Impulse [A Harry Styles FanFiction]

Chapter 16- You & I

POV Auden

My phone reads 9:32. I got a solid 8 hours of precious sleep last night.

Last night was so much fun! I got to watch the boys preform another show and afterwards we got dinner at a diner. I guess diner food is this groups thing.

Liam, Niall, and I are plotting the best prank ever. Last night we stopped at a convenience store to pick up snacks, but we picked up a few necessary items to help us with the prank war.

Pre-made mashed potatoes and ice cream cones to be specific. We plan on freezing the the mashed potatoes and scooping and serving it as if it's vanilla ice cream.

The boys will totally not see it coming and I can't wait to see their faces. It's going to be priceless.

I head to the bathroom to shower so I can stay out of everyones way by the time all the boys are up. I start the water and take a seat to wait when POP!

I let out a shrill scream as my heart beats out of my chest. There was small but sharp pangs coming from underneath the toilet seat. I get up quickly picking up the seat to see the bowl lined with pop its.

I pick up one that hadn't popped and storm out of the bathroom. Right when I swing open the bathroom door, Harry's waiting with his phone and the guiltiest smirk across his face.

I chuck the pop it at him and he lets out a yelp jumping up and down hysterically laughing.

"Good morning Auden!" Louis and Zayn echo at the same time.

"You all suck." I shout slamming the bathroom door behind me.

I take a quick hot shower and change quickly into jean shorts and a cute pink top I got from a boutique in Miami. I comb my wet hair, clean my teeth, and apply just the right amount of mascara before leaving the bathroom.

The boys are gathered on the couch crowding around some magazine.

"I mean it's positive publicity. All magazines do this, there's isn't anything to be cross about." Liam suggests.

"What's going on?" I ask.

Niall slides the magazine towards me. In the corner of one of the first pages is a picture of Harry and I walking through the mall together. The caption reads:

One Direction pop star spotted with Auden James at Dolphin Mall in Miami Florida. Rumors have been speculating about a possible couple. Fans are going absolutely nuts about Styles's potential girlfriend. Young love at it's finest!

"Auden and I were going to wait until we were both ready to come out to the press. I know there's nothing I can do and this was bound to happen. But, I didn't think the press would get a load of this so quickly." he sighs.

I stare at the magazine in shock.

When I was younger I always dreamed about being featured in a magazine. Modeling in an expensive dress at a celebrity gala or award show. But, I never imagined an article being written at me with a candid paparazzi shot.

It felt weird.

"Well look at the bright side Harry, you don't look awful." Niall tries.

He grazes his finger across the picture of Harry walking close next to me. Harry looked, well... perfect. His curly hair swept at a perfect angle and his subtle smile looked effortless.

Then there was me walking beside him. My face looked relaxed but I didn't look worthy enough to be standing next to Harry. I felt awkward staring at a picture of myself when hundreds of models, celebrities, and young girls could criticize and rip me apart for not having made a name for myself.
