Chapter 8

Okayyyyy.... so in this story, Harry and Kendall doesnt date but Kendall is crushing on him. I dont have anything against Kendall, I love her and she's beautiful, but just for the sake of the story. She's really nice and I know that, but as I said,it's just for the sake of the story.

"You ready, Ari?" Lexie asked me, I looked at the mirorr and smiled. I can do this.

"Yeah, I'm ready" I smiled at her and took my purse, and walked out of the room with her. We descended down the staircase, and my mom and brother, Frankie, was there waitng for me. I wore a black leather mini dress, that had a big zipper on the side, and some black boots. It was my outfit for the MTV VMA awards. I knew that this was a big step, and a big evolution. I confess, it's been a little hard for the public to take in this. I'm not that preppy flirty floral girl that was a nickelodeon star. I wanted to be a pop singer, and that is what I'm doing now.

I'm comfortable, and I dont have to pretend to be someone I'm not. And I'm really excited. Except for the fact that me and Harry were gonna go to the awards together for the public's eye to be focused on us. I dont want them to have all their focus on me, especially with my arm draped with his.

I still get a little uncomfortable with him, we made an arrangement, and I was supposed to follow it.

"Wow, Ariana, You look amazing!" Frankie gushed, "Ari, you ready to go?" I nod, and just like that, a honk came from outside. I knew who it was.

"Hello?" Harry's raspy voice echoed, "Hello Harry" mom and Frankie has no idea that he was a threat to me back then, and I dont know if they should know.

"I'm Joan, Ariana's mom" Harry shook her hand, "And I'm Fankie, her brother" And did I mention they dont know that we're fake dating?

"I'm Alexa" she said, I nervously looked at her. She was glaring at him, and shooting arrows at him in her mind, "Alexa" he remembers her. I can tell. By the nervousness in his voice, he wasnt very happy to see her again.

"Well, let's go?" He said, holding out his hand for mine. I took deep breaths, and took it, faking a smile, "I'll meet you there, k Ari?" said Frankie, I nodded and said goodbye, but not before looking at Alexa. She mouthed 'You can do this' then said goodbye.

"You look good" he said, as we were getting into his limo, "Yeah, you too" he was dressed in a black suit, but a few of the buttons of his shirt was unbuttoned, all black I guess. Just like mine.

"Where are the boys?" I asked, trying to make conversation, I'm still mad at him. Trust me, I can hold a grudge for a long time. "They're meeting us there"

"Oh" then I stared at the window quietly as we were on our way to the venue. "I see you and Alexa are still close huh?"

"Yeah well, she has been with me through--" I didnt finish the sentence since he already knew what I was gonna say, "Oh, look Ariana"

"Look okay, this is just an act. Pretend. I thought I was over pretending, especially since Nathan, so please" I ranted, then I looked back at the window.

"I'm sorry. I really am. We really are, but you gotta understand I do have reason"

"Sorry doesnt cut it. And if you do have a reason, I don't look forward to it" then I was quiet. The whole drive was quiet, as he was on the other side and I was far away from him as possible. We arrived, and was about to walk the red carpet. Photographers and paparazzis were there, and along with some fans.

"You ready for this?" he said, looking at me but I wasnt looking at him, I was still looking outside. "Yeah" he held my hand, and we got out of the car. But as soon as we got out, they all screamed louder than before.

We walked the red carpet, then stopped for the pictures. We took a couple of shots together, like him draping his hands around me or around my waist. Then, a few solo shots. We walked again together inside, hand in hand.

"Haz!" Louis called from behind, they all came together and talked for a bit, "Hey Ariana!" Niall called, I smiled at him, Louis and Niall never actually done anything wrong to me. They were just there. Harry, Liam and Zayn were the ones who actually did anything.

I have a soft spot for those two, they were always nice to me.

"Hey guys" I finally said, we all looked for our seats, and it doesnt surprise me that we were all seated together. "Harry?" Taylor was there. I knew they dated for a while then broke up, I hope this doesn't go awkward as it seems, "Oh hey Taylor"

"Hey Ariana" she smiled, "Hi"

"We're gonna go seat" Liam cleared his throat and went back to their seats,"Hey look, there are no hard feelings if you are dating Harry. Honestly, I'm moving on"

"Oh"

"Harry is a real charmer, and he can also be a heartbreaker, I'm not here to break you two up, but I am here to warn you. Dont let yourself get hurt and end up writing songs about your heartbreak" she chuckled, "Well, I gotta go, goodluck to your performance by the way, I'm sure you'll do great" she genuinly smiled at me, "You too" then she walked away to her seat.

I went back to our seats, and sat beside Harry.

"What did you two talk about?" he asked, "Nothing, just congratulated me and wished me goodluck on my performance later"

"Oh, well good luck to you too" he smiled, and I smile back. Well, a little bit.
