Impulse [A Harry Styles FanFiction]

Chapter 28- Falling

POV Auden

We stand huddled around a high top table and Demi and Carly leave to go dance. After a few glasses of champagne I feel relaxed, energized, and excited.

Liam, Louis, Niall leave to go dance- Niall and Louis really, but Liam has to supervise. Zayn and I continue to nerd out as we spot well known artists. Harry's been pretty silent- he sips his drink and listens but doesn't add any commentary.

"Him there! That's Sawyer Lowe. Have you seen his abstract pieces? Brilliant." Zayn gushes.

I follow his gaze to a serious looking man with grey hair talking to another businessy man at the bar.

"His work is incredible. One of his oil painting sold last summer at an auction near my house for like twenty four grand." I tell him.

"Mad. That's absolutely mad." Zayn echos in shock.

Harry snaps out of his trance and asks, "I'm going to get another drink, Auden do you want anything?"

"I'm fine." I assure him.

"I do! I'll come with you Harry." Zayn tells him.

He nods and Zayn follows him. I watch them walk into a crowd of people. I don't have much time to get lost in my thoughts because I get a tap on the shoulder.

"Hi babe! I'm Taylor, so good to meet you." a blonde with cherry lipstick hugs me.

Taylor Swift. It is Taylor Swift. I don't know whether to fangirl or cry out of embarrassment so I just hug her back and smile.

"You too! You look amazing." I tell her.

She really does. Lacey black dress, cherry red lipstick, Chanel earrings and necklace- beautiful.

"Tell me all about your night. I wanna hear all about it. Were you nervous? Aw, of course you were sweetie." she murmurs.

I keep smiling but I feel so uncomfortable. She's speaking to me with a stuck up attitude and acting like I'm some incompetent toddler and I hate it.

Yeah, she's Taylor Swift, but she doesn't need to talk down to me like this. I open my mouth to reply but she cuts me off before the words can leave my lips.

"Oh my god tell me about Harry! Has he taken you to all the cute sushi places and rooftop restaurants in Charleston?"

How does she...? Why is this familiar.

"Yeah! It was great."

"I know. He took me to the same ones." she smiles smugly.

Involuntarily, my face falls. I don't like where this conversation and I know it will not end well.

"Harry didn't tell you that we used to go out?" she laughs nervously.

Um no that never came up. I had no idea Harry existed until like a month ago give me a break. I literally heard about him and Taylor's past relationship TONIGHT from an interviewer.

"No, we never spoke about." I admit.

"I mean not to burst your bubble or anything but you two won't last. He called me two nights ago asking me to spend the night with him at the Plaza Hotel. I'm going to be totally honest with you, I have feelings for him. And I guess I was right, he does too." she smiles smugly.

My mouth hangs open. I have no words for her, I'm just frozen standing in complete shock.

"Trust me girl, I'm just looking out for you. It all may seem like stars, hearts, and rainbows but it won't last. He did this to Selena, he did this to me, and now he's going to do it to you. He'll introduce you to his mom, snuggle, watch rom coms, and take you on breath taking city dates- but it's the same routine. See you around doll." her red lips form in a tight lip smile as she bats her eyelashes innocently at me before spinning on her heal and strutting away.
