Impulse [A Harry Styles FanFiction]

Chapter 17- Little White Lies

POV Harry

"Are you sure your alright?" I ask.

All the color is drained from Auden's usual cheery face as she takes small sips of water. We had gotten ambushed by the paps after dinner, and her anxiety definitely got the best of her.

"Yeah, I just needed a few minutes. I'm all good now, I promise." she nods.

The boys went out to a sports bar a few streets away so it was pretty much just me and Auden on the bus. Auden leans on me and I slowly comb my fingers through her hair.

When I was younger, I used to have quite a few panic attacks. When I would try to calm down, I used to lay in my mum's lap and she would comb her fingers through my hair. I always found it soothing.

Once Auden had relaxed, I pull out my buzzing phone to see my mum had texted me loads.

Love the pictures Paul sent! You look  so handsome! Auden is such a beautiful young lady as well. Hoping to call you soon... Sending my love!

I was on the phone with my mum a few nights ago and I told her a little about Auden. I don't usually talk to my mum about girls so this is quite exciting for her.

The doors open and Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Louis hurry onto the bus laughing and giggling about their night. Auden sits up quickly.

The boys go on to talk about their upbeat night and all the crisps, burgers, and chicken wings they ate.

"Harry did you look at the pictures Paul took of us. They're so cute." Auden gushes showing me her phone.

I never thought Paul of all people would take such a good picture of us. The angle was fine the lighting looked good, but Auden stood out the most. She looked absolutely perfect.

I couldn't pick out one flaw on her even if I tried. My hair looked slightly untidy, but I didn't want to pick apart a picture Auden seems so thrilled over.

"Do you approve for Instagram?" she asks.

"Sure."

"What? Twitter isn't good enough for you?" Louis asks.

"Nope. My next tweet will be an embarrassing picture of Harry since I have to get him back for this morning."

"That's right!" Liam chirps up.

"Whatever you say Auden." I shake my head unconfidently at her prank ability.

"So, what's the plan for tonight?" Niall asks.

"I don't care what we do, but I'm changing like now because my feet are killing me!" Auden huffs.

"But I'm changing like now!" I mimic in a high squeaky American accent.

Auden whips around and crosses her arms.

"Harry, I so do not sound like that." she exclaims.

I shrug and hold back a laugh. She might not sound exactly like that, but it's fun getting her all worked up. I slip on some flannel pants and t shirt as I wait for Auden to return as well.

We gather on the couch and chat for while until we decide to end the night with a movie. I let the boys bicker over what movie they want. They finally decide on a comedy called Grown Ups.

"Anyone else want ice cream?" I ask.

"Ooo that sounds good. I'll get it, you stay here." Auden says getting up quickly.

Auden from time to time taps into the mum role. I don't mind it, but Louis and Zayn think its hilarious.

"Why don't you use the cones we bought last night?" Niall calls after her.

"Auden, would you throw some M&Ms on mine please?" Zayn asks.

Auden passes us our vanilla ice cream. I shove the top of my ice cream into my mouth and immediately gag. My eyes water and I do my best to swallow the bitter contents.

I look over at Liam who's enjoying his ice cream thoroughly.

Does anyone not taste how incredibly bitter it tastes? It must be expired or something because this does not taste like vanilla ice cream.

Zayn and Louis get up and they spit their mouthfuls into the sink coughing. Yeah something definitely is not right.

Auden is staring at me with a smug smile on her face and her phone camera pointed at me. You've got to be kidding me.

"Auden that was totally cruel." I shout before spitting whatever is on this cone into the sink.

"Niall, how the hell are you eating that?" Louis coughs.

Niall smiles smugly at us, "My vanilla ice cream is not only real, but tastes just fine lads."

"Then what on Earth was that?" Zayn asks.

"Frozen mashed potatoes!" Liam exclaims.

Team Auden high fives each other and I sit there dumbfounded. She most definitely has a killer video of my sour expression with watery eyes to expose me with.

"Oh Harry! Don't be a soar sport!" Liam chuckles.

Auden sits down next to me and hands me a new cone. I take it hesitantly.

"How do I know this is the real vanilla ice cream?" I ask.

"Well, it came from the carton I just scooped for myself. And judging by your faces and reactions, I would not want to dish myself those frozen mashed potatoes." she laughs.

I lick it anyway. This time it is real vanilla.

Thank god.

After the movie I climb right into bed. Tomorrow we have a show in Charolette and I'm pretty sure press inbetween rehearsals.

I scroll through Twitter and like a few of the fan photos from the Atlanta show that were still trending. I refresh my feed and posted 2 hours ago was the golden video of my zoomed in reaction.

HAHA POOR HAROLD

Omg his face

If this isn't relationship goals, idk what is

Niall's laugh is the background has me cackling

Some of the comments are quite funny. I comment Worst. Prank. Ever.☹️

I keep scrolling and come across photos that were leaked by the paps. These are never good. 

The photos are simple. Us walking through the crowd so we can get back on the bus.

I read the caption,

One Direction band member Harry Styles seen tonight, Thursday evening, once again with Auden James. Styles was caught sneaking out of the restaurant in hopes to avoid management, press, and adoring fans. Is Auden James a bad influence for the golden boy?

Oh good lord. Not a single ounce of truth in this stupid article. Do I dare read the comments?

Poor Harry caught in the middle of some gold digging skanks drama- she doesn't deserve him

Ugh can't stand her

Who even is this freak? We all know Harry can do better then this blue eyed tramp

And this is exactly what I was afraid of.
