Rachel's P.O.V.

When we had finished breakfast I decided it was time to talk to Harry.

"Hey Harry. Can we talk?" I whispered, trying to avoid everyone knowing.

"Of course" he nodded.

I lead him to my bunk for a bit of privacy.

"So Rach. What's up?" he asked, looking confused yet worried.

I wasn't really sure where to start. I decided it would be easier to just ask him instead of beating around the bush.

"What do you think of Desirae?" I asked.

His cheeks turned a pale pink colour.

"She's nice, pretty, funny. Why?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at me.

"No reason. You like her so?" I asked back.

He nodded.

"Like her in a girlfriend kinda way?" I teased, poking him.

His blush deepened.

"I don't know Rach, why are you suddenly asking all this?" he continued.

I shrugged a little.

"You've been acting weird since you met her. You normally don't get flustered over girls" I explained.

He nodded.

"I guess I do like her a bit.. But she's Niall's sister" he shrugged as if that was the end of the discussion.

"So?"

"Well Niall's one of my best friends. I mean, I wouldn't be happy if he started dating you now, would I?" he told me.

"Well Harry, maybe Niall's not as over-protective as you" I argued back, folding my arms.

He grinned slightly.

"You'd be surprised" he told me.

I giggled at him.

Maybe he was right. Maybe Niall was protective but he was nowhere near as protective as Harry.

There was no doubt in my mind.

Once I was done talking to Harry, I got washed and ready for the day.

Well as ready as you can get when your on a bus.

We'd be going to a hotel this evening and the boys would be performing their first concert of the tour tomorrow night.

I got dressed in a pair of Jack Wills shorts, one of my t-shirts and a pair of Vans.

I took one of Harry's hoodies to wear as well.

Once I was dressed I decided to play my guitar.

I sat on the top bunk, tuning it for a few minutes and then breaking into Through the Dark.

It was definitely my favourite of the new One Directions.



Oh I will carry you over, fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark

I wish that I could take you to the stars
I'd never let you fall and break your heart
And if you wanna cry or fall apart
I'll be there to hold you

You tell me that you heard it's all in vain
But I can see your heart can love again
And I remember you laughing
So let's just laugh again

But don't burn out
Even if you scream and shout
It will come back to you

Back to you

Oh I will carry you over, fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark

And you don't need
You don't need to worry
And you will see it's easy to love
I know you wanna be loved

Oh I will carry you over, fire and water for your love

Oh I will carry you over, fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark

Oh I will carry you over, fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down
We will find a way through the dark


I finished and was surprised when I heard a clap.

I looked up to see Louis.

"Wow. You sing it better than we do" He chuckled slightly.

I grinned.

"Thanks" I replied.

Within a minute he was up on the bunk beside me.

"Harry mentioned you're very musical" he told me.

I shrugged.

"I guess.." I mumbled.

"Don't sell yourself short. He's really proud of you, you know. Its a wonder he didn't introduce you to us sooner. Then again he was probably just worried we were gonna hit on you" he shrugged.

"I wouldn't really blame ya. I'm gorgeous" I joked, fluttering my eyelashes.

He laughed, rolling his eyes.

"You know, I'm starting to see similarities between you and Harry" he said, once he had stopped laughing.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking amused suddenly.

"Rachel?"

"Yes?"

"Why are you wearing my hoodie?" he asked.

My eyes widened slightly.

"What?" I was confused. I had found this hoodie in Harry's bag.

"I leant that to Harrys couple of weeks ago" he told me, smirking.

"Sorry Louis, I'll take it off, I thought it was Harrys" I replied quickly, tugging at the sleeve, which was awful difficult considering my guitar was still on my lap. Louis stopped me however.

"Don't. It looks good on you" he chuckled, winking.

I felt my cheeks heat up a little but I grinned widely.

"Tell me something I don't already know" I winked back.
