Alexis' POV

The blonde one.. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED THE BLONDE ONE.

Harry's POV

Niall finally leaves, so I walk downstairs to talk to Alex about the incident last night.

I was just so mad. She has no right to treat me like that! I'm her kidnapper for God's sake! I could have killed her if I wanted to!

But when I raised my hand to slap her, the fear in her chocolate brown eyes hurt me.

Why should I care? I shouldn't care.

But if the fans saw that side of me.. I don't think they'd ever love me again. And I can't risk that. They can be annoying at times, but they are the reason I wake up everyday. I love seeing them get excited over me smiling at them at concerts.

Shit. We have a concert tomorrow.

It's one of our first stops for our On The Road Again Tour. The O2 arena in London. Thank god I stayed here in England this weekend. I was thinking about going to California and that would have been awful because I would've missed the concert.

But what about Alex, Penny and the babies?

My phone gets a notification.

This is bad. This is really bad. The girls are gonna wonder why they broke up.

I call Zayn.

"Hello?" He answers almost immediately.

"What the hell were you thinking mate?" I ask angrily.

"She broke up with me! She got home from the grocery store and she caught Penny and I.." He trails off.

"Go on," I urge.

"She caught us doing the dirty," he says seriously.

I hang up on him.

I walk downstairs to find Alex sitting there on her phone.

"What are you doing?" I question and her head snaps towards me.

"I saw the tweet.." She says quietly. She's been so submissive ever since I freaked out on her.

I sit down beside her.

"I know, it's bad. Perrie caught Zayn and Penny having sex," she cringes at my words.

"But he's her kidnapper.."

"Zayn is a nice guy, love. Maybe she's actually falling for him? Perrie was never very nice to Zayn.." I explain.

"But.. It's all so messed up," she whimpers.

"I know. We have a concert tomorrow here in London so I'm not sure how we're gonna hide you."

"Maybe a room backstage?" She suggests.

"That's a great idea!" I stand up and walk towards the door.

"See you tomorrow Harry," she whispers, and I can't help but smile to myself.

•day of the concert•

"I'm so sorry Alex but you have to stay backstage. You're too famous in this fandom to be out there. No one knows who Penny is so its okay for her to be out in the crowd," I explain. I feel so bad that I have to do this.

"It's fine Harry," she says sincerely, "I'm not a directioner but Penny definitely is. I can listen to you sing from backstage. I've never been much of a concert person anyways."

I make a silly face at Lottie to make her giggle before I turn around and walk towards the stage.

"LONDONNNNN!" I scream and the crowd goes wild.

"How about we start off this night with a little bit of.. Stockholm Syndrome?" I smirk and they scream even louder.

After we sing a few songs and get ready to sing Little Things, I notice Zayn looking into the crowd.

"I have someone very special for you to meet tonight," Zayn says unexpectedly.

The crowd goes get loud again and I hear multiple girls yell "Ed Sheeran".

He pulls Penny up on stage and the crowd looks confused.

"This is my girlfriend."

Complete. Silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

Zayn awkwardly scratches the back of his neck and Penny looks like a deer caught in headlights.

He walks over to the edge of the stage and a security guard passes Xander to him.

"And this is our son."

The screams get louder than ever.

This kid is going to be famous.
