When we got off the plane in Manchester, my phone started flooding with notifications. Remember that fan that I told to keep Harry and I secret? Well she must've told some people because I was getting so many dms from so many fans. I had to close my direct messages, that's how bad it was. Once I had cleared every notification, I saw texts from Harry.

***

From Harry: So we're trending xD

From me: yeah, one of your fans messaged me about us and I probably shouldn't have told her we were dating. Thought she would keep a secret :(

From Harry: Major oof Macey. I didn't want people to know just yet because I wanted us to be left alone.

From me: Sorry Haz :(((

From Harry: Don't worry about it babe. If they know, then they know. I just wish I could be with you in case any fans give you hate or anything.

From me: They won't. All my social medias are private. I'll be ok. You just focus on your shows. I miss you loads Harry <3

From Harry: You have no idea how much I miss you Mace. I gotta go, the boys and I have to pack for California :)

From me: Goodbye my love <3

From Harry: Talk to you later loml

I was surprised Harry didn't put 'talk to you later' in text slang. He always did text slang when he was in a rush. 'Loml' means 'Love of my life' in case you guys didn't know:) That boy truly was my greatest and truest love. I have no idea who I would be without him.

Once people start catching onto us, things are going to change so much. I had a feeling that things would become worse before they got better.

Kayla and I made our way to the baggage claim, trying to keep a low profile in case any fans recognized me. Thankfully there wasn't any teenage girls around to recognize us. The only person there that would recognize us would be my second mom, Anne, Harry's mom.

She was waiting for Kayla and I because Harry texted her to pick us up. I wasnperfectly capable of trying to ask my mum to do so, but I mentioned to Harry how much I missed his mom.

"Anne!" I squealed as I pulled her into a tight hug. "Hello Macey darling," she said as she held me for a while. When Harry left for the X-Factor, Anne and Robin would always come over so we could watch the show together. When I graduated high school, Anne was there cheering me on with my mum. Once I went to university we lost touch, just like Harry and me and as I went through a tough time, all I wanted to do was have her hold me and tell everything would be ok. I know sounds weird to have someone else's mum be your support system when you already have a mum, but after my year in university, my parents got a divorce. It was very rough and there was no one to talk to. My parents were too consumed in their own lives that I didn't matter.

After the divorce, my mum and dad stopped talking to Anne and Robin just as I stopped talking to Harry. Our one big family fell apart.

I broke away from the hug to stare into her eyes that were just like Harry's. Full of love.

"How's it going my sweet girl," she said pinching my cheeks. Just like any mum, she always loved pinching my cheeks. "It's going wonderful Anne. Seeing Harry in New York truly made me so happy." "What's this I hear about you two being an item?" she said smirking at me. She was just like Harry in so many ways, she truly was a beauty. I blushed and hide my face a bit. "I've waited for this for so long Macey you have nooo idea!" she said gripping my hands with so much excitement in her voice.

"Have you told your mum?"

I was frozen for a second because to be completely honest, I hadn't talk to my mum since the divorce. That was a little over a year ago. She stopped contacting me and I had no idea why. What kind of mother would do that you ask? Mine.

I looked down at my hands. Anne held my face back up and her loving eyes gazed into me to give me comfort. "Oh love. You know I am your mom as well, I always was. Besides the whole blood relation of course," she smiled as that got me to laugh a little bit.

Kayla cleared her throat and I was brought out of the world I had created for Anne and me. "Oh my goodness, I completely forgot. Anne this my close friend from University, Kayla," I said moving out of the way so they could meet. Kayla went in for a handshake, but Anne doesn't give handshakes so she was a bit taken back when she pulled her into an embrace.

"Very nice to meet you my dear." "So nice to meet the mother of the boy that Macey never stops gushing about." Anne smiled at this because she knew how much I loved her boy.

Anne led us to her car and we drove off once we packed everything in. I had her drive us to our home so I could show her around what I spend most of my money on. Our home was a medium size. Two bedrooms, Two bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a backyard big enough for about 10 people to gather round in a circle.

"What a gorgeous home you've got here darling," she said complimenting every little detail that we put into it.

"Did Harry tell you that once they are done touring, him and Lou will be living here with us?" I said taking a seat on our couch. Her eyebrow raised, "Louis is going to be living here to? Where is he going to sleep? There is only tw-" Kayla shyly raised her hand a bit. Anne eyes got very wide, but she squealed with so much joy and happiness, "Oh my goodness! You locked that handsome Louis down? How did you do that?" "I honestly could not tell you the answer Anne," she smiled looking down. I knew she was thinking of him. Lately she's been smiling whenever his name is mentioned.

Anne stayed for about 2 hours more, then went home. After she left, I got a text from Harry telling me to check his instagram. When I looked he had posted a picture of me that he took while I was asleep in the New York hotel room. It read, "I know most you may already know, but I would like to introduce you to my gorgeous best friend and girlfriend Macey <3 Her face shall remain a mystery until further notice ;) It's for me to look at, kiss, and love and for you guys not to know cause she is allll mine! x h"

He was so adorable and I sent him many, many hearts and a video of me blowing him kisses. Now Harry and I were officially public.

// I would like to thank those of you that are still reading! It means so much to me :) If I don't post for a few days it's because I'm hitting a block in the writing process. All the Love x J
