All in the Past

Rollercoaster

Lauren's P.O.V.

"Eight months?" I questioned Harry. Seriously.

"Eight months. That was the agreement that I made with Kendal before we got back together that's the agreement I have to keep." He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"It's okay. I'll wait for you." I gave him a reassuring smile but he just shook his head.

"No." He got up and started to pace, "I need the world to know how I feel about you. I need to be able to hold your hand in a big crowd and kiss you anytime I want to."

I involuntarily blush at that and look down at the ground but he doesn't seem to notice. I'm thankful for that.

"I need to be with you now Lauren. I can't wait." He kneeled down in front of my and made me look him in the eyes, "I love you. We've waited too long to be together."

"But what can we do Harry? You have to keep up your end of the deal."

"I'll figured it out." He kissed me then put his forehead to mine, "I promise."

I just nodded. Either way I would be okay. I would wait however long it took to be with him.

I will admit that it's going to hurt seeing him and Kendal acting like a couple and I may or may not get jealous every time he holds her hand or pulls her close but what could we really do?

A week later

Harry's P.O.V.

"So Harry how has everything been going with you and Kendal?" Our interviewer asked.

"It's been alright." I shrugged my shoulders.

"All right? Is that all? Is there trouble in paradise?" She was digging for dirt and I was give her some.

"Well" I start, "I wouldn't say that there's trouble...."

"Please continue" she leaned forward with interest.

"I don't know." I smiled.

"You can tell me. I won't tell anyone." The crowd laughed and so did I.

"Okay." I ran my hand through my hair, "I'm--I'm still in love with Lauren."

As soon as I blurted it out the crowd went crazy with cheers.

"Kendal is a great girl but I love Lauren. I always will." I continued.

There were a series of awwwws from the crowd and my band mates were all smiling at me. Hopefully the crowd favoriting Lauren over Kendal will be enough for Kendal to see that I'm not just going to roll over because she wants me to and hopefully management will see how beneficial my relationship with Lauren can be.

After the interview we went straight over to the girls house. As soon as I entered the room Lauren threw her arms around me and gave me a hug.

"You know you could get in a lot of trouble for that." She leaned away so that I could see her face.

"Maybe. But it's worth it. You're worth it." She blushed and knowing that I made her do that made me smile.

I'd do anything to see her smile.

Just then my phone rang and of course it was management. They told me to meet them right now in their office. They sounded mad but that didn't phase me.

"Guys we have to go. Management wants to talk to all of us." They seemed nervous but I had no regrets, "whatever happens just know that I'm happy with my decision today and I wouldn't change a thing."

We said goodbye to the girls before heading over to management.

..................................................

"What were you thinking?" Management was frustrated, "you could of cost us everything."

"Could have?" Maybe there was hope that I didn't mess up anything after all.

"Yes, could have. Luckily, Kendal saw how desperate you wanted to be with Lauren and decided that she didn't want to have anything to do with someone who would embarrass her like that. And now she's decided to use the victim card with the public and say how much you hurt her. That hurts your rep but it doesn't really look like you care." He was right about that, "so let this be a warning Harry. Don't you ever do something so reckless again got it? If you do we won't be able to keep you in the band."

I knew that he meant what he was saying.

"I promise. No more reckless behavior. I have Lauren now. That's all I've ever wanted." I assured them.

"I sure hope so kid. Don't ruin the good thing you have going with these guys. This is a once in a lifetime chance."

"I know."

"Okay kids get out of here so I can recover from my near death experience." They kicked us out.

As soon as we were out of hearing distance we smiled at one another and cheered at our plan gone right. We wanted to tell the girls but we thought that maybe we should give them a little scare first.

"Here's the plan....." Zayn began.

Lauren's P.O.V.

The boys called us about three hours after they left and told us to meet them at their place. We asked them what happened but they refused to tell us. That scared me. I didn't know whether they wanted us to come over to give bad or good news.

"Tell us what happened." I pleaded one last time.

"Come over and find out." Harry's time remained neutral.

I sighed, "Fine."

"See you in a hour. I love you."

"I love you too." I said before hanging up.

The girls and I got ready and just hoped for the best.

When we got to the boys place the room was dark. We called out but no one answered. I felt like I was entering a mad man's trap or something. Then suddenly we saw light coming from the balcony and we all walked over there with great caution.

There the boys were all dressed up in suits and ties and smiling. I knew then that it was good news. We all ran over to them and have them hugs. I was so happy for them.

They told us everything over a nice candle lite dinner and I couldn't have been more relieved that everything was finally working out for us.

"Hey. Can I talk to you for a moment?" He held his hand out to me and I gladly good it.

He led me to a corner of the balcony.

"Are you okay?" I wondered.

"I'm great. I'm happy for the first time in a long time." He gave me a genuine smile, "I just wanted you to myself for a moment."

I looked down so that he couldn't see me blush but I was caught off guard when he placed his hand on my face to keep me from looking down.

I just stared into his eyes and it looked like they were shinning in the moonlight and it captivated me. Yeah I know it sounds corny but it's what I saw. My heart started to beat faster as he rubbed his thumb against my cheek.

"Don't hide from me." His voice was low.

I didn't know what to say. But that might have been a good thing because next thing I knew he was leaning forward and he kissed my forehead then my nose and finally my lips.

I placed my arms on his chest as he pulled me in closer by my waist. I didn't know love could feel like this. I can't imagine my life without him and a part of me is scared of all the things that could go wrong but in this moment all I'm thinking is all of the things that can go right.
