Halfway into the movie, Harry's phone vibrated. He looked down and then lightly tapped my hand. "I'll be right back," he whispered. "I need to call someone real quick."

I nodded and Harry got up and left. I watched him as he walked out the door. Something just didn't feel right. He never leaves the theater before the movie's over. I tried to relax and pay attention to the movie, but it was too hard. Eventually, I couldn't handle it anymore. I grabbed my purse and walked out of the theater. With all the people walking around, it was a little hard to spot Harry. A tall girl with dark black hair and a face caked in makeup, pushed past me. I turned around, "Excuse you, jerk!"

She turned around and ran her long, fake nails through her hair, "I'm sorry, did I hurt your ugly face?"

I gasped and pushed her to the ground. She screamed and the whole room went quiet. All eyes were on me. "What are you all lookin' at?" I said. "She tripped."

The girl growled and tried standing up. I walked away ignoring her. As I shook my head, I spotted Harry. I walked over to him, relieved. To my surprise, he wasn't alone. There stood a girl with long blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. "Harry," she said. "Who's that?"

She pointed at me and Harry turned around. He gasped and then cleared his throat, "Um. That's Alyssa, my girlfriend. Alyssa, this is Lindsey."

I smiled, "Nice to meet-"

Lindsey quickly interrupted me, "Really? This is your girlfriend? This ugly girl is your GIRLFRIEND?"

I gasped. Harry grabbed my hand, "Yes, Lindsey. This is my girlfriend. She is beautiful and I love her."

Lindsey laughed. She shook her head and grinned, "I can't believe this. This is the same stupid stuff you said about me. And oh, it looks like you were just lying, weren't you?"

I let go of Harry's hand and looked at him, "Wait! So she isn't just your friend, she's your ex-girlfriend?"

Harry ran his long fingers through his hair and nodded. Lindsey looked at me, "You honestly think he loves you? I wouldn't be shocked if he's already cheating on you by now."

Harry placed his hands on my face, "Babe, don't listen to her. I love you. I promise this love is real."

I was too confused. I didn't know who to believe. "Harry, come on," I said. "Let's go."
