The Love Game (Harry Styles)

Chapter 22

*Jane's POV*

I sat there on the couch for what seemed like hours, just thinking. I told Harry I believed him when the gossip show told the lie about him and Marie. But I'm not too sure what to believe anymore.

"Hey." Marie walks with a smile. She closes the door, puts the keys in her purse, and then looks at me with concern.

"Hey are you alright?" she walks over and sits next to me.

"What were you guys doing in the park?" I asked quietly.

"Jay, what are you-"

"I mean, what were you guys doing in the park?" I said more clearly and louder.

"Who me and Harry? Jay we were just talking. That's it. Oh and we visited the old house. It's really creepy now." She said, in attempt to cheer me up. I sigh, feeling like a ton of bricks was lifted off my shoulders. I knew Marie since we were in diapers, I would know when she would be ling and this is not the case.

"Why what's wrong?" she asks. I told her everything that Harry and I saw on the T.V while she was gone.

"And you really believed that nonsense? Remember when that show said I dated Taylor Lautner before dating Niall? It's just full of bullshit, I'm telling you." Her phone buzzed in her purse and she takes it out. Her eyes widen when she unlocks it and sees what had her notifications crazy. I look over and I see a ton of tweets, retweets, and mentions about her and Harry, calling her all these names.

"You have got to be kidding me." I said as she continued to scroll through her feed.

"The fans find out quick." She mumbled.

"Yea, no kidding." Then my phone buzzed in my back pocket. I look through my feed and it was a whole bunch of apologies, and every so often, hate from the same people. Marie's phone then buzzed continually, showing she's getting a call.

"Niall? Yes I've seen them. No obviously they're not true. Niall. Babe. Honestly do you ever think I would ever do that to you?" she sighs annoyed. I giggle a little and she glares at me.

"Do I have to be there to say it in your face? Fine then. I'll see you then. Love you." She clicks her phone and groans.

"Jay, can you drive me to the airport in like an hour or so?" I smiled a bit at her frustration. Niall was defiantly a jealous type, but I think she's over exaggerating by going over there. I also think she's going because she misses him the same.

"Sure." My phone continued to buzz. I look over and see now their tweets from our friends in America, defending us.

"Hey, look, the old gang are sticking up for us." I showed her the tweets and she smiles a bit.

"I miss them." She says, getting up.

"Yea, me too." We stay quiet for a bit. Then Marie walks to her room to pack some stuff. My phone buzzed multiple times. I check and see that it's my little sister, Alex, back in the U.S.

"J-Jane?" cries Alex.

"Al? What's wrong?" Her small voice was barely audible but I still hear her loud and clear. I drop my phone, stunned.

"Jane?" I could hear her on the other line, trying to figure out what happened, but she gives up and hangs up. Marie walks out of her room with a small suitcase.

"Jane? What happened?" she asked worriedly.

"S-She died." I choked out. Marie runs over and hugs me tightly.

"I- I need to go home." I choked out. She nods quickly and calls Harry while I break down on the couch.
