Harry's POV
I could hear the boys' loud voices from the room next door. I sighed and continued to scroll through my mentions on twitter. It's funny how I always find myself stalking our fans' accounts and ninety-nine percent of the time. I saw that a lot of the fans were talking about how disappointed they were that Zayn dropped the tour. In all honesty, we were all disappointed, it just wasn't the same without him. I personally can't wait until he returns and I hope he does so quickly. However, if Zayn feels like he needs time off then we will support him and I'm glad a lot of the fans understand that as well.
I was so deep in thought, I didn't realize someone sat down next to me until I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder. Full of concern, he whispered in my ear, "You alright, love? Penny for your thoughts?" as he rubbed my back. Startled by how fast he got close to me, I slightly jumped up to then fully relax my body under his touch. "I don't know," I mumbled, "I just feel so bad for Zayn because of everything that's happening to him. What if we're next on Gossip Girl's hit list? If she can easily get Zayn's information, what makes you think that she can't get ours and go after us?"
By now I'm having a mental breakdown and he just held me in his arms. "Well...", he begins to suggest, "we could always go public and reduce the chances of Gossip Girl coming onto us. That way we can come out on our own time and it won't be as bad."
I sighed because we've been through this multiple times, "We've been through this before, Boo bear," I try to reason with him, "How do you think Management will react if we go through with this stunt? What about the fans? What about the press?"
I can tell he got pissed off by the way he quickly stood up and began to raise his voice, "You know what, Harry? I don't think you really care about what Management, the fans, and the press think." He began to soften his tone and took a breath before he carried on, "I think you're just making excuses because you're not ready to tell the world that you're gay and it's obviously okay, but you need to trust me. You and I both know that the fans would support us through anything and who cares about what the press thinks? Let them talk, that's what they do. As for Management, we can deal with them later, but what's the worse thing that can happen? Do you really think they're going to fire us from our own tour? Or kick us out of the band? Harry, we're actually the ones that have complete control over them, we're the ones who bring in the money."
He looked into my eyes, waiting for my answer. "I don't know, I'm not sure," and with that I nervously run my fingers through my hair. Considering the idea, but also trying to come up with an excuse I bring up a valid argument, "But what about Eleanor?"
"Don't worry about her, we broke up." he said casually. "What? When did this happen?" I asked frantically. To the majority of the fandom that was probably the worst news ever, but to me, that was the best thing I've heard in my entire life. "Oh just a couple of days ago, before the Zayn drama occurred. I wanted to say something, but I felt like we had to focus on Zayn's problems rather than my own," he said with a small chuckle towards the end.
I began to stand up and held his hands, "Do you know what this means," I smile, and look down at our shoes and then back into his blue eyes, "I guess we really don't have a reason to keep our relationship a secret anymore". As soon as those words left my mouth, he pulled me into one of his big, cuddly hugs that I love so much.
We pulled away just enough for me to lean down and place a small yet tender kiss onto his lips. Just as I was about to pull away, I felt him deepen the kiss and pulled me even closer to him than we were before. What started off as a small kiss was quickly turning into a heated make out session. Sadly, it ended all too soon because we heard our names being called from the room next door. "Coming," he shouted for us as we tried to recover from our intimate moment.
Liam appeared at the doorway seconds later and said, "We're hungry and we're going out to get some food, you boys want to come?"
"Um, I think I'll stay behind, I'm not that hungry anyways. You guys go have fun." I said while looking up at the two figures in front of me. They looked up at each other and shrugged, walking out of the room.
Louis' POV
I smiled to myself as I followed the other boys out through the back door of the hotel, happy that Harry has finally become ready to come out to the rest of the world. We have waited such a long time and to think we can finally tell our long kept secret to everyone lifts a huge weight off of our shoulders. To be honest, I don't know how much longer I could've been able to keep this hidden. It really bothered me how I couldn't talk about this part of my life with the other boys, or anyone close to me for that matter.
I was too deep in my thoughts that I didn't realize I had left my phone in our room. "Hold on guys, I'll catch up with you in a sec. I need to get my phone," I said while jogging back elevator and taking it back up to our floor. Once I got back inside, I heard my phone vibrate on the counter. I picked it up and checked the message that was flashing on the screen.
The message read:
"Just in: the Elounor ship has sunk! Sources confirm that Louis Tomlinson has officially called it off with, now ex-girlfriend, Eleanor Calder. What could have possibly influenced the 23 year old to call it the quits with his four year long girlfriend? Has Louis found someone new? Yours truly, Gossip Girl."
My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. How is that even possible? The only person I told was Harry and I highly doubt he would go blurt it out to the world without talking with me about it first. Just to be sure, I made my way over to where I had been with Harry just moments before and sneaked a quick view into his room, just to see Harry on his phone again. That was enough to confirm my suspicions.
I ran back downstairs as fast as I could and made my way behind the hotel where the others were waiting. All of them heard my footsteps and looked up from their phones. "Louis is this true? How could you not tell us?" Niall asked. I ignored his questions and got straight to the point, "I think I know who Gossip Girl is".
