Hanging By A Moment

Samantha's POV:
The crowd cheered as the familiar song blasted throughout the stadium. The five boys took over the stage and closed the Grammy's awards. The screams, the squeals, the hype, the hormone levels, they all exploded throughout the arena.

'Hello, hello, I know it's been a while but baby, I got something that I really wanna let you know' Liam began the song. I couldn't help but remember the last time I've heard them perform this live. It was 2 years ago, in LA, at X factor finale.

The night I found out Harry cheated on me.

'You say to everybody that you hate me, couldn't blame you cause I know I left you all alone' Louis sang his part with his mic playing up at times. The boys descended down from the ramp on stage and sang the chorus together. You could tell there were problems with their mics as all five voices weren't being projected at an equal ratio.

Niall moved towards the brink of the stage and sang his verse. 'Hello, hello, I'm really hoping you'll forgive me, I keep talking, beg-' those were the only words we heard, as his mic turned off. He looked at the boys from across the stage while still trying to sing in his silent mic. The feeling of 'what do we do? And what happen?' was mutual among them five. Niall joined the lads and continued the show. It was now Harry's turn to sing his part.

'I tried, I tried to start again and find somebody' the camera zoomed to his face and the crowd screamed. 'But I remember all the times and all the words we said, yeah I can't get it out of my head, yeah' he sang.

'Now I'm back at-' those were the only words Zayn was able to utter as his mic stuffed up as well. Oh boy Grammys, your gonna have some angry Directioner's rioting after this. Like Niall before, Zayn looked at the lads for help. 'I should've seen it before, You're all I think about, baby' Harry continued Zayn's part. From the looks of it, his mic was the only one working efficiently. The boys all lifted their mics up to their mouth to sing the chorus.

'I was so stupid for letting you go' only one voice was prominent. Harry being in the middle, looked at the other boys as he sang and they gestured for him to continue as they were having some serious technical difficulties. 'But I-I-I know you're still the one' Harry turned to the audience and continued.

'You might have moved on but girl, you should know, that I-I-I know you're still the one' he sang with so much passion as if he was serenading a girl.

'I know it's saying too much. But I will never give up' I couldn't help but feel affected by his words.

'I was so stupid for letting you go' he sang. I shook off any thoughts I had of trying to relate to the song. Sammie, the song was written before you and Harry met. It's not about you, so stop trying to relate with it, I argued with myself.

'But I-I-I know you're still the one' he emphasised each word as if he was trying to send a message.

Harry moved down the extension as he progressed to the bridge of the song. While at the same time, the other boys move to the brink of the stage as technical crews handed them a different set of mics. 'You're still the one' Harry belted out in a long tone. People in the crowd began standing up and applauding his solo performance.

The other lads made their way down the extension to join Harry for the last chorus.''I know it's saying too much' they all sang in perfect pitch. Harry turned around to realise the boys were back. 'But I will never give up' Zayn draped his arm over Harry. 'I was so stupid for letting you go but I-I-I know you're still the one' they ended the song.

Despite the technical difficulties, the crowd still loved them.

After the program ended I had to go backstage for some interviews. The place was crowded with the press trying to get around to different artist. 'Well, thank you for your time' the man smiled as he ended the interview. 'No worries' I smiled back and started to walk off. 'Sammie, Sammie' reporters surrounded. 'I'm sorry I have to go' I tried to get pass them. 'Sammie, Sammie' they didn't give up. Security guards came to my rescue and helped me out of the room.

I held my dress off the ground and power walked towards the elevator before anyone else could ask for an interview. I pressed the button going down and waited for the elevator to arrive. 'Please hurry up, please, please' I pleaded as I looked around the corridors for any sign of the media press.

DING! The elevator finally arrived.The doors opened and my only pleas now was that the elevator doesn't break down....

....and confine us together...

....again.

My gaze met his familiar, piercing green eyes that were now lock on to my eyes. This wasn't his stop, so I guess we were going to share this ride together. I entered the elevator and pressed the floor where the car was park.

Then the doors closed.
