Not even him

CHAPTER 7

I was woken by the alarming ringing of my phone. Why can't I just sleep? I grabbed my phone and turned off the alarm. I checked my notifications and there were a LOT of messages from Louis. He was asking if I was ok, IfI needed anything, When I'd be in New York, What time my plane landed, He kept saying he's worried. I guess it was nice to know he cared. I just shot him a quick response saying the time we landed and that I'm fine. Truth being that I wasn't sure when I'd be actually ok.

I got out of bed and changed into something Liam brought me. After getting dressed I headed to the kitchen to get some tea. While I waited for the water to boil I turned on the news. I know I shouldn't but I feel like I should. When I clicked on it It was just the weather super simple. Apparently it's supposed to rain a lot this week and today. Hopefully nothing goes on with the flight. I heard the click of the kettle as I was about to get up. I heard my name on the news.

'Harry styles seen coming out of his management's office building crying. In the photos seen you can see him very distressed. There's also an anonymous source saying they saw him at a hotel that night. Turns out he was very drunk and when they were walking back into their room across the hall they heard screaming coming from his room along with another voice said to be Liam. If this is so we hope you are safe Harry and doing well. This leaves us all wondering if there is trouble in paradise.'

Who the fuck could have heard them? How did they know I was there and How did they know I was drunk? I stayed in my room. I didn't come out for anything. How is it the world hates me so much honestly? I wasn't even upset by this point, just angry. Why does the media feel the need to share everything all the time? I was knocked out of my thoughts by the ding of my phone. It's a text from Louis.it read 'Hey I just saw the news. I know not to believe what they say but if it's true I'm so sorry. I have no idea what Simon said to you but just know I'm here for you no matter what. If you need anything just holler. I hope you have a safe flight and hope when you get here you can explain. All love -Lou'

Oh, how nice. Now the other boys know too. Damn. I wasn't even planning on telling them about what happened. I was going to keep it a secret between me and Liam. Well look now, I have to tell them what happened. Or. Maybe a faltered version of what happened.

I got up and finished my tea. Right when it was cool enough to drink I heard Liam open the door. He set his keys in the bowl by the door then came into the kitchen. He had heard the TV so he knew I must be awake. "Hey, I put your things into the car. We should be all set. I'm ready when you are." "Ok, I think I'm good. I shouldn't have anything here." "Alrighty, I guess off we go!" I quickly put my shoes on and grabbed my phone. Liam locked up and we got into the car and off to the airport. The drive isn't long, only like 30 minutes. I mean we've got our own jet so we shouldn't be too worried about missing it.We were just listening to music. I thought I should tell him about the news. "Um Liam I just thought I should tell you that the boys know what happened the other night. I mean not the full story but bits of it. Apparently someone saw me drunk and heard our yelling. It's anonymous who it was. All they know is I was crying after the meeting and that I was drunk and you were there and we were yelling that's all." I started all rather quickly. He looked at me almost understandingly. "Ok. Is that ok with you? Are you good? I know you probably didn't want to tell them but you'll have to eventually." "Yeah I know. I think it's I just don't want them worrying about me you know. I hate when people worry about me. As for me, I think I'm ok with them knowing. I just don't want to tell them the full story You know? I mean so much has happened I don't want any more bad things to happen. I don't know how much I can take more of." He just listened.

He was a great listener.

I didn't even notice we had pulled up at the airport. As we pulled in we were greeted by 2 security guards. Turns out someone knew we'd be here. There were a million fans all waiting to see us. Good thing we don't have to go through the normal precautions of security since it's a jet that management arranged. Liam and I gave each other a look and sighed giving a nod before we opened our doors. Our security guards immediately got around us. There was someone else getting our luggage. There were a lot of screaming fans everywhere. The closer we got to the entrance the more paps and reporters there were. You were hit by flashing lights and people screaming questions at you. There's a few that stuck out this time though. 'Harry we heard about the other night's comments.?' 'Is it true Simon yelled at you?' 'Why were you at a hotel instead of your flat?' and then there was the one. 'Harry are you really a fag? How could anyone love you, you're not even a good singer!!! No one wants you here. Where's Liam?'

Ah the world just loved me didn't it.
