Life of a Styles | One Direction Fanfic (Slow Updates)

Chapter 7

When we arrive back at the house, Harry, Liam, and Louis are already home. Zayn grabs my bags for me and the three of us walk inside.

"Where were you guys?" Harry asks.

"We went to the mall, but then girls kept showing up so we went to the movies!" I respond enthusiastically.

"Cool. What movie did you guys go to see?"

"The Conjuring..." I responded quietly knowing he would be a bit angry.

"Guys, couldn't you have taken her to see a comedy or something? That movie is extremely scary" I could tell Harry was trying his hardest not to get angry.

"Harry, relax, I was the one who insisted on seeing it."

"Why?"

Avoiding Harry's question, I state, "I am going to go put my new clothes away. Thank you guys, I had a really fun day." I say to Niall and Zayn before grabbing my bags and walking upstairs.

Once I put my things away I pull my laptop out and go into twitter. I haven't been on since the day before mom died. A bunch of tweets from the Kardashians start to bore me so I go to look at Trending. I immediately see #StayStrongHarry. Emotions start flooding back and I grab my phone and run downstairs.

All the boys are just being weird and laughing in the living room. Instead of interrupting them I run through the kitchen to the backyard as I bite my bottom lip to keep tears from falling down.

I climb onto the trampoline and start going thought the trending hashtag. Next thing I know, Harry is laying down beside me. My cheeks are soaked with tears and I continue to scroll through my phone. He doesn't say anything, but concern covers his face.

All of a sudden a picture comes up of Harry and my mom and I realized that some girl was cropped out on the side. I zoom in on what's left of the girl and see that it is me. I try not to let these types of things bother me but I'm to emotional. I chuck my phone at the netting of the trampoline. Harry sits up and picks up my phone to look at what has upset me. He sees the trending topic and then sees the picture.

"Shannon, I'm sure they didn't mean anything by it." He says trying to make me feel better and defending his fan.

When I don't say anything, he pulls me into a tight hug and rubs my back. "Everything is going to be okay. You have to trust me on that. Okay?"

I nod my head and we sit there in silence for 5 more minutes until Louis walks out and says "Lad the pizzas here." We climb off the trampoline and walk inside.

After we finish eating all I want to do is go to sleep. I say good night to all the boys and excuse my self. Before I walk up stairs Harry says, "Shannon, I love you." I nod my head, surprised by his statement and continue up the stairs.

Once I climb into bed my phone buzzes. It is a twitter notification that reads "@Harry_Styles: Thank you everyone for your kind words but I'm not the only one going through a tough time. I love you lil' sis. #StayStrongShannon" There is a picture attached. When I click on it, it is the picture from earlier but this time I am in it and not cropped out. I favorite the tweet. Before I go to sleep, I quickly text Harry saying "Thank you. I don't know what I would do with out you. Love you. xx"
