Do The Stars Shine Out For You?

Harry

Harry returned to his flat that night nearly happier than he’d ever been before. Going on a simple date with Carly was rivaling how he’d felt when he’d made it through X-Factor and became part of One Direction, or how he’d felt the first time he went on stage for their own headlining tour, selling out stadiums filled with people who all wanted to hear them sing.

“Don’t get too excited there, mate,” Louis snickered as he entered the flat, flipping on a couple of light switches and fixing himself to the sofa and turning on the telly.

Harry barely even processed the comment before he kicked off his trainers and took a seat beside Louis. He didn’t even complain about the program they were watching, which was something Louis very well knew he hated.

“You’re really into her, aren’t you?” He asked, breaking his best friend out of his reverie.

Harry nodded enthusiastically. “I’ve never felt this way about a girl before, Lou. There’s something about her.”

Harry thought back to the first time he saw her; it’d been a strange day to begin with. First, he and the lads managed to get to the meeting early. Imagine his surprise when they walked in and Simon wasn’t there yet! Then, feeling a little excited at the prospect of having time to kill, probably messing with Carah while she did some paperwork, he sees a girl stretched out on one of their sofas, humming along to a song, oblivious to the world. Her voice had been strong and clear, carrying across the space. She probably didn’t realize how loud she had been, her ear buds were turned up high enough to drown out Niall screaming hellos to everyone in the room.

“She’s not like the other girls you’ve dated, Haz,” Louis commented, staring intently at Harry’s face while he day-dreamed. “Flirting around with her for a few months and then dropping her the second we go on tour won’t sit well. Her last boyfriend already destroyed her, and her dad sounds like a massive prick the way you went on about it. Don’t give her a reason to add your name to the list. And for Carah to kick your arse, because you know she will kick your arse.”

Harry clenched his jaw at the mention of Carly’s ex-boyfriend, Owen. From what little she had told him about it, the wanker had cheated on her so many times she couldn’t count. When he’d asked why she stayed with him, her dark green eyes glazed over with a sheen of tears and she’d whispered “Because I couldn’t bear to lose someone else.” He didn’t pester her about it again for the rest of the night.

“I know, Lou. It’s just… whenever she smiles, y’know, the real ones, it’s like there’s nothing else,” Harry said, his face turning a light shade of red. Despite what the tabloids said about him, he couldn’t deny the part of him that was a womanizer. Just a good chase and maybe a girl to kiss for a month or two and then they’d be off to the next place, always movingmovingmoving.

Carly was different.

“She is rather fit, isn’t she?” Louis said appreciatively, smirking when he got a good look at Harry’s face. Harry reached over to swat at his head jokingly, hitting some hair instead.

“Sod off,” Harry muttered, and Louis laughed.

“I get it, mate. The lads and I figured it out the second you saw her.”

“How?”

“Because you didn’t use one of your corny pick-up lines on her. For once in your life, it wasn’t about chasing skirts. You sat down and got to know her, waited a month before you tried to kiss her. Even Danielle and Eleanor noticed it when they were over. She’s changing you, and you’re changing her. Let’s hope it’s for the better.”

There was a comfortable silence between them, no words needing to be said to express Harry’s gratitude for Louis’ words.

Of course, now he just needed to figure out where he would take Carly on their date.
