Little Rock-Star (GXG)

Chapter 15

(Devon's POV)

The sound of heels catches our attention. We all look at the stairs to see Alex. She's in a tight red dress that shows her legs off. Her brown hair is curled. She has some mascara on and lipstick. My breath hitches as I look at her. She looks so beautiful, but she isn't dressed up for me.

"Hey guys, how do I look?" Alex shyly asks. I can't take my eyes off of her. Fuck.

"Holy shit! You look H.O.T! Styles will be all over that!" Ivy squeals. My jaw clenches at the name of Harry Styles.

"You..l-look. uh. B-beautiful." I stutter out. Heat rushes to my cheeks, causing me to look away.

"Thanks." Alex mumbles with a slight blush on her cheeks. The doorbell rings, indicating he's here.

I stand up and walk to the door before anyone else can. I open it, revealing Harry fucking Styles.

"Well hello there Swift." Harry says, his accent strong. I clench my fists together.

"Hi, Styles," I say. "Alex! He's here!" I shout. I glare at Harry as Alex comes into view.

"I swear to god, Harry. If you hurt her or touch her, I'll rip your throat out." I whisper to him. Harry chuckles and nods.

"Wow, you look fabulous!" Harry comments. I leave them and walk away. I hear the door shut. I walk into the living room and sit down with a huff.

"Devon, you need to cheer up!" Leon says, making me glare at him.

"What's wrong, Devon?" Ivy asks. Only Skylar knows that I love Alex. I guess it's time to confess.

"I love Alex." I mumble. Ivy's eyes widen, along with Ryan and Leon. Skylar sits next to me and puts an arm around me.

"Cheer up. I invited the ladies of Fifth Harmony over to get your mind out of the gutter." Skylar says. I run a hand through my hair.

"You do know that I was fuck buddies with one of them, right?" I mumble. Skylar laughs and nods.

"Which one was it?" Ivy asks, not knowing who.

"You'll find out soon." Ryan says. Ivy nods just as the doorbell rings. I stay on the couch as the other four rush to the door. I hear Ivy squeal, making me know that she just met them. I let tears fall down my face. I hear the voices of them coming closer and closer.

I wipe my tears away just as they come into view. I look down, not wanting to make eye contact with anyone.

"Hey dawg!" Dinah greets me.

"Hi." I mumble and put my head in my hands. I look up as Skylar and Dinah sit next to me.

"Hey Devon!" Ally chirps. I wave at her.

"Hi." Normani says. I nod at her.

"Hello!" Camila shouts, making me flinch.

"Devon." Lauren mumbles.

"Lauren." I mumble back. I hear everybody stifle a laugh, except Ivy because she doesn't know. Her face then comes to realization.

"Oh! She's the one you hooked up with!" Ivy shouts, making me roll my eyes.

"Congratulations, want a cookie?" I harshly ask, making Ivy flinch. I sigh and lean back into the couch. 

I wonder what Alex and Harry are doing. They could be at a movie theatre, a club, dinner..or at his place. Ew. I swear if Harry does hurt Alex in any way, I will fucking kill him and embarrass him. I don't give a shit about his reputation. If anyone hurts Alex, including one of the band members, I will not hesitate to hurt them. I can't imagine Harry and Alex cuddling, kissing or holding hands. It just makes my heart break and tears come into my eyes.

"Devon? You okay?" Ally asks, noticing tears in my eyes. Everybody looks at me. I wipe my tears away.

"Uh..yeah. I just uh, zoned out. Thinking." I quickly respond.

"Where's Alex?" Camila asks, making me groan and close my eyes. I blink the tears away.

"On a dat-out with Harry Styles." Ivy says, quickly changing the word date because of me.

"Ooh, get it Alex!" Dinah shouts. I bite my lip, trying not to cry.

"10 bucks they kiss tonight!" Normani bets. That's it. I can't deal with this. Not with them talking about Harry and Alex. I quickly stand up, causing everyone to look at me. My breathing gets heavy as I try not to cry. I swallow the lump in my throat and walk upstairs. I walk out onto the balcony. I kick the chair, making it fall down.

"Why? What did I do wrong?" I cry out to no one. I let the tears stream down my face. I kick another chair down.

"I fucking love her and she has to go out with Harry Styles? Why him? Why couldn't the guy be someone better! Out of all of the people it's Styles! He's just going to hurt her!" I cry to myself. I slide down the wall and burry my head in my knees.

"You really do love her, hm?" A voice says. I look up and it's Lauren. 

"I don't have time for your bullshit, Lauren." I mumble and put my head back down.

"I'm serious, Devon. I'm here as a friend, not anything else. Do you love her?" Lauren asks me. She sits down next to me.

"Yes. God I love her so fucking much it hurts. And then she has to go out with Harry Styles." I confess, tears still falling.

"Does she know you love her?" Lauren asks.

"No, but she knows I like her. One night, we kissed. The next day she ignores me. Later, we kiss again, and then she tells me she isn't gay. I'm starting to think that she didn't like the kiss. Every time I talk to her, my stomach turns upside down. Every time she touches me, I get this burning sensation in my heart. Even when I look at her, or hear her laugh, it makes me smile and my heart flutter. And the weird thing is, I never felt this before. But I know I love her." I explain, looking down. Lauren doesn't say anything, making me look up.

My eyes widen as I see everyone there, including Alex. I swallow the lump in my throat as I lock eyes with her.

"Awkward.." Camila sings. Dinah slaps her arm, making her whimper. I ignore them and stare at Alex. Lauren stands up and walks away from me. I get up, rubbing the back of my neck as I look at Alex. Alex stands there with her eyebrows furrowed.

"..Alex..?" I choke out. Alex looks at me, then the ground.

"I-I can't.." Alex mumbles.

"What..why?" I ask her, tears threating to fall.

"Because Harry Styles is my boyfriend."
