Escape into Reality (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 13

Harry's POV

I stared at the text and reread the message over and over again.  That twat.  Who does he think he is, taking my girlfriend out for breakfast?  I would've thrown the phone away, but seeing as it was Josie's, I didn't.  Instead, I quietly slipped out of the bed and stormed out of our hotel room.  Storming over to the elevator, I jabbed the lobby button.  I really needed to get away, to clear my mind.  Who knows?  Maybe I'll run into Drake and give him a piece of my mind.

By the time I step out of the elevator, I'm seeing red.  I stomp towards the exit of the hotel, ready to face a tornado if that's what was outside.  Instead, I bump into a sturdy body.

"Watch where you're going!" I hiss looking up, only to see Louis' surprised face.

"Woah mate!  Calm down, are you alright?" He frowns putting his hands firmly on my shoulders to keep me from moving.  

"What does it look like?" I spat out.  I hate talking like that to Louis but I'm just not good at controlling my emotions.  

"Calm down and tell me what happened." Louis says firmly.

"Drake.  That prick asked her out to breakfast.  He's following us I swear!  He's like stalking her or something.  I don't like him Louis, I don't like him..." I say growing more and more frustrated just thinking about the bastard.

"Harry...calm down." Louis shakes his head at me and pushes me back toward the elevator.  "Josie isn't the type of girl who will cheat on you, and you need to know that she will have other guy friends besides you and the band.  Don't hold her back Haz."

I tug on my hair.  I hate it when Louis' right, which he usually is if he's not goofing off.  But it's so hard to push down that feeling of jealousy.  

"I know you're jealous Harry," Louis states as if reading my mind, "but just let her be.  Do what it takes to make her happy.  You love her enough to do that don't you?"

Of course I love her.  Josie is my world, not that I've told her yet.  But yes, when I thought about it that way, I'd do whatever it takes for her to be happy, even if it means hanging out with...Drake.

"You're right Boo, thanks," I sigh giving him one of those man hug things.

 After that I quietly tiptoed back into bed, careful not to wake Josie up, and waited for sleep to find me.

Josie's POV

I opened my eyes and noticed that it was still dark outside.  Blinking a couple of times, I realized it was raining.  Harry was still asleep beside me, curled up into a cute little ball.  I moved my hand over his forehead and brushed some of his curls away.  

Grabbing my phone, I saw a message from Drake.  

Breakfast huh?  That's debatable...I looked down at Harry who was still snoring away. I'll wait for Harry to wake up first I guess.  

After tracing Harry's facial features with my pinky for a couple of minutes, his shining green eyes blinked open.  He smiled and I felt a grin immediately make its way onto my face.  

"Morning Jay," he said holding grabbing my hand which was still tracing around his eyebrows.  He held my hand against his cheek.

"Morning Harold," I said leaning in to give me a short peck.  I pulled away and he pouted reaching out for my face to pull me closer.  I chuckled and shook my head, "I'm going to meet Drake for breakfast." 

His face fell before a smile plastered his face.  "Oh alright, I'll be waiting for you okay?" I frowned at his face.  He was trying to show that he didn't care that I was going but you could see the sadness evident in his eyes.

"I won't go if you don't want me to," I said pulling out my phone to turn Drake down on his offer.

"No, no.  I insist you go, it's okay," he said trying to give me a genuine smile.  I smiled back at him and debated whether I should go or not.  Well, I can drop by for a couple of minutes and then spend the rest of the day with Harry so...

"I'll be back soon.  Don't miss me too much," I smiled and gave him one last kiss before heading down to Starbucks.

I arrive at Starbucks and I easily spot Drake holing a coffee in his hands and another cup sitting across from him.  

"Hey Drake!" I say walking over and smiling at him. 

"Josie! I'm glad you could make it!" He replied motioning me to sit down across from him.  I take a sip of the coffee and savor the wonderful taste.  

"So, you seem to be everywhere these day hm?" I asked.

"Yeah, I just happen to travel a lot you know.  It gets quite boring sometimes, but there are exciting moments like when I met you," he said smiling at me.

"Oh, haha thanks," I say awkwardly rubbing the back of my neck with my hands.  

"You weren't this awkward before, what's wrong?" he asks, his eyebrows knitting together.

"Oh nothing..." I say looking away, "butmeandHarryaredating".  I say it really fast, not wanting to sound awkward.  I cringe as I wait for his reply.

"Oh my goodness! I totally knew it!  You lied to me all this time, I knew you were dating Harry!" Drake yelled basically jumping up and down in his seat and glowing with excitement.

"Shh, calm down, we only started dating last night so chill your balls," I hissed at him. He only laughed in return while I blushed a tomato red.

"Okay, okay, enough jokes at my expense.  Let's go order some food?  I'm starving," I announced dragging Drake up so we could order breakfast.

"Hi, how may I help you," the worker, who was definitely gay asked.  I muffled my giggles as his eyes raked up and down Drake's body.

"Uhhh..." Drake stuttered looking uncomfortably at the waiter who was still smirking at him.

"We'll have two blueberry muffins and a bagel please," I said covering for him.  Drake seemed to have recovered from his initial shock and was now smiling mischievously at me.

"Would you like anything else sir?" the waiter asked and I barely held in my laughter at the double meaning of his words.

"No, my girlfriend and I are fine," Drake replied snaking an arm around my waist.  I shot him a quick glare and then plastered a smile on my face for the waiter.

"Oh...alright then," he mumbled going to grab our order.  As soon as the waiter's back had turned, I wriggled out of Drake's grip.

"You jerk!" I said feeling bad for the poor waiter who looked as if he'd been crushed.  Drake only laughed harder at me.

"You know you love me!" he said in between breaths.

"Twat," I mumbled under my breath taking my order from the waiter.

We turned and walked back to our table, with Drake still laughing.

"What's so funny?" a familiar husky voice asked.  I looked up and saw Harry standing at the doorway.  I bounded over to him and engulfed him in a hug.  Now would be the perfect time to make him and Drake get along!

"This is Drake!" I said happily ignoring Harry's first question.  

"Nice to meet you Harry, Josie's told me a lot about you," he said chuckling under his breath.  I blushed and looked down at my fiddling hands.

"Nice to meet you too," Harry replied.  I could tell he was making an effort to try and sound nice.

"Okay, I've got to go to a meeting.  I'll see you around I guess?" Drake asked looking at me hopefully.  I nodded at him while Harry wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me in close to him.

"See you later!" I called as he walked out of the cafe.

Little did I know, I would be seeing a lot more of Drake than I asked for.

 A/N Somebody fangirl over Little Things with me!!
