It's Called Acting(1Dfanfic)

Chapter 43

2 Weeks Later

Lydia P. O. V.

My hair was curled, make up nicely done, my red dress striking, as Harry had called it. I glanced at the back of my bedroom door, seeing the cap, the gown, and the honors cords, hanging under a protective plastic bag. I sighed, today is the day I get out of this house and get to start living my dream. The plane ride home was exhausting mainly because we had decided to drink some more and a few of us had minor hangovers,(especially Niall). After we got home a week ago, I told Harry about why I had decided to show up. He was shocked of course, then he finally understood why I was so upset and he chuckled at my reaction to the situation. Today's the day that I go from dreaming to living. I go from teen to adult. Still a student but not for long. My thoughts were interrupted by someone yelling, "Lydia! Get your ass down here, we're gonna be late!" I slipped on my shoes, grabbed my gown and jogged down the stairs. Liam was helping a fussy Niall with his tie, he has been grumbling the past two weeks because Abby had to stay in Alabama for the rodeo, and he won't see her till her graduation, which isn't for another three weeks, but I think he's gonna surprise her and show up anyway. Every boy was in a suit, and Harry had a red tie to match my dress. "It's what cute couples do." He told me. I had rolled my eyes at this, but he insisted. "Finally, why does it always take you women so long?" Louis huffed. I stuck my tongue out at him. "Now, now, you two don't start this again, it's a big day and it needs to be great." Liam scolds laughing. Harry kisses my cheek, "Yeah, it is a big day. Are you ready?" He asks, his question has a double sided meaning. I nod, "Definitely." My mom walks out...with Daniel and I resist groaning. She was quite unhappy with me after I took off on a plane..by myself..with her money..for a week almost. Heh heh? I told her truthfully how I felt about the whole "Daniel" deal and she understood but she basically told me she was gonna date him blessing or not, I didn't tell her about dad. She would've flipped. He tries to be nice to me, he made me breakfast the day I got back and told me his intentions were good, and I believe him but I still act like an ass. I didn't tell him how damn good the breakfast was either but I think he knows. We all pile into two cars and are off to the school. Niall is still pouting, "Niall, it's not the end of the world. You'll get to see her in two weeks." He sticks his tongue out and huffs."We don't speak of it!" I roll my eyes and Zayn pokes his cheek, Niall swatting his hand away causing Zayn to giggle obnoxiously. "Okay, grumpy pants." He says. Niall harumphs and crosses his arms still pouting. "Niall if you stop pouting, then I'll Skype Abby later, and I will buy you Nando's, and ice cream." I say. He turns around, glares at me and then says, "Double scoop?" In a little kid voice with wide eyes. We all laugh as I say yes to his request. "Any flavor you want." I say patting his arm, and his eyes light up and he turns around bouncing a little. Harry slings his arm around my waist and I rest my head on his shoulder as Liam begins to tell us about how Sophia had spilled her drink all over herself, him, and the waiter on their date last night. That had us rolling with laughter for the remainder of the car ride. He could barely tell it himself. When we get out of the car and into the school Harry grabs my hand as we walk to the gym. We depart and he says, "I'll be the one yelling the loudest." I wink, "As always, Styles, as always." And walk away leaving him laughing quietly. The music starts about fifteen minutes later and we all take our seats. Principle Gordon gives his small speech and then the Valedictorian gives her speech. A really good speech too, it's the normal "following our dreams and being unstoppable cause that's who we are" speech. But it was good, then the names start rolling, the cheers get louder, the tears stream down peoples faces, the boys act like idiots when they cross the stage. Yelling, and whooping "Take that bitches and fuck you science!", getting scolded by the teachers. All quite funny. The school sluts just snatch it and walk past. And then, it's my turn and the whole section where they're sitting stands up clapping and jumping and screaming I just shake my head and walk past shaking hands and smiling thinking, "I did it.", and being the crazy person I am I threw up westside just for Louis and Niall, and they threw it back yelling like cavemen. The procession was done a few minutes later, we switched our tassels to the other side and then threw them in the air and that was that. My mom came running after I had said goodbyes to some of my "friends" and basically squeezed the life out of me. "I am so proud of you!" She exclaimed. I smiled and then the boys attacked me with a group hug and Daniel shook my hand. Mom said, "Okay, pictures, pictures!" I groaned as did the boys but we got the pictures over with. Harry being his cheeky self stole my hat and wouldn't give it back until I kissed him. That'll be an interesting picture later. Mom hugged me tight, before she had to leave for work and Daniel hugged me too, I was surprised but I hugged him slightly and coughed, he got the message and let go. "See you later mom I'll call you." She kissed my cheek saying an ok. The boys are going out for drinks but Me and Harry are going to spend some one on one time seeing as how ever since we got back he's been gone for a couple small concerts. We have some planning to do.

7 months later

He takes my hand and we stroll down the streets taking our time. Not really talking it's more of a think walk than a talk walk. Our breath visible in the cold London air, snow falling, soft gusts of wind blowing, it's beautiful, our heads covered in beanies and scarves around our necks. I'm almost five months into school and Harry has been gone for a month, and today is the day his home becomes mine as well. We finally reach my door and walk inside up to my room. I look around at the two boxes of art supplies left, to be taken to Harry's. We left his car here so we take the boxes down, still in silence. "Lydia?" "Hmm?" "You're sure you're ready for this? You don't have to leave, you're her only child and you're flying the coop." I hold my chin high as I look at him. Pure worry for my well being etched on his face and in his eyes. I hold my hands on his face smoothing out the frown. "Harry, she has Daniel. I will live 10 miles away. I'll be with you, that's all that matters. She has someone to take care of her now and I'm going to college, it's time to fly the coop, Harry. It's time for me to live my life. I'm ready to go to school and do what I love. Wouldn't wanna deprive me of that now would ya?" I say softly, shivering slightly. He shuts the trunk and leans me against the car. He leans down kisses my forehead and then whispers, "Close your eyes." I do as he says and I feel his presence leave, but then his voice sounds. "Some people will look at this as doomed to fail, or that we are too young for this. Most will aw and fawn over it. But whatever they say, whatever they do, the most important thing in my life is you, Lyddi. And it always will be. So, my dear, sweet Lydia. I have a question. A most important question." I feel his hand take mine as he whispers, "Darling, will you marry me?" My eyes shoot open as I look down into his winter green eyes, as my own eyes fill with joyful tears and see the ring in his hand. Again I cradle his cheek with my hand. "I'd marry you a thousand times. Yes, yes!" I say nodding frantically as he slides the ring on my finger and swoops me up into a kiss. Breaths heavy, hearts bursting. Forehead to forehead, eye to eye, chest to chest. We are one and always will be.
