Sienna POV

Claire.

Claire. 

Claire.

Her name repeats in my mind from the moment I walk into my house to the moment my ass sits on my bed. If my mind is taken off of the name Michelle said, it would slip thru my memory and I wouldn't be able to sleep. Hell, I might not be able to sleep regardless.

I kick off my shoes and lean back on my mattress. I go to instagram, then to Harry's page. I scroll thru his photos, thoroughly, looking at the girls he has tagged, and so far, nothing. He doesn't have much on his feed. 20 photos, and most of them are him with dudes.

I go to his following and type the letters "CL" and nothing. So her username isn't Claire whatever, which makes this search even more stressful. I then type in common usernames that are associated with instagram. "xoclaire", nothing. "clairexoxo" nothing. 

"Hm," I let out, trying not to seem beaten already. "Erialc" pops up, and the profile picture is a blonde girl smiling. I can't really make out her face because it is so small, but from this photo she looks pretty.

Claire backwards. I am trying not to judge. 

I click on the account and see all of Harry's lake house friends follow her, but her account is private so I can't stalk. Her full name is Claire Esposito and her bio is nothing.

As soon as I was going to search her up on Facebook, I see a VSCO link attached. I try to hide my amusement, as well as the fact I feel like a psychopath right now.

I click the link and wait for her account to load. The first photo to appear is her and her dog, or what I assume is her dog. The next one is her and her friends at the beach, next one is more of her and the dog. I take a big scroll down until I see what I am looking for.

I see a photo of her and Harry, smiling. His hand is slipped around her and they are both in soccer uniforms. This photo is from two years ago, and I can tell it is older by how much younger he looks. Her eyes are a bright blue and her blonde hair is pulled into a ponytail. She looks to be around my height, but she is wearing cleats so I am not sure. 

I scroll up and find another photo of them from two years ago. This one they are outside somewhere and she is on his back. Innocent friends from what I see.

Claire.

Claire.

This was the close friend Harry told me about a few weeks ago.

Relief settles over me when I realize I am stalking his childhood friend from back home. I smile to myself and feel my heart rate calm down. But why would this matter to Michelle?

I scroll up and up until I find a photo of them kissing. I bite my lower lip and see that this was tagged from last year.

I keep going up and up and see more couple photos of them. The one that stings my eye is the one from their graduation in May, where they are kissing again. Two months ago, right before Lake George. 

From this photo too now, what happened?

I close out of VSCO and head to Facebook. I type in her name and she is the first to pop up. It is her graduation photo with Harry, so it really wasn't hard to find.

I read her account and it says she is going to Muhlenberg College in PA and currently works at a cafe in their town.

In relationship with Harry Styles. 

The pit forms in my stomach again and now I feel like crying. I take a screenshot and keep searching.

Her most public post is on Harry's birthday where it is two photos of them. One from where they are children, to one of them hugging recently. The captain states "From 8 to 18 you have been my person. I love you so. (insert corny film quote)"

Now I feel like throwing up.

I lock my phone and screw my eyes shut. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck.

It is currently three a.m and I know I should be sleeping. I have so many questions that need so many answers.

I unlock my phone and quickly type.

Me: hey

Harry: why are you up lol

Me: can we talk

Harry: um, I am trying to sleep lovely. tomorrow? 

Me: why didn't u tell me u and ur childhood bff dated

Me: or are dating?

Harry: can we talk tomorrow . I am not lucid to explain rn

Harry: we aren't together, hence why I am seeing u

Harry: did u insta stalk. her account is private so idk how u know these things 

Me: her Facebook is semi public

Me: it looked like u guys were dating right when graduation was. so suddenly ur single?

Harry: this isn't the convo to have over text Sienna

Harry: we will talk before I go out tomorrow, ok? nothing to freak out over

Me: who said I was freaking out. I am just trying to figure out how Michelle knows anything n why u failed to mention u have a thing for childhood friends

Harry: goodnight Sienna. I will be over at eight.

I roll my eyes and put my phone on charge.

Eight a.m. Five hours till my anxiety attack.
