                                      With my head pounding and my cheeks wet, I waited for Niall to DM me back. He seemed genuinely worried, like he usually is for his fans. But, instead, I just got an unknown number calling me. Like usual, I picked up and told them they had the wrong number, but a certain accent caught me off guard. "Is this Jade?" his voice spoke deeply and slowly into the phone. A shiver ran down my back as I just nodded. But, of course he couldn't hear me. "Hello?" "Yes, this is she," I said softly, trying to sniffle without being so noticeable. Harry Styles was talking to me on the phone, the actual Harry Styles. "Oh. Hello, love," he cheerfully said, a soft chuckle escaping his lips. I smiled to myself, "Hello.." I could feel the heat rush up my cheeks as I coughed awkwardly. "So, about your problems...would you like to talk to me about them?" he questioned, and I could hear slight chatter from his end of the line. "Lou, go away!" he snapped, pulling the phone from his ear. I couldn't hold it in, I giggled. Louis Tomlinson was talking about me to Harry! Eep! "Is that Jade!?" Louis' voice rang out excitedly. My eyes went wide as I heard my name being said in that angelic voice of the Doncater boy. 

"Lou, no!" Harry whined, but I was soon met with a 'hello, beautiful'. Harry was shouting at the small boy as Louis said stupid nothings. "So, Jade. Since you'll be in London when we are, would you like to go out with me and the lads?" he asked. All I heard was a loud thump followed by the sound of Niall's laugh. "Sure, but I have to go. My mum's looking for me. Bye," I said before hovering my thumb over the end call button. "Wait!" Harry shouted, causing me to stop. "Jade?" I looked up and noticed a shadow coming in through the doorway. "Sam?" I called, sniffling. "Jade! Talk to me!" Harry whined, and I pressed the phone on speaker. "Sh," I said into the phone as Sam spoke again. "Jade, I didn't mean to kiss her! I promise!" I scoffed, feeling the tears fall down my cheeks once again. "Forgive me, babe." "No," I whispered, curling up even tighter. 

"Jade, quit being so sensitive. It was one kiss. We're not even together!" he snapped, banging his fist against the door. I flinched, flaring my nostrils in anger. "Just like you just took my virginity and that was surely nothing. It's not like I can get that back, Sam!" I whisper-shouted, crossing my arms. "Tell the dick to leave you alone," Harry said, his voice soft so only I can hear him. Niall said the same, as did the other boys. That made me happy, they cared about me. Yet, they don't know me. "Go away, Sam. Just leave me alone." Sam scoffed, cursing at me under his breath. I let out a deep breath, my damp eyes closing slowly. "Jade, I've got to go. We've got an interview, call me later, alright?" "Alright," I said softly, a small smile etching to my lips. Reality struck me, I was talking to all of the members of One Direction! "Bye, Jadey," he cooed, the end tone ringing through my ear. A bright blush filled my cheeks as I stood up, fixing my clothes. But once I had put my phone back in my pocket, Perie's ringtone sang out. I sighed, picking the mobile out of the slit. 

"Hello?" I said, sighing once again. Perrie let out a huge breath, squeaking as she did so. "Pezz?" I asked, quirking a brow. "Jade, don't hate me," she whined and I just laughed. "I could never hate you, Perrie. Now what is it?" She took a deep breath, making me more excited to hear the news. "I need you more than anything right now, okay?" "Kay." And then she waited even longer. Ugh, hurry up, Perrie! I huffed, and then the line went dead. I was a bit shocked that she would just hang up on me like that, but I guess I could relate. She probably needed time to think or needed peace so she could find out how to tell me whatever she needed to tell me. I pushed open the dressing room door and made a mad dash to the woman's clothes section where my mum was most likely going to be. "Jade, where have you been?" he gentle voice asked, snapping me back to reality. "Sorry, mum. I just had to try on this outfit." I put the clothes into our cart and waited for her to finish her shopping. I wasn't much on new clothes, I liked new things, but my clothes were fine. Harry would love them! We began walking back to the front of the store when Sam grabbed my wrist. "Let go, Sam," I mumbled under my breath, tugging my arm away. But he held on tighter. "I want to tell your mam about us," he stated, dragging my body into his. I practically choked when he said that. How could he? He just fucking cheated on me! "No, Sam. Go away and leave me alone." But my mum looked back. "Mr. Stone?" she asked, her eyes a bit wide. That's why I wanted to keep us two a secret. She finds student and teacher relationships disgusting and cruel. Which is understandable. 

"Hello, Mrs. Popper," Sam said cheerfully, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist. I couldn't breathe, his grip was way too tight for my liking. Also, he was way too close. I wiggled away, him obliging to let me go since mum was watching us. "Let's go, mum. He's pathetic," I whispered and we walked away. Thank god. I hate it when guys are like that. He's so persistent, but he's bad news. And why can't he just leave me alone? Mum gave me the keys and told me to go sit in the car when Perrie called again. As I walked out of the store and to the car, I slid the bar and pressed my phone to my ear again. "Jade, we're leaving in two days," she said, making my eyes go wide. It is only two days till we leave for London. "You're right," I gasped, my lips forming an 'o' shape. "I've got to pack!"
