Only Now Exists (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 23

Stephanie's P.O.V   ~ 10 AM~

"Stephanie, wake up." I hear harry whisper from the front seat. I sit up and groan. He pulls open the roof and I 'm forced to crawl towards the front passenger seat.

"How'd you sleep?" Harry smiled. I look over at him and make a sarcastic smile,"uncomfortable" I cheer. I swipe my arms to the driver seat and give harry a hug. Smiling; for real this time, I feel harry put his arm around me as I feel the car drive us home.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ok, well do you want to go out tonight?" Harry shrugged. I admit, I do want to, but I really want to spend sometime with Kate. I've been basically ignoring her this entire time.

"I'd love to, but I think I'm going to stay with Kate today." I smile, opening the door. "You can come by anytime you want so you can hang out with us." I add, closing the door behind me.

~~~~~~~~

"What?" I whisper, brushing tears away from my eyes. How could joey say that, let alone Kate believing him.

I do have to agree that I haven't spent that much time with her, but I was going to make that up tonight.

Kate pulls up her sleeve. She sighs in disappointment.

"I'm tired of fighting your battles, Stephanie." She continues, placing a knife in my chest with her words. 

I ask her what she meant. Stupid, of me.

I knew exactly what she meant.

"I hate him." She spat. She said more things, but my mind was stuck on this. I begin to shut down. My eyes get watery and I look up at her.

"I wish you two never fell in love." she muttered loudly. I make eye contact and end the conversation by breaking out into a sob. I hear her stomp into her room.

I slam the apartment door and knock as hard as I can on the boy's door.

"Stephanie, What's wrong?" Niall questioned pulling me into a hug. I sob into his shoulder, wrapping my cold arms around him. "I have to talk to Harry." I say, releasing from his desperate need to comfort me.

"Hun, what are you doing here?" He cheered opening the door, continuing to fix his room. I break a sniff and he walks toward me.

"What happened." He sterns. "It's Kate, we have a problem." I sob. Harry turns away in anger. My phone vibrates, about 60 times. I look at the screen.

Twitter: I can't believe you little whore. Out of all people, you fucking  picked Harry Styles. Fuck you.

Twitter: Wow, Harry really dropped his bar on this one.

Twitter: Save us from the pain and kill yourself now.

I burst out crying. I can't help swiping even more. I stumble on an article, No.

All of our pictures are on twitter. Even the one of Harry and I.

"Stephanie, what happened now?" He asks.

"Our picture got out. There are pictures of us, the boys, Kate and I. Wait." I stop. "IS that you screaming at Kate?" I yell.

"Stephanie. It's not what it-"   I cut him off.

"Explain. Now." I hiss.

"We got into an argument about you. She's jealous of how we always send time together. I told her off and said that she was a cold hearted bitch. Stephanie, She told me she wished we had never fallen in love" He says, dropping his eyes to the floor.
