Harry's Point of View

"So you think you'll be okay tomorrow night?"

I laughed at Niall's proposal, "Yeah, perfect." I'm already nervous to be performing in front of at least a hundred people--that's how many Ada said is coming so far--and I've had to work with her the whole week, trying not to make a fool out of myself. She's completely right; I have no right to barge in and try to tell her how I feel. It does suck but I need to respect her feelings too.

"Did she say anyone was coming to watch us?"

"Umm, she talked to someone but he said to send a tape and he'll think about it."

I laughed, "Stupid producers. They're missing out."

Niall and I arrived at the club first--other than Ada. She's been here everyday after school making things and getting everything together. She even took off of work for this week and left school early. I don't know how but Niall and I are actually becoming really good friends. Is that possible? What a weird situation.

"Hey Ada."

"Hey guys" she said without turning her attention to us. Whatever she's doing she's pretty focused on. And looking extremely hot today.

"You realize it's about -1 celcius outside."

Ada gave Niall her famous rolling of the eyes, "I know stupid. My sweatpants are over there." She sat in her short pink shorts and cute teal, polka dot socks. El gave those to her for Christmas. Whenever she wears tank tops I can't help but stare for as long as I can without someone noticing. She always shows a bit of skin. That perfect skin.

"You guys are early, do you want to help move some speakers for me? Oakley just went out to grab snacks for everyone."

"Yeah, no problem. Oh, and we have a name." Ada stopped and looked at me; waiting for the name. I don't know why but I felt like I needed her approval. "It's One Direction. We all thought it would sound really cool."

"Yeah and Harry came up with it. I love it."

"It sounds great!" It almost looked like she was ready to give me a hug but stopped herself. I adjusted my bandanna, pretending I didn't notice. "I think you should introduce the band as One Direction tomorrow night. We'll practice today, don't worry it'll be fun."

We walked to the storage room to grab some speakers. She's much stronger than I thought. She's also really tone; why hadn't I noticed this before?

"Everyone was asking why the fliers said No Name Yet. I thought it was funny but I guess people are saying that's what you're called." She giggled and set one of the speakers down.

Soon the rest of the guys showed up along with Oakley, El, Sarah, Franky, and Luke. They would all be helping tomorrow night.

"Okay troops! Let's start from the beginning!" Ada stood in front of us like the days before as we sat on the edge of the stage. She always had something new to say.

"I think we pretty much know all of the steps down and an outline of what everyone is going to say so we need to do that one more time. After that we're going to do a full on practice with the clothes your going to wear and everything. You brought all of the clothes, right Zayn?"

"Yes ma'am." He saluted Ada and she laughed. This was so much fun for her. I never really new what she loved to do. She plays guitar and writes but I've never seen her so happy.

"So Niall, Liam, Harry, Louis and Zayn--go ahead and stand backstage. Dan and Josh head to your instruments. Have you figured out the lights out yet Sarah?"

"Yup!"

"Okay, you and head over to the lights. Franky, you'll be at the food stand until 9:45 and make sure you close up. Elisha you'll be on the camera's recording." I can't wait for tomorrow. It's going to be perfect thanks to Ada. She continued reading off of her list, "Last, Oakley and Luke sit in those chairs on the side of the stage to move props and I'll run around frantically getting things together." She laughed to herself, "Now go, go!"

We rushed to our spots and Ada got on the stage.

Ada's Point of View

The clock hit 7:55 so Elisha, Oakley, and I walked to the ticket booth. The doors open at 8:15-- we need to be ready.

"I'm going to stamp hands and make sure they have tickets. If they have a ticket they will get a stamp from me. Elisha, you ask to see their stamp and rip their ticket. If they don't have a ticket but they have a stamp they'll go to you Oakley. Make sure they pay twelve dollars, but don't forget ten and under is still five. Sarah and Luke will be up here around 8:10 to lead people to their seats." My hands started to sweat. I'm so nervous for this.

"So does everything sound okay?"

"Yes! Just call down girly! Everything is going to be fine!" El gave me one of her loving hugs and they sat behind the ticket booth talking.

I grabbed my stamper and made sure the poles were set up to form a line. The guys were in the back getting ready and doing sound check. I wish I could be back there making sure everything was perfect but I know Luke has it under control.

"Thank you guys, enjoy!" The first few people were arriving and I am ridiculously nervous.

"Yes, right that way!" About thirty people were already inside and I know at least seventy more will be here. The club can hold two hundred so anyone can buy tickets at the door. The best part is, buying tickets at the door is two extra dollars. Mwahahaha, I thought to myself.

When I had a moment to myself before another group of people came in I pulled my leggings down a bit and fixed my hat. My palms weren't sweating as bad and I smiled even more when people without tickets showed up. That meant the word was spreading around town.

"Hi Mrs. Styles!" She arrived with Gemma and I made sure Sarah led them upstairs with their families. They were all very excited to see the boys.

At 8:40 Luke came out to take my spot. I still had to give the guys a pep talk and make sure everything's perfect.

"Alright once it hits 9:00 put this sign on the door." It read:

STOP AT FRONT DESK FOR TICKETS
NO ENTRY AFTER 9:20

"Franky just got here so he'll be at the concession stand until 9:45 when it closes. Okay?"

Luke laughed, "Yes, everything will be great! You're pretty awesome for doing this. I'm sure all of the guys love you right now." He laughed again and I walked back stage.

Liam and Harry were laughing hysterically about something, Niall was on Dan's back running from Josh, and I have no idea where Louis and Zayn are.

"Guys!" Those I can actually see stopped and saw my puzzlement. "You are about to start the show in twenty minutes! Are you all dressed? Niall, where's your guitar? Josh and Dan! You guys have to be out at 8:59! And where the hell is Louis and Zayn?!"

Thankfully the crowd was loud enough to the point that they couldn't hear my frustration behind the stage.

"Hey, it's okay." Niall tried to comfort me. "Just calm down, we're all ready to go."

"Yeah, sound check went smoothly and Sarah said she'll be ready with the lights at 8:55 as planned." They all contained themselves and beamed with excitement. I took a deep breath, bringing my shoulders up and then letting them fall as I exhaled.

"Could you guys stand in a straight line for me?"

They did so as Louis and Zayn came out of no where. I scanned each of them. I started with Liam, unbuttoning the top button on his shirt, then patted his chest. Perfect. All of them stood quietly as if I were their sergeant. Next I moved to Louis who needed his jeans rolled up twice and his hair to his left.

"Perfect Zayn." He had great style. I smiled and tapped him on the shoulder while moving on.

Next was Harry. His boots were as clean as they were going to get, his jeans fit tightly, just like he liked, his shirt hung low--showing his beautiful tattoos and his bandanna is messed up. I debated fixing it but I'm running out of time. I adjusted it so his hair looked okay and then smiled,
"You look great." He smiled and I moved to my love, Niall. I sighed as I noticed his shirt was all twisted around the shoulder where he was rough housing. I moved the sleeve around until it was set and then rolled up his sleeves to his elbow.

"You guys are ready now!" I checked the time, 8:51. "Are you guys excited?" I tried not to be nervous but I can't help it. Finally Liam spoke up,

"Yeah, we're ready!"

"I'm going to go make sure everything is okay out make sure my little drummer boy and guitarist come out at 8:59!" They pointed at me,

"We'll be there!"

The boys huddled as I walked out front and saw all of the people. There are at least a hundred if not more. Wow, this is crazy. The lights dimmed a bit; thank you Sarah. I smiled, right on time.

"Ready?" Oakley skipped over to me.

"As ready as I'll ever be. How many people are here?"

"127! Can you believe that? And when I left there were still more coming in!"

Wow, I thought to myself. This is so exciting.

"Is Elisha at the cameras?

"Mhmm! Don't worry, everything's perfect."

"Alright, let's get this thing rolling."

Oakley sat in his designated spot next to the stage and I walked on at 8:57, just as planned.

---

I tapped on the mic, "Good evening everyone!" My hands were shaky but I know the more I talk the calmer I will become. "I'm so thrilled that everyone could come out and support these guys tonight. It's just mental!"

Everyone clapped and I continued as Dan and Josh got on stage. They gave me a thumbs up and I kept speaking.

"Tonight is going to be a lot of fun and there will be a lot of different music that the boys have written. You have heard some of them if you have ever joined us at Harper's Coffee! Don't forget that we have concessions in the main lobby and they will close right after our intermission. Let's go ahead and welcome our amazing musicians; Dan and Josh! And now here is Harry, Zayn, Loius, Liam, and Niall!"

The crowd clapped as the guys walked on as planned, Harry taking the mic from me while Zayn and Louis passed him. Liam stood next to Harry and then Niall was on the end.

"Hi guys. Ada just introduced us but we have another name we'd like to call ourselves. We are officially One Direction." Everyone clapped some more and I stood against the wall by the stage; noticing a lot of the audience were young girls and girls from the high schools around town. Wonderful; if they get big girls will be all over Niall. I laughed to myself, no way.

"We're first going to start off with One Way or Another, I'm sure all of you have heard of it."

Harry looked at me and then at the band. For this song Niall had his guitar, thank god he remembered it. They sang and moved around the stage as planned. When it was over the lights dimmed in the background for Oakley, Luke and I to take off some of the backgrounds. This is really happening. We grabbed the mic stands and Liam spoke as they rearranged themselves and I took Niall's guitar.

"Thank you!" Liam waved, "This next song is one was the first we wrote as a group. This is Story of My Life.

Once again they sang in a diamond formation, Harry beginning in the front then he moved to his right for Liam to step in. Zayn followed and then Harry came from behind to sing the strong chorus. They played like they have been doing this for years. I couldn't help but mumble along.

"You guys are awesome!" Harry said into his mic, breathing a bit heavily. Oakley and Luke were back on stage working with the props as Harry continued.

"Now, Oakley and Luke are taking a while." The audience laughed and the guys went along with it. I'm so glad he remembered what to say. "I want to thank you all again. I have to say though," he held up his left index finger and pointed it all over the audience. It his geekiest voice he used to play around with when we were younger he said, "you're cute as a button, everyone single one of you!" A roar came from the audience, especially from the girls. He looked to me with his dimples. I remember him saying that to me one time when he was drunk,

"You are as cute as a button Ada." Still to this day I will never forget that.

When the laughter faded away the moved into The Best Song Ever followed by a slower one where that sat on the edge of the stage, Half a Heart. During the middle they were to each stand and point to someone in the audience; locking eyes to make them feel apart of the performance. I'm not even joking when I say girls began crying. I couldn't believe my eyes. What the hell.

Kiss You was so much fun! This was definitely their favorite so far. There's nothing those boys love more than to run around. It was a great ending to the intermission. I took Niall's mic as they headed off stage.

"Yuck! This thing is just disgusting. Can you believe how much sweat is lingering around up here?" We had such awesome people tonight. Everyone was laughing at my jokes which really aren't that funny.

"I hope you guys are enjoying yourselves. This took a lot of work and I know the boys are proud of this. Now during the intermission go ahead and stop at the lou, get some snacks, and there will be a small video playing behind me," I pointed to the screens, "of some rehearsals. This will be about fifteen minutes and don't forget about snacks! They will be closed after these fifteen minutes!"

I set down the mic and Oakley and Luke worked on the stage for the next half. They also had the job of watching the audience to make sure no one got too crazy. I went back stage and they were so happy.

Niall's Point of View

"Seriously mates, we are smashin' it." We were all so high off of tonight and Liam was on point. He saw Ada and picked her up, spinning her around. "You are so amazing sis!"

"Alright, well let's put me down before I get sick." She giggled her nervous little laugh. I know she won't let her nerves go until everyone is gone.

"How is everyone feeling? Sweaty?" She took her dorky glasses off and wiped her eyes.

"Yeah." Zayn said, still on cloud nine. "I don't know how we can thank you Ada. This is just out of this world."

"Don't get ahead of yourself there's still a second half." After placing her glasses back on her face she took her beanie off and flipped her hair towards the ground and brushed her hands through it. I glared at the ones who were staring at her ass. Harry actually wasn't which was surprising. "Five more songs left, do you guys all remember your parts?"

"Mhmm, I just hope some people try to leave."

"What? Why Louis?!"

"Because if they don't Niall and I won't have a part."

Ada laughed, "Oh, I forgot about that." I was really excited for that too. We were going to ask people to stay for one more song and tell them they aren't going to beat the traffic. It's going to be so funny.

She looked at her phone. Okay wipe off and go to the bathroom if you have to go," she directed that towards me, "I'm about to go on!" Ada went on stage and I ran to the bathroom, still able to hear her.

"I hope you guys all had a nice little break but we're about ready to keep going! Next is Rock Me!"

We hopped on stage and went to our mic stands. The song began and then we used the mic stands again for Through the Dark. When we were ready to play Little Things, Louis spoke,

"Is everyone enjoying your evening? Yeah, yeah, good! Now while we're waiting for the slow pokes I'd like to hand the mic over to one of my good friends. He has the best cheek bones I have ever encountered. This is Zayn Malik!"

Everyone clapped and I tried not to laugh from happiness.

"Hi guys, I'm Zayn. I'm sure you're having a great time because all of my best mates have already asked you. We are very thankful you all have enjoyed our music so far and we would love to come back again. If you love us five idiots please follow us on our new twitter page!"

Ada made the screen pop up to show @OneDirection. Right now we have about twenty followers....mainly our family. We'd love for you all to join and the more support we have, the more likely we will be able to continue with our music!"

Zayn looked at Ada and she gave us another thumbs up. "This is Little Things."

As I sang my part I couldn't help but notice some girls tearing up. Ada told me backstage the reactions were crazy but is this what she meant? I just hope everyone loves us as much as we love doing this. I don't think I ever wanna do anything else.

More claps and then Harry spoke. "So, while we wait, does any-body," he carried out anybody, "have any jokes?" We heard some more giggles but Harry walked to Dan and asked, "Do you have any jokes Dan?"

"Uhhh," this was going great, just as planned. Harry cut him off like he was supposed to.

"I have one! Why couldn't the flower ride his bike?"

"Why?" The crowd said loudly.

"Because he lost his petals!" Laughter filled the club over one of Harry's many corny jokes.

The show went on with only two songs left. When it ended we all bowed, thanked the crowd and walked backstage for Ada to finish.

"That was so much fun!" Harry said loudly. I've never seen him this happy. We all came together for another huddle and jumped on each other until we all fell down. Ada walked backstage and saw us. She put her hands on her hips,

"I love you guys." She smiled and we then jumped on her, thanking her a million times.
