They Don't Know About Us
Chapter 2
*Justice’s P.O.V*
After the concert ended Katie and I left the arena heading for Atlanta. We stopped along the way for food and to change into comfortable clothes. I took the opportunity to upload the picture of Harry and I onto my Instagram.

“I wonder if he still has my number.” I wondered aloud as we sat in the local Waffle house.
“Who?” Katie asked before taking a bite of her food.
“Harry…”
Her eyebrows pulled together, “When did Harry get your number?”
I wore a blank expression, “Are you serious?”
She smiled, “Oh yeah. I forgot about that since I stood by quietly.”
“Bitch you a damn lie!” My hand slapped the table. Katie shrugged carelessly and continued eating. I looked down at my own plate. Majority of my chocolate chip waffle was gone. The acids in my belly were probably working on it. After taking a small bite I picked up my back iPhone 4s and froze.
Harrystyles liked your photo.
“You look like someone stole your Twitter handle.” Katie commented. I held the phone up for her to see. “Oh shit he followed you!”
“What?” I shook my head pulling the cell phone to me. “No he just-” My eyes widened, “Holy shit he followed me!” Excitement cursed through my veins. “Maybe he does still have my number.” My incorrect logic came out.
“Or he saw the notification when he first logged in.” Katie offered a more reasonable explanation. She had a habit of being blunt at the most unnecessary times.
My smile faded, “Don’t kill my vibe.”

*Harry’s P.O.V*
I laid in the bunk on the tour bus bored. The lads were doing their own things. Absentmindedly I pulled out my mobile deciding to filter through my Instagram. There were thousands of notifications, but unfortunately there was no way for me to respond to all of them.
Xlivelovemusic mentioned you: “@harrystyles new friendstagram!”
Without a second thought I liked the photo of me and the fan who seemed familiar. It must’ve been taken this afternoon. Not sure why I was doing it, I clicked on her profile. A proper look at the profile picture struck remembrance in my brain. Her name was Justice. The memory of meeting her before the Nashville concert was fresh. She was quite fit with curious dark eyes, faint dimples in her round cheeks, and colorful hair. Even her short stature made her attractive, but the physical wasn’t the only things I remembered. Her voice was different. The way she spoke struck my interest. She had a slight accent which differed from others I’d heard.
My thumb hovered over the blue follow button as my thoughts roamed.
“I wonder what she’ll do…” I murmured as the button turned green.
“You wonder what who will do?” Zayn asked as he lowered himself into the bunk across from me.
I shrugged, “Just a bird I met today.” I turned my mobile towards him.
He nodded, “She’s fit. How’d you meet her?”
“I nearly trampled her.” I exclaimed.
Zayn chuckled, “Nice lad.”
“She gave me her number.”
“You should call her.” He suggested. I shrugged tossing my mobile to the side. Zayn laid back in the bunk. A yawn sounded, “I’m tired mare.” Within seconds his eyes were closed and his face slack. Following his lead I laid back closing my eyes.

*Harry’s P.O.V*
We had an off day before we were supposed to perform in Atlanta. Zayn’s suggestion of calling the number rang in my ears. Sitting in my hotel room I finally grew a pair and did it. I pressed the green call button bringing the mobile to my ear. The rings sounded so that I began to wonder if she would answer. When the ringing stopped I stayed silent waiting.
“Hello?” A kind voice warily answered.
“Hi,” I cleared my throat and lowered my voice. “Hi, um, is this Justice?”
“Yes,” she responded still not sure on who she was talking to.
A relieved sigh escaped my lips, “This is Harry. We met yesterday and you gave me your number.”
There was a gasp, “Oh my Thor. Hey Harry, what’s up? Sorry I didn’t recognize your voice and I didn’t know the number.”
I chuckled at her bright voice, “It’s fine babe. I’m actually in Atlanta and I was wondering, if you aren’t busy, if we could possibly meet up somewhere.” This was the moment of truth. Did she give me her number simply because we hit an awkward snag in conversation and it seemed like the right thing to do? Or was it because she wanted to talk to me again? The back of mind warned me that it could be for an entirely different reason altogether, but I ignored it.
“Um, well, I’m actually going to Six Flags with some friends, but we can always meet up tonight. I’ll be free.”
“Oh okay, that sounds fine.” I responded masking the unexplained disappointment. There was a low voice in the background that Justice reassured before turning her attention back to our conversation. “Did I catch you at bad time?”
“Not really. We were getting ready to leave.” She explained. It was clear that she was being polite.
“Well then I’ll leave you to it. Talk to you later, yeah?”
“Yeah okay. Bye Harry.” The call disconnected as Zayn entered the hotel room we were sharing.
He looked at me curiously, “You called her didn’t you?”
My shoulders shrugged, “Yeah, but she’s going to Six Flags with her friends.”
“So what?” Zayn questioned. “You can meet her there. We’re clear for the day.” He reminded me. He was more pushy than usual.
“You’re right.” I suddenly realized standing to my feet. “Come with?” Maybe it wouldn’t seem as pathetic if I dragged a lad along with me. He nodded carelessly agreeing. Looking at my reflection I was wearing jean shorts, white t-shirt, my black Converse, and a beige fedora. It seemed appropriate for an amusement park. “Ready to go lad?” I turned to Zayn who was wearing a black graphic t-shirt, dark jean shorts, and white tennis shoes. He nodded grabbing a black snap back off his bed on the way out of the door. “Right, how are we going to get out of this hotel without Paul noticing?” I suddenly stopped as we were walking towards the lift.
Zayn scratched the back of his neck, “Louis and I found a side door in the stairwells this morning.” He informed me. I motioned for him to lead the way. Sneaking off without security wasn’t a brilliant idea, but if we took them along with us it would only draw attention. I didn’t want to be noticed and I knew that Zayn wasn’t too fond of the attention. We need to be inconspicuous and we were.

*Justice’s P.O.V*
Katie and I, along with some of our other friends, walked around Six Flags having a good time. We had yet to decide which attraction we wanted to start with. A unanimous decision was going to be hard to achieve with six young adults. As my gorgeous model brunette friend, Sofia, tried to invoke some type of decision I adjusted the neon bandana tied on my head in a bow to keep down the fly away hairs from my messy bun.
“Come on,” Sofia groaned throwing her hands up in exasperation.
My arms folded across my prominent chest, “I want to go to Thunder River.” I announced.
My tall and lanky friend Tevin rolled his eyes, “But that’s a water ride.” He pointed out.
“Yes and you always go to water rides first because you’ll dry off on the other rides.” I informed the group.
Jonah nodded, “I agree.” He looked to Katie who shrugged with a bored expression.
“To Thunder River it is.” Shavonne, one of my closest friends since ninth grade, led the way. As we stood in line I chatted with Tevin and Shavonne. Upon growing tired of leaning against the railing, I jumped onto Tevin’s back deciding he could be my personal carrier. He complained, but didn’t drop me which only made me smile victoriously. “Now if I would have done that it would be a problem.” Shavonne commented.
“Yeah, but Tev Tev loves me,” I teased sticking my tongue out in her direction.
“I’ll drop you.” Tevin warned as I looked around the park. It was filled with people as usual. None the faces looked familiar… Wait. Was that… No it couldn’t be. My head shook in disbelief as the all too familiar face became clearer. I jumped down from Tevin’s back and audible gasp left Katie’s lips.
“Um, Jay do you see who I see?” She asked coming to stand beside me. I nodded silently focused.
“Who do you see?” Sofia questioned.
“No one,” I lied pulling Katie away. “What do I do?” I asked frantically.
She bit her bottom lip, “You’re asking me like I have experience in this area.” She snapped. “I’ve only had one boyfriend in my entire life!” I glanced back to make sure no one overheard us. “I’m sorry the crazy took over.” Katie apologized in a calmer voice.
My eyes rolled involuntarily, “I’ll just go speak.” Katie nodded in agreement as I turned away and walked forward. I kept my head up and eyes focused. When I got closer to my target my heart rate increased and my breathing spiked. Nervously I stopped behind him and cleared my throat, “Harry?” I questioned truly wanting to turn the other way and run.
He turned around with shades on his eyes and a smile on his lips, “Hi.” He said in the typical way of his that the world knew.
I smiled as well, “Hey.” I greeted him. “Not to be rude, but what are you doing here?” I was confused.
He shrugged, “We didn’t have anything to do today.” Just when I was about to inquire on this ‘we’ word, Zayn Malik came into view. “Uh, Zayn this is Justice.” Harry introduced us.
“Hey,” Zayn nodded clearly not sure of what else to say.
I gave a small wave, “Hello.” A glance over my shoulder showed that my friends had moved up in line. “We’re, my friends and I, are in line for Thunder River.” I announced.
“What’s that?” Zayn asked looking around.
“It’s this huge water ride, but you’re in a boat like thing the whole time. It’s classic.” Excitement laced my voice as I described the attraction. He signaled his understanding.
“Do you want to join?” I asked looking directly at Harry. He was the one I was the most interested in spending time with.
“Sure,” he agreed following me. We walked side by side with our hands dangling. My fingers twitched to be laced with his, but that would be weird. I controlled the urge long enough to introduce Harry and Zayn to my friends, who didn’t seem to care, and wait in line.
During the ride I sat beside Harry. When the first splash came I cowered near his shoulder awaiting the cold shower. To my relief it missed us. As I sat back up feeling safe, a surprised wave came soaking me. Shavonne and Katie laughed their heads off whilst I pouted unhappily. The ride continued with us getting splashed from time to time. When we got off there was a slight breeze. Being the Anemic that I am, it suddenly felt like winter in New York. My arms wrapped around my body trying to bring warmth as I shivered. Harry took noticed and carefully placed and arm around my shoulders. I looked up at him (he’s freaking tall) and smiled thankfully. He returned it.
