Obsessed || Harry Styles AU

Chapter 3

Maddy's POV

When I woke up, my head was throbbing. I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a couple of times, trying to get used to the brightness of the room. I glanced around the makeshift first aid booth, seeing Calum on the floor scrolling through his phone and Carolyn asleep on the couch.

"Hi! Madelyn's your name right?" A nurse whose name tag read Jackie asked as she strolled towards me with a cup of water in her hand.

"Just Maddy actually," I smiled and gratefully took the drink from her, sipping it slowly.

"Ok sorry about that Maddy. Your friends brought you here after you passed out a while ago. Now, I've checked your head, and there's a possibility that you might have a minor concussion. We're not supposed to actually treat anyone here, so I'm just going to have to check your breathing and heart rate one more time, and if everything looks good then you can be on your way!" She smiled, handing me a couple of brochures. After ten more minutes of enduring various medical practices, Jackie had determined that I wasn't on the verge of death and told me I was free to go.

"Thanks," I mumbled on my way out, Calum and Carolyn silently following me from the small first aid booth.

I froze. "Oh shit! What time is it? Where are Addy, Luke, and Sam?"

"It's 3:57, Addy went to enter all our names into that stupid raffle contest, and Sam and Luke went home because they were 'tired,' which I'm pretty sure is code for 'horny'," Calum explained without looking up from his phone. "Oh, and by the way, Harry already finished his chat session or whatever the hell that idiot was doing. He's not coming back until the raffle drawing at 4:15."

I sighed. "Okay well his booth is that way so let's just- " I turned, running straight into a slightly taller figure with curly brown hair, knocking her drink out of her hands in the process.

"Oh my gosh I am so, so sorry! Here, lemme help you clean that up!" I stammered.

As I bent down to pick up her empty coffee cup, she stopped me, pulling me back up by the hand. "It's okay. The coffee tasted like shit anyways. I'm Ellie."

"Hi, I'm Maddy. You look familiar.....Have we met before?" I examined her face more closely, trying to figure out where I knew this bubbly brunette from.

"Umm... I don't think so," she laughed awkwardly. "I just flew over here from Australia for VidCon, I've never even been to the United States before."

"Wow....that's weird," I stated, still staring at her, searching my mind in a vain attempt to figure out why she looked so familiar. "So who did you come to see?"

"Harry Styles, duh. He's my absolute favorite YouTuber of all time, and he's my husband, and we're getting married, and we're going to have 27 children, and just wooooow," she squealed, causing me to join right in. Fangirls always have instant bonds like that and I loved it.

We walked toward Harry's booth together, enthusiastically talking about how much we loved him and his videos. Calum trailed behind us, continuing to stare at his phone while Carolyn continued to stare at him, looking like a lost puppy. It was 4:12 by the time we found Addy. And then, I saw a curly headed figure walk out on stage, waving to the audience once again.

I felt my stomach collapse in on itself and my breathing quickened. My head began to throb again and I grabbed onto Addy for support.

I'm not passing out this time.

"Hello again," Harry grinned widely as he scanned the crowd. "I'm going to be picking the winners for my little contest in like... two minutes, so get ready!"

He was wearing tight black skinny jeans with a hole in one of his knees, those ratty brown doc martens that could only look good on him, and a Green Bay Packers hoodie.

"Okayyyy ladies and gents, our lucky grand prize winner is...." Harry drawled, shoving his gigantic hand into a large glass jar containing every contestant's name. After a few seconds of digging around, he finally chose a slip at the very bottom of the box and pulled it out.

"Ellie Jacobson."

"HOLY SHIT!!! I JUST WON!! OH MY GOD!" Ellie screamed from her spot beside me.

I didn't win.

My stomach dropped in disappointment, but I faked a smile as I hugged Ellie and congratulated her. I watched her rush up to the stage and run right into Harry's open arms, turning away when I felt tears burn the back of my eyes. The size of the crowd slowly dwindled down until my roommates, my brother and I, were the only ones left standing before the empty stage.

It was over.

We began walking away in an awkward silence, and I was just outside the venue when I heard Ellie call my name from behind.

"Maddy! Wait up!" I slowed down and turned to greet her. "I...um...thought I would be leaving the city tonight after VidCon, so I...um didn't book a hotel... But since I won the contest, I'm staying for another week or two. I was...umm... wondering if I could crash at your place for a bit, if that's okay with you?"

"Of course it is," I smiled politely and hugged her again. Calum looked at me with judgmental eyes, obviously knowing the real reason I agreed to let her stay at our apartment.

If Ellie was rooming at our place, I could convince her to persuade Harry and Niall to come pick her up from the apartment. And then I could finally meet the love of my life-at my own house too. I mean she seemed cool, but let's be honest, I wouldn't have taken her in if it wasn't for Harry. I already had four other people-sometimes five-living with me. I didn't have much more room. I winked at Calum, causing him to scoff and roll his eyes at me. The car ride was long and silent, with everyone staring out the windows.

"Madz, get the hell outta my car. I gotta go meet up with Ash back at our place. We have some work to finish up. I'll see you tomorrow maybe," Calum stated bluntly, pulling up in front of our building and motioning for us to pile out.

I stuck my tongue out at my moody brother, which rewarded me a middle finger and a door slammed in my face. We all piled into the elevator and I pressed the button for the 11th floor.

"So do you have any more roommates, or is it just you three girls?" Ellie interrupted me before I could answer. "By the way, your brother is literally sex on legs.. does he have a girlfriend?"

I laughed, nudging a red-faced Carolyn in the stomach. "I have two more roommates. Guys. But they are literally the gayest people you will ever meet. I'm sure you'll absolutely love them."

So we walked down the hall to room 11-47, and Addy unlocked the door to our humble abode.

"Saaaaam, Luuuuuuke, we're home and we have a guest," I called to my friends, praying they weren't in the process of doing the dirty in some strange new area located in the apartment.

They walked out of the kitchen, each quickly fixing their hair when Luke stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes filling with hatred.

"Ellie?" Luke gawked at the brunette still standing on our welcome rug.

"Luke?"
