Can't Fight These Feelings...

Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Harry's POV

Ramming the doors open, I searched for Lani. Dammit. She was on in 10 minutes.

"Lani!" I called out.

"Darcy sweetie, go find uncle Paul okay?" I said setting Darcy down. Her brown curls bounced as she nodded, running off.

"Lani!" I called out again. Where could she be? Then it clicked. The girls bathroom.

Slowly peaking in, making sure no one saw me in a girls bathroom, I checked the floor. That's when I saw her black vans, poking out.

"Lani...I know your in here." I walked up to the stall door. No one was in here except for me and her.

"I can't do it, Harry." She whispered.

"Open up so we can talk." I said. The stall door slowly gaped. Lani looked at the ground, eyes not meeting mine.

"We've been preparing you for this for a month. I've seen you progress. You can totally do this..." I took her hands in mine, slightly squeezing.

"What if I mess up? What if they hate me?" Lani questioned.

"They won't hate you. I promise. Now look at me. Look at me." I pushed her chin up, hazel eyes meeting mine.

"No one can ever hate you babe. No one. You hear me? If they do, they'll just get a whoopin in their arse." I could tell she was holding in her laugh.

"I just don't wanna do this, Harry"

"Think of Darcy. Wouldn't you want your mom to be a rockstar? Wouldn't you wanna be watching your mum from backstage? Seeing her shine?" I asked.

"Leilani..." I said using her full name. "It's time to get over your fears. You won't be able to move on without overcoming them." she stayed quiet. Not answering.

Frustrated, I held her head in my hands, letting our lips touch. Her hands lifted up to my chest, letting them lay there. I slid mine down to her waist, pulling her in. Before I let myself go too far, I broke apart.

"Do it for me. Please?" I begged.

Lani's POV

I didn't answer him. I felt like throwing up. It was something I felt whenever I got even close to the stage.

"You know, I was gonna do this after the concert, hoping it would be a 'congrats' kinda thing, but I guess not." Harry pulled something from his pocket. Revealing it to be some kind of box.

Inside was a ring.

I froze.

"It's not an engagement ring. Trust me. I wanted to, but I thought you might want to go slow with this." Harry said handing the box for me to admire.

"It's a promise ring. Promise me, through everything we go through, we'll always be there for each other. I want you to know I care. These past few years without you were a struggle Lani. I never went a day without thinking of what I did wrong. I never went a day without wishing I could rewind and change what I did wrong. I'm not willing to loose you again Lani. I've woken up in the night, a thousand times, wishing you were beside me. I missed playing with your hair, waiting for you to fall asleep. I miss those cuddle days....I miss you..." I could see Harry on the verge of tears. But he managed to smile. "I've gone through hell and back while you were gone. I put a fake smile on my face every single day, not wanting people to know about my pain. I didn't admit it when I first saw you because I didn't want to scare you off. I didn't want you to go again. When I saw Darcy...it was just another beginning. It was another excuse for you to stay. Now...now I have two wonderful girls in my life. The only two I'll ever need. I want you to promise me Lani....promise you won't go. Promise me that..." I could see all the emotions in his eyes. I could see the pain he went through.

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I pulled him into a kiss. Soft and gentle.

"I promise." I whispered in between the kiss. I could tell Harry smiled while trying to keep our lips moving in sync.

Fear washed away. Hearing Harry...I realized he was all I needed also. I could conquer anything with him. We were like...like a torn hoodie. There may be a rip, but that can be mended. It will never be the same, but there will always be a way to fix it. As long as you're careful, it will never break again. And I was not gonna allow us to break. For the sake of Darcy....and for the sake of me.

The End.
