Saving Addison White (A famous Harry Styles fanfiction)

“I know what we agreed on,” I said into the phone, trying hard to balance it between my shoulder and ear. “But things change, it’s not like I’m going to marry him, it’s just that…” the bowl I was holding in my hand slipped and fell onto the ground, shattering into a million tiny pieces. “Shit,” I cursed loudly, cringing at the sound of ceramic bowl breaking.


“Is everything okay?” asked the voice on the other side of the line. “You sound frazzled…”


“Yeah Naomi, everything’s just great,” I huffed as I bent down to start picking up the shattered pieces of ceramic. “Can I call you later? I’m having people over tonight and there’s a lot of work for me to do…”


“I understand, no need to explain everything,” she said sincerely. “I’ll see you when we have our next meeting, please consider what I’ve just told you about the relationship. Just think of everyone who’ll be affected by the decision you make… I’d hate for you to get into trouble.”


“Yes ma’am,” I taunted before hanging up and placing the phone onto the counter and started picking up the remains of the bowl off of the floor, thinking of everything I’d been told by Naomi from my meeting with the producer of my upcoming film to the thing about my relationship with Harry.


Of course my mother and father – who were the top management – weren’t happy with the fact that I was seeing Harry Styles. They didn’t know it was fake though which just made it more interesting. Me being with Harry against their wish was just the start of me being a rebel, I was planning on breaking every rule they’d ever put out there for me.


I was so caught up with my thoughts that I wasn’t focused on picking the glass off the floor and the next thing I knew there was blood dripping from my finger. I cursed under my breath before running to the kitchen sink and putting my finger under the running water which helped stop the blood flow. I’d wrapped a kitchen towel around the finger when the microwave started beeping which meant that the popcorn was ready for me to have.


Quickly I grabbed a new bowl before to fill up with popcorn then walked over to the living room where I placed it on the table next to the bowl of crisps and the big bowl filled with a variety of sweets because the people I was going to be with had a bit of a sweet tooth. Everything was set and ready for the sleepover.


“Are you 100 % sure that you don’t need any help?”


I turned around to a smiling Demi who’d been MIA over the last days, I didn’t freak out much because I just figured that she was busy with someone. it wasn’t like I was getting into a lot of trouble, since I’d been hanging out with the One Direction boys I’d been staying out of trouble so I really didn’t need her with me 24/7.


“I saw the state of the kitchen,” she explained with a chuckle at the end. “To me it looks like you need a little…”


Ding dong!


Her sentence was cut short by the sound of the doorbell so she went over to get the door whilst I put the last touches to the room. I was fluffing the cushions when something on the television caught my eyes, they were talking about me on E! News so I put the volume up and slumped onto the couch.


“Addison White’s ex-boyfriend, Joe Jonas, reveals shocking details on the pair’s romantic relationship which lasted from 2011 to 2012,” said Giuliana Rancic on the TV screen. “The Jonas Brothers’ hottie revealed that the starlet struggled with substance abuse when they were together in a recent interview with GQ magazine…” she ran her fingers through her hair.


“Yes G,” said Terence Jenkins who was standing beside her. “And this has come as a big shock to everyone. The singer revealed that throughout the interview he felt like he was losing the star more and more to substances and eventually she became ‘unrecognisable’ and ‘changed completely’.”


Slowly, I felt the bile rising up my throat but I stayed still and didn’t remove my eyes from the screen. I wanted to hear what they had to say but I also didn’t because I was afraid of what else Joe had said in the interview.


“According to what he told the magazine, he thought that he and Addison would ‘last forever’ and the whole world felt the exact same,” Giuliana continued. “But that was ruined by one selfish act which was done by Addison…” I caught my breath. “Wonder what that was.”


I froze and kept still, everything around me going completely silent. I couldn’t believe he’d divulged some secrets about our relationship after we’d agreed never to talk about it to anyone when we decided to call it quits. He broke the rule we’d all agreed on but I guess everyone was breaking the rules.


“Addison!” I was brought back to reality by the sound of Niall’s voice calling my name out excitedly. The loud Irishman was sitting next to me on the couch with his arm draped over my shoulder. “Good to finally see you again…”


I tried to speak but the words just wouldn’t come out my mouth, no matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t speak. I looked around the room at everyone, they were all wearing confused expressions on their faces and it was only when the tear came splashing on my bare thigh did I realise that I was crying. I was crying in front of the boys of One Direction as well as in front of Demi, something I’d never planned on doing.


“Addie,” said a concerned sounding Demi. “Are you okay?”


I furrowed my eyebrows, nodded my head frantically before shaking it and nodding it again. Feeling flustered, I jumped onto my feet and made a quick exit towards the front door, ignoring the confused glances that were being exchanged by the people I’d left in the other room.


“Addison,” I heard Harry call after me but the sound of his voice didn’t make me stop, I wasn’t going to stop until I was safe and sound at my secret hiding place.


That was a spot I’d had built when I’d bought the house a year ago. I’d left home and still wanted a reminder of my old life, when life was simple and I had no worry. It closely resembled the hiding spot I had at home, I’d disappear to it when my parents would shout at each other and drift off in the clouds. A dream was all I had in those days…


“Addison…”


I turned and found Harry standing behind me, a confused look on his face. He didn’t come near me though, he stayed far probably because he was scared I might lash out at him if he got too close to me and I didn’t blame him in all honesty.


“I’m fine,” I lied. “You can go back into the house now. I’ll join you guys later…”


“What happened to you back there?”


I started picking at the cut I’d gotten earlier when I was picking the broken pieces of bowl off the ground. The slight stinging was a bit of a relief for me and when I felt the blood trickling down my finger it had a calming effect on me. I made sure that Harry didn’t see it though, I had a feeling he was going to freak out if he did.


“Nothing, I overreacted,” I sighed and turned to look the other way and moments later I felt someone wrapping their arms around me and engulfing me in a hug. I turned around, with my lips slightly parted and Harry’s face just an inch away from my face. “I’m okay,” I whispered, closing my eyes and inhaling his familiar scent.


“I didn’t say you weren't,” he replied, his voice low like mine. I felt him wipe a tear from my cheek before pulling me towards him.


I lifted my head so that my lips were ready to meet his and soon we were locking lips. All of a sudden the anxiety I was feeling and all the thoughts that were running through my head vanished and in that moment Harry and I were the only people that existed in the world. We were suddenly interrupted by my phone buzzing in my pyjama pockets, a twitter notification.


There was a tweet from Demi which read: ‘@demiclarke: @addiewhite and @Harry_Styles make me want to have a boyfriend…’ and with the tweet was a picture. It had been taking just moments ago of Harry and I kissing. It looked very nice with the beautiful lights of Los Angeles in the background, the pools glimmering and sparkling and two palm trees acting as a frame. The picture made me smile.


“Look at the picture Demi posted,” I said, looking up at Harry who was already looking at me with a smile on his face. “I guess you’ve already seen it…”


He kissed me on the forehead before the two of us made our way towards the house, holding hands. We didn’t speak of what happened earlier, instead we all focused on having a night of fun but it didn’t mean I couldn’t stop thinking about the interview. I couldn’t believe that he’d spoken about our relationship to the public, he knew very well that there was a chance it would ruin the career I’d worked so hard for.


I had to make sure he didn’t say anything, even if it was the last thing I did…

Notes

Hey guys, so the story’s really starting now. I’ve introduced the problems that the story will revolve around and they are as follows:


1. Harry and Addison’s fake relationship… you know how those usually end so that will be an issue in the story.


2. We have the problem with her parents controlling her, we’ll get into that later on in the story… It will come as a big shocker!


3. We also have Joe Jonas playing the ex-boyfriend who destroyed Addie, although we don’t know how he did it just yet!


I’d like to thank my best friend for giving me the concept of this story, I appreciate it and thank you to everyone who’s read up to here. I appreciate it a lot.
