She | A Harry Styles Fanfiction

Chapter 34

"The margaritas are ready," Sofia said from the kitchen.

Since last night, many things have happened. Harry went home, knowing I needed some space for a while. I thought about texting him, but we both needed it to cool off. He got into a fight with Niall and then with his girlfriend right after. He texted me a few times, but not enough to bother me. 

I also found out last night that Hailey and Kendall were talking about me in a news article. It was trending on Twitter. Hailey was asked about everyone comparing me and Harry to her and Justin Bieber. She replied, "Who is Everly?" I thought it was cute and even chuckled a little. Then she continued to stay clueless.

"Oh, she's cute... I don't know why we're being compared. Who even is she?" Things that were obviously petty and rude. Her last statement amused me. "I don't think there's much of a comparison. I have a makeup brand, a cooking show, multiple photoshoots... and she has what? One movie coming out. I'm married to Justin Bieber, she is rumored to be with one of two guys. Harry Styles is hot, don't get me wrong, but not Justin Bieber." I didn't care that she talked about me, but bringing Harry into it made me uncomfortable.

Kendall just sat there laughing and glaring when the paparazzi would ask if she liked me. Or if she was jealous of Harry and my unannounced relationship. It was like a few mean girls in high school and I didn't want to partake in it.

Sofia was not happy about what Harry and I fought about. I could tell she was trying to comfort me, but when I told her he wanted to tell everyone about us, she shut up. No snarky comments. She looked like she was thinking about something. Like she was frustrated or annoyed with Harry. I figured he was just frustrated and said things he didn't mean.

I had meetings all day today about the clothing brand and a few jewelry meetings. I had big plans. Things were looking up for me. I had my next audition in a week, and I was collaborating with brands. All I had to worry about were the amount of texts and phone calls Harry was leaving me.

Most of his texts consisted of apologies and asking me to meet up when he gets back. I hated ignoring him, but I needed space for a while. We're both hurt and he's still erratic from last night. Not to mention all of the nerves he must be feeling at this moment while he's getting ready for the show.

The only way I could get my mind off of it was to have a girls' night. Not just Sofia and me, but I invited Zendaya, Taylor, and Selena. Selena was out of town, so it was just me, Sofia, Taylor, and Zendaya. Lizzo was busy as well. Sofia was all for it. She went out and bought a bunch of liquor and food so that we could have the best night.

It was just about us as women coming together, no boys mentioned at all. We weren't concerned with Harry, David, or anyone else. Taylor and Zendaya were excited for Sofia and me to make our specialty drinks. I was excited because two celebrities were in our little apartment.

"These are so cool. How did you make them shine like that?" Taylor asked as I handed her a blue sparkling margarita.

"Edible glitter." I shared our secret. I handed Zendaya the red one and I took the purple one.

"Mm, wow, I haven't had a good margarita in a while!" Sofia applauded, making all of us laugh.

"Let's just say, this is going to kick off a perfect Brad Pitt movie..." Zendaya added, lifting her cup. We followed her lead, clanking them together.

Thunder crashed outside as we clanked our glasses together, making us look around. Soft raindrops were falling on the window, creating a calming environment around us. We looked around and smiled at each other.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go watch this bitch!" I shouted, grabbing my margarita and running to the couch, everyone was quick to join my side.

My phone buzzed again on the coffee table, making my smile fade, and I looked down at it. It was probably Harry with another phone call or text that I was avoiding. I felt terrible for him, but maybe we just needed a little bit of space to calm down and understand what happened between us was our first fight.
