Gotta Be You (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 21

"Great job, Ed!" Jas screamed as she ran to hug him as he came off the stage from his performance.

"Uh... Thanks," he awkwardly said as she all but squeezed the life out of him. I guess I never really realized her love for him...

"You did so amazing!" She squealed into his chest like an absolute child. I swear I even heard her whisper an "I love you" in there.

We could hear the screams from the large arena growing louder with each second. Finally the music for their opening number, Up All Night, blared through the speakers and the crowd erupted with the excited shrieks of all the girls and maybe a few guys... Finally the boys' voices became evident and it was near impossible to hear them.

When Harry's voice took over and I felt a few kicks in my lower stomach. They always did this when they heard him sing, maybe because they knew who he was. I placed my hand on my stomach and decided it would be best to leave and go into one of the dressing rooms or something. I got up from the couch, received a weird look from Jas, shrugged it off then went to look for a place to relax and away from the loud noises.

Finally I found a open door, and the room had a red couch against the wall, facing the large mirror over the huge countertop filled with the largest assortment of cosmetics. I tall woman with nearly white hair, but she couldn't be more than 30 or something, was putting away the products while a small child played on the floor with toys.

"You must be Alli," she said ,with her strong british accent, without looking up from her work.

"Yep. That's my name, I was christened with it," I smiled as she slightly chuckled. She turned around and walked over to me and pulled me into a hug.

"I'm Lou Teasdale, the boys' stylist, it's nice to finally meet you," she pulled away and picked up the baby that was making gurgling noises, "And this is Lux." She was probably the cutest baby ever! She was sucking on her small hand and looking at me with wide eyes.

"Halli!" She shouted out as she reached out for me. Lou easily let me take her and place her on my hip.

"Sorry about Lux; she's been held nonstop today since Taylor tried to hold her," I couldn't help but to hold back a snicker, "Don't like her either?" She questioned knowingly.

"Well duh. She hurts every guy that she dates and writes a song making them look like the bad guy."

"You still love him," she stated instantly.

"Haha you're funny. He doesn't matter anymore to me. I just don't want him to get the bad publicity, like he always does," well I do sorta love him but I'll have angry buttsex with satan before I admit that.

"Keep telling yourself that," she paused, "he still loves you though," I couldn't help but to scoff at that statement.

"If he loved me, we wouldn't be in this situation."

"Hmm... Sure," Lux began to wriggle in my arms, "here lemme take her," she carefully took her out of my arms and placed her on her hip. "Sit," she motioned to the red couch and I followed her orders. Once I was sat down, she joined me and held Lux on her lap. "He's fake dating Taylor."

"Uh... What? They seem pretty cozy and shit and she seems to be pretty into it."

"NoNo, it's all set up by their managements before you broke up. Y'know... They thought you would break up with him..." She paused and handed something to Lux, "Louis and Jas are just trying to help you both. Just go with what they say." I slowly nodded my head, taking in everything that she just told me.

"Uh... I think I'm gonna go save Ed from Jas..." she chuckled and motioned for me to go.

"Go, you'llprobably need to do more than save him."
