Saving Addison White (A famous Harry Styles fanfiction)

"Addie, I don't mean to be a killjoy but," Louis snatched the bottle of whiskey from my hand and when I tried to take it back he held it behind him. "You've had way too much to drink..." "No I haven't," I spat out and tried to grab the bottle again, again I failed. "Louis, just give me the damn bottle!"


"Drinking this will only make you feel worse," he argued.


"I deserve to feel like crap. I can't believe I let her talk me into doing it!" I ranted, I didn't want it to slip but it did and I desperately hoped Louis didn't hear me.


"Let who talk you into doing what exactly?" he questioned curiously, pulling a chair next to mine. "And don't tell me nothing... I always know when you're lying to me."


"Molly," I blurted out. "My mom, she found out! She found out about Harry and me, she called me this morning and told me to end things with Harry..." I drunkenly explained. "I'm way too scared of her, I couldn't do it. I couldn't say no..."


He stayed silent, I turned to him -- I needed to know what he was thinking -- and there was nothing. It was completely blank. Instead he said: "I don't understand..."


"Well," I sighed, I didn't want to really talk about Harry and I getting together again but I was going to have to. "Harry and I have been secretly seeing each other... Last night he came over to my hotel, he was drunk and the paparazzi must've seen him. This morning it was on all those gossip sites and Molly must've read it."


"You and Harry? Together?" Lou seemed genuinely shocked and I felt bad, I really had wanted to tell him but just couldn't risk too many people knowing about Haz and I reuniting. "I don't understand, I thought you weren't talking..."


"We lied! We lied to everyone and it's terrible but we just..." I was at a lose for words. "It wasn't intentional, it's just that we didn't want people to know in case something like this happened."


"What did you tell Harry?"


"I told him that I've fallen for another," I couldn't even say the words, I choked a little. "I told him that I was sorry, Louis... I'm horrible."


"You're not horrible," he placed the bottle of whiskey on the table and sighed. "I just don't understand why you let your mom continue to bully you..."


I stayed silent and started fiddling with my nails. When I looked back at Louis he was looking at me with such sympathy which only made me want to cry more: "I love him..." was the only answer I could give.


"I just... You have so much over your mom."


"Like?" I questioned, crossing my arms across my chest. "I have nothing on her."


"She bullies you and she slept with your boyfriend," he blurted the last part before he could stop himself and my eyes widened.


"Wh-what?" I asked.


My heart sank to my stomach and all the alcohol I'd consumed starting rising up my throat so I ran to the bathroom to barf it all out. I barfed until I could no longer stand on my feet, I fell onto the bathroom floor and started sobbing. Loudly and my body shook uncontrollably. It was like someone had shoved a dagger into my heart and twisted it.


"Addison... I didn't mean to..." Louis pulled me into his arms and I didn't push him away. Instead I rested my head on the crook of his neck and sobbed.


"It hurts Louis," I sobbed into his neck. "It hurts so much!" My heart was shattered and a small part of me died. "How do I make it stop?"


"I don't know Addie, I wish I could make it stop, I really do but..." he trailed off and started stroking my hair.


"Did it happen on the night you went out with Harry?" I asked softly once I'd calmed down. I pulled away from Lou's embrace and looked him in the eyes, he looked a little confused. "Is that when they had sex? The night you guys went out?"


He shook his head. "No, way before that," he spoke softly. "Look, I don't know what it is with your mom but she's... She must've threatened him or something," he shrugged. "They went out for dinner one night, of course he didn't tell anyone..."


"Then how did you find out?"


"A friend messaged me," he smiled and pushed a stray hair behind my ear. "After the dinner he wasn't the same, I don't know what she said to him but he changed."


"Did he tell you that he had sex with her?"


"He was drunk out of his mind that night, it slipped. I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone," he looked down at his jeans. "I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell him you knew."


"I won't tell him," I chuckled and shook my head. "I don't think he wants to talk to me after what I told him..."


"You don't know that love."


I sighed and rested my head on Lou's chest, letting the sound of his heart beating calm me. I started thinking, about everything. I thought about how pathetic my life was, to people I was a little spoilt brat who got everything she wanted but it wasn't the case. I was tormented which led me to my excessive drug use in the past.


"I think I should go back home, tomorrow," I mumbled softly. "I can't stay here, I'm going to miss you guys but right now I just need to be away from Harry."


"You're drunk, the alcohol's making you say everything you're saying right now."


"No, I mean it," I sighed and got onto my feet. "I think I need to sleep, after I call Demi... I need to explain why I'm not sleeping at the hotel."


"I'll give you some space," Louis got onto his feet and pulled me in for one last hug before leaving the bathroom.


I got into the guest bedroom, shut the door behind me and got comfortable on the bed. I opened my phone book and the name that was highlighted was Harry's name, I felt tears stinging in my eyes. I wanted to call him but I knew it didn't work that way, we were no longer together and besides, he was mostly likely out with friends having a grand time.


"Addie, hey, I was just about to leave my suite," Demi said cheerfully over the phone.


"Don't," I said, sounding not so enthusiastic and trying my hardest not to sound drunk -- it failed. "I'm staying at Louis' for the night..."


"Are you drunk?"


"Not now Demi, please..." I softly pleaded, feeling a slight headache creeping in on me. "I'll see you tomorrow morning, okay?"


"I uh," she was confused, it was obvious in her tone but she wasn't going to argue. "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight."


"Goodnight," I hung up, threw the phone across the bed and screamed into the pillow. Life - 1 and Addison - 0, I just couldn't win and the more I thought about it the more my head hurt.

'@addiewhite: so much for my happy ending'


Immediately, I got responses from fans. They were all concerned asking if everything was okay. I rested on the pillow and started going through the tweets I was receiving:

'@addiewhite what? @Harry_Styles doesnt luv u?'

'@addiewhite, I'm sure u'll be ok princess'

'@addiewhite dnt be sad'

'@addiewhite u're perfect'


I skipped the negative ones, really the last thing I needed was negativity. I was going through my time line when a tweet caught my attention, it was tweeted by Harry and it read:


'@Harry_Styles: losing the one thing that you truly love'


That was all it took to break me down completely. I was devastated and I hated myself for it but then I remembered that he'd slept with my mother which made me upset. I hated my mom for it and I hated Harry because he's betrayed me. I also hated the world for being totally unfair, it was time for me to sleep and for a few hours forget about the troubles of the world.
