Chapter 25
Back to the real world

*** 6 months later ***

"Helen are you coming out of the bathroom or are you throwing up again?"
"Two secs" I said wiping my face, I didn't know what was wrong with me, for the past couple of days I had been throwing up, I've put it down to the bad kebab me and Dougie shared after we went to the cinema to watch Lizards Fight Back. I went to the cinema with Doug as no-one else wanted to see the move with him and it was a pretty cool movie but pretty cheesy at the same time. But it was much better than being at home staring at 4 walls. I can't go out without being spotted. The only time I go out is to the pool for training and that is early mornings and evenings till late. Me and Harry keep our evenings romantically occupied, and have done for ages ever since I said Yes. I think that gave us our spark back. But we have had interview after interview with magazines and offers after offers for exclusive wedding stuff and deals and magazines.

I don't want a designer dress. I don't want the press in my face. I just want to have some time for us that doesn't mean were stuck in this sodding house.
"Helen are you ok?"
"Yeah" I whimpered
"Ok. Im coming in" Harry came through the door to see me collapsed on the floor sobbing "Hey…. Hey… whats up?"
"I need to get out of this house for more than just training…. I want to be able to do what I want to do…. Be able to choose what I want to wear and not have stuff sent to us…. Im fed up with this"
"ok I'll have a word with some people"
"No! You don't understand…. Im fed up with this! All of this!"
Harry looked quite taken back by this "Are you leaving me?"
"No im not I just need some time to think and I want you to come with me. Let's leave everything for just a week" Harry looked at me hugged me and was gone.

Next thing I knew our cases were packed. Phones were switched off and we were off to the airport, literally leaving everything behind and not telling anyone where we were going. The band didn't have a clue. Parents didn't know. Did we care. Not in the slightest. Our flight to Australia was at 4am so no one was in the airport. No press. No fans. Only commuters and holiday makers. No-one stopped Harry for autographs or pictures. It was the best check-in in the world.

The flight was a breeze including our 6hr stopover in Singapore. Because no-one knew we were coming no-one was waiting for us. We got a taxi from Melbourne airports to an apartment on the outskirts of the city. It was an amazing view. Countryside and deserted views for miles and miles. Then we switched on out phones…. Why oh why did we switch on our phones…. But good job we couldn't contact any of them as it was lunchtime here which meant it was midnight back home…. HAHA! We decided we would leave them to stew for a day then see what they did. It felt so wrong yet so right to have run away from everything and everyone. It's so nice to just have the time to ourselves and be a normal couple who were happily engaged. It rekindled everything that we needed to. I've never known Harry to act so passionate ever…. At a restaurant… on the beach…. In bed….. god that was even better that the first time. And still no-one knows we are here. We haven't spoken to anyone. We have just lazed around the apartment and the beach. Not a camera or fan in sight it was bliss.

Hey guys i know its been a while. Hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you think HelR10
