SAVE ME CHAPTER 10
Harry's P.O.V
I let Esmerelda, our house keeper, in and apologized for the mess. I climbed the staircase to sit in Cassie's room and wait for her to get out of the shower.
A familiar melody drifted from under the door.
"mama told me not to waste my life she said spread your wings my little butterfly. Don't let what they say keep you up at night and if they give you shhh.. Then They can walk on by. My feet feet can't touch the ground and I can't hear a sound but you just keep on running off your mouth"
That was all I needed to hear I went and got Perrie. Along the way the others wound up joining us. We entered the room and sat on the bed and I motioned for them to stay quiet.
"I'm firing up on the runway I know we're gonna get there someday but we don't need no ready, steady go, no. Talk talk turns Into air but I'm to fly to care oh yeahh,"
"oh my god! This I ridiculous! I have to show the girls! They are in LA as well!" Perrie squealed pulling out her phone.
"Shhhhh!" we all hissed afraid she heard us. " your words don't mean a thing I'm not listening keep talking all I know is mama told me not to waste my life she said spread your wings my little butterfly don't let what they say keep you up at night cause they can't contain you these wings we made to fly, and we don't let no body bring us down, no matter what you say it won't hurt me, don't matter if I fall from the sky, these wings were made to fly." Cassie finished and turned off the shower. They all rushed out of her room and I casually laid back on the bed. She emerged from the bathroom in a towel.
" hey," she said blushing.
" I love your outfit." I said looking her up and down Hungrily. She raced to retrieve her clothes suddenly conscious of her emancipated body in nothing but a towel. "we're gonna have to fatten you up!" I joked handing her the shirt she dropped. She retreated into the bathroom as I gathered my clothes and readied myself to go in. I sat on the chair in my boxers waiting for her to be finished. She walked out in a pair of black solo sweats and my Rolling Stones shirt.
"Looking hot Haz." she said sitting at the vanity and brushing her hair out.
" thanks kitten." I kissed her forehead as I walked into the bathroom to shower.
" Harry.. Louis says to hurry up because you all have to leave for sound check in a bit."
" ok Cass make sure your ready too. Your coming with us also." I said stepping into the steaming hot shower and letting the water rush over my body.
" oh awesome!!"She yelled to me.
Cassie's P.O.V
I walked down stairs to join everyone at breakfast. They said for soundcheck to dress extra comfortable and casual. Basically in my ears that meant bum it out. Luckily when I entered the kitchen everyone had had the same idea as me.
" good morning." I said grabbing a plate and piling pancakes, strawberries and a cinnamon roll onto it and plopping myself at the table. " hey Cass nice voice!" Perrie said stoping eating to look at me. "
what are you talking about?" I asked her confused.
"we heard you singing in the shower." Eleanor piped in.
" awesome.. Yeah great.. Very impressive.. Such a big voice for a Tiny girl." They all talked at me at once. I turned bright red and just as I was about to change the subject Harry came scampering down the stairs. He sat next to me and I could feel the heat radiating off of his body. I scotched my chair over closer to him and wound up sitting on his chair with him snuggled into his lap.
" awwwww!!" The girls exclaimed.
"what he's hot." I said laughing.
Everyone laughed " he just got out of the shower,he's still giving off heat. Oh but yeah he's hot the other way too." They all laughed harder.
"Harry don't you have something you wanna talk about with her?" Zayn asked being responsible as he always was.. When He wasn't disappearing.
" oh yeah. Right.." Harry said scratching his head.
" well Cassie your new to all of this." He began turning his chair so he was facing me, Our knees resting against each others. " ok so you know how when the boys started dating their girlfriends, they got and still get a lot of hate?"
"yeah, I know. What are you getting at?" I asked him unsure of what the point of this was.
" Cassie I'm just worried that if we made ourselves public, the media would kill you. They would have so much ammunition. Your four years younger than me, our relationship isn't legal. You have no family and basically just popped out of nowhere. I'm just worried. And the fans! Oh the fans can be vicious! They are amazing and all but wow can they be horrific to our girlfriends. Especially if they were just a fan before we started Dating them." Harry's eyes were begging me to understand. " plus... We haven't exactly told management about you yet." He said running his hand through his hair.
I think that seems to be his nervous habit. Id like to run my hands through his luscious curls. His gorgeous hair, his dazzling green eyes, his god like.. Snap out of it Cassie this is important.
"Management is going to have a field day!" Niall said around a mouthful of food.
"I Totally understand Harry." I said. It was true I really do understand. " I like the idea of having time to settle first before things get crazy again."
Harry looked so relieved that i understood where he was coming from. I was part of the fandom, I knew how vicious jealous girls could be. " it's completely cool." I said to Harry as he engulfed me in a giant bear hug.
Just then Paul knocked on the door.
"time to go kids." We all piled into his van. I was given the rundown. Basically, I couldn't tell anyone I was Dating Harry, like there was anyone for me to tell anyway. We had to remain separate in public places, I Wouldn't be able to go everywhere with them, and I couldn't draw the medias attention. There were going to be times were we would have to go places separately, but they would never keep us apart in hotels or anything like that. I would be able to tour with them, but red carpet events were a no.
"wow that's a lot of rules." I said nervously and everyone laughed.
" don't worry baby doll." Perrie said to me.
" we're gonna be here helping you. Worst comes to worse we can just say your one of me and El's friends. A cousin even." I had started to feel a little bit better. We pulled into the parking lot. It was packed with fans. I was amazed.
"wow there right I know nothing." I thought to myself as I watched the boys and their girlfriends exit the car. I had to stay back with the driver and go in the back, in secret. "hey maybe this could be kind of fun." I thought to myself. As if the driver read my mind he said, "hey kid, make this fun for yourself. Your dating Harry Styles. Enjoy it. You may not be able to be public right now, but just think of yourself as some sort of undercover agent. I'm going to be seeing a lot of you. My name is Willis by the way."
"hi Willis, I'm Cassie. It's nice to meet you." I said shaking his hand.
Paul ran down and told me to hurry. The area was clear of fans but it wouldn't be for much longer.
Harry's P.O.V
I ran through the crowd behind Paul. We stopped occasionally to sign autographs because we loved our fans. I felt horrible. Cassie seemed to be good with the whole not public thing, but then it was said that we would have to stay apart from each other in public places. It was a weird feeling knowing I couldn't have a hold on her every second of the day. Almost like something would be missing. It made me nervous not having her with me right now. I found her at a concert and who's to say I won't loose her at one too.
I walked.. Let me correct that I errr ran, to the back entrance and waited. She came around the corner like a spy, summersaulting across the floor and pressing herself against the wall. She hasn't seen me yet so I did the same rolling towards her. When she turned around to check her back I covered her eyes and mouth with my hands. I muffled her scream and I whispered that it was just me. She turned around and punched me in the shoulder yelling at me for scaring her like that.
I took her hand and started walking to the stage with her. I wanted the entire crew to meet her so there would be no confusion when she was just walking around. Wouldn't want her getting thrown out.
They all became aquatinted with her and just like at home, she fit in with out a hitch. The rest of Little Mix had arrived. Cassie noticed them and instantly started freaking out.
"ohmygod! Ohmygod!! It's Little Mix I lovee them!" She squealed and jumped up and down.
" Cassie Cassie breathe, they are just people just like me and the boys." I said patting her head and fixing her hair.
"oh right sorry I'm new at this. I've never met anyone famous before." She looked at me sheepishly.
"you live with 5 famous guys and their 2 famous girlfriends.."I said laughing.
" oh you know what I mean! Lets go meet them!" She started pulling me to them.
" get used to it babe. Your gonna be seeing a lot of them and meeting a lot of other famous people as well." I said following her.
" as of right now I will pretend you didn't say that so I don't freak out."
"everyone this is Cassie." I said introducing her. Cassie just stared at the girls a bit starstruck.
We all laughed and they introduced themselves. Cassie sat with them as we were called to start the check.
" Cassie!" I called to her from stage. "wanna help me? Do you want to experience what it's like to be up on stage like this?"
" oooo yay! Suree!" She said running to me and jumping up onto the stage. I watched as Perrie walked over to the sound control.
" I wonder what she is up to." I thought to myself.
I handed the microphone to Cassie and told her to stand center stage. She already placed herself there as if she knew what she was doing. I told her to talk into the microphone to make sure it was working. Just as she was opening her mouth to talk, music started playing. I was confused at first because it was 'wings' but it sounded different. Then I realized it was the recording from this morning. Cassie's voice started blaring out of the speakers.
" Girls Listen to this!" Perrie yelled to the rest of get band.
The Cassie did something that shocked me.. She opened her mouth and..
Cassie's P.O.V
" sing you idiot!" I thought to myself. As I heard the recording blaring out of the speakers. You have done this before just Do it now. You will be singing for 2 of Britain's Biggest bands. Little Mix and One Direction. I opened my mouth and accepted the words flowing out of it, like a long lost friend. When I finished all I heard was silence followed by both bands, the crew, and everyone else in the arena cheering. I handed a dumbfounded Harry the mic and hopped off the stage.
Perrie rushed over to me screaming
"I told you! I Told you she was amazing!" All the girls rushed me and all started yelling and hugging me.
" oh my god that was amazing. Your so good! Are you serious! Where have you been! That's crazy such a big voice for a little girl!" I just blushed and accepted the complements.
"God that felt good." I thought to myself.
"what was that!" Harry asked running over and pulled me aside. He was excited, confused, and amazed all at once. The way he was looking at me is the way every girl deserves to be looked at. With pure adoration and love.
" I used to perform. A reallllllyyy long time ago before my mom died."
" I can tell! You were great!"
" thanks" I said blushing to the shade of an overripe tomato.
" boys! Time to get ready!" The stage manager called to us. We all piled into their dressing room. It was large but not large enough for this many people. We all took turns changing and getting ready. I was excited for tonight.
Lou said she would do my hair when the boys went to get started and set for the show. She wanted to get to know me better. She seems really nice. Her daughter is adorable! Lux! Ughh I just want to eat her up! I am her unofficial babysitter and Lou started calling me Aunt Cassie to her. God people move fast here, but it just felt so right. This was the life I was meant to live. The boys joked and fooled around. I heard the roar of the crowd begin to fill the stadium.
" what if he finds someone else... He pulled me out of the crowd what's stopping him from finding someone else." As if he read my mind or I spoke out loud he approached me. He knelt down in front of my chair making me feel like a child ( oh wait technically still am wow that's weird).
" Cassie darling. I just want you to know, no matter how many girls I see none compare to you. You are mine and I yours. You have nothing to worry about your beauty outshines theirs like the sun outshines the moon."
I blushed and giggled, nodding my head.
" good luck." I watched as he raced from the dressing room and the 30 second countdown started. Lou told me to watch the beginning of the show and she would get me we she was ready.
I walked to the wings and watched silently and the boys started their set joking and trying I mess each other up. Harry got panced, Niall seemed to defy gravity, Louis screamed about Kevin. I laughed and cheered with the rest of the crowd.
"so everyone, I have a new kitten at home. She was a rescue. Found her two nights ago. She is the most adorable thing I have ever seen and I love her very dearly. Her name is Kitten and this whole concert is for her tonight." Harry said to the crowd as they roared and he looked back and winked at me. It took me a moment to realize that I was "kitten"
I blushed and Lou came and got me. She did my hair as we Watched the boys on the monitor in their dressing room. Lou told me all about herself and was very interested in me. She thought me an Harry were a great couple and offered to be my mother figure whenever I need one: I was very grateful and we instantly became close. I had no problem accepting her as my mother. I officially had a family, and a boyfriend too! Not bad for an orphan. I relaxed with Lou and Lux as the boys finished their set. The way they interacted with the crowd was amazing. I was so proud to be a part of their life. Now comes the hard part: settling Down and starting a new school. I have to go to the state of California plead my case, and get emancipated form my fathers care. This was it. I was moving on to bigger and better things. I always knew I would. I have giant plans for myself .
