One Week Later
I had slept better than I had in a long while but to my annoyance, it was prematurely interrupted by the continuous buzzing of my phone. I kept pressing random parts of the screen, hoping I would hit some kind of snooze button so I wouldn't have to open my eyes but it wasn't the kind of alarm you could snooze.
I looked up and saw that the time was 8:00 a.m. Who would be calling me this early? Ugh!
"Hello?' I didn't even bother trying to sound awake.
"It's Styles love. Now, get that perky little ass up out of bed because I'm picking you up in 15 minutes for some breakfast."
"Wha..."
"I'll see you then."
Did that just happen? 15 minutes? Styles? Why?
My mind was spinning and I could feel a headache coming on. Why me? Why today? I groaned and got out of bed. I hope he didn't expect me to walk out looking like some kind of supermodel, or any kind of normal looking person for that matter. I brushed my teeth, wrapped my hair into a messy bun, and put on light makeup.
8 o' clock in the morning? Damn it Harry. This is the third time since the show that he had called me out of the blue wanting to hangout. He actually wasn't that bad once you got past the wall he put up. I wouldn't mind hanging out with him, it was just that he knew how much I hated waking up early. Ugh.
I went back to my room and slipped some jeans on and a thin sweater over my head because it'd been windy the past few days. I went looking for my shoes when my phone started buzzing again.
"Seriously, it has not been 15 minutes, I'm almost-"
"Annie?"
It wasn't Harry though, it was Connor, and it sounded like he was crying.
"Are you crying?" I asked while slipping on my shoes.
"Annie I'm so sorry, I hurt you so bad...I just wanted you to know I'm sorry."
"Connor you don't sound good, are you okay? Do you need help?"
"I just needed you to know how sorry I am." he sounded like he had stopped crying, he was more serious now.
I hesitated but continued a few seconds later, "I know, I forgive you Connor."
I had been over the whole thing. I wasn't letting myself wallow in self-pity. Having a friend here in L.A. to talk and vent to, Harry, had been helping I guess.
"I still love you." he said on the other line, quietly.
My phone beeped, letting me know I was getting another call which of course had to be Harry.
"I have to go. Be safe, Connor." I hung up, grabbed my sunglasses, and headed out the door to see Harry's limo already out front waiting. He was always early.
I let myself into the backseat passenger side.
"Hey sunshine, how did you sleep?" I flashed him a dirty look and a fake smile. He was wearing a plain white v neck with black skinny jeans, what a surprise. His hair was wet and curly, clearly he needed it cut.
"Great, until some obnoxious celebrity woke me up and made me come out into the real world."
He nodded and kept his eyes on his phone. I smirked when I noticed how he always gives me a little name. Love. Sunshine. In a way it was comforting, but it was also annoying.
"What?" Harry asked, he was staring at me
"What?" I asked
"Why are you making that face?"
