Please Be Careful With My Heart

Samantha's POV:

I sat in front of my mirror staring at the my stained reflection. I don't know how long I've been sitting here. Maybe hours.

I heard Anna talking behind me. 'Remember if she walks you walk, if she sits you sit, if she runs you run. When I'm now with her, don't ever leave her alone! And lastly don't ever ever...ever let him near her, don't let him touch her, don't let him talk to her, hell don't even let him breath the same air as her. Got the Memo?' Anna dictated my bodyguards.

'Okay, now go wait outside' he instructed them.

She walked back towards me and I kept my eyes set on the distraught girl on the reflection. 'Sammie, I'm not in the position to tell you what to do or how to feel...because I can't imagine what your going through right now. But even if I can't find the right words to comfort you, know that I'll always be here for you' she empathised and tears began to roll down my cheeks.

'Sweetie, I know you just wanna run away from all the pain and troubles but the world hasn't stop and we have to move along with it. George and Josh need you tonight' she continued. I wiped away my soaked cheeks and took in a few breath. She was right my boys needed me tonight more than ever, I can't let them down now. 'So come on, I've picked this dress for you' she showed me. I giggled 'It's a bit too sexy' I observed the dress. 'Whyyy guurl, you deserve to be the sexiest bitch out there' she commented and I laughed.

-

'Damnn, you look hawt' Demi checked out my dress as we stood backstage waiting for the show to begin. 'You look beautiful Sammie' Britney softy smiled. 'Thanks guys' I flashed a smile. Soon George, Josh and the 5th harmony girls started to approach us. 'Good luck girls' I gave each one of them a hug before moving closer to Josh and George.

'We heard what happened' Josh informed me. 'Are you okay?' George spoke softly. I took a deep breath. 'I'll be fine boys don't worry about me. This is your night, you make the most out of it' I managed to expose a smile. They both took me in for a hug. While wrapped in between them, there was a state of commotion coming from behind me.

'Look, I just wanna talk to her' Harry insisted trying to get pass my bodyguards. 'We're really sorry, we can't let that happened' both man trying to block him. 'Come on please, let me through, Sammie' he persisted, pushing himself on to the bodyguards. 'Mr. Styles we're not letting you through' one of the man stated with annoyance. 'Harry, come on, let it go' Zayn tried to pull him back, the other lads were also there urging Harry to back off.

'Alright everyone, in position' the stage manager announced. 'May the best team win' Simon grinned at me as he put out his hand. I shook it and said 'See you at playground' at which he chuckled. 'Let's rock and roll' LA smirked.

Harry's POV:

'Haz, what were you thinking?' Louis placed his hands behind his neck. 'I just, I just want to talk to her' I spoke wearily. 'Mate, maybe just give her some space' Zayn placed an arm on my shoulder.

'Boys, your up next' a crew informed us. 'Come on, let's hope this performance will make you feel a bit better' Liam mentioned.

When we got to the stage, screams and squeals filled the arena, but I didn't let it distract me from searching for the only pair of hazel eyes I yearned for.

I found her angelic face staring at ground, her hair shimmered from the ray of light that shone upon her head. But yet the angel that sat under the beam, was an angel with broken wings. THE devil caused her so much grief that she was left stunned...immobilised...paralysed. The devil was me.

Music started to play and Liam began to sing from our platform. 'Hello, hello, I know it’s been a while but baby I got something that I really want to let you know, yeah'. She was watching our performance, but avoided to meet my gaze.

Samantha's POV:

When the music started to play, I turned to look at Demi. 'This wasn't the song they practice' I creased my face out of confusion. Demi shrugged in respond. Louis continued the song 'You say, you say to everybody that you hate him. Couldn't blame you ‘cause I know he left you all alone, yeah'.

There was something different about the way they sang the song. I've heard the song before and the lyrics were not the same.

They were changing the 'I' to a 'He'.

The boys came down from their platform and stood near our table. 'He was so stupid for letting you go. But ay-ya-ya-ya know you’re still the on' four hands pointed a finger softly to me. 'You might have moved on but girl, you should know, that ay-ya-ya-ya know you’re still the oneee.I know it’s saying too much but he will never give up..' I tried to control my breathing pace as it felt like someone was sucking the air out of my body. Demi placed her hand on my knee and flashed me a smile.

I looked back on stage and it was Niall singing 'Hello, hello, his really hoping you’ll forgive him, he keeps talking, begging, tell him what you want to hear, yeah. Girl, just tell him what you want to hear' each word struck me hard as he kept his blue eyes fixed on me as he expressed each word sincerely.

'You're still the oneeeee' Harry belted it out, which forced me to finally make eye contact with him. The crowd went crazy for him and I could see in the corner of my eye Simon, Demi, Britney and LA all had smiles stretched all the way up to the moon.

The lads ran up to the table before turning to the right to move towards the extended platform which was behind were we stood. As Harry ran last to the table, he tapped the table in front of me, leaving something behind.

I leaned forward and it was a single red petal.

The colour and shape of it was similar to the rose that he gave me on our first date in Barbados. As I took it, I saw Britney, Demi, Simon and LA all looked at me, I met their gaze with a blank expression.

The boys came back to the centre of the stage to conclude the song. 'He was so stupid for letting you go, but ay-ya-ya-ya know you’re still the one' putting an emphasise on the 'YOU'RE'.

Harry's POV:

'You alright man?' Niall asked when we got off stage. 'Yeah, think so' I mumbled. But honestly I don't think I'll ever be okay, until Sammie is able to forgive me. 'Come on let's get a drink' Zayn led the way to the lounge.

The lounge was packed with people gathered around the TV which broadcasted the show.

'Alright everyone, we've heard 5th harmony and Josh Cuthbert perform a duet with their choice of artist. Now would you please give it up for George Shelley with the lovely Samantha Robertson' Mario announced.

They entered from opposite direction. George began the song 'You look so dumb right now, standing outside my house. Trying to apologize..'

When Sammie started to sing the crowd started to cheer 'Don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not, baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught'.

Her words left me breathless, unable to grasp the damaged I've done to her.

'But you put on quite a show, really had me going...that was quite a show very entertaining' I felt like she was dedicating the song to me, as all the words pointed towards me.

'But it's over no, go on and take a bow' George jumped in.

'Grab your clothes and get gone. You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on' George continued.

'Talking' bout' Girl, I love you, you're the one, this just looks like a re-run. Please, what else is on' She sang with eyes close as she held the mic with both hands.

Oh, And the award for the best liar goes to you, for making me believe that you could be faithful to me let's hear your speech, ohh' she belted out and the crowds cheered her on.

You could her the pain in her broken yet angelic voice.

'But it's over now, go on and take a bow' George and Sammie concluded in unison. The pair got a standing ovation from the judges and the crowd.

'Thank you Samantha and George, that was a powerful performance. Don't go anywhere folks, the X factor 2013 winner will be announced after the commercial' Khloe announced.

-

'Alright, this is the moment we've been waiting for' Mario peered into the envelope. 'Your X factor for 2013 is...' Khloe got everyone anticipated.

'George Shelley!' They both yelled. The rest of the contestants ran on stage.

'Congratulations George! Take a Bow!'Mario exclaimed.

Samantha's POV:

'George congratulations!' I ran up to him after the show. 'Thankss Sammie, thanks for everything!' he locked me in a bear hug. 'See you at the party?' he asked optimistically. 'Um George, I'm gonna go and get an early night in. I'm sorry' I softly explained. 'Ohh, no that's okay' he responded with a smile. 'But will catch up soon' I assured him

I went to look for Josh to congratulate him for coming in 3rd then headed off to leave.

Harry's POV:

'Ooi lads, we ready to bounce for the after party?' Niall asked. 'Yeah, I'll just meet you at the car' I informed then.

I saw George surrounded by two girls, we made eye contact and I thought it was only right to congratulate him.

'Congrats mate' I shook his hand. 'Thanks Harry, by the way this is my girlfriend Lauren and this is Rhyle, Josh's girlfriend' he responded.

All along I doubted Sammie of having a relationship with George or Josh... and now I find out they've both got girls already. IDIOT!

'Well, nice to meet you ladies, but I've gotta go' I hurried to leave.

'Harry' George called out and I turned to face him.

'The exit doors. She's heading towards there....hurry man' he informed me as if he could read my mind. 'Thanks' I smiled.

-

'Sammie wait, Sammie' I tried catching up to her. She turned around and so did her two bodyguards who now stood blocking my way. 'I just need to talk to her' I tried to break through. 'We can't let that happen' one of the man putting his arms out.

'Tom, it's alright, let him through' Sammie instructed her bodyguard.

As I slowly approached her, tears started to roll down from her eyes. I hated my self for what I did to her, even my own presence hurt her. 'Sammie' I carefully approached her.

'Harry, please. I'm tired of arguing' she softly spoke. 'I still love you' I proclaimed to her as I took her hands.

She moved in closer and slowly wrapped her arms around my neck. I was surprised. But I didn't hesitate to wrap my arms around her.

'What you did really hurt me Harry' she whispered as she buried her head in my neck.

'I can't think properly when your always there...... I need you to give me some space..... Please, just please' she snivelled. I closed my eyes and felt tears start to fall from my eyes.

I pulled away and saw her stained face. I laid my right hand on her cheek, 'I'm going to give you some space Sammie. But I'm not going to be too far away. I'm never gonna let you go', I placed a delicate kiss on her other cheek.

Pulling away from her was excruciating.
