We Thought We Knew (NARRY)

Chapter 13

Harry’s POV

I woke up feeling scared, and nervous. Today was the day of the Toronto Concert, and Niall’s plan. I don’t think I have ever been as nervous for a concert ever. Niall was still sleeping. It looked like he had a rough night. He was all over the place. Normally I would wake up with him wrapped around me. Though today he was kind of just all over the place. I decided not to wake him. I got up out of bed and dressed, I put on the same clothes that I was going to wear for the concert. I put on my “Love is equal” shirt. Some trousers and walked out of the room.

I got out of the bedroom only to see the fact that everyone else was still up. Typical of me to sleep in. It wasn’t even that late though. It was only 8:45. Louis told me to go wake Niall. He said that they wanted to spend the day as a band. I think they were worried about how Niall’s plan was going to end up. I went into the bedroom and woke Niall up. I woke him up so sweetly. I was very proud of myself I rubbed my hand along his cheek and gave him a kiss good morning.

He woke up and told me that he was so ready for today. He actually woke up quite quickly got dressed and came out. I made everyone breakfast. I love to cook. It gets my mind off things as I have to concentrate on cooking. I made everyone some eggs and bacon, with hash browns.

“This is amazing Harry” Niall shouted with a mouthful. Liam giggled. I didn’t take much of it. Oh well. I sat down at the island across from Niall and beside Zayn. I started eating when Louis started talking about what we wanted to do today. He said that we were just going to hang out beside our sound check and stuff. 

Once we all finished eating we still had about another hour until we had to get ready and get going. We decided that we just wanted to hang back and watch some TV. Niall turned on the TV. It automatically came on this news channel. Their top story was actually about us. There was a flash mob going outside the arena. Was pretty cool to watch. Second one I’ve seen as of late. These Canadian fans were something else. They were absolutely amazing. From what I’ve seen they are probably one of the best fans out there.

We decided to all head down to the arena early and sign some autographs outside. We got to the arena and the line-up was to get in for sound check VIP was huge. It was absolutely amazing to see. It kind of puts everything into perspective just how amazing this whole experience is. After signing a few autographs we headed inside to find management. Oh god. What were they going to say this time? I couldn’t bare any more bad news. The news I heard from last time was already bad enough. They didn’t say a word just gave a look towards me and Nialler. I hated their guts. Why do they wanna tell me how to live my life? I mean ITS MY LIFE. Not theirs.

We headed on stage and started warm up and sound check. The last thing we wanted was for something to go wrong. Especially on this night. Where Niall and I had something planned to shut management up. 

Niall’s POV

“If we could only have this time for one more day, if we could only turn back time” Harry sang, “You know I’ll be, your life, your voice your reason to be my love, my heart is breathing for this moment in time, I’ll find the words to say, before you leave me today.” We all sang. I couldn’t help but think how much this song related to me and Harry at the moment. 

I sang my chorus and we ended that song. Thank god it was break time. I pulled Harry aside to talk to him about exactly how we were going to do our plan during the concert.

Louis’ POV

I’m not going to lie. I loved Niall’s plan. It was risky but it was absolutely brilliant. It sticks it to management. I don’t think anybody knows how angry I was when at 5 AM they came and basically said that they can’t be who they wanted to be. I Went into Harry’s dressing room (Not that I was being sneaky) and found 4 more “Love is equal” shirts. I pulled em out. They all had our names on the back of them. I guess he wanted all of us to wear them for the concert tonight. I brought them back out. I got all the guys besides Harry of course he already had his on to put them on. Harry smiled at me; I could see a tear developing in in his eye. “Louis, thank you I forgot about those, those are a part of our plan tonight.” Harry said. “I wanted to thank you guys for supporting me and Niall,” He added. He looked at Niall. “Not here folks,” I said. 

The crowd erupted. Oh. I forgot they were here for the sound check/rehearsal. We got back to singing. We ran through the rest of our set. I couldn’t but feeling, well I don’t know. I really didn’t know how this was going to go. Oh well, there was nothing I could do myself.

Liam’s POV

I’ll be honest. I was worried. I didn’t like this at all. They said there was going to be consequences. Yet we still are going through with this crazy plan of Niall’s? I thought Niall was the care-free person. Not the one who would do these kinds of things? 

I really hope everything turns out alright. I just I love the way things are. I hope that things don’t change. If things were to change. I would probably be quite upset for days. These guys are like my brothers. We’ve grown so close.

Harry’s POV

4:00 PM. Deep breaths Harry. I was so ready for tonight. The boys and I got some McDonalds for dinner. Yes McDonalds. We are teens may I remind you. Everything had to go right tonight. 

5:00 PM An hour until the opening act goes on. I have no idea why everything was so early today. Oh well, the earlier the better I guess. The more time I get with my Nialler.

6:30 PM I started my warm up. And got prepared for what could be one of my best or worst shows. We shall see how this goes. I am ready. I am ready. The whole band got together and just talked for a bit trying to get rid of our nerves.

It’s now 7 o clock. We were up. Here we go. 

Niall’s POV

It was minutes before it was time to go on. I heard a knock on our room door. Sean. Oh my god. This night couldn’t get much better. Sean decided to come out tonight to the concert. Even though it’s half the world away. I wish I could stay and chat with him. Sean was also someone else beside the other Shawn who I told about everything. It was time to go on. The set list had changed for some odd reason tonight. I wasn’t in charge of this but it actually helped Harry and I. A lot actually. Moments was now second last. Only next to what makes you beautiful. Our set list for some reason though for tonight was:
- Everything About you
- Gotta be you
- More than this
- Na Na Na
- I should’ve Kissed you
- Taken
- I wish
- One Thing
- Up All Night
- Moments
- What makes you Beautiful.

We all put on hoodies to hide our “Love is Equal shirts.” As the concert went on, I got more and more nervous. I couldn’t help but to keep looking at Harry. I think he was just taking in the moment. I looked up at the crowd during one of Harry’s solos. This was amazing. Nothing could ever be greater than this whole experience. 

“I wanna stay up all night and do it all with you, up all night like this all night hey, up all night like this all night, up all night.” We all finished up all night. We all paused and looked at each other. I gave them a nod. We all took off our hoodies. You could tell the crowd was excited. We were all standing there in “Love is equal” shirts. 

The background music started to play. This was it. There Liam went off “Shut the door, turn the light off”. Everything was quiet now. As Liam finished up his solo, I looked over to Harry as he started off on his solo. I could tell. He had a tear in his eye. He was tearing up. Oh my god I love him. “If we could only have this life for one more day, if we could only turn back time” He finished. We all sang the chorus. “You know I’ll be, your life, your voice your reason to be my love, my heart is breathing for this moment in time, I’ll find the words to say, before you leave me today.” 

It was my turn. I looked up. “Close the door, Throw the key, don’t wanna be reminded don’t wanna be seen, don’t wanna be without you, my judgement is clouded like tonight’s sky.” I finished. I looked back up at the crowd. I couldn’t imagine. How was this going to happen? “If we could only have this life for one more day, if we could only turn back time” Harry again. I could never get tired of that. “You know I’ll be, your life, your voice your reason to be my love, my heart is breathing for this moment in time, I’ll find the words to say, before you leave me today.” 

Zayn finished his solo. “You know I’ll be, your life, your voice your reason to be my love, my heart is breathing for this moment in time, I’ll find the words to say, before you leave me today.” “You know I’ll be, your life, your voice your reason to be my love, my heart is breathing for this moment in time, I’ll find the words to say, before you leave me today.” This was it. I started walking over toward Harry. While we were singing that final part. Harry grabbed me by the neck. I wrapped my hands around his waist. 

This was it. Harry and I both leaned in. That was it. We’ve done it now. The crowd erupted. I don’t know if they erupted because they liked it, or rather because they hated it. At this point I couldn’t care. I was kissing Harry during a concert. It still felt better than anything else.

Management’s POV

WHAT ARE THEY DOING? I told them specifically that if they did anything out in public that there would be consequences. Did they not think that this counted as public? This was a concert in front of 30,000 people. Like oh my god. This is doing to cost one of them. One of them dearly. I have one more song to come up with something. I am not going to put up with this stuff.

Harry’s POV

“THAT’S WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL” I sang. That was it. The concert was over. That was it. The concert was over. We said thank you to the crowd, headed off. Before we could even get to our dressing room. There was management standing in our way. 

“WHAT WERE YOU GUYS THINKING?” We all looked at each other. We knew that we were in trouble. This was not going to turn out well. “Niall, I’m sorry, but this is a professional business we don’t have time for this kind of non-sense, we’re letting you go.” “WHAT?” Both Niall and I shouted out. THEY COULDN’T DO THAT. I was infuriated to say the least. I couldn’t believe that they would do this. I felt myself tearing up. I couldn’t imagine how Nialler was feeling I walked over to Niall. Gave him a hug. We were both absolutely in tears. “Niall, you have 30 minutes to say good-byes then you need to leave.” Management said. I can’t believe this. Were we being forced to break up basically? I didn’t let Niall go. I kept hugging him. I couldn’t let him go. Not like this. He told me he wanted to say bye to everybody else. 

Niall’s POV

I can’t even talk. I’m too in tears. I knew this was all a bad idea. This was all my fault. I probably forced everyone to do this. Now look, I’m breaking Harry’s heart by being forced to leave. I don’t even know what to say. I was in shock. Harry was hugging me, non-stop. We were both sobbing like little babies. I broke the hug so that I could say goodbye to everybody else. I went over to Zayn & Liam, they both took it hard. I think all of us were taking it hard. We were all so close. I got to Louis. He pulled me aside.

“Don’t worry Niall, I can’t let Harry or you be like this. I have a plan.” Thank you Louis. But Right now I don’t know if I even want to be part of another plan. It has only turned everything ballistic. He insisted though. “Just don’t tell Harry it k? We’re going to make sure that he doesn’t know, we want him to be shocked when this happens.” I agreed. I can’t believe I just agreed to another plan.

I made my way over to Harry. “Harry, I’m so sorry, this is all my fault.” I said. He shook his head. I knew it was my fault. Harry was too nice to say anything though. “I love you Niall, text me, alright?” He said. I agreed. “I love you too Harry” I gave him one last final kiss with such passion and force, I didn’t know though when the next time I was going to see him would be.
