies, the 1D concert is more than halfway over. A song starts playing that I know by heart because it plays on the radio all the time. I feel like I can relate to this song because I'm not afraid of a lot of things. But when it comes to love, I'm terrified. I don't know the name of it, but I don't care. I start dancing to the beat and look up ready to see the singer open up the song.. My heart stops. My breath stops. I swear everything around me stops. There he is. Onstage. The cute, coffee guy. Starting off the song. I guess the girls noticed my stillness and asked me what was wrong. "That's him." I say still in a daze. "Who?" asks Ginger. "The guy from earlier today. The cute guy that I spilled coffee on." "WHAT?!" they all shout at me. "Wow, Harry cleans up VERY nice." jokes Amy. "Amy, this is NOT the time to joke!!" says Sunny while slapping Amys arm. "Ouch! I'm just saying. Are you okay Carter? You've been staring at him for 2 minutes straight without blinking." "I-i-I can't believe he didn't tell me." So many emotions have been flooding through me within the past 2 minutes. And I can feel anger flowing through me. And in that second, his eyes meet mine. I overheard Amy say his name was Harry. I make sure to show the fury on my face. Realization hits him of who I am. The song finishes and he struts backstage while the other bandmates answer twitter questions real quick. Hmff. Serves him right to make a fool of me. "Guys, I'm gunna go to the bathroom." I say. "Again?!" asks Sunny. "Well, the first time I went was to clean up my face, now I really do need to pee." "Okay, hurry back." says Amy. I rush to the direction of the bathroom and run into a couple of people. I mumble sorry and reach the bathroom.
Okay.
Get yourself together Carter. Maybe he just didn't come across telling you. Wait, no. I brought up One Direction to him. He made me sound like an idiot. Ugh. Just when I start to like a guy something goes wrong. Ugh. Ugh. UGH. The buzzing of my phone brings me back to reality. "You'll never believe what just happened. A security guard came over and asked for a girl whose description sounds just like you. He says he wants the girl and whoever she came with to the concert to come backstage!!!! I SAID YOU WERE IN THE BATHROOM. Hurry back so we can go backstage! WHAT IF WE GET TO MEET ONE DIRECTION." Woah. I reread Sunny's message about 5 times before coming to a conclusion. "No. I can't see him. I've decided that he's a jerk. Come get me from the bathroom when you're done." I text back. I turn off my phone knowing Sunny will text back somehow convincing me to come out there. I decide to sit on the floor and lay my head up against the well. Today has really taken a toll on me. Next thing I know, my eyes are slowly drifting shut.
"CARTER!" someone yells at me waking me up. When I open my eyes, I see Sunny, Amy, and Ginger standing there. "What?" I say while getting up. That's when I notice the bulky guy standing behind them. "Uhm, who is he?" I ask. "That is the security guard here to take us backstage like I told you." Sunny says. She turned to the security guard and said "I told you this is who you are looking for." "Well, looks like you're right. I’ve been told that this is an urgent assignment, also I’m not allowed to go back with you Miss. So if you would just follow me and I'll take you girls backstage." he says. "EEEEP!" everyone squeals but me.
This can NOT be happening.
