"You can't do this Harry! It's not fair!"

"Do what Annie?" he snapped.

"You know what. You can't just be all sweet and flirty one minute, and then act like you don't even care the next. I don't even know who you are when you get angry. It's not fair to me." I was now on the verge of tears, this was all a big mess.

"I'm not being fair?" He shook his head in disbelief, "I'm not the one sneaking behind your back with my ex, okay Annie? I thought things were going well, I thought...I don't know what I was thinking, never mind."

----2 days earlier----

"Let's go out for lunch. No offense, but I don't think I can take any more of your cooking, Annie."

"Gee thanks." I said, heading to my room to grab my car keys since I planned on taking Josh out anyways.

...

We settled for a simple Chinese restaurant in the corner of a large shopping center.

After we ordered some teriyaki and orange chicken we finally talked about the Harry vs. Connor situation. First, I told Josh everything that had happened. I figured he would be very confused if he didn't find out soon. When I was finished, Josh was looking away, and I waited for him to say something.

"Dude...that sucks." He shook his head.

I laughed out loud and he laughed with me, it felt nice. I really did miss my little brother.

"I mean, I can't decide for you, if that's why you told me all of that." he said to me.

"Well then what are you good for?" I joked.

"Ha-ha, very funny. Look, I know Connor. I can't believe he actually did that, he really doesn't seem like that kind of person. From what you told me it sounds like he knows that he made the biggest mistake of his life." he paused, our food being set down in front of us.

"But I mean, Connor is really busy right now, he just won X-Factor for God's sake. I don't know if he has all the time to be making it up to you or to just spend time with you like he used to. He's a celebrity now Ann, everything's gonna change with him. It won't be like old times."

"I didn't even think of all of that to be honest." I said.

"On the other hand, I haven't known Harry for very long. I do know however, that he is very, very famous. He's a pretty cool guy around me, a little too much of a smart-ass at times but I mean, you can tell that guy genuinely likes you."

I looked up at Josh and bit the inside of my cheek. Suddenly, I wasn't so hungry anymore.

"You know what's pretty cool though?" Josh asked.

"What?"

"Either way, you're dating someone famous." At the same time that Josh began to speak, I noticed the TV across from us with pictures across the screen of...of me.

"Oh my god," I said out loud, though I didn't mean to. Josh turned his head and asked the server to turn the volume up.

The headline read:

'Mystery girl confirmed!'

"In a recent interview with a very close source to Mr. Harry Styles of One Direction, questions were asked about his rumored new girlfriend, and they were answered to be a Miss Annie Peters. The couple is said to have been heating up in the past few weeks. It was just confirmed that Harry recently rented out an ice rink for a romantic date with the two, and that he has been seen kissing her back stage at an X-Factor show. Now that the mystery girl has been confirmed, now it's up to Harry whether he will officially confirm or denie the relationship."
