Cherry Bomb [H.S.]

EPILOGUE

The crowd roared as Marlowe and her band raced off the stage. Her chest was heaving as Lys quickly passed her a water bottle, and she quickly thanked her before starting to chug it. Harry walked over to stand beside her, wrapping his arm around her waist while pressing a kiss to her temple.

"We fucking killed it tonight!" Marlowe exclaimed as she smiled at him, passing her water bottle off to him to finish.

Harry hummed in agreement while drinking down the water, and he glanced behind them with narrowed brows. Licking over his bottom lip, he pointed to the stage. "Why aren't the house lights coming up?"

Marlowe smirked over at Lys who wore a similar expression before looking back over at Harry. "We've got one more song."

"We do?" Harry asked with confusion, and Marlowe just nodded before taking his hand - leading him back towards the stage.

Harry quickly tossed the empty water bottle into the recycling bin as the band ran past them first to get back out there, and the crowd ramped back up with the knowledge they'd be getting an extra encore. Once Harry and Marlowe were back on the stage, the crowd grew even louder, and Marlowe couldn't help but grin harder at the sound.

"With this being the last show of the tour, we've got one more song for you, LA!" She exclaimed into the microphone, Harry's hand still in hers as he stood by her side.

After the release of her album, Marlowe embarked on a North American tour that had a few dates overseas wedged in the middle of it. It spanned over several months as she requested to have weeks off at a time so that she didn't exhaust herself. She sold out almost every show, and while it was quite overwhelming, she couldn't have been happier while being out on the road. What also made it easy was the fact Harry was with her every step of the way.

Once Marlowe had agreed to a tour, she had asked Harry to come along as her tour drummer, and he agreed without hesitation. They had even started to incorporate some songs they sang together while they were younger into the setlist, and the crowds were very receptive to the songs where they exchanged vocals. Marlowe already decided that she'd be including Harry on her new album when the time came, and she and Harry already started to write songs together again.

Although Marlowe's parents still didn't really make over the amazing career she had built for herself, they had come to a couple of shows during this last tour whenever they had the time. As far as Harry's mother went, he hadn't heard from her once since he left to go to rehab, and he was grateful for it. When they went overseas for some shows, Harry was finally able to meet his father in person, and it was an emotional moment for the two of them even though they had spoken on the phone almost every day since Harry reached out to him while in rehab.

"For this one, I'm going to need a fill in for the drums!" Marlowe said, and Harry looked over to see Marlowe's previous tour drummer behind Harry's kit. "As most of you know, my boyfriend, and my drummer, Harry and I have known each other for several years, and tonight, I'm going to be celebrating him. As of today ladies and gentleman, Harry is a year and a half sober!"
