"Harry, your mic." Luke the manager told me.

"Thanks." I gladly accepted it.

"Look Niall, there's Demi." Louis nudged Niall's arm.

"Let's call her here!" I nodded mischievously.

"Oh c'mon fellas I d--" He tried to protest.

"Demi!" I waved at her. Ops, too late.

"Hi boys." She greeted all of us looking extremely beautiful as she was about to walk on stage for one more episode of The X Factor. "I haven't seen you in a while."

"We've been pretty busy love." Louis explained.

"Oh I know, you're making a movie isn't it?" She asked eagerly.

"How do you know?" Our eyes widened. The movie thing was still a secret to everyone.

"Simon." She rolled her eyes. Obviously.

"Oh right." Zayn nodded. "Maybe you could be in it."

"Me? I'd be flattered but why exactly?"

"All the important people to us will appear and say a few words." Liam placed a hand around Niall's shoulders giving her a hint.

"You want me to say how cute and funny you all are?" She giggled with her hands on her hips.

"I think you just have to say what you think about us, right Niall?" I turned to him faking confusion.

"Yeah something like that." He smiled at her sweetly. I swear he could have any girl with his cute moves and Demi is no exception by the way she giggles and pays attention to everything he says even when it's the most random thing.

"Well boys I've to go now, good luck with your performance." She waved walking away.

"Oh Nialler don't blush otherwise she'll notice." Louis pointed at the irish red cheeks.

"I'm not blushing!" He patted Louis' hand away.

"Sure." We all said in unison.

"Hello boyz!" Danielle appeared from behind us looking super excited.

"I thought you were still getting dressed." Liam pecked at her Liam completely in awe.

"Yeah I'm not completely dressed, or do you think I'm going on stage with only some shorts and a bra on?" She mentioned her clothes.

"I wouldn't mind but that would be on a private show." He winked caressing her nose with his.

"Guys please we're in public. Behave." Louis acted like the older one for once warning the little couple. Dani was only with her bra and Liam looked extremely excited, that could be taken in the wrong way from outside.

"Sorry." She smiled apologetically. "See ya." She disappeared.

Danielle was invited by management to come with us and be one of the dancers for our performance here in the US version of The X Factor and of course she gladly accepted it.

"Boys you'll be up in five." Some guy with earphone came to inform us.

We all nodded in understanding and positioned ourselves right behind the doors in the middle of the stage.
As we heard our video come up we knew we'd only have a few seconds until the door open and we appear live.

"One Direction" The memorable voice announced followed by frantic screams from the entire studio.

The door cracked open and the tune came up. I prepared my voice and started the first verses.

One way or another I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna get you, get you, get you, get you
One way or another I'm gonna win you
I'm gonna get you, get you, get you, get you

The audience was completely ecstatic which is a plus for us, it gives us that special taste while performing.
We wandered from one side to another, singing from the top of our lungs.
I bent down a bit some I could touch some of the girls' hands. Some of them were slightly crushing my fingers but it didn't matter.

When we reached the second chorus we all went to the judges tables and sang to them. Of course no one got near Demi waiting for Niall to do the move which he did. Me and Zayn exchanged a look of acknowledgement.

"One way or another." I finished panting.

"Very good boys! One Direction everybody." Mario Lopez and Khloe came up on stage.

"Thank you." We waved.

"So boys how is it to be back in America?" Mario asked us.

"By now we're kind of used to it already and it's really good, we love our american fans." Zayn took the lead driving the audience crazy with his last sentence.

"What about the screaming, are you used to it too?"

"I guess you can never get used to the screaming as much as you try I mean everywhere we go everyone is just so loud that it overwhelms us every time." Louis replied.

"Do you think this girls will ever stop screaming for you?" Khloe advanced with the next question that I decided to answer.

"We really hope not cause we know they do it to show their love and affection to us and that's something we really appreciate."

"Okay thank you boys. We'll have yo on stage again soon tonight." Mario gave us the cue to leave the stage.

We touched a few more random hands before leaving backstage.

"I need water." Niall brought his hand to his chest.

"Demi has that much effect on you?" I joked.

"Music does!" He glared at me. But he was just so cute no one can really get intimidated by him.

We all went to our dressing room, sitting on the couch waiting for our next time to perform but meanwhile we turned on the tv and watched the show.
It was already in the middle of the next act with a really bumping music that we could hear on our room.

"That dancer is hot." Zayn pointed to a blonde girl that flashed the stage wearing a body that really fit her as well as her smile from ear to ear. She was really beautiful.

"Is she friends with Danielle?" I asked Liam.

"I don't know, I've never seen her before." He shrugged. I turned to the tv again as her face showed up a few more times.

"Man she's really hot." Niall made some weird american accent making us all laugh.

After the show we we were ready to leave when someone knocked on the door and Danielle peeked in.

"Hi guys can I just ask yo a favor?"

"Yeas Danielle we will lend you Liam for the night." Louis winked at her.

"I would anyways." She poked her tongue at him. "But that's no it. The dancers from the show asked if they could have a picture with you."

"Sure." Liam nodded.

The five of us exited the room and followed Danielle to another dressing room where a few girls dressed like her were in.

"Hey girls I brought you something." Dani mentioned towards us.

"Hi." We said in unison. From that pointed it went all quick hugs and cheek kisses with all the girls.

"I'm Leah." Some brunette introduced her.

"Harry." I shook her hand politely.

"Paige." Another brunette hugged me slightly.

"Harry." I smiled at her.

"Hi I'm Zoey." The girl from the tv came next.



"Hello, Harry." He exchanged a quick polite hug.

We all gathered on the white wall and took the picture, Zoey right next to me and Zayn on the other side.

"Are going anywhere tonight?" Some of the girls asked.

"Yes we just haven't decide where." I said.

"Well come with us, we're all crushing at a club nearby we always go to after the shows."

"Yeah why not?" Me and the boys shrugged.

From the minute we left The X Factor studios to the moment we entered the club it was only a matter of minutes.
We were immediately directed to the VIP section where the five of us, Danielle and some of the dancers came along.

"I will get us some drinks." I said ready to have fun. I guess I deserved to after a great night and also because when the clock hits midnight it will be February 1st which is a synonym to my birthday.

"I'll go with you." Some american accent came from the blonde girl from earlier.

"Sure." I nodded.

"So are you enjoying America?" She tried to make a conversation while we waited for our shots.

"Of course, I always do whenever I come here." I tried to say above the loud music.

"Good, I'm glad." Se smiled cutely. There's no way I can deny she's really beautiful.

"I've never seen you on the x factor before, are you new?" I asked actually curious.

"Yeah I came to perform with Bridgit Mendler once and they asked me to stay and be a part of the crew."

"You must be a really good dancer then." I grabbed some shots as Zoey did the same.

"Haven't you seen it?" Se chuckled.

"Yeah I did." I nodded

"So?"

"You're a great dancer." I confirmed. Zoey grinned larger at my statement as we walked to the others again.

"It's been a while since I last saw you flirting Styles." Louis came to sit by my side with a smirk.

"I'm not flirting!" I defended myself.

"You may not be flirting but Zoey here definitely is." He stated raising his eyebrows.

"So? We're young, flirting is allowed isn't it?"

"Of course, what I'm trying to say is flirt away." He winked. I debated on his sentence for a while before turning to Zoey again.

"Hey, do you wanna dance." I asked Zoey who looked at me amused.

"Sure." She held my hand so we wouldn't loose each other in this crowed place and head to the dance food right when Swedish House Mafia's tune came though the speakers driving the crowd wild.

The music also had an effect on me and Zoey as we started moving to the rhythm.
I' not gonna lie, her body is amazing, she's small but still fit with curves in all the right places, big blue shining eyes, blonde wavy hair till her boobs and full pinky lips. She looked absolutely amazing.
I was definitely attracted to her but it seemed like a familiar at action, as I had met her already.

"Did we ever cross paths?" I leaned in to her ear.

"What do you mean?" She tilted her head amused.

"I mean have we ever met each other before? Like on the studios or something…"

"Humm no, not that I'm aware of. I'm new there, I told you already."

"Yeah it's just…" She looked at me curious. "Never mind." I shook my head

We kept dancing with each other till I lost count of the songs that passed, enjoying each others company as our bodies danced together till I heard my name from far.

"Harry, it's almost midnight!" Niall waved calling us back to them.

"Come." I said to Zoey leading her back to where we came.

"One minute Haz." Niall said. "Till midnight."

"Oh." I nodded. "Already?"

"You've been *cough* pretty distracted *cough* in the last couple of hours." Louis tried to disguise.

"I was dancing." I smirked.

"Of course you were." He blinked jokingly.

"MIDNIGHT!!" Niall jumped on me without a warning.

"Argh Niall stop eating so much you weight like a ton!" I tried pushing him away.

"Happy birthday pumpkin." Louis hugged me tightly. "I love you."

"I love you too man." I said sincerely.

"Happy birthday curly!" Zayn hugged me too followed by every friend that came with us tonight.

"Thanks for being here with me guys, you're like brothers to me, I couldn't be happier with the family I have now." I expressed as I tied my boys i a hug group.

"So it's your birthday huh?" Zoey locked her arm with mine.

"I guess so." I smiled cockily.

"Hey are you doing something to celebrate tomorrow?"

"It is tomorrow."

"You know what I mean." She rolled her eyes still laughing.

"I have a dinner with my closest friends, something more intimate you know?" I tried to explain.

"And after that?"

"Ehm I don't know. Why?"

"Maybe I could pay you a drink and uh celebrate your birthday." She played with her fingers shyly.

I haven't in a date for so long that I guess I was not used to it already which is weird coming from me actually.
So maybe I should accept.


"Yeah why n--" I was interrupted by my phone buzzing in my pocked informing me someone mentioned me on twitter.

I opened it quickly and almost dropped the phone by reading the name.


@MiaCortês Happy birthday, hope you have a nice one. xx


It took me a while to realize I was not dreaming and Mia was actually wishing me happy birthday. I may fell a bit dizzy from the alcohol but my vision is still okay.
Why would she wish me happy birthday? Last time we spoke she made it pretty clear she doesn't want anything to do with me and I doubt it changed.
I was just so confused right now, I don't know what I'm supposed to think.

"So?" Zoey brought me back to reality again. "Do we meet tomorrow?"

"Ehm you know what maybe the dinner will end up late and I don't want to leave you waiting... Another time maybe?" I tried to smile.

"Y-yeah sure." She knew I was not contacting her again.

Notes

Okay everyone, please welcome Zoey Clark to the story!! Finally.. ;))
If you're australian or watch some australian television you'll probably recognize her from there. Anyways, in my personal opinion she's one of the most beautiful and sweet girls.
Buuuuut, as Zoey Clark she will be know as trouble!!
Ta-da!!


What do you all think of her?? ;)

Just as a hint, before you all think of killing me and get disappointed because a new girl that he finds attractive entered Harry's life and there's less chances of him and Mia getting back together look at the title of this chapter and remember how Harry always thought that Zoey looks familiar... That's all I can say..

Keep voting loves..
