A Moment Like This - Harry Styles Love Story.*ON PERMANENT HIATUS*

~24~

~Allison Edwards~

i grinned as I sat off stage to begin opening. we were on our way back to LA, and had stopped in Houston. i fingered the airplane around my neck; the silver pendent hanging around my stomach area. again, harry is a giant. the smooth silver, warm from my body heat, was smooth under the soft skin of my fingertips. but the fans had noticed as well. Harry had taken to feircely defending me from the fans, one or two having been nasty to me in front of him. I wasnt so much hurt as i was appalled; but it DID hurt, especially when i was alone or when on of the other boys wanst with me, like when niall and i had gone shoe shopping the day before yesterday.

FLASHBACK

I had just found a really cute pair of new heels for an awards ceremony, when all of a sudden a really pretty asian girl walked brazenly up to me, with a blonde girl and a readhead trailing behind her with glares across their faces. i glanced around nervously for niall, setting my silk shoes back into the box.

"may i help you, doll?" i said, lacing my voice with sweetness, seeing the asian girl's smile, which seemed pleasent enough.

"pardon us, but are you Allison Edwards, Harry Styles' girlfreind?" i chuckled.

"well, i am allison Edwards, but-"

"stupid slut." the redhead spat. i put my hands up in defense.

"woah, woah, woah, hear me out here..."

"we honestly dont give a fuck what you have to say."  the asian said, cooly and with a calm that gave me the chills. "we dont listen to famewhores. you're only using the boys for your fame." that heated my temper.

"i am not!" i said, gritting my teeth. "those boys are like my family."

"well, obviously you had to get another family, since your own doesnt want you." the blond sneered. "at least we have people that love us." i glared heavily at them.

"my family loves me." i said. "they loved me enough to raise me well enough to walk away from this." i said, grabbing the box and starting to walk away.

"oh, but didnt you hear about you lovely brothers twitter account?" i skidded to a stop, looking back at them with awe.

"what about my brother?" they cackled.

"Nate'sNews? 'the scoop on sixteen years with allison edwards?' she quoted, and the blonde pulled it up on her twitter. she handed me her phone, and i read through the tweets and twitlongers that my own brother had written. i recognized the picture at the top. nate's tenth grade picture. my eyes watered as i read, each word a blow to me. this was my own brother. my baby brother. byt the end of the tweets, i was flat out sobbing. Lies. it was all lies. choking, i faced them again, but not before i saw that nate's followers were up to almost a million.

"Lies, its all lies, i swear to you." i sputtered.

"hmm, sorry bitch, we dont beleive you." the asian said. "and obviously, you arent suitable or worth having harry around."

"harry and i arent dating!" i said, exasperated. they cackled.

"save your breath." snarled the redhead. the blond spat at me, her saliva hitting me in the eye.

"ALLISON!" Niall bellowed, and instantly the girl's faces paled. i beamed when i saw him, but it dissapeared when a cold, brown liquid dripped down my dark curls and onto my cream colored shirt. i looked back at them as i quietly hiccuped. she'd dumped her iced coffee on my head. they laughed as niall ran up.
