I Work For One Direction..AGAIN?!

Vhapter 29: Save it

"Hey Jess." Niall said giving me a large hug.

"Hi sweetie. Marie is in the kitchen." I winked, making him blush.

"I have a surprise for you." Louis said rejecting my hug.

"Oh really?" I asked suspiciously. "What is it?"

He just smiled and walked to the door. A few words were muttered and a hand appeared. Louis grabbed the hand and a head full of hair popped out.

I recognized who it was right away. She had on a cream colored dress which reached her knee and a faded blue cardigan. "El?!"

"Hi!" She smiled widely and embraced me into a long and loving hug.

I couldn't believe it. I missed Eleanor more than anything. "I can believe you're here."

"I can't either." She let go. "But now that I am, we have a lot to catch up on."

"Well come on in. Dinner is ready, waiting to be eaten and complimented." I giggled.

A hand grabbed mine and I looked up to see Harry staring at me with his pensive eyes. "Hello." He said.

"Hi." I said back. It was almost awkward?

***

"I remember meeting Jess for the first time. Louis said she was sweet and cute and fun, and I'm sitting there thinking, I'm gonna have to fight her because my boyfriend seems to like her so much." El laughed as she told stories about me. "But then I met her and of course I loved her right away."

"Awh!" Everyone smiled.

"Alright alright. Who is ready for dessert?"

"What did you make?" Liam asked.

"I made my famous fudge brownies which you guys have never had." I said taking a few plates away.

"You have famous fudge brownies and you never told me about them?!" Niall convulsed.

I just laughed. Everyone else did as well. Eleanor and Marie helped me with the brownies. I made enough to feed a football team. The boys can take some home, I thought.

"It's really great to see you." Eleanor said as she placed the last few brownies on a plate.

"It's good to see you too." I smiled. "I'll get the coffee, you two go put the brownies on the table before we get attacked by Niall.

They left the kitchen while I grabbed my special guest coffee mugs. I counted them to make sure I had enough for everyone. I placed them into a large tray and started the second pot of coffee once the first one finished.

"Do you need help?" A voice startled me.

I turned around and Harry was standing under the archway.

"Sure." I said. "Can you grab this tray for me?" I pointed at the tray full of mugs.

He did as I said and lifted the tray off of the counter. I grabbed napkins and the coffee and turned around to face him once again.

"That all?" He said.

"Yeah." I stared at him. "Is everything okay?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Are you sure? You're acting differently."

He sighed. "There is something I have to tell you an I don't-"

"Where's the coffee?!" Marie yelled.

"Can you hold that thought?" I said smiling. I walked out and heard Harry walking behind me. We got into view of everyone sitting at the table and enjoying my fudge brownies. "Coffee is here." I said placing the coffee pot on the table. I grabbed a few mugs and started passing them around when Niall jumped from his seat and to the T.V.

"Woah!" I said startled.

"Sorry!! I want to watch cartoons!"

Marie giggled and ruffled his hair as she joined him.

"Oh I forgot the cream and sugar. Pass these around I'll be right back." I said to Eleanor. I trollied into the kitchen and grabbed the cream and sugar for who ever drinks their coffee like pansies. When I got back everyone was frozen still and staring at me. "What's up? I asked looking around.

Niall quickly turned off the T.V. Something told me I should turn it back on. He didn't want me to see it and that just made me want to see it more.

"You guys are such spazz'." I grabbed the remote and turned it on to see Harry's face plastered all over it. His face and another girls'.

"Jess, maybe-"

"Shush!" My hand went up, stopping who ever was talking. At that moment, I went blank.

'When management was asked about Harry Styles and Elizabeth Zelwinski, model and actress, they simply said a relationship was meant to be kept private. A relationship, huh? It was only a year ago when heartthrob Harry Styles was dating his maid, Jessett Pampa, who is now One Direction's manager. Could this stir things up or are things already stirred? Witnesses admit to seeing Harry and Jessett together at a fundraiser not too long ago which has been described as cuddly and almost dating like. Hopefully Elizabeth doesn't turn into a heartbroken little girl like Harry's ex girlfriends.'

What on earth was going on? "Jess?"

"Someone tell me what's going on."

"Listen. Before you start shooting people-"

"I said tell me what's going on!"

"Beth is my girlfriend." Someone spoke up.

I stared at Harry with hope it wasn't him and just someone who sounded like him.

"She's my girlfriend. I didn't tell you about her because it wasn't serious. She was in Australia for a fashion event but she came back early and some things happened. Thought you'd want to know." He said completely shocking me.

"You've had a girlfriend this entire time?!" I looked around and everyone else who looked just as surprised as I did. Louis, Liam, Zayn. They all looked shocked as hell.

"Yeah. I didn't want to tell you. If I did then it would have made things so much harder on us and weirder. I didn't think we'd end up caring about eachother again." His words seared me.

"Get out." I whispered.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"I said get out!!!" I yelled.

He flinched and his eyes saddened. He slowly turned towards the door but didn't start walking towards it right away. "I'm sorry."

"Save it. I don't care." I walked into the kitchen with my head held high. I couldn't breathe. My chest tightened and my eyes wanted to cry but I wouldn't let him. No one will see me cry over Harry Styles. I refused to cry over him.

"Jess!" Marie yelled and grabbed my arm. "Are you okay?" She asked.

I just stared at her. How could I have been this stupid. I blamed her and everyone else. I became friends with Harry because they wanted me to. This was their fault and at the moment I didn't even want to look at them. I pulled away from her and walked out the back door. This was it for me and Harry. Never again.
