Secrets

"Oh fuck off Styles."

"Language! And it was just a joke!"

We were currently cuddled up on the couch together, and Harry had decided to tease me about Zach. I mean, no, we weren't dating or anything, but I might have some feelings for him.

We've been texting a lot lately, but he keeps sending me mixed signals and Harry noticed my discomfort. Stupid Harry. This didn't mean that I didn't like Harry. It was just complicated. Ugh.

"Mhm, sure. Have fun with Taylor though. And remember, if you're going to get a room, bring some condoms. I have no intention for my brother to become an uncle at the age of 21," I cackled, grabbing a pillow to shield myself for what's to come.

"Hey! Oh it is on Tommo!"

"On like donkey kong?"

"On like King Kong!" I grabbed his leg and pulled him off the couch while running up the stairs as he tried to get up off the ground. Running to my room, I slammed the door and hid in my walk in closet.

A couple seconds later, I heard footsteps come in and walk around the room, searching for something. When they stopped, I deemed it safe to come out and slowly creamed open the door.

"Gotcha!" Harry jumped out at me and grabbed me, hauling me to my bed.

"No fair! I thought you had left!" I whined. He laughed.

"It's called smarts, Bells. You should try it sometime." I rolled my eyes and collapsed onto the bed, exhausted from our escapade.

The rest of the boys were out grabbing lunch, so Harry and I were left alone in the 1D house.

"Shit, Bella what time is it?" Harry asked, suddenly sitting up.

"Language!" I teased, mimicking what he had said to me earlier. He growled.

"Not funny. Seriously though, what time is it?" Rolling my eyes, I turned on my phone briefly.

"Only 12:47, why?" Harry immediately sprang up and rushed out the door, muttering curse words under his breath.

"What's wrong?!" I yelled from the doorway, confused as to why he abandoned me.

"I had a date with Taylor at 12:45; I accidentally blew off the first one. Management is gonna kill me!" He said while rushing out the door, slamming it behind him.

"Bye?" I mumbled, staring at the door.

Bored, I decided to watch some Vampire Diaries. Halfway through the episode, Elena decided to run after Stephan into a vampire brawl, even though she was human. She wanted to help him, even if it meant giving up her own life. But then Damon saw her, so he ran off to save her and Stefan because he loves her,even thought Stephan and Elena are together.

It's just so sad to me. When someone does something for the person they love, only to have them run off and give their all to someone else right after. I didn't even realize I was crying until I felt a splat on my leg. I quickly changed the channel to some celebrity gossip column to see Harry's face plastered on the screen.

Intrigued, I turned the volume up and listened.

"Insider sources have just confirmed Harry Styles and Taylor Swift together in downtown London. The newly announced couple were seen strolling the streets and taking a ride on the London Eye, with a little more than just the view that made Ms. Swift's day," the announcer said, cueing a video to play.

Harry and Taylor were on the Ferris wheel, and they were smiling at each other, brighter than he had ever smiled at me...

At the top, the machine paused, and Harry started pointing out the views to her, showing the royal palace, the river, and the O2 arena.
