"Wait no!" I said while running out of the corner and trying to find the guy.

Harry was behind me but was stumbling since he was drunk.

"FIVE!" The people shouted.

I looked around and I couldn't see the guy that took the picture.

"FOUR!" They screamed.

I looked around and see Harry coming at me with a smile at his face. I go over to him and he takes my face in his hands.

"THREE!" Another shout of voices said.

"Harry someone caught us!" I yelled.

He just smiled and leaned in to kiss me.

"TWO!" Voices shouted.

"ONE!" Everyone yelled and Harry immediately crashed his lips on to mine.

At first I was trying to get him off since people would see but I figured, there was already a picture then why not. I continued kissing Harry and then he finally broke away to breathe. He smiled at me and I couldn't help think but of how hot he was.

"Let's go home." I said since he was seeming to be getting more dizzier.

"Ok love." He said. I helped get him into a cab and I joined him. I didn't care about the paparazzi at the moment, I just wanted to get Harry home safely.

The cab brought him back to his apartment and I helped him get in. The cab was waiting so I was trying to hurry and get Harry into bed.

"Stay the night." He said while grabbing my arm.

"Harry I can't." I said.

"Please. Please stay." He said.

I shrugged out of his grasp and gave him a kiss on his cheek. He smiled and his eyes slowly dropped down. He started snoring a little and I wanted to laugh at how adorable he was.

I walked out of his apartment and got back in the cab. I give the driver directions to my apartment and within a few minutes we were there. I open the door and see Niall and Ellie on the couch. They were practically attacking each other.

"Um. I'm just going to my room." I said.

They pulled apart and look at me. Both were clearly drunk. I wasn't that drunk though and I couldn't wait to make fun of them in the morning. I just shook my head and walked into my room.

I got into pajamas and then brushed my teeth. I crawled into bed and took my laptop out to go on twitter. I saw that I had tons of followers and I was so confused. I click on a photo I was tagged in and saw that it was the picture me and Harry kissing.

I had forgotten all about the kiss being caught since I was so worried about Harry being so drunk and then having to take him home. I was getting really nervous. I put away my laptop and laid down. What if fans didn't like me? Was Harry just going to say that we were friends again? It took me hours to get to sleep but eventually I drifted off.

"Brooke!!" I hear Ellie say my name and then come straight into my room.

"What?" I ask while still sleeping slightly.

"I think...I think Niall and I made out last night."

"You did. On the couch. I heard him leave right about an hour after I came back." I said while opening my eyes and sitting up in bed.

"We did? It wasn't a dream this time!" She said while the biggest smile was lighting up her face.

I laughed and nodded my head.

"I need Advil." She said while continuing to smile and heading out.

I got out of bed and headed into the kitchen to get some cereal. I was going to call Harry about the photo but I figured he was sleeping.

"Ellie." I said.

"Yeah love?" She asks while walking in.

"Well I have a prob-" I begin to say.

"Talk quieter please. Hangover love." She said and laughed a little.

"I have a problem. Paparazzi caught me and Harry kissing each other last night."

"Oh shit"

"I know."

I was just about take a bit of cereal when I heard a knock on the door. I go to open it.

"Brooke!" Harry said.

"Harry? You're up already?"

"Yeah." He said while walking in and shaking the snow out of his hair.

"I am so sorry about last night. I got drunk and I was careless. Brooke I am so sorry." He said.

"Harry it's fine." I said and give him a reassuring kiss.

"I will fix this."

"The picture?" I asked.

"Yeah. I can say we were both drunk."

Right when I heard him say he was going to try and cover it up I realized I was tired of hiding the relationship.

"Harry. I don't want to cover it up anymore."

"Brooke. You don't understand, you don't want the hate."

"Harry I don't care about it! I am strong enough."

He looks at me for a few minutes and Ellie had left the room to give us privacy.

"It's been horrible for the other girls lately. You can't go through with that just for me." He said.

"Harry it's worth it."

"No. I'm not worth it! You don't deserve all the hate."

"Harry! You are worth it! I will be fine. Don't worry. I have friends, family, and most importantly you. The hate is nothing compared to that."

He smiled a little and gave me a kiss.

"Are you sure?" He said.

"Positive."

"Well. Guess it's time to tell the world about my new girl. Let's go get breakfast." He said with a smile.

"I'll go get ready." I said and gave him a quick kiss.

I got the pair of skinny jeans Ellie had given me for Christmas and put them on and then wore one of Harry's sweatshirts that he had left at my place a few nights ago. I let my hair stay curly and dabbed some makeup on and then put my shoes and beanie on. I walk out and Harry smiled at me.

"Want Advil?" I asked, knowing that he has a hangover.

"Already took some earlier." He said with a smiled.

"Let's go." I said and took his hand.

"My sweatshirt looks good on you." He whispered in my ear.

I blushed and we walked out. I was excited that the public would finally know about us and we didn't need to hide anymore but at the same time I was nervous about the reactions from people. With these thoughts going through my head I held onto Harry's hand tighter and continued to walk out.
