All My Life: A Harry Styles Fan Fiction

Chapter 8

I gaped at Emma, unsure of what to think. So what if I didn't like Shane anymore? Emma thought I still did, and NO best friend should go off hooking up with the guy you have a crush on! This was low.

"Mads, I- I can explain." Emma stated, guilt spreading across her face.

"I'd like to see you try!" I yelled then turned on my heal and sprinted away so that nobody would see the tears teetering over the edge of my eyelids.

I heard Harry say something in disgust, then he started to chase after me, yelling, "Mads! Maddie!"

I escaped the diner and ran to the parking lot. The tears were pouring down my face by now as I frantically looked left and right deciding where to run off to. I remembered a small park a few blocks down. It was called "Mixon's Park" named after George Mixon who did something great, or whatever. I took off down the road, maneuvering the occasional trash can or person. Pedestrians stared me down, probably wondering what kind of teenage girl would be dashing down the streets, sobbing. I just couldn't believe that Emma would betray me like this. But, I wasn't the only one who was in despair at the moment. Harry liked Emma now and he had just seen her shoving her tongue down another boys throat.

"Maddie!" Someone yanked my arm backwards.

I jerked my head around to find Harry gasping for breath.

"Mads.." Harry heaved. "I-have a-plan."

I stared at him hard.

"Tell me."

"So, you want us to FAKE DATE to make Harry and Emma jealous? You think that's gonna work?"

"Of course it will! If they see us with other people, they'll be jealous and realize who they want to be with."

Harry and I were sitting in "Mixon's Park" on a rusty old park bench.

I gazed up at the cloudy sky watching the storm clouds roll in.

My nose was stuffy, my eyes were swollen from crying, and my face was puffy and red, yet the idea of Harry and me dating, even if it would be fake, made me feel like flying.

"It's about to rain, Harry. We need to go home."

"Say that you'll go along with the plan, please Mads."

"I felt a raindrop! Lets go!"

"Maddie. Say you'll do it."

I liked teasing Harry. It made me feel as if I had control over him for once.

I started to run back to the restaurant to get to Harrys car when he grabbed my arm.

"Madeline Elise Mary Richards! You answer me now!!"

I covered my mouth to hide the laughs escaping from my mouth.

"Fine Haz! I will go along with your idiotic plan."

I gave him a sly grin and pretended to be annoyed that we had to do this, but In all honesty, this was the best plan I'd ever heard.
