For this chapter, please every time I say Harry is going anywhere I would like you to imagine him walking like this. It might lighten the mood.

July 2017

It was becoming harder for Harry to get in touch with Rosalie. For some reason she was no longer as bubbly over the phone, sometimes she just didn't answer at all. Harry was slightly worried that something had happened but if he ever asked her she would brush it off and say she was tired or that nothing was wrong.

He was meant to be returning in a few days, just in time for Mitch's birthday on the thirteenth. They were all meant to be going out for a big celebration, Harry had organised a surprise party for him with Sarah and was quite excited for him.

On a particular day, he was doing press for Dunkirk. He enjoyed it as it was different to his usual press junkets. His mate Fionn, who was in the film with him was his press partner which was quite happy about.

"Y'alright today mate?" He wondered, noticing Harry kept checking his phone in between people.

"My girl's being weird." He muttered. Fionn laughed at the way he said it but he could tell it was irritating him slightly.

"Wanna take a break and call her?" He suggested but Harry just shook his head, staring at their messages between one another.

wanna facetime later, haven't in a while? - H

maybe, I might be covering for Nick at the bar - R

okay, just want to see you is all - H

you will in a couple days - R

you okay over there? - H

just fine - R

She was being weird, anyone could see that but Harry didn't want to be clingy and too much towards her. He kept telling himself that he was overthinking but he could never tell what she was feeling really and being far away wasn't helping at all.

"No, it's okay. I'll call her later. She's probably just busy." He mumbled but he knew she couldn't be that busy.

Rosalie still hadn't told him about what Paula had said but she would tell him when he got back. It was easy to be frustrated with him when he wasn't there. She didn't know how much it was worrying him, she assumed it wouldn't bother him that much but it was eating him not knowing what was going on.

Harry spent the rest of the day checking his phone and talking about how much fun Dunkirk was to film. Fionn saved him with some answers when it was clear his mind was in other places. He was annoyed he couldn't give a hundred percent because of the nagging feeling that something was wrong with Rosalie.

Jeff approached him with a solemn look on his face which was never good. Harry looked fearful as he stood in front of him and shuffled awkwardly.

"I really don't need bad news right now, Jeffrey." He sighed, looking down at his phone with no news from Rosalie. It was not a comfortable feeling that he felt, it was as if he was useless. It's not like he could go over to her and ask her what's wrong, she was seven thousand miles away.

"I usually wouldn't tell you but I think you should know about this one." He handed him over an IPad that had a news headline.

Harry Styles dating a woman of the night?

His eyebrows furrowed as he read over the article, there was a picture of Rosalie on the stage at the club. The article called her a number of things she wasn't, alluding to things that definitely weren't true.
