STOLEN (Lawson)

Now You Know

ANDY’S POV

She showed up. Heaven knows how happy I was to see her backstage before the concert started. She cooled down all my nerves. Just seeing her in the crowd as I performed gave me this whole new energy. As I performed some of these emotional songs I wondered what she would think of me. What kind of guy gets so emotional over a girl like this? I smiled back at her to show her that I was alright but I could tell she knew I wasn’t. I saw her sobbing when we performed ‘When she was mine’ and that was when I knew she understood me. She understood how I felt. She felt my pain. 

Backstage she ran to me and hugged me even without saying a word. It was a mutual feeling I guess. Subconsciously I knew why she was hugging me; it wasn’t just to congratulate me about the show. It was much deeper than that. To have her in my arms again was a feeling I had definitely missed. I could sense something was disturbing her as well. It was like she came to save me but she was asking for my help as well. It was one of the deepest most intimate moments I had ever had with anyone. At this time when I was so vulnerable, she came to me. She made me feel wanted. I took her in my arms and I never wanted to let go.

After that the rest of the night kind of wrote itself, no one asked any questions. We didn’t care if people were staring, if pictures were being taken. I held her hand tight and all I knew was that I needed her.

 ANGIE’S POV

I tiptoed back to the apartment hoping not to wake Zara up. It was almost 3 am and I knew she would lecture me about coming home so late or early. Andy had just dropped me home and visions of the awkward moment we had in the car before I came out kept flashing in my mind. I just gave him a hug although I knew I was forbidden to even have physical contact with him. I had already pushed my boundaries but this couldn’t go any further. He was staring at my lips, and I couldn’t help but notice his bright pink lips. Wow, okay. Angela May, you are engaged.

When I was with Andy it was like Liam became non-existent. Like time was frozen and all that mattered was that I was with him.

“HONEY WAKE UP!” Zara shouted startling me from my sleep.

“Come on Zara, lemme sleep.”

“Oh I heard you sneaking in last night Ang. I know you’ve only been asleep for 5 hours! But before I go out, how was the concert?”

“Oh, it was uhh amazing! So much fun, they were great!”

“And ...how about Andy?”

“Umm what about him?”

“Did you honour our deal?”

I remained silent and the expression on her face changed as expected.

“Oh no. Wait a second.”

She picked up her phone and started typing something. I just stared at her unaware of what she was doing.

“Look at what you’ve done!” she shouted, handing me her phone. There on the screen was a picture of Andy and I leaving the concert hand in hand, and the title was “ANDY BROWN AND ANGIE MAY SPOTTED LEAVING 02 ARENA HAND IN HAND AFTER LAWSON CONCERT. COULD THE SUPERMODEL BE HAVING AFFAIR WITH THE SINGER? IS SHE STILL ENGAGED TO ONE DIRECTION SINGER LIAM PAYNE?

Then it hit me that I was going to be in deep shit. I knew that Liam didn’t pay attention to tabloids but this story had been blown up all over the internet. I didn’t want to hurt Liam but I had lied to him. What excuse was I going to give for going to the concert after telling him that I was sick. This was going to be really fucked up.

I put on my sweatpants and a hoodie and I left Zara standing there. I left the apartment and drove all the way to Zayn’s. I needed someone else’s opinion on this. I couldn’t keep this inside anymore.
