Diner Girl *Harry Styles Love Story*

Chapter 40

I watched Harry stare down at his ex-girlfriend as if she were the only person in the world. I felt a large pang in my chest as they stared into each other's eyes. My jealousy was growing by the second and I just wanted to take Harry and bring him back to Anne's. I know he wouldn't cheat on me or do anything to hurt me, but I can't deny that I felt slightly worried when Anne had mentioned Madison was his ex-girlfriend.

"W-what are you doing here?" Harry stuttered with his words, obviously nervous, which made my worries increase.

"I'm shopping with my friends." She pointed to the three other girls behind her. I couldn't help, but notice one of the girls eye me cautiously as if she knew I was Harry's girlfriend and didn't want me to get in the way of their run in. "And may I ask why you are here?" She asked with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at the sight of it.

"I'm shopping with my mum." He pointed towards Anne. I felt an ache grow in the pit of my stomach, realizing that he didn't even mention me. Madison looked behind him, smiling widely at Anne. Anne smiled back and gave her a small wave. Madison returned the favor until her eyes landed on me.

"And who is she?" She pointed towards me. Harry turned his head to look at me and I made a strong effort to give him a glare, informing him that I was not happy.

"Thats my friend, Faith." Friend? Did he really just introduce me as his friend? I felt anger boil up inside of me as I watched them continue to converse as if Anne and I weren't standing here, waiting for him to be done. I darted my eyes from my boyfriend and his ex-girlfriend to her friends behind them. I clenched my fists, holding in the shouts that wanted to escape as they smirked at my irritation.

Harry and Madison decided to finish their conversation after making Anne and I wait for another ten minutes. I was beyond aggravated and about to explode. I wouldn't be surprised if my face was the color of lava bursting out of a volcano from my rage.

"Text me so we can catch up!" Madison shouted to Harry as they parted ways. Harry nodded his head with a bright smile.

"Will do!" He hollered back before turning his body and making his way back to his mother and I. His smile was huge, but once his eyes landed on mine, it disappeared. "What?" He asked, noticing the state I was in. I rolled my eyes at his obliviousness before turning my body away from him and walking towards the restrooms. "What did I do?" I heard him ask, not sure if he was asking Anne or I, but I didn't care.

I continued to walk to the bathrooms before entering the one that had a figure of a girl with a dress on it. I then walked straight for the mirror to take in my appearance. I was thankful that my make up didn't smudge and my hair wasn't a mess. I didn't look too bad, but you could tell that I was not in a good mood. As I stood there, waiting for my anger to decrease, I decided to send Crystal a text, to see what she has been up to.

Hey girl, how is your alone time with Liam? ;) -Faith <3

As I do this, I realize what day it is; July 16th. Its Eleanor's birthday! I totally forgot to call her! I curse under my breath at my forgetful memory as I scroll through my contacts to find her name. Once I do, I click on it and put the phone up to my ear, waiting for her to pick up. I listen to the ringback tone for a couple seconds until a familiar, cheery voice speaks into the device.

"Hello?"

"Happy Birthday Eleanor!" I cheer loudly, not even greeting her. I hear her laugh at the other end of the line.

"Thank you, Faith."

"How has your day been so far?" I ask, hoping that it lightens up her mood towards me. I don't know if she is mad at me for my late call, but I don't want to take the chances.
