Saving Addison White (A famous Harry Styles fanfiction)
Chapter Eight: Silent Treatment and Unrequited Love
“Addison White, congratulations on making it onto every gossip rag in the whole world,” said a very sarcastic and annoyed Naomi on the other end of the line. “Drinking in public, taking body shots off male strippers, and giving lap dances to complete strangers. If I didn’t know you, I’d think you were a hooker oh and how can I forget the video of you and Harry having a fight outside the club going viral all over the internet!” she continued venting.
My head was buzzing and I was feeling both annoyed and confused, I didn’t understand why she had to call me so early in the morning. For fuck’s sake the sun hadn’t even come up and I was still trying to figure out how I’d gotten to Harry’s hotel room. Also, I wasn’t paying much attention to her since all I could think of was getting pills for my headache.
“Addison, are you even listening to me?” she yelled so loudly that my ears started buzzing but it helped bring me back to earth. “Addison, I’m not happy with how you’ve been behaving lately…”
“I’m trying…” it was the only sentence I could put together but I hoped it was enough to shut her up. “I don’t know what you want me to say Naomi.”
“Had you forgotten the fact that you had to be on a plane first thing in the morning? To London, where you were going to be promoting your brand new movie… You can’t afford any bad publicity at this point!”
“Naomi, I think you need to calm down,” I said calmly and sighed, running my fingers through my hair. The minute I heard the bathroom door open I looked up and my eyes met Harry’s as he walked out of the shower, he was in nothing but a white towel around his waist with water droplets clinging onto his perfect body. I was mesmerised and it took everything inside me not to swoon. He didn’t smile at me though, he didn’t even acknowledge me, but instead he walked over to the armchair where he’d laid his clothes.
“Addie!”
“Look Naomi, I’ll call you later. Okay?” I said not tearing my eyes from Harry’s back. “I need to go shower and get ready for my flight, okay?”
“Demi’s on her way to the hotel with your luggage and clothes,” she was so formal and curt with me. “I’ll see you in a week. You and Harry need to behave. No more public fights and try to…”
“I get it, I get it,” I sighed, annoyed with hearing the sound of her voice. Harry and I weren’t going to be having any problems considering the fact that we couldn’t look each other in the eyes let alone say a simple ‘good morning’ to each other. I didn’t know what the fight was about, the night was a blur to me but I knew it was bad. “We’ll behave, I’ll be have. I’ll do everything I have to do but right now I really have to go, okay?”
“Bye Addie,” she said before hanging up and I got out of bed after replaying the whole conversation in my head. I wondered what the paparazzo had caught on camera because although I couldn’t remember the fight quite clearly I did remember telling him that he wasn’t my boyfriend, I guess I was going to have to find the video to watch it.
I got off the bed and walked to the bathroom that was still filled with steam from Harry’s shower, I didn’t want to speak to him not because I was angry at him but because I was scared to talk to him. I didn’t want him to start yelling at me, it was the last thing I needed and I still had ± 11 hours with him on the plane.
After the shower I went back into the empty room and found that my outfit was already laid out for me on the bed which meant that Demi had arrived. I quickly got dressed in a pair of my comfortable black skinny jeans, a white tank top and my black leather jacket with a pair of my combat boots. I tied my blonde locks into a messy bun since it was tangled from the previous night, applied a little make-up and I was good to go. Demi was sitting in the living room flipping through a magazine and when I walked into the room she looked up at me, smiled then scowled which told me that she, like Naomi, was pissed off at me.
“Paul took your luggage for you,” she said without bothering to greet me. She got off the couch and made her way towards the front door. “Make sure you took everything, you have an entire month in England…”
I groaned loudly, I was regretting the trip but there wasn’t much I could do to get out of it. Besides it was going to help a lot with my fake relationship, the deal was to keep the whole relationship up for three months. The ride down to the parking lot was a long and awkward one because Demi and I weren’t speaking. When we got to the parking lot, all the boys – except for Harry – were excited to see me and pulled me in for a hug.
“Are you okay?” asked Niall when we pulled away from the hug, making sure to keep his voice low because he didn’t want anyone to hear.
“Yeah,” I forced a smile on my face. “I just didn’t sleep too well,” I fake yawned. “And I think Harry’s really pissed off at me…” I admitted truthfully.
“He was worried sick about you last night,” Niall said and I couldn’t hide the surprise in my face. “Oh don’t give me that look, he really does care about you. When he got the phone call from Demi he…” he trailed off. “After the fight he came back distraught, he tried to act like he didn’t care but I guess he just couldn’t sleep not knowing if you were safe or not so he went to fetch you.”
I turned to Harry who was standing not so far from us having a conversation with Demi and Louis. He cared, he actually cared about me but I knew he wasn’t going to be admitting it anytime soon. It made me smile but it soon faded when I realised that the words I’d said to him might have ruined the whole relationship…
“Time to get into your cars!” Paul announced. He walked towards one of the cars that Zayn and Liam were standing.
We all got into the SUVs, I got into one with Louis, Demi and Harry that was driven by one of the drivers. The drive to the airport was rather short, no one – except for Louis – was talking to me because they were pissed off so I spent the entire ride going through my twitter. #haddisonisover was trending on twitter which annoyed me because like always the stupid fans were assuming things again but I wasn’t prepared to deal with the rumours just yet…
Just as I was replying to a tweet from Selena, the car stopped and the door opened. I was so glad because I really didn’t want to be around Demi and Harry anymore, not because I hated them but the energy was just too tense for me. I walked over to Niall and Liam who were debating about who got the window seat on the plane, believe it or not it was a fascinating debate and I wasn’t going to say a single thing. Niall was giving his argument when I was pulled away from them by Harry.
I was confused and I was about to say something when he pulled me in for a kiss on the lips. The passion of the kiss caught me by surprise but I didn’t push him away from him or once flinch, instead I embraced the attention. I took the kiss as his way of apologising for ignoring me the entire morning and telling me that everything was okay. He tangled his fingers in my hair. It was only when I pulled away from the kiss did I see why he’s actually kissed me and my blood began to boil even though I wasn’t going to explode on him.
At the fences were some fan girls and a few paparazzi standing at the fences with cameras taking pictures of the boys, Demi and me standing next to the planes. Of course he’d only done it for the cameras, he was pissed off at me and the last thing he wanted to do was kiss me. He just wanted to show the world that we were perfectly happy and fine.
“Can’t have people thinking there’s trouble in paradise after just a few weeks of dating,” he said softly before kissing me on the forehead. “So try look more excited, it’s not too hard love.”
I forced a smile onto my face but it still stung in my heart. I knew that Harry and I weren’t together for real so I didn’t understand the pain and for the first time ever I hated being his fake girlfriend but I didn’t have the urge to stop because I would have rather been his fake girlfriend than be nothing to him…
I had four weeks in London, two of those weeks were going to be used for work to promote the new movie ‘As Told By Lily’ and the other two weeks were going to be used to prove to the world that Harry and I were madly in love with each other before he had to fly off to South America where they were going to be kicking off their Where We Are Tour. A month wasn’t a long time but a lot could happen in those four weeks and all I had to be is brave and suck it up.
Notes
So, Harry and Addison… I think it’s safe to say that Addison feels something for Harry even though she won’t admit it which sucks because he doesn’t feel the same about her. Or does he…? Well you just have to read and see.
Also, we’re going to move to London for a few weeks, just to get little Addie away from the Joe and parents drama but it’s not the last of it. Thank you to everyone who’s read so far, you don’t know how much it means to me. I love reading stories about famous One Direction so if you know any, I’m currently reading ‘All For The Press’ and that’s good but if you have any more, please do tell.
The story’s only going to get more complicated after this so just keep reading on. Can’t believe I’m moving on to chapter 10 already! What to expect from the next chapter? Well, more betrayal, a heated sex scene between Harry and Addison, a lot of drinking and we’re going to find out Addison’s big secret as well as see things from Harry’s POV.
Okay, I think I’ve said enough now! Xx.
