*Claire's POV*

"So you're friends with him?" Hannah asked me confused.

"Yeah I am, remember the time when Harry sang Legohouse to me for the dance? Yeah it was playing at mcdonalds and I just got emotional and hugged him and he said that he felt so happy to call me his at the time, I don't know I guess I kinda went soft on him, and I accepted to be his friend.. you heard the recording anyway.." I say to six pair of eyes.

Hannah, Deborah and the rest of the boys minus Harry came over to my apartment, to hear the reasons, I gave them the recording and they listened to every word, but I didn't mention the part where he remembered us naked. I haven't mentioned it yet.

"Great so you're friends now." Deb said smiling.

"So he thought you would break up with him?" Louis asked me full of thoughts.

"Yeah, you heard the recording, he was like scared? It never actually occured to me to dump him.." I sigh.

"Well, lads when we get home we have to talk to Harry and make friends with him!" Liam smiled.

All the boys agreed with him happily. That's great, so now everyone is happy, well everyone but me, I am happy actually, I am happy that me and Harry are friends, but it just feels like we've started everything from the beginning. Sighing I stand up from the sofa, and go to my kitchen and pour myself a glass of water.

Is it wrong that I still love Harry? Is it wrong that after that conversation yesterday I love him even more, I think it is, because he clearly sees me as a friend, he said so himself 'no hard feelings' but then again, he wouldn't try asking me to be his girlfriend after we met two times in a year and a half, and I wouldn't accept right? Right?

"Claire...Claire..." 

I snap out of my thoughts and look up and find Niall staring at me in his red polo. 

"Are you alright Claire? You seem upset." He asked concerned.

I put on a fake smile, "Everything's fine." 

Niall gives me a flat look and says, "Come on don't use that fake smile with me missy." 

I sigh, "No it's true, I'm perfectly fine." 

Once again he doesn't believe me and gives me another flat look.

I exhale loudly and then say, "I can't tell you now, there are too many people hear and if they all hear me.." I trail off.

I walk out of the kitchen and put on a smile as I sit down on the floor next to Louis.

"So what are we talking about boys?" 

Louis grins at me and says, "Well we're just planning on what to say to Harry when we get home."

"Don't be too rude boys." I tell them.

"We won't, now we have to go we have a signing in two hours!" Liam instructs as he stands up from the sofa. 

"Bye Claire!" He hugged me.

"Bye!" I reply.

Zayn and Louis follow and do the same, and Niall huggs me even tighter than usual and whispers, "We need to talk about what's bothering you, soon!" 

My smile dropped, Niall is an amazing friend, anyone would ever ask for, but I think he might laugh in my face if I say what I'm feeling towards Harry. I closed the door behind them and turned to face the girls. 

Hannah and Deborah have this sort of look on their face, that they know that something is up. I settle down on the sofa and they jump and sit on either side of me.

"What's up? You look so down.." Hannah started.

"I love him." I blurt out.

The girls eyes' widen as they stare at me with shocked expressions.

"Wait what? Harry? You love Harry don't you?" Deb asked me.

"I thought I didn't but I do, and he just wanna be friends." I sigh.

"Well it's his loss." Deb sighed.

"Let's watch some tv." 

Hannah turns on the tv on bbc and we all perck up as we hear the news. 

"Just a week ago Harry Styles band member of One direction was seen partying late with a girl. Yesterday he got spotted in mcdonalds with another girl, this girl or as we now know her name, Claire was hanging out with the rest of the band the day before, when they went shopping without Harry, she tweeted and said that she's an old high school friend. Photos show that these two must be close, as the girl started crying and they started hugging. Is Harry Styles dating her, or is she just another girl? We'll keep you updated for any news." A woman in her late thirties says to the camera as pictures of me and Harry at mcdonalds kept on flashing.  

I hid my face in my hands, this is bad. I haven't even been friends with him for two days, and they're already saying that I'm dating him. The woman mentioned that he got seen with another girl that literally made me almost cry. So I guess he never really cared, he got over me so quickly, I guess if he did then it means he didn't love me the same way I did, because I still haven't dated anyone, since he left me, while he's out apparently partying every night with his mates and sluts and girls. 

I really wish fame doesn't get to his head, he was already popular in high school and had girls at his feet, now he's known world wide and girls are more than ever at his feet. It took me so much time to stop him being a jerk and a player, well he actually stopped being a player when he started liking me, that's what he said, but I shouldn't believe it. He's still sleeping around with other girls.

And what did the host mean when she said, "Or is she just another girl?" I beg to differ, I was his girlfriend for a long while, but nobody knows that, nobody ever saw photos of Harry in high school, I think. I forgot the girls, and their shouts and ran to my room, locked the door and logged onto twitter, there trending fifth place "Clarry." I clicked on it ,and immediatley regretted, people started writing hate about me, according to Harry's fans, I'm tragic looking, and an ugly faggot.

I sighed as I went onto my mentions and I was tagged in photos again and again. I got a new direct message and I clicked on it. It was from him. From Harry Styles.

Hey, sorry bout the news, you have to get used it, that's part of the package of hanging with me.

I couldn't believe what he just sent me. Am I going mental or am I actually thinking that he just boasted that he's famous? 

Why on earth did I say yes to being friends? 

Because you're deeply in love with him.
