I opened my eyes to darkness and stretched on my bed lazily.
Ugh. My phone had been buzzing non-stop with notifications for the past half an hour. As much as I had tried to ignore the buzzes, they still managed to wake me up.
What was up with all the notifications I was getting?? For the past 6 months that I've been using this iPhone 5 of mine, it has never had more than 10 notifications in an hour.
So why was it getting so much now??
Annoyed, I felt for my buzzing phone on my bedside table and grabbed it.
I was met with hundreds of twitter mentions, and lets just say many of them weren't pleasant to read.
'@Millie_xoxo lay off Harry bitch he's mine'
'Why would @Harry_Styles want to date a girl like @Millie_xoxo?'
'@Millie_xoxo 's not even that pretty. She looks like a cow'
'@Harry_Styles, I'm disappointed in you, why would you date someone as fat as @Millie_xoxo??'
Right. I almost forgot I was now Harry Styles's new 'girlfriend'.
News certainly does travel fast, huh.
As I scrolled through the many mean mentions I was getting, I couldn't help but feel extremely down.
Why did everyone hate me so much? Were my looks really that revolting? How could these people just call me a 'bitch'? They didn't even know me.
'Whore'
'Asshole'
'Flirtatious bitch'
Words like that flew out at me from my screen.
I couldn't take it anymore. It was all too much for me to take in. I had never received so much hate right smack in my face like that before.
I screamed and threw my phone on the floor as hard as I could.
I threw my blanket cover over my head and sobbed. Really hard.
Tears streamed down my cheeks like a waterfall, soaking the bedspread below my face.
I felt as if my heart had just been shattered into a million pieces. Ego crushed, confidence disappeared.
I knew I definitely wasn't the prettiest, the smartest or the good(est) girl around, but did the criticism really have to go so far?
Why didn't I think of all this happening before I accepted the job offer?? I really wanted to quit this job (if you could call it one) but I knew there was no turning back. I really didn't know how I could go on.
I continued crying my eyes out till I felt a soft tap on my shoulder and a concerned voice saying," What's wrong, love?"
Harry?? What was he doing -
Oh right, Joyless made me stay in his house tonight. Another reason for the hate I'm getting. Damn.
I could not let Harry see me in this messy state. I willed myself to stop crying and wiped my face dry with the back of my palms before getting up, turning to face Harry.
"Nothing's wrong. Why?" I replied, sniffling.
"I heard you scream from outside and I heard you crying when I came inside. Don't try to act like nothing's wrong, cuz something clearly is. C'mon, its okay, you can tell me."
"I'm serious! I'm okay! I was just reading a story, and something bad happened to my favourite character in story, so yeah I'm pretty bummed out." I sighed, praying that Harry would buy it.
"Oh? What's the title of the book?"
He was buying it! Oh yeah! What can I say, I'm a great actress.
"Erm its called Dangerous Love? Yeah, Dangerous Love. Devastating story."
"Dangerous Love? You sure? Cuz I thought a better book name would be Haters On Twitter." Harry smirked, holding up my phone, with the page showing the list of mean mentions.
What? How? Damn it, he must have picked it up from the floor when I wasn't noticing.
I hung my head, speechless.
So much for being a great actress.
"Its okay, babe, many of the fans don't really mean what they say, they just say those stuff cuz their jealous of you. You get to date the wondrous Harry Styles and they don't, of course they'll feel angry. They say all that just to purposely get on your nerves, so don't take it to heart okay love?" Harry comforted.
Somehow, after that, I felt much better. Trust Harry to say something funny in a comfort speech.
Feeling a lot lighter and happier, I played along with Harry, saying sarcastically, "Bllleeeuurrrgghhh Wondrous? Harry? I just lost loads of liquids crying, please don't make it worse by making me puke, will ya? Oh no, here it comes again... BLEEUUURRRGGGHHH!!!"
"Oh my oh my , Millie. You lost so SO much liquid! Come, let me help you replenish it." Harry smiled cheekily, and ran into the bathroom.
Before I even knew what was about to hit me, Harry came running out of the bathroom with a bucket full of water and dumped all of it on my head.
"There you go, Millie! Replenished!" Harry chuckled, clearly amused.
"Harry. Edward. Styles!! I am SO gonna get you for this!!" I shrieked.
Gritting my chattering teeth(the water was cold, just so you know), I pulled Harry towards the bathroom before he could even resist.
In the bathroom, I immediately grabbed the shower hose and sprayed ice cold water on Harry. And, as if he had expected that, he refilled his bucket with water from the tap and splashed the water in it at me.
Soon, the two of us were having a full on water fight, were soaked to the skin, and oh gosh, my stomach hurt from all that giggling.
Our water fight, unfortunately, was put to an end when the doorbell started ringing repetitively and the dreaded voice of Joyless came ringing through the intercomm, "Harry Styles and Millie Johnson will you hurry up??!! The two of you were supposed to be downstairs 15 minutes ago!!!"
Oops. We got so lost in our fight we forgot about the time.
Rolling his eyes and giving a huge sigh, Harry looked at me with those beautiful green eyes of his and said, "That was fun, Johnson, that was fun."
He then flashed me that cute, bright, dimpled smile of his and rushed out of the toilet to get ready.
I was left starstruck.
Was I the luckiest girl on earth, or what?
