Hidden Reflections ON HOLD (A Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Chapter Fifteen - Believe Me

I appalogise if this chapter is slightly boring. I've come to the realisation that this story really doesn't make much sense and is falling apart. Janelle and I are working to get things picked back up again. :/ - Rachel

Chapter Fifteen – Believe Me

Harry's POV

"I'll see you later, babe.”

"Alright," Arianna smiled, preparing to jump out. I grabbed her wrist gently and she turned, sliding back into the car. I pulled her to me and roughly pressed my lips to hers quickly, praying that there weren't any fans present to see a girl and I kissing. Anybody who knew it was me in this car, with or without a girl, would immediately whip out their phone or camera and snap a photo. It would only be minutes before uploaded online and the fans would go wild for sure.

"Bye, gorgeous," I smiled.

"Goodbye, Harry," she giggled and jumped out of the car, heading into the busy coffee shop.

Already late for rehearsals, I speed back to the building in which we were practising and quickly parked my car. I ran down the familiar hallway into our room to be greeted by my four best mates and band members.

"Late again, I see," Louis smirked at me coming up and engulfing me in a bear hug. "Is there a reason as to why I found a girl's shirt on our bathroom floor this morning?" he teased, letting go. Instantly, all the boys' eyes were plastered on me. My cheeks heated in embarrassment, becoming quite annoyed with Louis, asking myself why he would bring such a thing up in front of everyone.

"I swear it was nothing like that," I glared at my best friend.

"Are you seeing someone?" Niall piped up from behind his guitar.

"Uh, yeah," I nodded.

"What's her name?" Zayn asked.

"Arianna," Louis sang, which caused my glare at him to intensify.

"Louis, really?" I growled at him.

"What?" he asked, trying to act innocent.

"How did you meet her?" Liam said, causing me to break my harsh eye contact with Louis and to focus on the new conversation topic.

"I uhhh, I met her at a pub," I mumbled.

"Did you, you know?" Zayn winked.

"No!" I said quickly, knowing exactly where the talk was headed. "Arianna is not one of those girls, Zayn. She's different and I hate that you guys always think I'm only looking for a good time at night. What her and I have going on is completely different from my past flings. Whether you choose to believe it or not, I actually like her a lot. I've never fancied a girl so much. Believe me," I exclaimed.

All the boys looked at me, shocked expressions displayed on their faces, most likely surprised at my outburst. I felt a bit bad snapping at them but I knew they would just continued with their banter and eventually cross the line. I knew I was falling hard for Arianna and I didn't want them thinking she was just someone I was fooling around with in bed.

"I'm sorry, mate. I didn't know," Zayn said sympathetically.

"I've changed, guys. I'm not what everyone says and you know that. You guys are my brothers. You know I've been with some women and yes, I've had a few flings but nothing can even come close in comparison to what all those stupid rumours say about me. You, out of all people should damn right know that!" I hurt to keep raising my voice at them but I just wanted them to cut the crap about me being unable to take a girl seriously. I sighed, rather relieved with my outburst. The guys knew everything about me, but sometimes I felt like they believed the rumours over my own words and that was like a bullet to the chest.
