TOWNES' POV
I ran down the hall to Harry's dressing room where everyone was waiting for me. It was the last of the rescheduled shows before Harry was back in the UK. I pushed open the door and smiled big at the sight, my grandma, Anne and Gemma all sat on the couches talk with each other.
"Sorry! My hair was not working with me today, at all." I smiled walking over and hugging my grandma first before greeting Anne and Gemma.
"Well I think you look lovely!" Anne smiled at me and I smiled back.
"Thank you Anne. Where's Harry?" I said looking around.
"He had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction, his pants ripped as he sat down. He has a fat ass apparently." Gemma teased and I couldn't help but laugh, Anne and my grandma laughing too.
"I swear, that man and those pants. Didn't it happen twice while they all were in Brazil?" I said raising an eyebrow and Gemma nodded.
"Both days!" she cackled and Anne hit her softly.
"Be nice! He's really stressed about it." Anne said and Gemma rolled her eyes.
"Well he needs to wear bigger pants then!" She shrugged and as she did Harry walked in the room. He looked over at me and smiled big, making his way over and hugging me tightly.
"I was worried you got lost." he teased and I chuckled, kissing his cheek.
"My hair, it wasn't cooperating with me."
"Well you look beautiful," he smiled stupidly at me.
"Thank you."
"Of course, girlfriend," he kissed my nose and I couldn't help but blush.
We had made it official the night after is album party. Neither one of us felt like waiting, neither one of us thought it would be wrong if we just took the next step. We had already been through so much, we survived it all. It was what felt fair and right for the both of us.
"You two make me sick." Gemma said pretending too gag and I cracked up.
I shrugged, "I'll make sure to supply you with a barf bag."
She rolled her eyes and laughed, "Yeah, yeah."
"So I was thinking we all get a late dinner after the show? More family bonding and to celebrate the last show in the states." Anne suggest and I nodded.
"I like the sound of that, cause I have to pack all day tomorrow, won't really have time to hang out much." Harry said and I peeked up at him.
"Why am I not surprised that you haven't started packing." I shook my head and he shrugged.
"What are you all ready?" He smiled and I nodded.
"Yes, I'm going to relax all day tomorrow and make grams make me some home cooked BBQ before I leave." I smirked and he rolled his eyes.
I had also agreed to go on the rest of the tour with him. I always knew I was going, always knew I wanted to go, it was just about getting my head out of my ass.....and also hoping that Harry had actually changed. I believed he had, and felt safe enough to follow through with this.
"Well, you'll just have to help me then because I want BBQ too. That jackfruit from last time Aileen....delicious." Harry smiled and my grandma shook her head.
"Well if that's the case, everyone should just come over then. The more the merrier." She smiled and Anne nodded.
"I would love that Aileen."
"Perfect. It's set then!"

The energy of the crowd was amazing, the vibe of it being the last US show could be felt coming from everyone. The crowd was loud and magnetic, the signs hilarious. Harry played Carolina as a surprise before closing out the show and the crowd teased me the entire time causing me to roll my eyes.
"Give it up for Carolina Townes, everyone! She finally heard me....and she'll be back with the band for the rest of the tour!" The crowd cheered and I waved, blowing kisses.
We closed out the show and took our final bow as a band before exiting the stage, giving high fives to people as we did. I jumped on Pauli's back and he carried me out of the rest of the way.
"I'm glad you're back Townie, I felt like the vibes finally aligned on that stage, it was the same without you." He smiled at me and I kissed the top of his head.
"It feels good to be back too. I can't lie and say I didn't miss it and all of you."
"You better have," he said as we got to the dressing rooms, letting me get off his back. The moment I touched the floor Sarah had her arms around me.
"I can't believe we are done with this part of the tour, and you're back, and I'm engaged. AND YOU'RE HARYY'S GIRLFRIEND," she smiled brightly and I nodded hugging her back.
"It's like everything is right in the world again." I smiled and she nodded, letting me go.
"To think, we all started as strangers, and now, look at us. Family." she smiled and I nodded.
"For life." I smiled and Harry quickly wrapped his arms around my waist, kissing my cheek.
"Well mates, it's time for the next adventure."
"I can't wait." I smiled at him, kissing his cheek.
THE END
