Brother's Best Friend↝Harrison Osterfield

Lottie's P.O.V

Haz and I are doing well, we've managed to hide our relationship from Tom, Sam, Paddy, Mum and Dad so far. Harry obviously knows, he's a fangirl, and of course Charlotte, Haz's sister, knowns. But dang, Tom's fans just seem to really like me, anywhere I go, they're following, snapping pictures and things like I'm a celebrity. I was at work the other day and one of his fans walked in, screamed and fainted on the floor. I almost lost my damn job because of them. Tom has told them to stop, and they've died down for now. Tom doesn't suspect a thing from Haz or myself, we're just the normal 'best friends' around them.

That was until today. Haz came over, for his usual Chin Wag with Tom, and for some reason, he couldn't keep his eyes off of me. Tom told him to stop staring countless times, and so did I, but he didn't listen. They were downstairs watching a movie with the family, minus me. I don't like Zac Effron (he's got the most punchable face in the world omg), and they were watching The Greatest Showman. So, I was upstairs with my earphones in and a book in my hand. 

He knocked on my door, entering with a smile as he came over to me, sitting on the bottom of my bed as I discarded the earphones.

"Hey love."~Haz

"Aren't you going to get caught in here?"~Lottie

"Not if I'm quick."~Haz

"Harrison, it's a bit risky. Tom's downstairs."~Lottie. Little did I know he was at my bedroom door, listening to all of this.

"Tom's watching the film babe, don't worry about it."~Haz. I put my book open and faced down on my bedside table, pulling him closer to me as he kisses me. He smiles into it, his blonde curls falling in front of his face as I look at him.

"God, you're so beautiful."~Haz says and I smile.

I was about to speak when we were cut off, a large gasp coming from someone at my bedroom door as we sit up and I see Tom.

"What the fuck?!"~Tom

"Tom it's not what it looks like."~Lottie

"No, Lottie. It's exactly what it looks like! I've just been listening to your conversation."~Tom says, growing angrier every minute as I go completely silent.

"My sister Harrison? Really? Are you fucking joking? My younger sister? Out of all the girls in the fucking world, you choose her?"~Tom says as he walks out and downstairs, probably to get my Mum as I run down the stairs after him. I jump on his back and cover his mouth as he was about to speak, earning a furrowed eyebrow look.

"Get off of me."~Tom finally wiggles me off as he goes into the living room to alert Mum, Dad, Harry, Sam and Paddy.

"Mum, Dad, everyone, get in the kitchen right now."~Tom

"Tom do you have to do this?"~Lottie

"Yes, I fucking do, God. I'm actually disappointed in you Charlotte, you told me you'd never go for him."~Tom. That's what hit hard, the fact he was disappointed in me. The only person who could be disappointed in me and make me feel like shit about it, is Tom.

"What's happening?"~Dad asks as Tom grabs my wrist and takes me to the kitchen, everyone following after me.

"Why don't you ask these two?"~Tom

"Tom you're making a mountain out of a molehill."~Lottie

"Don't you dare even say that Charlotte! You've been sneaking about around my back, and for how damn long?"~Tom asks and looks straight at Haz.

"Tell me before something in this room gets thrown at you."~Tom

"About... uhm...  4 months."~Haz says nervously and Tom gets even angrier.

"What the bloody hell is happening?"~Sam questions as I look at Harry.

"4 months? I can't believe you. I can't believe you, Harrison, that's my sister!"~Tom

"Yes! I know it's your sister for goodness sakes, Tom!"~Haz

"Don't you fucking dare, don't you dare try and get yourself out of this. Charlotte, you're awfully quiet, why?"~Tom

"Because you're being a dick maybe? Or the fact you just said you're disappointed in me and I feel like crying? I feel like I'm on a Sitcom. Oh my goodness, I'm Monica, Haz is Chandler and you're Ross, but your type of Ross doesn't actually like this."~I begin rambling as Harry covers my mouth.

"Who else knows?"~Tom asks and I stay silent, not wanting Harry to get in shit too.

"Who else knew?"~Tom asks again, his fists clenched as Mum tries to calm him down, Sam watching and Dad sorting Paddy out 'cause he was crying for dear life.

"Charlotte Elizabeth Holland! Who else knew?!"~Tom yells at me and scares the living daylights out of me.

"It's fine, do it."~Harry

"No, I'm not doing that."~Lottie

"I knew."~Harry owns up to it and he looks at Tom.

"You knew and you didn't tell me?!"~Tom

"Tom stop yelling!"~Mum shouts at him as he goes quieter. 

"Charlotte, I'm disappointed in you. You can't just go chasing after guys like Harrison, that's your brothers best friend, look what you caused."~Mum

"Are you joking me? Are you fucking kidding? He's just yelled at me for having a boyfriend, like every other time and I'm the one to blame? You know what Tom, I was shit scared to tell you, not Mum, not Dad, no. You, because you're so unsupportive of every damn boy I go after, and I thought you'd understand with Harrison, considering he's your best mate. But I just learned what you truly are, you're an arsehole who can't seem to fathom that I'm a girl, I get bored, and I fall in love. Jesus Christ, you're the worst brother ever, I wish I never knew you, you're such a narcissistic prick, seriously, Get your head outta your ass before I kick it up further."~Lottie. He looks at me a bit stunned as I walk out of the kitchen and upstairs, tears falling down my cheeks as I get to my bedroom and lock my door. I fall onto my bed and look at the ceiling, tears pouring from my eyes as I cry myself to sleep for the first time in forever.
