Emily’s POV
It’s been three days since I was released from the hospital. We were currently in Los Angeles, California and it’s my last day on the tour with the boys. I decided to go home with my brother and father for a while to get away from all of the stresses that come with being in the spotlight. It’s going to be hard being away from the boys for four months, but they had a career and I unfortunately didn't anymore. I walked to the stage area where I knew the boys were waiting to go on, deciding to surprise them by showing up to the concert when they thought I was at the hotel packing for my flight the next afternoon. Liam was the first one to notice me as I walked up. I put my index finger to my lips telling him to be quiet and he nodded, acting like he didn’t see anything. Harry had his back to me and was staring off into space. A grin appeared on my lips as I snuck up behind him. The boys, having all seen me at this point, held back their smiles so they wouldn’t give me away. I counted to three then jumped on Harry’s back, making him yelp in surprise.
“What the- Emily!” he said with a smile. “You came!”
I slid off his back, allowing him to turn around and wrap his arms around me. He pressed his soft lips to mine before giving me a hug.
“I’m glad you’re here” he whispered into my hair.
“Boys. Two minutes” Paul said as he walked over. “Oh, hi Emily. Didn’t expect you to be here”
I smiled and wrote ‘Surprise!’ on my board before showing it to them. They laughed and each of the boys gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek before getting ready to run on stage. Harry looked back at me with a smile on his face. I erased my board then quickly wrote something dead before showing it to him.
‘Break a leg’ He laughed and shook his head.
“That’s the last thing I need” I rolled my eyes, the smile on my face growing wider.
The music started and Harry turned, running after the boys onto the stage.
~.:o:.~
“How is everyone doing tonight?!” Louis said into the microphone.
The crowd screamed in response causing the boys to smile.
“This next song has become very special to us in the past week. It reminds us of how close we came to losing one of our dear friends, and how lucky we are to have her with us. Tonight, we dedicate this song to Emily. This is You and I” Liam said.
I smiled from my place next to Paul. We were standing to the left of the stage in front of the barriers. As the music started playing I felt tears in my eyes. Damn them. They knew this song makes me emotional enough as it is. It got worse when I saw Harry staring back at me with so much love in his eyes. Liam’s voice echoed through the arena as he sang. “I figured it out
I figured it out from black and white
Seconds and hours
Maybe they have to take some time.." Harry didn’t look away from he as he sang his part, eyes becoming watery.
He poured his heart into every word and it made me cry even more. By the time the song ended both Harry and I had tears streaming down our cheeks. He lifted that hand that wasn’t holding his microphone and signed to me. ‘I love you’
Harry’s POV
I kept my eyes on her the whole time we sang the song, and seeing her crying made me emotional as well. The song reminded me of everything that I felt for her. No matter what happened we always made it through it together, and like the song said, nothing could come between us. I won't allow anything to break us apart. Ever since I stormed out of the meeting with management I have been more determined than ever to hold onto her. There was no way that I was giving up without a fight and now they knew it. The boys thankfully backed me up and we all agreed that if anything happened to Emily because of them we would fight for her. She was a part of our family and they would just have to get over it.
The concert ended and I quickly showered and changed my clothes before running out to find Emily. Tonight was my last night with her and I was determined to spend every moment of it with her. My eyes scanned the room, but found no sign of her. I was about to send her a text when I felt someone poke my side. I spun around, finding my grinning girlfriend looking back at me. A smile appeared on my face and I gave her a kiss on the cheek.
“Hey you. Ready to get out of here?” I asked her.
She nodded, slipping her hand into mine and intertwining our fingers. I smiled and we walked out to the VIP parking lot where the car I rented was parked. Emily raised her eyebrows and wrote something on her board.
‘A ferrari convertible? Really?'
“Are you being sarcastic or...” Emily waved her hand dismissively at me and got in.
I chuckled before getting in the driver’s side. As we pulled out of the parking lot and stopped at a red light she wrote something on her board then showed it to me.
‘Where are we going?'
“It’s a surprise” I said with a grin.
She huffed and turned to look out the window. She may act like she doesn’t like surprised, but I knew she loved them.
Emily’s POV
I looked out the window as we drove through the streets of LA. The sun was just beginning to set over the ocean, the sky becoming different colors like pink, purple, and blue. I’ve always loved sunsets. I used to sit on the roof of my house and watch it go down every night. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t realize we had stopped until Harry opened the door I was leaning on, causing me to jump back so I wouldn’t fall. He chuckled and held out his hand to me.
“We’re here” he said.
I took his hand and stepped out of the car, then looked around to find that we were at the beach. Harry grabbed something from the trunk, then turned to me with a smile.
“Come on”
We walked out onto the beach and he laid out a blanket for us to sit on then set a cooler down on it. I gave him a confused look, but he just grinned back at me. He pulled two bowls of my favorite ice cream out of the cooler which made me smile. He knew that I loved me some strawberry cheesecake ice cream. I took one of the bowls and a spoon from him and dug in. Sweet strawberry heaven. My face must have been pretty hilarious, because Harry burst out laughing as soon as I stuck the spoon in my mouth.
“I’m sorry, but your face is hilarious whenever you eat this” I smacked him in the chest which just made him laugh more. That’s it. I scooped up some ice cream with the spoon and stuck it on his cheek. He gasped and looked at me.
“You did not just do that” he said.
I gave him my best innocent face, but it didn't help. Seconds later I felt the ice cold desert being squished into my face. I gasped and Harry just laughed.
"That's what you get" he said with a grin.
I let out a silent laugh. It was still so weird that I couldn't talk, laugh, or make any sound, but I was getting used to it. I grabbed my board to tell Harry not to waste the ice cream and showed it to him. He grinned and leaned in close to me.
"You're right. We can't let it go to waste" He licked the ice cream off my cheek and I jumped back with a disgusted look on my face.
He knew I hated that. He just laughed at me.
"Alright, I'm sorry. Here, you can do it to me" he said pointing to his ice cream covered cheek.
I shook my head, knowing that he would probably enjoy it. He pouted, but I just smirked at him. Ha. That's what you get Styles. He wiped his cheek with his sleeve and shot me a playful glare. I just smiled at him before taking another bite of ice cream. He chuckled and shook his head. After we finished our ice cream I saw Harry pull a small black box out of his coat pocket. My eyes widened at the sight of it. Oh no. Please tell me he's not proposing.
"Don't worry. I'm not proposing. We'll save that for a later date" he said with a cheeky grin. "This is a promise ring"
He opened the box revealing a beautiful silver and gold ring. It had two hearts on it. A large silver one, then a smaller gold one inside of it. I took it out to admire it and noticed an engraving on the inside. 'Always in my heart'. Harry let me admire it for a moment before taking it and sliding it onto my finger.
"I promise you that I will always love and protect you. That I will always come back for you, and I will be thinking about you every moment that we're apart. I promise that I won't let anyone come between us, and that one day I'll be waiting at the altar when you walk out in white. You mean the world to me and I love everything about you. I love you so much"
I didn't realize I was crying until he reached up to wipe the tears away. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't even describe the emotions I was feeling in that moment. So instead of telling him I showed him. I grabbed onto his shirt and pulled him forwards, pressing our lips together. His hands slid down to my waist while I moved mine up through his hair. We kissed like our lives depended on it and when we finally pulled away we were both breathless.
"I'm gonna miss you. We'll have to Skype and text every day. I don't think I'll be able to go a day without seeing your beautiful face" Harry said.
I smiled and nodded before snuggling up next to him. We both looked out over the water at the sunset that spread color across the darkening sky. I laid my head on Harry's shoulder, and we sat there silently just enjoying each other's company. Everything was perfect.
