Little White Lies (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 8

As soon as I get home, it occurs to me that I should check my phone.

I pull my iPhone out of my jeans and press the home button.

My eyes widenas I looked at the notifications that instantly popup.

24 missed calls? 63 text messages? 8 voicemails?They were all from one person, of course. Natasha.

I call her back, and after 4 rings, she picks up.

"What the hell Aubrey?! You go on not one, but two dates with Harry Styles and you thought it wasn't important to tell me?!"

Two? Oh, she's including our grocery trip encounter. According to the rest of the world, me and Harry had gone together as a couple.

I open my mouth to tell Natasha everything, Harry being rude, the contract, the set up date, the paparazzi, but then I remember what the terms and conditions said.

I wasn't allowed to tell anybody about it. The only people that were allowed to know were Me, Harry, and the team of Management that I had met earlier.

"Um.. Well.. I went to the stores to get potatoes.. And Harry was there.. And he told me he saw the video.. And um he asked for my number.. And then he came over to my house and um asked me out to a date for frozen yogurt," I really needed to kick 'um' out of my knowledge of vocabulary.

I left out the part where Harry only came because Keith told him to and the part where I ruined everything by bringing the contract and then he kicked me out of his car and then invited me back in.

"Holy shit, you're so lucky!! "

I laugh nervously, "Yeah..haha.." I don't really know what to say to her because I literally just spewed out a fountain of lies.

"Can you come over tomorrow morning?"

"Yeah, sure, I need to tell you something really important anyway,"

"It can wait til tomorrow! See you then!!"

I laugh at her enthusiasm, "Bye,"

I type my name into Google, only because I want to see what people were saying about me.

Just as I was reading about how Harry and I were engaged, I drifted off to sleep with thoughts of green eyes and chocolate curls.

I awoke to the sunlight in my eyes, because I was being careless last night, and forgot to draw my blinds.

Groaning, I went over and shut them, rubbing my eyes.

Now that I was awake, I decided to browse through Instagram.

Pressing the home button to bring my phone to life, I found an Instagram DM from an unknown user.

The picture was pitch black, whereas the caption was, Seeing you and Styles together boiled my blood. I'm going to get you Aubrey. Love, Cole xx

My heart begins to race again as I took a brave move, reporting and blocking the user.

With Cole at the back of my mind, I slip on some shoes and begin walking to Natasha's house in sweatpants and a black sweatshirt.

"Okay.. So you guys are like dating now?"

I am about to tell her yes, but then realize that it's a little funky that we've known each other for only a day, and suddenly start dating.

"Not quite.. But I really like him.." I am surprised at my choice of words. I don't like Harry. I don't like him at all. I realize I am persuading myself rather than repeating my feelings.

"Ooh.. What's he like?"

I laugh at her, she was so nosey. But it was why I loved her.

"Well.. He's funny," I say, remembering his insult about the cameraman, "He's annoying," I add, remembering his remarks about my taste of music, "And he makes me feel safe," I finish, remembering when he held my hand and protected me from the paparazzi.

I try to tell myself that I made up those things, for the sake of our fake relationship. But I fail as I realize mean all those things, I genuinely do.

Natasha grins at me cheekily, "Well that's great, I like Haubrey a lot more than Haylor,"

I widen my eyes at her, "Haubrey? God that sounds like a disease!"

Natasha throws her head back and laughs, "Hey, Haubrey is all over the Internet! People love you!"

"These combined names are so weird!!"

Natasha shrugs while laughing, her hands grabbing mine, "So, you said you needed to tell me something important?"

I remember Cole, "yeah.. Cole is back.." I begin to tell her.

"What the hell? When? How do you know?!"

"On Friday night, Cole came to my backyard. He said something about destroying Harry," I keep imagining Harry in my backyard like Romeo.

"Woah.. Shit. Has he tried anything?"

"Um.. Well no. He sent me a DM this morning, saying something about how seeing me and Harry together angered him. I reported him though,"

"Good, do you want me to tell my dad?"

Natasha's dad was part of the NYPD, the New York Police Department. He's really nice guy and he helped out with the Cole case 4 years ago.

"No, it's okay. I really hope Harry just leaves me alone,"

"Harry?"

"Cole. Sorry I meant Cole, not Harry,"

God why did I say that?

"Get a grip Aubrey! You really seem to like him!"

I roll my eyes but I am mentally scolding myself, mine and Harry's relationship isn't even real, why can't I get him off my mind?

"Let's talk about Chloe! I can't believe we're finally going to prove her wrong! Imagine the look on her face!"

I think about the blonde with an attitude, and I am suddenly flashed back to 7th grade, the blonde with braces.

"Remember when you proved her wrong in 6th grade and she didn't talk to either of us for a week?" Natasha's tone changes.

"Yeah, she really held a grudge,"

"I miss her, like hell," Natasha's eyes gloss over, and she blinks a couple of times.

"Yeah, I miss her too,"
