Impulse [A Harry Styles FanFiction]

Chapter 18- Carolina

POV Auden

Tonight's the Charlotte show and the boys are extremely hyper. It's 9am and they are all bouncing off the walls before their first interview.

My phone has been overheating from the amount of incoming comments, follows, retweets, and likes pouring through my socials. I want to chuck my phone out the window.

One of the few positives of my growing following is a bunch of companies have been contacting me to advertise their products on Instagram which is super cool. And even better the One Direction fan base is super invested in our prank war.

There are actual fan accounts created over the pranks Harry and I tweeted. #TeamHarry and #TeamAuden are even trending tags on Twitter! The fans are so dedicated.

Team Harry took a major point at 3am this morning when Niall got up to use the bathroom. Someone duct taped an air horn to the wall so when he opened the door, he would set it off.

Not only did it wake up the entire bus, but Niall screamed so loud that I bet the entire east coast heard his shriek. He took a picture of the set up and tweeted about it which got the fans retweeting and reposting the picture like crazy!

The boys have a TV interview today and I decided I'm go shopping to pass the time. The bus is parked in the heart of Charlotte where there's a huge mall with a bunch of outlets.

Paul said it was fine as long as I was back at the bus by 12:45 since they have to be at the arena by 1:00 for rehearsals and all that.

I trot off the bus steps in black jean shorts, Harry's grey Addias crew neck, and my black converse. My hair is still loosely curled from last night and my eyes are still a little black from the mascara that didn't want to come off, so I wear my favorite Chanel sunglasses.

I head to Tory Burch, the first outlet on the strip. I love outlets because the designer store prices are so much better.

I end up buying some cute flip flops and a new trendy bracelet. Total score.

Is it weird that I love shopping by myself? I always feel super relaxed and in control.

I walk out the store with total confidence. I send my mom a text asking her if she wants me to pick her up anything when my bliss is interrupted by a heard of 4 or 5 teen girls.

"Oh my god you're Auden James!" one of the girls shrieks.

This is so weird. I smile and glance around nervously.

"Hi ohmygod its so nice to meet you!" another girl gushes.

"You too!" I say.

"Auden, I think you're absolutely stunning! I love your outfits- your so trendy!" another girl beams.

"That's really sweet, thank you!" I tell her.

I did not expect this encounter to ever take place in a million years.

"What is it like dating Harry?"

"How long have you known each other?"

"OMG! That is totally Harry's sweatshirt!"

How does she know that?

"Auden, can I please take a picture with you!" one of the girls squeals.

"Uh... yeah sure!"

I take a bunch of selfies with the girls and they start to calm down. I just remind myself that they are super excited to see me because I am closest thing to their celebrity crush.
