Chapter 7
                          
Eventually Harry came up with the name 'One Direction'. They all came to Simon's house and showed him what they could do. He was impressed and they started the live shows a week later.
                          
From that moment on something changed in Harry. I could see it. The audience went crazy when they heard the name 'One Direction'. I sat in the audience every Friday night with Anne, Dess and Gemma.
                          
I loved seeing them perform. Their voices matched really well together. Harry and Liam were mostly the lead singers. Every week the gorupof screaming girls grew. Outside they went crazy when they even saw a glimpse of them. It felt kind of weird actually...
                          
It was the half finale. They sang really well, but the competition was amazing too. There were just three candidates left including One Direction. I nervously played with my fingers when the presenter was reading the cards with the results.
                          
"The first candidate is.....Matt!" The audience applauded and Matt left the stage.
                          
"The second candidate is.....Rebecca!!"
                          
My smile fell. Of course I was happy for Rebecca and Matt but I really hoped Harry and the boys were going through. They deserved it so much. The presenter talked to them about their time on the x-factor.
                          
"We're definitely gonna stay together. This isn't the last of One Direction." I heard Zayn saying.
                          
I smiled a little. I knew he was right. This wasn't the end of One Direction. I could feel it.
                          
After the show Harry came up to me. I gave him a big hug. "You guys were incredible." I whispered. "Thanks Emms." He smiled at me and we all walked out.
I said goodbye to the rest of the boys and Anne drove me home.
                          
Turned out Zayn couldn't have been more right. This was not the end for One Direction. They became bigger and bigger, all around the world. They even recorded their own song. It's called 'What makes you beautiful' it was an immense success so they decided to make an album. Harry didn't had that much time for me after that. Our little ritual on Friday night was over. He had lots of meet and greets and shows and he was always with the boys writing and recording new songs.

"I'm really sorry Emms, I promise I'll make it up to you okay? It's just crazy right now you know? Suddenly all this attention and recording and stuff. But maybe we can hang out next week?" Harry asked over the phone. "It's fine, I get it. Just let me know when you have time." I said and hung up. I took a deep breath and grabbed my laptop.
                          
"Emily! Can you come down please?" I heard my mum saying. I closed my laptop and walked downstairs. My mum and Rick were sitting at the table. Rick practically lived here now and I didn't like it at all.
                          
"Sweetie can you sit down please. We've got some exciting news." My mum said. "Omg you guys are getting married!" I said shocked and kind of horrified. "Well no, but you know Rick is half-Dutch right. And half of his family lives in The Netherlands."
                          
"Yeah so?"
                          
"So Rick got an amazing job offer in Holland. He really has to take it. It's an amazing opportunity." My mum said. "Oh so you're moving back to Holland? Well good for you Rick." I padded his knee, stood up and walked towards the door.
                          
"No honey we're gonna be going with him." I paralyzed for a moment. I felt my heart sink to my feet and a lump forming in my throat. I slowly turned around to face my mum and Rick again.
                          
"Ex...Excuse me?" I stuttered.
                          
"Sweetheart you're gonna love it there! I've already seen some pictures and the house is amazing! You'll get your own bathroom!" My mum said excited. "I don't want my own bathroom! I don't want to move to Holland! I want to stay here in England! All my friends are here. I can't leave Sarah and Harry and..." "Sweetie you'll make new friends there. And let's face it Harry doesn't have time for you anymore anyway. I mean look at him. He's recording songs and doing interviews. Maybe he's even going on tour. He's gonna have tons of girls running after him, it's just a matter of time before he will break your friendship. I think it's better if you forget about that boy."
                          
"No! He isn't like that! You don't know him like I do. He would never do that to me!" I felt tears in my eyes. My mum sighed. "Honey I understand this is hard for you but trust me in time you'll get used to living there, I promise."
                          
"No! I will not, I repeat NOT move to Holland!!" I yelled.
                          
My mother stood up. "That's not your decision to make! You're 15 years old, you're coming with us to Holland whether you like it or not. We already bought the house."
                          
I balled my fists. "I can't believe you! You just met this guy a couple of months ago. You aren't even married or anything and we have to move because he found a new job! That's so unfair! I hate you both!" I yelled and stormed to my room.
                          
I slammed the door close and fell on my bed. The only thing I could do was cry.
I couldn't believe it. Holland wasn't that far away, it was a two-hour flight I heard, but still... Now I was sure I would lose Harry. And what about Sarah? Or school?
                          
Ugh I just couldn't believe my mum would actually do this to me. Tears were still streaming down my face while I felt my eyes getting heavy and  I slowly fell asleep.
