Real

*Harry's Pov*
"We will find our way, through the dark." I sing into the microphone. The crowd screams as we run off stage.

"That was a great show!" Ari congratulates us, as we reach the backstage area.

"Thanks love!" Louis takes an over dramatic bow and Ari claps for him enthusiastically.

"I'm glad you liked it." I step forward and go to hug Ari, but awkwardly stop. We don't hate each other any more, but I don't think we're that close yet.

She smiles and nods her head. "It was amazing." I don't know how to explain it, but we just kind of stare at each other for a few seconds. Not awkwardly, but like we're just taking it all in. If that makes sense.

Liam breaks the silence. "We should probably go meet the people who have backstage passes." He suggests.

Zayn, Louis, and Niall agree and They leave . But before I follow them I decide to ask Ari something.

"Ari?" I ask hesitantly, not sure how to word this.

"Yes Harry?" She looks somewhat confused by my hesitancy

"Um, did you umm" I start but am interrupted by Niall.

"Harry come one!" He waves his hand signaling me to come.

"We can talk later." Ari says nicely and smiles.

I nod my head. "Ok." And follow Niall, leaving her.


> Ari's Pov <<br>


I watch Harry follow Niall to meet some fans. I wonder what he needed to say. I shrug it off and decide to go find something to eat.

A few minutes later I find a room with a half sized fridge. I open it. There isn't much in it, just a few water bottles and a bag of something. I grab a water bottle and close the fridge.

I find a chair a few feet away and sit down in it. I open the water bottle and take a big gulp. The cold water slides down my throat. It's really refreshing. But I'm still kind of hungry.

I get up and walk around until I find a vending machine. I finally find one and pull a crumpled dollar bill out of my pocket. I insert it into the machine and press the button that drops a bag if Doritos.

I grab them and open the bag. I pull out a chip and pop it into my mouth. A voice behind me speaks up.

"Howdoes that taste?" I turn around to see Harry smiling.

"It's delicious." I say, putting another chip in my mouth and licking my lips.

We both chuckle as he steps forward. He reaches to grab a chip. I pull the bag away from him and slap his hand lightly.

"These are my chips." I pout, teasingly.

He makes a pouty face. "I just want one."

I shake my head. "Buy your own." I point to the vending machine.

He makesthe same pouty face. "I don't have money"

Before I can respond he snatches the bag of chips and takes off running in the opposite direction.

"Harry Edward Styles!!! You get back here right now!!!" I yell and run after him. I can hear him laughing as I chase him.

"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!" he shouts at the top of his lungs as he turns a corner

I'm quite a ways behind him so I turn the corner a few seconds later. But Harry is standing there and I didn't notice until it's too late. I turn the corner and crash right into him, knocking us both down. He falls on his back and I fall on top of him.

After the initial shock of the fall Harry starts laughing his head off. His laughter is contagious and soon I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe. I roll off of him, so I'm lying on my back next to him.

We probably look like idiots lying on the floor laughing, but right now I don't really care. Harry reaches over and hands me the bag of chips. I take it, but realize that its empty.

I crumpleit up and throw it at his chest. "You ate them all!" I exclaim.

"I know. They were delicious!" He licks his lips.


We both start laughing really hard again. After a few more minutes he finally stands up. He reaches his hand out and I take it.

"Let me help you up." He says doing just that.

"How chivalrous of you." I mock and stick my tongue out.

He pretends to look hurt, but his facial expression is so ridiculous it sends me into another fit of laughter. Causing him to laugh again too.

We eventually calm down enough to walk down the hall to find the others.

Harry reaches for my hand, but pulls away at the last second. I Look up to see why he pulled it away. He just looks away.
