Chapter 30

I feel like there are a lot of breaks (♥♥♥♥♥) in this chapter, but it's longer than usual, so Enjoy!

I'm failing miserably as we play a two-on-two game of footie later that afternoon, a couple hours after our meeting with our new management. 

I'm on a team with Harry, unfortunately. Niall plays with Liam, and Zayn sits on the sideline attempting to be the referee. In reality, he's typing away on his phone while occasionally looking up. 

I'm snapped out of my thoughts as the ball gets passed to me, and I kick it down the field, attempting to shoot it into the net. Of course, like everything else today, I fail. 

I groan, flopping myself so I'm laying on my back on the grass. I hear laughter from around me, then a body fall on top of me. My eyes crack open and see a dimpled smile above me. He hasn't been able to stop smiling since Savannah told us we could be free. 

Don't get me wrong, I am over the moon about it, so excited for whats to come in our future. I'm just scared. I've always wanted this to happen, and there is no one else I would want it to happen with. I am not going to stay hiding when I have the chance to be heard. I may be scared, but nothing will ever come in the way of my love again. 

"What's wrong?" He whispers when I don't say anything. I shake my head, giving him a small smile. "Just thinking." I wrap my arms around his middle and he snuggles his face into the crook of my neck. 

"About what?" I hear his question, muffled from his hiding place. I don't respond for a few moments as I bring a hand up to slowly move through his hair. It's getting longer, and he looks better each day. 

"I'm just scared, I guess." I end up whispering into his ear. Slowly, he moves away from my neck so his face is only inches from mine, and he still lays atop my chest. 

"Would you be upset if I said me too?" He asks softly, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. I sigh, shaking my head. "I have no doubts about it Haz, I'm just nervously see how everyone reacts. But I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you." I tell him, a smile growing on my face as the words exit my mouth. 

He smiles, pressing a chaste kiss onto my mouth. "Are you done yet? Or is the game over." We hear Niall call. I glance over at the three of them who are seated in the grass, watching us with a smile.

The lads reactions made me even happier than I would've been without them. They're so happy for us because they know  the pain firsthand  that we've been through. They've all been  there to help in the hard times, and have been there to celebrate with us,, and encourage us to be together. I'm extremely thankful for them, and love them all so much.

"Games over," Harry yells back, "I think we should get back to the hotel." He says to everyone, lifting himself from my body. I whine from the loss of contact, but he just  giggles, pulling me up. 

I hear Zayn and Liam agree, and Niall is preoccupied with his phone to hear us. I march over to where he's seated, and snatch the phone from his hands.

"Louis!" He yells, reaching his hands out as an attempt to take his phone back. I don't look at the screen, instead I shut off the phone and plop down in the grass beside him, pulling Harry down beside me so now we all sit in a small circle, 

"It's time you tell us about her, Niall." I say with a stern voice, while the other lads snicker as Niall's face grows red. "Tell what about who?" He tries to be oblivious.

"C'mon Nialler, please?" Liam asks from his spot across from Niall. Niall's face tints pink again as he sighs, moving the hair out of his eyes. 

"I'm seeing someone. We still haven't made it 'official' official, but I want to ask her soon. We've been on a few dates, and I really like her." He concludes.
