The Boy Next Door (Harry Styles Fanfic)

CHAPTER 15

Chapter 15

*1 YEAR LATER*

-ASTRID'S POV-

"Thank you have a great day!" I smiled kindly at the customer that was now leaving. "Well that's the end of my shift!" I yelled over at Cassey my co-worker.

Yes I got a job. I now work at Six Flags the amusement park in Valencia, California. And I enjoy every moment of working here either selling souvenirs, helping on the rides, or even taking photos at the gate entrance.

I had just graduated actually 2 months ago. And I guess you can say this is my summer job. I'm still saving up to go to college, my parents have plenty of money to pay for my college, but I really want to show them how responsible I am. And I'm proud to say I'm getting there. But before going to college I was going out to London for 3 months or so with my cousin Ashley. Ashley? She's doing fine actually, she's still dating Niall. Still dating? Yeah I know I'm actually very happy that they're both happy and keep each other that way.

Now your wondering what about Harry and the boys? Well I'm proud of them. They're the biggest boyband in America well anywhere actually. They have improved so much. I haven't spoken to anyone of them after their auditions. I must admit I truly miss them. Especially Harry. I don't know if I still have feelings for him. But I do know that I really miss him. Does that mean I still love him? No, I cant. He has moved on, and I also have to move on. After all it has been a year. And after that year, I guess you can say he has moved on. I've seen a few magazines with his face and a couple of other girls with him. I recently seen one a week ago titled 'HARRY WITH GIRLFRIEND #5 THIS MONTH!'. Although I don't want to believe in any of these stupid magazines they're just all a bunch of bullcrap and rumors. I know Harry. He's not a womanizer like all these stupid magazines say he is. But then I also remember the reason we broke up. He cheated on me with a girl he had met at a club. His one night stand and it ruined everything we had. That's what also makes me believe all these magazines.

"No! I thought your shift ended at 5?" She pouted. "Nope not today! I asked if I can leave earlier I'm leaving for the weekend, going to visit my mom!" I smiled at her. "Astrid, you know how boring my last 2 hours of shift are going to be! And who's covering for you?" "I know I'm sorry! But you'll be fine, and I asked Josh if he can cover me!" "Oh yeah you know josh would totally do anything for you!" She winked at me. "Well we are close friends and I cover for him all the time also ya know?" She's been teasing me that he 'likes me' when I know he really doesn't we just have each others backs I guess you can say that. He's just a friend and he's a great guy! "Sure Astrid, whatever floats your boat honey." She giggled. "Shut up." I threw the keys to the shop at her and then went to grab my stuff. "Bye Cassey, ill see you on Monday." I smiled at her. "Text me when you arrive to Vegas!" She smiled back widely. "Sure!" I gave her small smile to only show one of my dimples.

-HARRY'S POV-

"Harry make sure you hold Lucy's Hand infront of the paparazzi's! Your so distant from her we can't have the media know this is all a stunt!" Catherine's annoying voice yelled through my phone. "Okay well maybe you should fucking talk to her since she can barely even look at me, why did you even hire her? She's a bitch." "I don't want to hear it Harry! Deal with it. " with that being said she hung up.

Lucy? Well that's my 'girlfriend'. A total bitch though. Why am I with her? Management. This thing we have going on is all an act. Why so the bitch can get more attention. She's a model and management thought we'd be perfect together to grab attention. I've probably been with at least 3 girls this year. Not actually been with them but pulled an act. And I hate it. Makes me seem like a womanizer which I'm not. I'm far from that. I don't like having to pull the kissing scene or the lovey Dovey shit. It's nothing compared to how I felt when I was with Astrid. I miss her. I haven't forgotten about her at all. I think about her every night and day. I still love her. I tried talking to her a week after auditions. But it was to late. She had moved in with her dad. Where? I have no clue. Ashley knew but she had promised Astrid she wouldn't tell me.

"Harry!" Ashley yelled from the kitchen. "Yeah?" I yelled back. "Can you give me a hand with dinner while I go take a quick shower?" She asked. "Sure." I said quickly getting up from my bed heading to the kitchen finishing what she was cooking. "Thanks" she smiled and walked to her's and niall's bedroom. After auditions and getting into the music business we all thought it'd be best if some of us moved around and got our own places, so Niall and I decided it'd be good to live together and the rest of the boys got their own flats. As to each of them now live with their girlfriends.

Just as I was about to head into the living room I heard Ashley's phone ringing signaling she was getting a call. Without checking the caller ID quickly answered knowing it would only be Niall. "Hello?" I Answered. "Ashley?" A sweet familiar voice replied. I looked down at the caller ID. "Astrid?" I asked confusingly not believing it was her. "Ermmm, w-who is this?" She asked unsure. "Harry." I replied waiting for a reply. Until I realized she had hung up. I guess she was still mad at me? I tried unlocking Ashley's phone trying to get Astrid's phone number, i had to talk to her. Thats until it asked for a password. Shit. "Harry?" Ashley half-shouted confused as to why I was on her phone.

-ASHLEY'S POV-

I had just finished my shower and quickly changed into some skinny black jeans and picked out a white v-neck shirt that Niall had hanging in his side of the closet. I quickly brushed my hair and slipped on my red toms then headed downstairs to help Harry finish the dinner. "Harry?" I asked shocked as to why he was trying to figure out my password to my iPhone. "Erm, sorry, you got a call from..." He didn't answer now looking at the ground not sure if he wanted to answer my question. "From who Harry?" I asked once again annoyed. The only reason as to why I have a lock on my iPhone is to keep Harry from getting Astrid's information. I love Harry, don't get me wrong he's a great guy but After all I did promise Astrid I wouldn't give Harry her number. Although I wanted to knowing he still loved her and she loved him. Although she always denied it. "Harry answer my question, who was it?" I asked once again. "It was Astrid." He looked at me with tears in his eyes on the verge to crying. "Ashley I knew you had her phone number all along, just please let me talk to her!" He pleaded. "Harry, I-" I was cut off by Niall entering the flat. "Hey princess!" He said cheerful hugging me by my waist. "What's wrong harry?" He asked confused and worried as he saw him with tears in his eyes. Harry quickly got up and jogged up the stairs slamming his door shut. I felt bad, but I made a promise to Astrid. "What's wrong with Harry?" Niall asked once again with worry written all over his face. "He found out I have Astrid's number." I told him. "Ohh." He simply said. Niall instantly saw I was feeling bad so he grabbed my hand and lead me to the couch where we were now cuddling watching a movie. "Don't worry about it princess he'll understand." Niall whispered into my ear sending chills down my spine. I gave him a slight smile and he leaned in and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

-ASTRID'S POV-

"Harry" his voice kept replaying in my head. I missed his deep voice. I missed him. I still couldn't believe he answered.

"Astrid?" My dad broke me out of my thoughts. "Yeah?" "I asked what time are you heading out to Vegas?" "Oh uhmm around 7 tonight." "Astrid are you okay? You seem a bit off?" "Erm no I'm fine dad." "Astrid we can talk about it." "Umm I'm going up to my room to pack." With that being said I ran up stairs and into my room.
