Two Pieces of a Broken Heart (Harry Styles Story)

Chapter 9: The Aftermath

Selena's POV 

By now I couldn’t flick through any channel without seeing something about my fake sex tape. What is happening to me? I was so frustrated and distraught that I completely forget that Harry mentioned about a week ago that he would be coming to LA to visit me for a bit. I hadn’t even sent him a message to even know where he was and if he needed me to pick him up. The entire scandal had taken a toile on me; I couldn’t sleep without picturing Kellan’s evil face. It was bad enough he tortured me in the flesh and now he is torturing me in my sleep. I throw my phone towards the other side of the bed; I couldn’t stand having to look at all the missed calls that I had from numerous people not to mention my now filled email inbox.

I wanted all of this to end, I wasn’t trying to be boastful but I always saw myself as a good person so why was this happening to me. I never said a bad word about Kellan to the media, even when I wanted to I still didn’t. So why did he feel that he had to ruin my career with such a scandal , he knew full well that the scandal would get blown out of proportion and I would end up looking like the slag who made a filthy  sex tape with her ex boyfriend. I didn’t want to be another Kim kardashian, I wasn’t going to let my fame rise over what was and I repeat a ‘scandal’! He knew that as soon as people where told about this sex tape that people would look at me differently, in the public eye I was this clean cut retired Disney star who happens to have a pop career, I refuse to add making a sex tape as part of what I’m good at doing. It was times like this that I wish that I had a harsh tongue, then I would be able to fully stand up to Kellan and the anyone really but I was this naïve  girl who  loved too hard .

Why must my life be so complicated; I was surprised that Aubrey wasn’t lying next to me, I quickly remembered that she went to spend time with my mum so now I had to force myself to sleep even though I am scared of the dark and I’m going through a shit time in my life.

After what felt like the shortest sleep that I have had, my phone starts buzzing, it was still on the other side of the bed right where I had left it when I through it there. I hesitated for a while on whether I should look at the screen. But of course my subconscious told me to go and check who it is. Damn it Selena.

I finally pluck up the courage to see who it is and I sigh in relief that it was only Harry.

Hey babe, I just arrived at LAX, I should be at your place in the next thirty minutes xx

What the hell it was only six in the morning. I admit I was slightly annoyed to think that Harry was coming so early but then again I was glad that he would be here and I immediately went back to text him.

Why didn’t you call, I could have picked you up.

No worries, I have a car waiting for me so just get ready for me xx

I start to get emotional and think to myself what if Harry has heard about the scandal? Would he confront me about it? Would he look at me differently?

I shake my head at my last thought, Harry wasn’t like that, he wouldn’t just quickly judge me like that especially when this whole thing isn’t even true.

I start making my bedroom look presentable and I go towards Aubrey’s room.  Since I thought it would be rude for Harry to sleep on the sofa I decided to give him Aubrey’s room for the four days that he would stay here. I did some small cleaning in preparation for Harry. As I start cleaning the mirror in the living room, I look in the mirror my eyes were so puffy from the crying all from last night and I looked exhausted. I looked a hideous mess right now and all thanks to Kellan.

After about twenty more minutes, my phone started buzzing and Harry was now calling me.

“Hello,” I ask in a slight whisper.

“Hey babe, I’m outside your house right now.”

He got here too quickly, I didn’t even have time to change. Oh well, he’s here now.

I slowly go towards my window and peer through my blinds and just like Harry said there. From the little that I knew about cars Harry came in red 1975 E-type Jaguar. The car was vintage and beautiful it was the ones you would see in older movies. If only people today appreciated these types of cars.

I was a bit taken back at the fact that Harry was driving, I never even knew he had an American license, let alone a car here. Maybe he borrowed it from someone.

I open my door slightly and pop my head out to wait for harry as he began parking into the parking spot that is normally used by either Ash or Aubrey. Harry comes out wearing black trainers, his usual tight black jeans and Khaki coloured shirt. It was a change from his nonstop white and black shirts. He has a big smile printed on his face; it was a shame that I didn’t have one. I was too glum to even fake a smile for him. His perpetually immaculate hair was in a neat quiff with a slight parting, he didn’t seem to have much luggage. I could only spot his recently purchased Coach’s Bleeker cabin bag since I was there when bought it.

As he walks up the four steps needed to reach my door he still had a big grin on his face. Harry’s face begins to change as he approaches me.

Harry’s POV

As I approach Selena, I can tell that she isn’t her usual peachy self instead her cheeks and eyes are puffy and she is still in her pyjamas and her hair is a mess. She was defiantly not acting like herself, whenever we hadn’t seen each other for a while she would have jumped up on me and I would gratefully lift her legs so that they were placed around my waist to greet her. She was a big kid just like me.

“You could at least look a little bit happy to see me”, I say trying to lighten the atmosphere. I guess I must have hit a roar nerve since the colour of her face turns pale and she burst into tears. Oh shit , what the hell did I do.

“Selena”, I whisper in shock.

As I finally reach the door where she is, I drop my bag and go to hug her tightly.

“What’s wrong “, I say as I try to make contact with her but each time she turns her face away. She was shaking terribly and she wasn’t able to respond to me.

I continue to calm her down by hugging and stroking her hair.

“Everything will be ok. I’m here now.”

I decide to make us both a cup of coffee as Selena finally calms down from her meltdown.

“What got you in this state.” I ask curiously trying hard to not restart her crying.

“I..I can’t say.” She says as she stammers.

Ever since knowing Selena, the only time she ever stammers is when she is either upset or when she is shy.

“Sure you can tell me.”

I place my cup of coffee on a coaster and wait to see if Selena is ready to talk. She licks her lips before responding.

“I can’t, it will shock you.”

“Selena, you know whatever it is you can tell me.”

She takes a deep breath and crosses her legs and places a strand of hair behind her ear before finally responding, “it about my ex b...boy..friend.”

A/N: How do you think Harry is going to react? Once again I just wanted to say thank you for all the comments and voting that everyone has done, it is really appreciated. Chapter 8 was hard for me to write and I even cried a few times as I wrote it. I really hope you guys continue to read this story. Chapter should be up tomorrow. Chapter 10 will have a song attached to it !
