Elli's P.O.V

"We're out of food" I shouted to the boys who were in the other room. All of a sudden Louis' head popped round the corner.

"Yay! Time to go shopping!" He said. Harry walked in after him. We got our shoes on and walked out of the flat. Harry started to walk towards his car when Louis said "I'm driving" and rushed to his car.

Harry walked up to me and held my hand. "Is is safe to let Louis drive?" I asked.

"Don't worry babe, his driving is'nt that bad, he just likes to go a little fast". That was'nt very reassuring. I got into the car anyway and sat in the back. Harry sat with me. It was'nt a very long drive but as we arrived it started to rain.

"Okay on the count of three we race into the shop, agreed?"

Me and harry nodded our heads. "1,2...3". We opened the doors and ran as fast as we could. Harry grabbed my hand and we were careful to avoid cars and pedestrians. We stumbled into the Shop and Louis was'nt there.

"Where's Lou?" I asked Harry.

"I don't know" he replied. "I almost forgot" he said putting putting on his beanie and sunglasses. "Me and Lou like to go undercover when we do our shopping". I let out a small giggle as Louis walked into the shop with a lady of about forty holding his shoulders.

"Is this your friend?" she asked us. She looked really angry.

"Louis, what did you do this time?" Harry said facing him.

"Nothing" Louis said defensively, crossing his arms.

"Nothing!" The lady then turned to face Harry. "This young man ran through the car park and almost killed me!"

"I'm sure that's a little over exaggerated" Harry replied. The woman looked completely horrified.

"How dare you? Your friend was running so fast that he bashed into my arm and nearly knocked the shopping out of my hands!" she continued.

I decided to speak up. "I'm sorry, but I think that there is a difference between knocking into someone by accident and nearly killing them". Oh no! The woman looked really pissed off now. She stopped looking at Harry and turned to face me.

"I don't believe I asked for your opinion!" she snapped. Harry put his arms around my waist defensively and glared at the woman.

"I would appreciate it if you did'nt talk to my girlfriend like that" he said. I knew me and Harry were dating but he'd never called me his girlfriend before. Harry smiled at me.

"I would'nt need to talk to her like that if she kept her nose out of other peoples business" The woman said, looking a less confident now.

"I'm not going to sit here and listen to people talk to my girlfriend like that, I suggest that you let go of My friend and we can all get on with our lives".

"I already said sorry to her Haz" Louis said.

"No, not until I hear an apolodgy out of you and your girlfriend for the way you have been speaking to me". Harry let go of me and walked over to the security guard. He took of his hat and glasses and whispered something into the guards ear. The guard walked over with Harry by his side.

"Excuse me mam, but this young gentleman tells me that you are harassing him, his girlfriend and his friend". The lady opened her mouth to say something but the guard cut her off. "I'm afraid you will need to leave the shop" The woman let go off Louis and the guard escorted her out. Louis stuck his tounge out at her. Me and Harry let out small chuckles.

Harry turned to look at me. "Are you okay?".

"I'm fine" I answered. Harry took my hand and Louis went to get a trolley. Shopping took us around two hours. We ended up buying more junk food than anything. we drove home and when we arrived Liam was standing outside of our flat.

"Have you seen this?" he said handing me and Harry a magazine. How did this happen? Our photos were all over the cover. I looked at the top and in big bold letters it said 'Harry's new mystery girl?'.  I flicked through to the article. It was all there. My name, a photo of me outside the boys flat, where I worked, Everything.

I looked up at Harry and handed him the magazine. I wanted to say something but I could'nt speak. It was all over. Now he knew where to find me. How could I have been so stupid? I'd put me and Harry in danger. It was'nt fair. I'd finally found somewhere where I felt safe and happy and now everything was going to end. I let go of harry's hand and opened the front door. I walked into my room and sat on the bed.

Harry's P.O.V

She left without saying a word. "Sorry Haz, it's everywhere. Niall, Zayn and Paul are trying to buy all the magazines before too many people read them. But its all over the Internet too."

"I need to speak to El" I answered walking into the flat. I  walked into her room to find her packing her bag. Her eyes were watering but she was trying to hold them back. "What are you doing El?" I asked.

"Packing. I need to go Haz. I'm sorry. I love you but if me staying here puts you in danger..."

I cut her off. "El, your not putting me in any danger. You could'nt see you properly in  those photos and they only got your first name. Anyway I'm not letting you go anywhere". I pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her lips. "If it makes you feel any better, I've asked for security guards to placed outside of our flat permanently. No one is going to hurt you while I'm here". She looked up at me and smiled.

"Thankyou Harry" she said as she kissed my lips.
