Still The One

Chapter 17: Stalking the Enemy

Harry: We were on the set of an interveiw. Today was the Total Turner Show with Ansley Turner. She was an up and comer in the talk show industry and today she had us on. 

Once we were in the dressing room, Liam, who had Hanna in today, noticed I was in a bad mood. Hanna was due with their first born child any day now. He looked over at me. "Hey," he said, "What's wrong?" 

"Nothing," I lied. 

"Yeah, heard that before," Louis laughed. 

"I'm fine," I lied again. 

"Harry, really. Its us. And your face may as well have I'm Upset written in big red ink on your forehead," Niall said. 

"True dat," Hanna said. I rolled my eyes. 

"So," Liam asked. He raised his eye brows. 

"Its just Kat," I said. 

"Ooh," Jess said, rushing over and sitting on the groud in front of me like an excited child ready for a story. Niki ran and plopped in her lap. Jess gazed up at me. 

"She wanted me to choose between her and Anna," I said. 

"Oh," Jess said, scooping Niki up in her arms and standing up again. She walked away as if to show she was uninterested. 

"How did she want you to choose?" Zayn asked. 

"She got this huge job offer in LA and she said she'd stay if I chose to break up with Anna and date her she'd stay," I said. 

"Ouch," Louis said.

"Yeah. I chose Anna. Also I didn't want to stand in front of a huge job like that," I said. 

"That makes sense. I'm sure you picked right," Liam said. 

"You did. She may not like it now, but I promise you she'll thank you in the long run," Hanna said in a sing song voice. She kissed Liam. "Okay, I'll be in the crowd. Don't screw up," she said. Liam laughed, saluting her as she left the room. 

"I just feel bad," I said. 

"Cause you rejected her. It makes sense to feel bad," Niall said. 

"Yeah, but I have a girlfriend," I said. 

"And that plays in how?" Jess asked, putting down a kicking Niki. 

"I don't know," I said, "I guess I don't make sense to anyone anymore." 

"Geeze he's annoying when he's upset," Jess said under her breath. I rolled my eyes and got ready to jump into the interview.

Kathryn: I turned on the TV. "And now, live on the Total Turner Show, its Ansley Turner," the tv screamed. The face of a bleach blond Ansley Turner popped onto the screen. 

"Hey guys," Ansley said, "So today is a total packed show. We've got some pretty big special guests, here today to talk to us. Its the boys who took the world by storm, selling out all of their tours faster than you can say please. They've realesed a number of books. Please welcome, the one and only, One Direction!" I debated turning the TV off. I mean, really. Did my TV have to give me crap about this too? The faces of the boys flashed onto the screen as the waved at the crowd. I watched as Harry appeared, smiling and waving. But I knew him. I could see just a bit of sadness in the back of his eyes. I kept watching. 

The boys sat down. "Hey guys, welcome to the show," Ansley said. 

"Thanks for having us," Louis said, smiling. 

"So how have your days been?" Ansley asked. 

"Good," Louis said. 

"Great," Liam said, winking at the crowd. The crowd screamed. 

"Mines been good," Zayn said. 

"Same here," Jess said. Zayn wrapped his finger's through Jess's. Harry hesitated on his answer. 

"Mines been good," he said, although I could tell in his voice it was a lie. 

"So Harry, lets get to the juice. Have you seen this picture before?" Ansley showed a picture on the screen of two people. Harry and I. My heart stopped. I was on Live TV. Harry blushed. 

"Yeah," he said. 

"So who's the girl?" Ansley asked, "And it might be a good time to ask how things are with Anna and you." 

"Things are great with Anna and I," Harry said, "Um, that's Kat." 

"And she is...?" Ansley asked. 

"A friend," Harry said, looking down. 

"Just a friend?" Ansley asked. 

"Just a friend," Harry muttered. I felt tears streaming down my cheeks. I threw a pillow at the screen, which incidently turned the TV off. I sobbed into a pillow. Why? Why was I "just a friend"? I wanted to be more. What didn't I have that Anna did. Aside from a super gorgeous body that could stop a train? I sat there, crying for a long time. Finally, I grabbed my laptop. I went on to Google. Before I could control what I was doing I searched Annaka O'Manna. A picture of her came up, along with a Wikipedia site. I clicked on it. 

It read: Annaka O'Manna, age 19, was only 14 when she hit the modeling world by storm. She was only a mere 16 when she was signed onto a contract with Guess Jean Co. Being featured in magazines from Seventeen, to Vogue, to Cosmopoloton, Annaka had a successfull career, along side events and even relationships with stars. Although all stars only get so much time. In 2012, at the age of 17, Annaka lost her contract with Guess Jean Co.  She is now rumored to be in a relationship with Harry Styles from the band One Direction. 

Oh. My. Gosh. That was two years ago. She didn't work for Guess anymore. Harry had to hear this. Now.
