Blind Alley

Chapter 11 (Present)

****THIS IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE FIRST CHAPTER******

"Well, there have been a lot of speculation and rumors over the years...."

Louis began. Speaking loud and clear for every single one in the audience to hear. I leered over at our employee from management. He was frowning with a really confused face. I couldn't help but to smirk at the thought of his face in a couple of seconds. I have never before seen the crowd this quiet and observing before. It was a spectacular sight. Everyone had their phones up in the air, trying to capture the moment. Seems like most of them already knew what was about to happen. They are more prepared for this than we can ever be. Louis walked over to me and continued speaking.

"Some of you have been saying that my girlfriend isn't real and.... " He begun. This was it. It was happening. My heart started raising. He looked me in the eyes before finally saying it. I tried to swallow my anxiousness. No turning back now.

"And i'm happy to announce that,,, You couldn't be more right, cause... Well... Me and Harry are... together."

I couldn't believe it. It was finally out there. It was said, and we could not take it back. I didn't know what to expect. But i sure as hell didn't expect this. As my heart skipped a beat while i was staring into the eyes of the love of my life, i suddenly heard the crowd screaming louder than ever. I slowly turned to see their happy faces. Tears of joy were filling the place. They soon started cheering "Larry" and i had never before felt more accepted. My mouth was left speechless. I turned to the boys and they all looked so proud. Liam, Zayn and Niall were all standing on the other side of the stage applauding us. Of what i could see it seemed like Niall och Liam were tearing up as well. Zayn also looked really happy for us. Louis stepped even closer to me and put down his microphone.

"Don't you want to say anything?" He asked with a smile on his face brighter than ever.

"Yeah... I love you"

I said. His smile became even bigger and i couldn't help but to lean in and kiss him. Gently. The crowd went wild. And just for that moment.... Everything seemed perfect.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?"

Robert screamed as soon as we had gotten backstage. Louis and i were way to happy to even care about what our stupid management had to say at this point. Louis just walked past them without even giving them a second look. So i followed and did the same thing. But when i did Robert grabbed my arm with a really rough grip. I turned around struck by the anger in his eyes and sudden strength in his hand.

"Do you realize what you have done?" He said with a raspy starteling voice.

"You're hurting me. Let go"

I pleaded. I'm not weak, i can hurt this guy if i want to. But it just isn't in my nature, i feel like you can handle things more civilized than that. As soon as Louis noticed what was going on he hurried and removed Roberts hand in one harsh quick motion. As his big hand finally let go of my wrist i felt a really uncomfortable cramp in the wounded area.

"Don't you dare put a finger on him"

He threatened looking him straight dead in the eyes. Robert suddenly didn't look as cocky as before. The anger that Louis gets when defending me is really intimidating. Suddenly Paul came and got in the middle of them so no fights would accour. Louis left the situation to come check up on me. He put his hands on my shoulders and tried to catch my gaze.

"Are you hurt?" He asked.

"No, it's fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah"

I answered. And suddenly a big smile grew upon my face. Louis seemed confused at first but then he thought the same thing that i did. We were finally free. Nothing really matters except that. The boys came running in and jumped into one big group hug. They have waited and known about this as long as we have. So here they were. Happier than ever that their best friends could finally be themselves in front of the world. We would never again be forced to tell a lie. I leered over to the other side and noticed Eleanor standing there next to our manager. He had his arms crossed and she just smiled. And slowly a smile grew upon his faee as well. There was nothing left to do. It was too late. It was out there, and no one can take that back.
