The Exchange.

~~~ a month later Hayden's POV~~~

"you Comming bae!" Harry yells from the living room of me and els flat.

I nervously fidget with my dress in the mirror frowning as I reach for the slightly paled pink crutches. I've got the fealing an movement back in them but my left one was pretty messed up. I can't stand on it very well, so until we find out the problem I'm stuck on these things.

ive been back In London for a month now, and may I say things are so much better. My parents have left me alone and me the lads and girls are closer then Ever. Harry stops by almost every day to check up on me and don't get me wrong it's sweat an all but I don't wanna be a burden like that.

me and harry are a thing, and I'm loving every second. He found out about my anerexia and cutting sadly...but he makes sure to help me. So far I've eaten three meals a day and I'm able to keep them down, I also haven't cut since a week after they brought me home from the hospital. I'm proud of myself for being strong but even more thankfulf or the amazing friends I've made that have helped me through this.

"YEAH! One sec!" I shout adjusting myself once more befor giving up and sying. My outfit and crutches didn't go well together...



I slowly inch my way down the hall way to the top of the steps to lock eyes with the curly haird green eyed boy I've come to like so much. He flashed me a dimpled smile before coming up the stairs and helping me down.

"u look amazing as usual" he said pecking my lips." I flashed him a smile earning awes from the girls as we entered.

the lads led me and the girls out to the range rovers waiting for us out front. There's no saying I miss my car, but I toteld it the day of my accident.

the ride was silent, we were all in our own little conversations. Me and Liam about decorating my crutches, niall and louis arguing over who was sassier, and zayn was silently cursing as the girls bombarded him with jokes on dressing him up as a woman for a day and naming him Veronica.

i silently giggled as zayn groaned a bit shooting me a glare for laughing.

" OH CMON ZAYNY! Instead of growing a pair why not grow some boobs and be a lady!" Perry yelled earning laughs from everyone as zayn flashed a death glare at us. I shook my head looking to harry catching his emerald eyes as he glanced at me from the rear view mirror as he drove.

we pulled into a driveway just as everyone's laughs from torturing zayn subsided. We were going to a performance for el tonight at the university, she was doing a model tidbit.

As we all pilled out el hugged us all

"wish me luck!" She cheered as she grabbed louis hand and rushed the opposite direction. Harry quickly found my hand interlocking our fingers pecking my lips.

"so u really think zayn would make a pretty lady?" He said giggling makeing sure zayn heard. I laughed shaking my head and patted Zayn's shoulder.

"do t worry man. Ud make a AMAZAYNE woman!" He laughed and him and perrie walked ahead. Harry quickly released my hand so I could hold my crutches as we walked, keeping his hand on the small of my back.

when we entered the large hall i was entranced at the beauty. It was a large room with marble walls and red velvet curtains draped in such a way they looked like ribbons. A long black stage centered in the middle was surrounded by seats with name cards. My eyes wandered to the flashing colorful lights that danced on the walls as loud music pumped through the area.

harry gently nudged my back leading me to a row of seats with our names on them. Slowly I sat down extending my leg a bit so it wouldn't hurt. Harry noticed and quickly reacted.

"are u ok love? Do u need anything?"

"No harry..I'm fine really...thanku." I said giving him a small smile. He nodded and set next to me draping his arm over my shoulder.

quickly the lights shut off and the few flood lights focused on the center of the walk way.

"lady's and gentleman! THNKU for com into the annual UNI arts show! The students u see tonight are current students studying there talents, and are getting a chance to share those talents with all of us tonight! We start with singing, then instramental arts, art, then fashion for our finally!" Everyone clapped and cheered. I clapped a bit but felt a little sad that I couldn't attend in this. I lost my chance to be apart of this....

~~~Harry's POV~~~

i noticed as haydens face turned sad as the announcer spoke of singing and music. From the moment I met Hayden I could tell she truly loved what she did. I couldn't help but feel a bit guilty for her losing her chance in this university...if only I'd been a little more less of a fuck up she'd be backstage getting ready to perform...I really want to hear her sing...I've only ever seen her drawing...

hours past and we were down to els turn. Louis clapped and stood as his girlfriend strudded down the walk way in this



Then returned in two different dresses. Hayden cheered loudly from her seat with the girls but I could tell she was down. This past month I've truly grown to no her better.

as soon as the show was over we made our way to the back to congradulate el. The girls immediatly swarmed her leaving me and the lads in the back to wait.

"U DID GREAT OMG!" they all squeeled. Me and the lads chuckled.

quickly breaking apart me and the guys each hugged and congradulate el before it got down to louis who pulled her into a heated make out sesh making us all fake gag.

"oh shut it! U no u love to watch!" Louis yelled with a wink before reattaching his lips to hers. I shook my head and made my way to wear Hayden once was to find an empty spot...were did she go?

~~~Hayden's POV~~~

mr. Hill lead me to a quieter area were it was easier to talk.

"miss smith! U missed ur audition last month?" I nodded sadly letting out a sigh.

"I'm sorry mister hill...I had family trouble and my parents are refusing to let me attend...I also got in a car accident..." I said ushering to my canes. His eyes softened.

"I'm so sorry dear! Well....I'd like to say Eleanor brought ur work in...she wanted me to see what I was missing...I looked at it and it was great! I. Willing to make a deal if ur up for it?" I scrunched my eyebrows together in thought...he was giving me a second chance?

i nodded for him to continue.

"well...being it that ur 18th birthday is in a week...how's about u audition musically tonight...and I'll pass you through art since I have ur drawings already, and u start uni a week after ur birthday?" My eyes shot open in excitement.

"SERIOUSLY!" I squeeled happily. He let out a deep chuckle and nodded.

"I have high hopes for a girl like u! Of course!" I was so happy and I instantly looked for the others. I couldn't see them so I continued my conversation with mister hill.

"SOO...I just sing tonight and if u like it..I'm through?" He nodded with a grin.

"I'll go announce for everyone to be seated and u go talk to Marcus over there on ur song choice." My smile grew wider and I couldn't help but hug him. He stumbled back in shock before relaxing and hugging back.

"you have no clue what this meens to me" I said pulling away he chuckled once more before loading on the stage.

i felt a buzz in my pocket and saw a text from harry.

harry -

hey bae, were did u go!?

to harry -

sorry i I was talking to a friend...I have a surprise for u guys so...just give me a second. Stay in the building, I'll meet us at our seats. :) ;)

harry -

ok....?

I smiled excitedly and nervously. I've never sang infront of anyone so it would be nerve racking..but this is my dream so like marry used to say...follow ur dreams and let no one nock u down.

i quickly walked over to a tall tan figure, his head was shaved and he wore some black and green headphones on, his head bobbed o what ever music he listened to as he moved the turn tables infront of him.

i slowly tapped his shoulder making him quickly jump and remove the headphones to look at me.

"yes?" I gave him a small smile.

"ummm...mister hill said he'd inform u I was choosing a song to perform to..." I swallowed a lump in my throat nervously. His eyes wandered me for a minute before he nodded pulling a folder out and handed it to me.

"pick a song then let me no...u got 5 minutes chica!" I chuckled at the nickname.

after a few minutes of scanning the song book I settled on let it go by Demi lavato.. I still haven't seen the movie but I love the song, I no the notes and lyrics by heart.

i handed the book to the man pointing to the song. He chuckled a bit and nodded.

i quickly went over to the stage giving mister hill a thumbs up. He nodded turning to the crowd of conversing people.

"excuse me! May I have ur attention!" He spoke sternly trough the mic.

everones eyes were on him immediatly.

" If u will please have ur seat we have a surprise performance!" Everyone shared confused glances and returned to there seats. I saw a comfused group of my friends sit down whispering to eachother. Harry's eyes were shooting around the room looking for me probably. I swallowed a nervous lump in my throat , fixing my outfit once again.


mr.hill finished his speach and walked off the stage leaving the crowed talking amongst eachother curiously as to see who was performing.

mister hill signalled another lady over who jumped on stage setting up a mic at a key board they'd placed out for me. I decided to show mister hill I also played..As soon as she was off mister hill gave me another smile

"the best of luck dear!" And disappeared. The lights dimmed and I walked on stage. No one could see me yet and i was nervouse as shit.

i slowly turned to marcus nodding for him to start the song.

as as soon as the music started my fingers worked to the rythm on the piano. Each word fell melodically as if it were my own. The lights brightend on me but I was to lost in the song to care. As soon as I opened my eyes to my favorite part I glanced to my friends who sat wyed eyed starring at me. I smiled closing my eyes once more finishing the song.

as soon as I finished my eyes fluttered open once more. The room was silent and all eyes were on me. I felt a little hurt thinking maybe I did bad until everyone was on there feet clapping and cheering. Mr.hill jumped on stage wrapping a arm around me waving his hand for everyone to shush.

"wow! I have one thing to say...this university well probably be training the next female singer to become famous." He cheered rubbing my shoulder.

the words settled in my brain...he's letting me in full scholarship...I MADE IT! I turned to him hugging him accidentally dropping my crutches. when I let go I stumbled a bit only to be caught by harry in a gut crushing hug. Mr. Hill handed me my crutches congradulating me one last time before leaving me and the lads to celebrate on stage.

" HOLY SHIT HAYDEN! Ur an Awsome singer!!!" El screamed hugging me. I smiled hugging her tight. Everyone hugged me and congradulated me. Next up was harry. He hugged me tight before pressing a soft kiss to my lips.

"uhhhh u need to stop being so damn amAzzing!!!" He said with a cheeky grin. I leaned back a bit smiling and poked one of his dimples.

"and u need to stop being so damn cute!" He grinned again befor kissing my lips.

"WELL I THINK THESE TO LADYS DESERVE A CELEBRATION!" Louis said hugging me and el. We both giggled and followed the lads out...things are really turning up.. I thought with a smile.
