In which Amy starts her own music career and Harryâs really proud.
WARNING: cursing. mentions of suicide, depression and drug addiction. Harry and Amy being cute :,)) Iâm using lily Allenâs ânot fairâ for Amyâs first studio song!! It just reminds me ALOT of her. Enjoy!
Amy was scared. so scared. She wondered what Harryâs supporters would think of her now. How she walked out on Harry just before tour. She couldnât help but feel guilty, she shouldnât of done what she did. Obviously she was going to quit at some point. But she never wanted it to be like that. After that day Harry and Amy didnât talk. They were strangers. Amy hated it. But she was way too stubborn to call or text him. Thatâs one thing they shared in common. Being way too stubborn for their own good.
After posting some covers and original songs on YouTube she decided it was time to decide what she wanted to do. Did she want to travel around the world? Did she want to go to college? Did she want to pursue her music career?
An email decided that for her.
A few months later Amy was signed onto a record label that she adored. The people there were supportive and listened to every song she wrote or sung. They let her record her own music. She had told them immediately about her past with drugs and her depression. They didnât turn her away they helped her. Amy was so grateful to have such a supportive team. She just wished it was with Harry.
After getting her first proper single done she decided to an interview. Zane Lowe has been in touch with her before, but now she was finally ready to tell her story. They did it in her apartment. It was all very calm and zane never pushed her for an Amy was very grateful for.
âYou have a new single coming out in a few days. Tell me about it!â Zane said with a warm smile. She nodded and bit her lip âitâs not a sad one. This is a fun, really fun song. Itâs called not fair. Itâs about sexâ she said smirking and he nodded âhow different is it from your older songs?â He asked.
âUh. Itâs very different. My last couple of songs that Iâve only released on YouTube are really sad songs from really sad times in my life. I wasnât well when I was writing them. I was really depressed and the only way I could express what I was feeling was I was through songsâ she said and paused taking a breathe.
âI was on drugs from 16 to 20â she said and Zayne nodded letting her know itâs ok.
âMy songs were all of my emotions. They were all meâ she said and looked over to the tv. âThey were about times when I nearly killed my self. Where my bipolar was so bad I had quit my job. Something I loved so muchâ she said smiling sadly.
âHow did you over come your depression and addiction. Because itâs an incredible storyâ
âThank you. I appreciate it. I- I was kicked out of my brothers house when I was 20. He had told me to get the fuck out of his house. Jesus did I deserve it. I was so off the wall. I can hardly remember any of it. Thereâs a few moments stuck in my mind. And Iâm embarrassed. Really embarrassed. I remember going for my job interview with Harry. And I fucking looked a mess. But I had got the job. So I decided then and there, that this had to stop. I needed helpâ Amy said and rested her hand on her crossed knee.
âMy depression is still here. She likes to come around December mostly. And sometimes around the time I got sober. But Iâve really gotten better. Sometimes I do just want to stay in bed. Or just have a bit of cocaine. Just a bit. But I never doâ she paused and looked up at zayne âIâm forever grateful for Harry and the band. Because if i didnât get that job, I donât think Iâd be aliveâ she said and straightened herself up.
âItâs really different being by yourself, right?â He asked pushing up his glasses.
âYes and no. Although I miss the guys. A lot. I feel a lot more true to myself and free. Itâs hard being by yourself all the time. But I have my brother, his wife and my little nephew mickeyâ she said smiling thinking about her family.
âTell me about your familyâ he asked and she took a sharp intake.
âWell my mum left when I was really young. I donât blame her at all. She was really fucking depressed. I had blamed her for most of my teen years. But my brother had told me she was depressed only recently. I was hurt. But I stopped blaming her. I just want her to know that I love her. That we couldâve got help. But itâs all in the past. My dad on the other hand, I really donât have the time of day for. He had left after things got too hard. And recently tried to get in contact with me asking for money. I used to really love him. He used to play stevie nicks for us everytime we would play outside or before bed. And be taught me how to play guitar. Iâm grateful for whatever time we had together. But thatâs itâ she said and messed with her skirt.
âMy brother is the bestâ she said laughing âheâs super fucking stupid. But I love him. It was just me and him for a while so he was basically mum, dad and brother for meâ Amy said with a small smile âhe done so much for me. I really donât know where Iâd be without him. His wife is the best and sheâs like the sister I never had. Always helping me and supporting me. Mickey or Micheal. Heâs my little angelâ she giggled.
âHe reminds me so much of me itâs unrealâ she said and played with her hair âhe loves Stevie as much as me and Harry love herâ she said and zayne laughed knowing how much they both love her.
âTell me about Harryâ he smirked and she rolled her eyes with a small smirk.
âI really do love Harry. And really grateful for all heâs done for me. Heâs made so many opportunities for me and I wish I could tell him how thankful I am for him. And the end of the day I wasnât happy and my happiness and self love comes before anything else. Harry and I werenât really on good terms anymore when I left. He had done somethingâs that hurt me. More than anything. But now, all I want to do is talk to him. Apologise for all the shit I caused, ya know?â
He nodded and put a hand over her hand âyour story is remarkable. You should be really proud of yourselfâ he smiled.
âI amâ she nodded ânot fair is one of my favourite songs that Iâve wrote so far. Itâs just so different. I canât wait to get on stageâ she gushed.
Soon enough not fair was released.
âNOT FAIR. OUT NOW. A!â
To say twitter went crazy was an understatement. She was really fucking proud of herself.
She was invited to jingle bell ball. And shit she was scared. She only had relased the song a few days ago. Although she had a few songs already she was nervous no one would know her. Or theyâd be bored.
She wore red bell bottoms with a white heels. Her top was tucked in a bit of cleavage showing. Her hair was messy and so was her makeup. Amy really did want to make a good impression but she didnât want force it, so she was herself.
She nearly cried when she found out Harry was going to be there too. âMickey heâs going to be thereâshe groaned and mickey shook his head âstop being loser Aunty Amyâ he said playing with his toys. She laughed and messed up his hair before heading to back to her spot.
Soon enough she was backstage with her brother and his family. And she had her manager sammy with her too. Sammy was a real life angel. She would be an absolute mess if he wasnât around.
âAre you ready my love?â Sammy asked and she shook her head âno I think I need to check my guitarâ she said and he nodded âok, get everything done. Your guitar is just out of here and upfront. Iâll get your body guards to go with youâ he said letting out a breath. Amy rolled her eyes which were full of eyeliner and mascara. She didnât argue she just followed the men.
She soon came to meet all the backstage workers. She stopped to shake everyoneâs hand on the way introducing themselves and letting them talk to her a few minutes. She loved this part of her work. Getting to meet new people. She loved listening. And she loved talking a lot. But not about herself. She loved to just talk. About anything and everything.
She could see her guitar leaning against some equipment. She squealed and ran over to it like it was a child. The body guards laughed to themselves as they watched her tune up with her band that was playing with her.
She started on cherry wine just her playing and singing to herself. Everyone was mesmerised by her. They didnât crowd her, but they were listening. It was rare to see such a pure artist.
Harry had arrived to the beautiful song. He knew the song well. He played it a few times. Cried and smiled to it. He had watched the interview leaving him sobbing and guilty. She didnât have to apologise he thought. He just wanted to hug her and kiss her.
she finished her song before smiling. And started talking to her band. Harry stayed put helping his own band.
Amy had spotted him. She smiled and decided it was time to grow up.
Harry looked behind him and saw her smiling coming over. She looked beautiful. The most beautiful women ever.
âHarryâ she smiled pulling him into a hug he tensed before he relaxed putting his arms around her.
âhey- hiâ he stuttered before she pulled away.
âLove the new songs h. You really did goodâ she smiled before walking back wards âgood luckâ
She was up first. She was shitting it.
âHeyâ she said into the microphone and the crowd was loud in response. She smiled and started her guitar and started with cherry wine.
Then she did one of her older songs dead to me which was more upbeat. She walked along the the stage singing and dancing.
Her second last song was a cover of Rhiannon which people seem to enjoy.
And then she got to not fair. She walked down the cat walk and smiled at a girl who through up an lgbtq+ flag. Amy winked and pulled the flag around her.
âThis is my last song. Thank you for having me. I love youâ she said and started singing.
âWhen we go up to bed, youâre not good, itâs such a shameâ she said dancing around in her heels.
âItâs not fairâ she sang and pouted.
âAnd I think youâre really meanâ
âI think youâre really meanâ
The crowd screamed as she bowed blowing a kiss before she jogged off stage.
Harry looked at her and smiled.
