Obsessed || Harry Styles AU

Chapter 15

Maddy's POV

I desperately tried to fight back tears after I slammed the door to Louis' guest room and flew down the stairs. I thought Harry was more than that. I had been watching his YouTube channel for years. I have always called him my idol. Now all those hours late at night laughing and crying watching him through the computer screen seems like an absolute waste of time. I wish I had never even met him. I could be happy now. I could be excited for his upcoming video this Friday, because I wouldn't know what he was really like in person. I stepped out into the bipolar, cold September air and waved over a taxi. I gave the driver my address, and the tears began to fall silently down my cheeks as I stared out the window. When he arrived in front of my apartment building, I looked away when I handed the driver my money so he wouldn't see my tears. I slammed the taxi door and hugged myself to keep warm as I walked towards the entrance. The lobby was dark and quiet, and I was happy to be alone when I stepped into the elevator. My hand shook as I fiddled with the key to open my door, and I dropped the keys a couple times before successfully making it inside. The apartment was quiet, and I passed Carolyn sleeping on the couch. I quietly crept up the stairs and collapsed into my bed without even changing. I shouldn't be tired because I slept all day, but I have never felt more drained in my entire life.

The Next Morning (6:50 AM)

I clapped my hand down on the clock screaming at me to wake up, and rubbed my eyes while sliding out of bed. I drowsily strolled into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and put my hair into a ponytail to control it. I put some foundation on, and added just a touch of mascara. I slid on gray sweatpants and a tight long-sleeve navy shirt. I grabbed Calum's old varsity soccer jacket out of my closet, and sprayed perfume over myself before heading downstairs. I shook Carolyn to wake her up, and she fell off the couch screaming at me.

"It's 7:00, we have to leave soon," I rolled my eyes as she gave me the finger and crawled back under the blankets.

I scrolled through Instagram and Twitter while eating Cheerios and some toast. After I put the dishes in the dishwasher and finished making my coffee, it was 7:25. Carolyn was still asleep when I walked into the living room, so I poured a glass of water on her head. She slung a seemingly endless stream of curse words at me as she stormed up the stairs to get ready. I sat on the couch and sipped my drink. My phone vibrated and I peered down at it to see a text from Liam.

Hey, Madz do you want me to drive you to school today?

I quickly responded.

Sure, that sounds nice but I didn't know you had a car?

I choked on my coffee at the response Liam sent.

Yeah...um Louis left in the middle of the night last night and bought a car while drunk. He showed up at the dorms at four AM and dragged me out of bed to show me it..I'll see you in ten?

I grinned.

Yep :)

"CAROLYN LIAM'S TAKING US TO SCHOOL HURRY YOUR ASS UP!"

"Chill out man, I'm almost done!"

I finished my coffee and slipped on my sperries, waiting at the front door. I heard Carolyn coming downstairs. I had to bite my lip so I wouldn't laugh when I saw what she was wearing.

"A pink dress? With flowers?" I tried to sound honestly curious when I asked Carolyn about her outfit choice, but she glared at me and I realized it wasn't working.

"I'm just trying something new, don't be an asshole," she rolled her eyes and shoved past me to pick up a pair of my high heels off the ground.

I giggled, and she held her middle finger up at me. I heard knocking on the door and looked through the peephole to make sure it was Louis and Liam. Louis was tugging on Liam's arm like a three year old on a sugar high, and when I opened the door I heard Louis yelling about how the hot boy in his class said hi to him when he saw him in Starbucks.
