The Reinvention of Harry Styles (Completed)

Chapter 45

Harry woke up from a nap on his long flight to Singapore. He looked around the plane at his sleeping bandmates and sighed, yet again feeling alone. He opened his phone to watch a movie or something to keep him distracted, but he got an even better idea.

'I never finished reading Molly's fanfiction....' Last time he'd read it, he somehow felt oddly connected to Molly, and it helped him miss her less. Harry smiled to himself and looked up the 1D fanfiction site again. He found her story, and settled into his seat as he clicked on the next chapter.

~Chapter 2: In which Holly has a secret admirer

They day after seeing One Direction in concert, and getting ice cream with them afterwards, Holly sat in class tapping her pencil and day-dreaming about a certain boybander.

"Holly?" Her teacher asked, and she snapped her head forward, thinking he had called on her.

"Yes?" Holly asked, not having a clue what they had been discussing.

"You have a delivery, some flowers..." He read the note. "A secret admirer it seems..." He smiled, and her class 'awwed'.

Holly blushed and came to the front of the class to accept the flowers, ignoring her classmates comments. "Who're they from?" Her friend asked as she returned to her seat, and Holly shrugged.

"No idea," she shrugged. Yet, Holly did in fact have some idea. Five ideas. Or, just one, really.~

Harry stopped reading as his assistant, Karen, approached him to discuss the itinerary. As much as he was dying to see who Holly's flowers were from (he hoped they were from himself, but Holly seemed quite taken with Niall), he also didn't want anyone to catch him reading fanfiction - especially fanfiction about himself, written by his girlfriend.

"We're going to be quite busy in the week leading up to your show. We have a few things to shoot, and then of course we have to film the Victoria Secret fashion show..." Karen continued, and Harry nodded absently as he listened.

Back in New York - or Connecticut rather, since she was staying with her father - Molly tried to keep herself busy. She had been trying to keep her mind occupied since she left London nearly a week ago, but there was only so much she could do in suburban Connecticut. She went into the city a few time to meet up with Alexa and Lily, and to see her mom, but she still had too much free time to wallow about being away from Harry while he was on tour. She had her advice column with Gemma, and that helped, but while Harry was on a short break between shows, she missed being able to see him nearly every other night through the live streams of his concerts.

One afternoon while her father was out for work, Molly invited Lily and Alexa over to hang out and do girly things like drink and paint their nails. Lily talk non-stop about her new boyfriend Jeff, and Molly internally laughed every time Lily said his name.

"What's so funny?" Lily asked when Molly slipped and accidentally snickered out loud.

"Nothing, I just picture Harry's old manager Jeff Azoff every time you say his name, and that smug look he always had on his face, and the way he kind of smelled like money..."

"Why do you know what he smelled like?" Alexa asked.

Molly shrugged and blushed. "Just guessing."

"I forgot he wasn't Harry's manager anymore. What's his new manager's name? Joe or something?" Alexa asked and cocked her head.

"Yeah, something like that..." Lily nodded disinterestedly, eager to bring the conversation topic back to her and her new boyfriend.

"It's Jocelyn..." Molly added quietly.
