Stop and Stare

Chapter 22

*Harrys POV*

"Hi everyone, and welcome to the first ever music concert by our students." Our music teachers voice filled the auditorium. We had to each write and perform a song, and Louis was in the front row. I wrote this song all about him. We had been together for 7 months now, and it was the best feeling in the world. "Our last act, is very talented, and here he is. The one and only, Harry Styles."

Upon hearing my name, I walked onto the stage hearing everyone cheer. "Hi everyone. This song is called Stop and Stare, and I would like to dedicate it to my amazing boyfriend, Louis Tomlinson." I said into the mic. Louis blushed and smiled at me.

"This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us

It's time to make our move, I'm shakin' off the rust

I've got my heart set on anywhere but here

I'm staring down myself, counting up the years

Steady hands just take the wheel

Every glance is killing me

Time to make one last appeal

For the life I lead

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go no where

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're here not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, can you see what I see?

They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push

Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could

i've got my heart set on anywhere but here

im staring down myself, counting up the years

Steady feet, don't fail me now

I'mma run till you can't walk

Something pulls my focus out

And I'm standing down

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go no where

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're here not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, you don't need

What you need, what you need

What you need

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go no where

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

I've become what I can't be

Oh, do you see what I see?"

I finished the song and the crowd went crazy, I could tell Louis had teared up.

"Hey Lou." I said meeting him. "Hey babe."

We sat down and listened to the music teacher talk. "Louis, I heard you had something you wanted to do?" Mr Sullivan asked him. I was confused. Louis nodded to him and took my hand leading me onstage as he was handed a microphone.

He got down on one knee in front of me. "Harry Edward Styles, I have loved you since I ever laid eyes on you at that football game. I couldn't help but stop and just to admire you. These last 7 months have been the best, and I can't stand to be without you. I want you forever. You are my one and only. Harry Styles, would you marry me?" He asked taking out a beautiful ring. The crowd went crazy.

The tears streamed down my face. "YES!" I screamed hugging him. He smiled, and slipped the ring on my finger. Then, right then and there, he kissed me, and it was full of love. "I love you Louis." I said stroking his face as the crowd screamed in the background, but Louis was all I could see. "I love you too Harry. Forever and Always."
