They Don't Know About Us

*Justice's P.O.V*
Harry and I had officially been in a relationship for a month. It was going as well as it could with us hardly seeing each other, although we talked or text messaged everyday. He promised to come visit soon before the Take Me Home tour went to Australia. My mom wanted to meet him, but I wasn't so sure about that. It felt like things were moving too soon, then again I had met his family. Everything in this relationship just seemed to move fast until you considered the fact that Harry and I had known each other for nearly three months before becoming a couple.
Tonight was Jonah's birthday and Katie had planned a get together of all our friends. We were still at our apartment getting ready to go when my cell phone buzzed on the dresser. It had been like that for awhile now. Everyday I got a new follower on Twitter and more mentions than I cared to admit. All because I was dating the greatest guy ever. Sugarscape even mentioned me in another article after the premiere.
JUSTICE NELOMS LOOKS LIKE A STAR BESIDE BOYFRIEND HARRY STYLES
What caught attention at the This Is Us premiere beside Perrie's engagement ring and the 1D boys themselves? It was Hazza's gorgeous girlfriend Justice Neloms (Twitter handle: @JayQuin94) who looked like a right star in a designer peplum dress and killer heels.
Just when we thought we couldn't get more jealous, we saw this picture and UGH!
Justice wasn't the only supportive girlfriend there as proven by the various pictures of Eleanor, Perrie, and Sophia Smith (Liam's new lady). The lucky ladies even took the time to pose for a picture together all looking fabulous in their one of a kind outfits.
Those cheeky lads sure know how to pick 'em.
Let us know what you think. Who was the best dressed of the night?
To my surprise the notification on my lock screen was a tweet from Perrie. Clicking on it I saw a picture of me and her together the night of the premiere. It was the same picture that now my AVI on tumblr.
@LittleMixOffic: I forgot to post this @JayQuin94 ahhh!!! #blondemoment
Before I had a chance to reply Katie came bursting into my bedroom holding her phone out.
“Are you replacing me with Perrie?” She asked in all seriousness. I gave her a blank expression. “Seriously, you two have been tweeting and texting a lot lately. You're nearly best friends.”
“I wouldn't say that. She's just being nice. I text Eleanor and Sophia too.” I assured her to ease any misguided jealousy she may be experiencing at the moment.
Katie shrugged her shoulders, “Does this look alright?” She motioned over the outfit she had put together.
I nodded, “I like it. You look cute.”
“Are you sure, because there's a chance that Jonah's ex will be there-”
“Why?” I interrupted her.
Katie sighed, “She's still good friends with all of his friends apparently.” Her light blue eyes rolled in annoyance.
I pursed my lips as I stuck hairpins into my hair. “Well, it doesn't matter. He's in love with you and she'll get to see what she's missing out on.”
Katie laughed lightheartedly as I grabbed my phone to take a selfie. “What are you doing?” She asked sounding intrigued.
“Sending a picture to Harry.” I answered nonchalantly as I reviewed the picture before captioning it 'I wish you were here' and pressing send.
Katie shook her head. “Where did you get that shirt?” She asked pointing to my white peplum blouse with leather sides and shoulders.
“I think I ordered it offline.” I answered not really sure. That was the problem when you shopped too much. You couldn't remember where you purchased half your wardrobe.
“It's after eight. We need to get on the road if we want to be in Huntsville by ten.” Katie advised. I nodded as she walked out of my bedroom.
Harry: Where are you going beautiful?
The sound of my text tone caught my attention. A smile played on my full lips as I saw that Harry had replied to me.
Me: It's Jonah's birthday so we're going to celebrate. I miss you!
Harry: I miss you too. I should be able to come see you next week.
Me: Oh my Thor really!?
Harry: Yep.
Me: Ah! I can't wait to see you. I have to go. Talk to you later Hazza.
Harry: I'll talk to you later love.

“Jonah!” I squealed while waddling over to my best friend's boyfriend to give him hug. When we pulled apart shortly after a devious smile coated my lips. “I don't know about you,” I sang.
“But I'm feeling twenty-two.” Katie joined in knowing my plan. “Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you! You don't know about me, but I bet you want to. Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're twenty-two!” We were dancing around as we sang. Jonah wore an embarrassed expression trying to suppress his smile.
“I'm going to go fling myself off a bridge.” He joked as we smiled proudly.
The rest of the night was spent singing, dancing, chatting, and having the occasional drink. I stood a few feet away as Katie and Jonah posed for a picture. Around us friends were talking and chatting. The so-called party was being held at a nightclub that our friend Ben managed. He worked it out so we could celebrate here without having pay a ton of money.
After the picture was taken we took a seat in one of the round booths resting our feet for a bit.
“Smile!” Shardai demanded holding her camera out to take a picture of me, Jonah, and Katie. Jonah was sitting in the middle with Katie and I on either side of him. I angled myself towards him so that I would be seen and smiled. She snapped the picture letting us see it briefly before moving on.
Two hours after midnight the party was coming to an end. We all said our goodbyes ready to go. Shardai and I were driving back to Florence without Katie. The hour car ride took a toll on us because when we got to our apartment, we both went to our rooms and crashed.
In the morning I woke up to a not so nice surprise. There were several messages from my friend Monica and missed calls as well. Katie had sent me a link which I clicked on and instantly regretted.
HARRY STYLE'S BEING CHEATED ON???
Attached to the article was the picture Shardai had taken last night only Katie had been cropped out. I groaned in annoyance as I realized there were several articles accusing me of the same thing. Going to tumblr it seemed to be even worse. The world was convinced that I had been unfaithful. Suddenly everyone knew my name.
jarryisfake: I knew there was something about Justice I didn't like.
Ship-it-I-do: Q: There are a lot of rumors going around and people are tweeting apologies to Harry. What happened?
Letitbe1D: A: The gold digger cheated on him.
Despite my better judgment but I kept scrolling. Eventually I switched from tumblr to Facebook and then to Twitter. It was all the same. The cropped picture was being used as 'evidence' of my being unfaithful fueling the already existing fire. If they didn't hate me before, they definitely hated me now.
My cell phone rang as Katie's picture appeared on the screen. I answered without a second thought needing a friend.
“Hello,” I sniffed while fighting my tears.
“Do you see this bullshit? I can't believe they think Jonah would cheat on me with you.” Katie nearly yelled into my ear.
“That's how you see this?” I asked in disbelief.
“I'm sorry. I thought it would make you laugh. Are you okay? I'm on my way home.”
I shook my head, “Every article says the same thing. I don't even want to check my messages on Twitter and tumblr. I know it's bad.”
“Yeah, you shouldn't. People can be assholes.” Katie sighed as rustling was heard in her background. “Jonah says to tell Harry he'll happily step aside.”
That made me laugh, “He's so noble.” I joked a my text tone sounded in my ear.
“I just wanted to check on you. Hang in there until I can bring you Krispy Kreme, large caramel machiatto, and cookie dough ice cream.”
Once again I sniffled, “I'll do my best.” I halfheartedly promising knowing that as soon as the call ended I would wallow in self-pity.

*Harry's P.O.V*
It was only a matter of time before the media found some way to cause drama in my relationship. I was surprised it had taken as long as it had. This was why I tried to keep my personal life private. All of the attacks on Justice only angered me.
“Have you talked to her?” My mum asked. I shook my head. I thought she would call right away, but she didn't. I figured she was busy with classes or work and yet I still wanted to know what was going with her today. “Are you sure about going there?”
“I was going to go in a few days.” I reminded her. I had decided to fly to the States tonight.
“Yeah, but Harry...” She stopped talking as I looked up at her. “Be careful.” My mum sighed wrapping me in a hug.
“I will,” I promised.
She sighed heavily, “Alright, I'm going to go. Let me know when you get there.” I nodded as my mum walked out of the door. Looking at the time it was six at night here and my flight left in three hours. Justice would probably be in class, but I decided to give her a call anyways. She answered in a miserable voice. “Justice?” I questioned to make sure it was actually her.
“Yeah,” she responded in a thick voice.
“Are you alright?” I asked hearing rustling in her background.
She sniffed, “Harry, I swear I did not cheat on you. I would never do that. I've been cheated on before!” She spoke so quickly it was nearly impossible to keep up.
“I believe you.” My hand ran through my hair as I sat there feeling guilty. Anyone could hear that she was crying and I wasn't with her. “I'm flying out tonight.” My voice was lower. “I can stay for a week if that's alright with you.”
“Are you sure you want to?”
“Justice,” I groaned. “You did nothing wrong love. I know that and so do you. Don't feel guilty. They're just looking for trouble.”
“I'm sorry maybe if I wouldn't have-”
I interrupted her before she could continue. “You don't have to apologize. It's not your fault.”
“It's not yours either.” Justice countered. It sounded as if she was no longer crying which eased my mind slightly. It was silent as we both took a few seconds to think. “What time does your flight leave?” Justice asked in a soft voice.
“In two hours.” I told her glancing at the time. “I still haven't packed.” I admitted.
She gave a small laugh. “You should probably do that dude.” My shoulders shrugged although she couldn't see me. “Besides, it shouldn't take you too long. You have like one pair of pants and five of the same shirts.”
I chuckled, “I have two pairs actually.” I corrected smugly.
Justice laughed, “Oh yeah, because that's so much better.”
“You're being mean.” I grumbled. My phone beeped letting me know that there was another call coming in. “I have to go.”
“Is your celebrity girlfriend calling?” Justice joked.
“No, I'm done with her for the week.” Her shocked gasp caused me to laugh. “Niall is calling,” I explained.
“Tell him I said hi!”
“I will. Bye love.”
“Bye Hazza. See you in, um, like twenty hours.” We slowly ended the call. I briefly talked to Niall before hurriedly packing. By the time I had finished, I had less than an hour to get to the airport. For the most part I avoided the paps, but there were a few who snapped candid photos from the distance. I ignored them going through security and boarding the plane.
