I couldn't believe what I was seeing. All over the entertainment news shows, they were playing Lana's interview. Her words kept repeating in my head.

I was supposed to be heading back to New York in a few days. I knew that there were probably photographers outside of my apartment building.

Harry had been on the phone for most of the day. I didn't know who he was talking to. It was probably management. We had to figure out what the next move would be.

I felt so much rage towards Lana. How could she just lie so blatantly?

"Here is your tea." Gemma came and handed me a mug.

"Thank you." I mumbled before I took a sip.

"That girl had some nerve." Gemma said as she watched the tv.

"She sure is ruthless." I looked out. He was still on his phone. He looked upset. I knew that this had to bother him just as much as it bothered me.

I set my mug down and went to the door that led to the backyard. I opened it and stepped outside.

I could barely hear what he was saying.

He saw me come outside and ended his call.

"I'm so sorry that you have to go through this." He told me.

"I'm sorry for you too."

"I just can't believe she would stoop this low. We were never an item. She just can't get that through her head." Harry said.

"What did management say?"

"They don't want us to talk about it right now. They want to believe that it will just blow over. I don't think it will until we say something about it." He explained.

"This turned out to be quite an eventful day." I went and sat down at the edge of the patio steps. He came and sat next to me. I felt his arm wrap around my shoulders. I leaned into him instantly feeling better.

"I hope this doesn't change anything." Harry whispered.

"It doesn't." I reassured.

"You still want to move in with me?

Even after all of this mess?" He questioned. I hated that he had to question whether Lana's little publicity stunt changed us.

"It makes me want to move in with you even more." I smiled. Harry leaves down and pressed his lips against mine.

We heard the door open and broke apart. Anne was there.

"(Y/n) are you ready to go to some shops with me?" Anne asked me with a smile.

"Mum, I don't think-"

I cut Harry off, "It's fine, Harry."

"Stop being such a worry wart. I expect dinner to be done by the time we get back, mister." Anne warned him.

I couldn't help but laugh. Harry narrowed his eyes at me.

"We will see you later, Harry." Anne said as we started to go inside.

I started to go with her, but Harry grabbed my hand.

"Be careful." He kissed me softly and I nodded.

I grabbed my purse from the living room and went out to Anne's car.

Gemma was going to be joining us. She and I raced to see who would get the passenger seat in Anne's car.

I lost.

I sat in the back as we made our way into town. I was excited to be able to see what Holmes Chapel has to offer.
