New Year's Eve
Stephanie's POV

I finish off my make up and I second glance at my reflection, I'm quite happy with the final touch. I've gone heavier with the foundation tonight as I want it to last for as long as possible, I don't want to be topping it up as I can't miss thing from the boys.

Speaking of them they are still out doing the final rehearsal. Louis has finally got the jist of things and the others are practically professionals now. I think Harry's nervous because he hardly slept at all last night. I lost count how many times he kept turning over back and forth. I too couldn't sleep as I felt so sick with being nervous for him.

But the day has finally arrived and as Chloe, Lucy and I get ready; the boys are getting more nervous as the minutes pass. I'm quite glad they are with Mark and not here, I don't think I could handle five stressed lads.
Our families should be arriving soon to their hotel, it will be nice meeting up with them later.

"Does this dress look okay as I've brought three with me?" Chloe asks as she walks into the bathroom. I smile as I admire her dark purple laced dress that falls just above the knee. Her hair is up neatly tucked away and her make up is flawless.

"Chloe, you look beautiful." I say and she bites her lip as she looks at herself in the mirror. "Really, you do." I add.

"Okay, thanks." She smiles as she compliments my outfit. I don't often wear many dresses, so for tonight I'm wearing my white sleeveless lace jumpsuit dress with belted rompers chiffon shorts. Lucy curled my hair and I have to say curls with dark hair just looks so lovely and soft. As Chloe leaves the bathroom Lucy walks in and whistles.

"Check you out" She grins as she looks at me. "Love the jumpsuit." She smiles. I instantly envy her casual skinny jeans with a white boob tubed top that flares out at the bottom. She's added a gold belt, something I would have never have thought of.

"You look very..elegant" I say smiling and Lucy smirks as she grabs a tissue and presses her lips down on it.

"Thanks Hun." She says as she goes to leave she looks at me. "You coming?" She asks and I nod.

"Just need the loo and I'll be straight out." I say and she closes the door after her. I lock the door and I grab my hand bag.

Harry's POV

I watch as the guys practise moving around during the songs. Louis has learnt everything so fast and I think it looks better with the five of us. I watch Niall as he stands there and just concentrates on the song, he did say it's more nervous now it's happening but he seems to be okay with going through with this.

Mark has helped me with some guidance and has gave us tips so we actually look like a proper band. It feels weird that I actually do feel like this is our band for real.

"You need a name boys, to be introduced on stage." Mark says as the song ends and I look at him in horror. Shit, I've not even thought of a band name.

"What about Last Minute? Seeing as this is all last minute.." Louis says sarcastically and I roll my eyes at him.

"That's quite good actually.." Niall laughs looking at Louis, who is now smirking smugly.

"I have no idea.." Zayn says as he folds his arms.

"Not too sure I like that one" Louis says and Zayn shakes his head looking at him.

"No, I really have no idea Louis.." Zayn says and Louis looks at him and nods. I start to think but only existing names come to mind. Even Mark is trying to think.

"One Creation?" Liam asks and I look at him and I shake my head.

"One dimension!" Zayn says proudly and I still don't think it's quite right.

"One illusion." Niall says and I'm getting the hint they want it to be something beginning with One.

"One Night Only." Louis says and they all immediately cheer and even Mark looks impressed. I know this name is probably the best we've had yet, suddenly something springs up in my mind.

"One Direction?" I ask and they all turn to me. Louis' eyes widen and they all begin to speak at once. From what I can pick up, they seem to like my suggestion too.

"One Direction, is the name." Mark says and the others agree.

"And for one night only, one direction." Niall impersonates the voice from the XFactor.

"I like what you did there." Louis smirks to Niall who's now smirking. We all laugh and agree it does sound quite good when being introduced. Thank god that's sorted.

"Right boys, we've got three hours until you're on and one hour until this thing starts." Mark says as he looks at his watch. "Run home, get last minute things and head straight back down to the dressing room. You remember where everything is don't you?" Mark asks and we all nod. "Good, let's do this boys!" He grins and our energy suddenly becomes alive.

Stephanie's POV

I grab my hand bag and coat as we get ready to leave. The boys have been getting ready for the past forty minutes and two eight seated taxis have just turned up outside.
I can feel my legs trembling with a mixture of nerves and excitement. I check in my bag that I've got my tickets and the card that Harry has given me for VIP access.

"Come on everyone." Zayn calls as he and Chloe head out to the taxi. Lucy walks out with Liam and I can't help but smile at them. She's been drawn to him the most and I think he's pretty happy with her company too.

"You ready?"Harry asks me and I nod. He smiles as he looks around and shouts for Louis to hurry up. Niall walks towards us with Louis behind him and I shut the door behind them.

"You excited?" I ask and Harry looks at me and tries not to smile as he nods.

"Bloody nervous but it will be okay once it's over." Harry says as he takes my hand as we walk towards the taxi.


Hyde park is already heaving with happy and curious people. The lights and layout looks amazing; it sort of feels like these boys are actually a famous band arriving at this venue.
I'm hypnotised by the flickering lights that surround the stage, it looks beautiful. Dozen of fairylights glisten in the trees, who ever has set this up has a wonderful creativeness about them. It's all looking very magical.

"Shit my hands are shaking." Niall Says as he looks at the crowd of people. I look to him as Zayn and Harry try to calm him.

"Harry." I whisper and he looks at me. "I've brought our London Eye tickets for after the show." I say and he smiles.

"Okay, we can go back to the party at ours after?" Harry suggests and I nod. He looks away as the taxi comes to a stop. He has no idea why I've brought them tonight, no idea at all.

Harry's POV

I've never had anyone apply make up to me before, it's really weird how we are sat in dressing rooms getting pampered. My skin looks odd. It's never clear or spotless so I'm really not used to this at all.
The girls wait in the seating room where there's a TV showing off everything thats airing in the park. I hope Stephanie is going to like the songs we've chosen, most of them are about how she makes me feel. Some words have been changed as the other guys have put their own mark on it.

So many thoughts are spiralling around in my head, I never would have imagined me doing something like this. I thought any guys who were in a boyband was lame and clearly have no pride. Instead I've learnt many guys or gielse who happen to be in groups are just expressing through words. I never thought I could tell anyone how I felt until Stephanie. I've wrote several songs and it happens to be my job too.

"Can you look up for me?" The young girl asks as she waves a make up brush infront of me. I frown as I usually see Stephanie doing this, surely I shouldn't be having some powder being pressed on to my nose.

"Guys the band have arrived." Mark says and I greet the guys that we have been working with by waving to their reflections in the mirror. They were supposed to be playing with the other band, so even they've had to help making and learning music. It's a miracle we have all managed to pull this off.

"I also have something to say." Mark says as we all turn to face him, he smiles as he looks individually at us.

"Not going to get emotional are you?" Louis teases him and Mark smirks.

"No, I wanted to thank you. Some of the biggest agents are attending tonight as well as the media. This whole thing would have flopped if you boys didn't agree to help me." Mark says and everyone smiles. He looks to me. "You've been a pleasure to work with Harry and I honour how much work and effort you have put into this. So here." He lightly throws an envelope at me. I open it see eight flight tickets.

"Mark..." I say in shock as I hold them in my hand.

"Ryan contacted all of your friend's families to get all of your guys names and passport details. Including the girls too." Mark adds and I can't believe where this is going. "I've hired you a five bedroom villa in Portugal for two weeks. You all leave tomorrow."

The room suddenly is full with shocked voices and questions. I can't believe it and check the tickets and every name is on it. I look up as he hands me another envelope but this time he hand us one each.

"The flight is in the evening so you'll have time to pack. And there's your spending money each so you have your own." Mark adds and we all get up and run towards Mark. We exchange one massive hug and I've never felt so proud and appreciated in all my life. After we thank Mark, Liam decides to speak.

"Tonight we are One Direction and we are going to smash this." We all cheer and I can't help but laugh at the hyped energy in the room.

Stephanie's POV

I don't bother trying to watch TV as I'm too occupied with the girls as they go on excitedly about the event. Chloe suddenly mentions about a New Years kiss and Lucy smiles at the mention of Liam.

"I quite like him." Lucy admits and I nod as she didn't even have to say that. "Who knows, I may get a cheeky kiss." She adds. We suddenly stop as the door opens and in walk the boys. Liam says that we can go to the bar until they are called on, so we all follow him.

As I walk with Harry, he stops me with the biggest smile on his face. He holds up tickets and waves them in my face, before I can ask what they are he already starts to speak.

"All of us, including Chloe and Lucy are going to a villa in Portugal tomorrow!" Harry says excitedly and my eyes widen with shock. I continue to listen that Mark has booked it and supplied everyone with spending money as a thank you. I can't believe that my Dad knew about this as he helped, Harry's words make me feel quite emotional.

"That's madness Harry, but I think I should ask-" I stop as Lucy and Chloe run over to me as they've obviously just been told too. Harry looks at me and winks as he walks towards the bar leaving me with two over excited girls.

---

Harry's POV

I have had quite a few drinks with the guys as I think it handles my nerves a little. It's scary thinking my family who have never heard me sing, are about to hear me for the first time. I just pray that no one will forget the words and we will be okay.
I glance at the TV in the corner and the last show has just finished. I hear the crowd cheer loudly and I try not to let it scare me anymore than it already has.

"Okay guys, do you want to walk with me? You're on in five minutes." The girl with the headset on says as she starts to walk off. I quickly kiss Stephanie as she goes to the other side of the stage with the girls where my family are. They've got a special area where they are a couple of feet away from us.

"Fuck.." Zayn says as he smiles nervously. I put my hand on his shoulder and squeeze gently in reassurance.

"Right, let's remember to have fun and just go with the flow guys. Don't look into the crowd look over them and just enjoy it whilst it lasts. It will all be over before you know it." Mark says and I nod as the others listen.

"I don't know about this. Look at all those people just waiting, for us!" Louis says as he looks at the crowd. "I can see my Mum." He sighs and I don't bother to look.

"We've done this many times so we will all be fine. Stick together." I say as even I can't settle at my words.

This is it, as I hear the guy on stage slowly building up to our introduction, I look down at the floor. This is us, One Direction.

---

Stephanie's POV

I cheer loudly as the boys walk on to the stage. Seeing them stood there as a group makes me feel strange, it's as if they are meant to do this. I smile as Liam introduces them and quickly goes into the first song.

"This song is called Night Changes." I wait nervously as the music begins and Zayn's voice beautifully starts and I'm stunned as I watch and listen to him. Next is Liam and he's brilliant just as I had expected him to be.
Then my heart nearly stops as the beautiful voice starts to sing, Harry looks ahead and focuses directly on the lyrics. I glance to Anne who is wiping her eyes proudly at her son. I smile as I look back to Harry.

Louis' and Niall's part follows and I'm really shocked at how well they all sound. Why haven't they done this before? Everyone is loving them and the girls are bound to take an interest.

It feels as if the song is over too quickly as Zayn says the title of the next song which is called Stockholm Syndrome. I love this song equally as much as the first one. The way I can feel every emotion that they are singing is exceptionally beautiful. I'm so proud of all of them, even more so of Harry's wonderful brain for these gorgeous lyrics.

---

Harry's POV

I nervously step forward as I introduce the next song which is called Act my age. It's a bit of a silly and fun song that we thought could help get the crowd going. Much to our surprise they are already dancing and cheering at us. I can see Stephanie but I try not to look in their direction as I don't want to get distracted. As the music starts I quickly focus on the lyrics.
I've only just noticed that Mark had put the lyrics on the stage behind us, that's how the crowd know the chorus and are singing along. This is the weirdest moment of my life.

Three songs down already and we've only used ten minutes. We've got ten minutes left so Liam introduces the song called Fools gold. This one is one I wrote when I was in a sad place without Stephanie, but Niall and Louis changed some of the lyrics and improved it even more so it's now one of my favourite songs I've Co written.

All the guys sound great from what I can hear, but the band is so loud it's hard to get an accurate hearing compared to the crowd.
I start to feel emotional as I sing and I see from the corner of my eyes Liam looking at me smiling. I while back and look to the crowd and then up to the sky. I close my eyes as I lose myself into the words.

---

Stephanie's POV

I don't think I've ever cried as many happy tears before than I have tonight. I listen as Niall talks and thanks everyone for their acceptance and he mentions the next song title called Steal my girl.
I love the sound as soon as it starts and we all start dancing. I'm glad this is more of a fun one as the last song really picked at my heart strings.
I can't take my eyes off Harry, I don't think he understands how casually good he looks. I bet he's nervous but typical Harry doesn't show it as much as say I would.
I smile as I think about how that beautiful guy is mine, I'm going to be living with him soon and hopefully spending the rest of my life with him.

"How amazing are they?" Chloe shouts over them and I look at her. "I wasn't expecting this!" She laughs and I look back at them as they finish. Harry looks at them as I know they are only supposed to do four songs but they've got time left.They quickly nod to eachother as Harry starts to thank the crowd.

"You've been a wonderful crowd tonight and thank you for having us. We wish you all the best for two thousand and fifteen." Harry says and nods to the band. "This is eighteen." He adds and my heart nearly stops as I recognise the music straight away.
Not only is Anne bawling her eyes out at her Son's captivating voice, I am too.

The lyrics just bring everything out in me and I let my mind take me down memory lane. Every bad and good thing we have been through, every heart ache and every argument we've ever had, we've still managed to get through it and somehow get brought bask together.

Harry styles is beyond amazing. He's still got his faults just as much as I have but I know we are learning the more time we spend together. He's my comfort, the one who keeps me safe and the one I can only love one hundred percent.

I try to stop getting myself so emotionally attached to the song as it's coming to its end and I don't want to be some crying mess that Harry has to cheer up. So I make my way through the crowd and I wipe my eyes as I get nearer to the stage. I quickly spot the guys who are exchanging a group hug, I wait as Harry thanks them all before I dive in and throw my arms around him.

"Did you like-" I stop him as I kiss him and quickly let go.

"You need to come with me." I say as I pull him away from the others and he laughs as he asks where we are going.

Harry's POV

It feels like Dé ja vu as we approach the London Eye. Steph hands our tickets in and we step on. I go to put my arms around her but she takes my hands and holds them infront of her. She sighs as she takes a deep breath.

"I love you so much and tonight I couldn't have been anymore proud of you if I tried. I love your voice, your lyrics, your heart and your soul."She stops as she becomes a little teary eyed.

"Steph.." I say and she shakes her head.

"I'm sorry I quickly whisked you away but I had to do this. I couldn't wait any longer." She says as she looks down and I start to feel slightly worried."Our memory of this wheel isn't great so I wanted to change that. I wanted a good memory of us."She adds and I smile as it's so sweet of her to think like that.

"I love you." I smile and she does too as she looks at me.

"There's something I need to tell you, to make sure you think this will be a good memory too." She says as she looks worried, I feel butterflies appearing.

"What's going on?" I ask and she dives into her bag and she hands me a box. I slowly open it and she bites her lip. I take out a Pregnancy test and she shines the light from her phone on to it. I look at two lines and glance at her.

"I'm pregnant." Her voice trembles and my eyes widen in shock. I look back at the test and then back to her.

"You're pregnant, as in we are having a baby?" I ask and she nods at my stupid question. "Oh my god, are you okay about it?" I ask and she slowly nods but looks quite stressed.

"I'm fine but it's how you feel. With your experience with Naomi, I wasn't sure how you'd take this." Steph says and she adds she's done two other tests.

"This is different, I love you and yes this is probably a little too early for us, but I'm happy. I'm shocked but happy." I laugh nervously and I put my arms around her.

"Thank god!" Steph laughs as she throws her arms around my neck. I gently pull away and look at her.

"I'm going to be a Dad.." I say and even the words make me feel quite shaky and nervous, I feel completely thrilled. Steph nods with a shy smile and I can't help but smile back, this may not be the best timing for us but it's the best thing that could happen to me and Steph. I love this girl more than anything and I'm proud to say, She belongs to me.
