Day six

My bags were packed for London. Memories of the last time I was there flooded my mind as I drove to the closest hotel next to the radio 1 station. The last time I was here was a few months ago, when I met the lads at Funky Buddha. I never expected my life to change so drastically. Yet here I am, in a relationship with one of the biggest boyband members who is wanted by millions of girls all over the world. How did I get so lucky? My sat nav directed me through the busy motorways as I sipped on my coffee to stay awake. I could have taken the train but I felt more comfortable knowing I had my own transportation. My job at the clothing store has become unbearable. After having a conversation with my two best friends Grace and Tyler, I finally decided to let the job go. It hadn't been a week since I came back from touring with Harry and the lads and my job has become difficult. Not only was i working after hours for free, but my boss reduced my income and his snide words were becoming hard to ignore. I was now jobless and the only thing I had to look forward to was the rest of this internship. Harry didn't know. The only people who I had told about my decisions was Liam and Zayn and they both seemed uneasy to keep this secret away from their best mate. Liam told me about the new girl who he's began dating. She's a beautiful brunette and I couldn't wait to meet her. Zayn had exciting news too but he said I had to wait until he could tell me.
By the time I had arrived in my hotel, it was 1am. I was too tired to call Harry even though I knew he'd be sleeping. I changed into some pyjamas before settling in this unfamiliar bed. I was slightly worried about being in London. I knew more people would recognise me as "Harry Styles' girlfriend" and I didn't have the comfort of my own home and my support team to fall back on. I was hear until Sunday on my own. I had to look for job applications if I wanted to be able to visit Harry abroad, plane tickets weren't cheap. The boys finish the American leg of the tour and I hope Harry will be coming back to the UK..
Day seven
Harry had called and asked if I would accompany him to the TCA's. I felt horrible when I declined his offer. He still didn't know I didn't have a job to pay for a ticket back to America. Today at the internship, I had the pleasure of meeting one of the best teams in the radio department. They weren't at all serious and I felt more relaxed. That was until they began mentioning One Direction and Harry Styles. We were in the studio booth as we watched the presenter Greg James read out the latest news in the celebrity world.
"It has been confirmed that One Direction will be opening up the Teen Choice Awards this year. With 4 overall group nominations we can expect things to get pretty wild on the night. Not only that but our very own Harry Styles has been nominated for best smile and hottest male. Call in and tell us what you think about that"
I smiled at the mention of One Direction and I couldn't help but miss them. I wonder what their doing right now.. Probably sleeping? I smiled at the thought. I decided to hide in the back and quickly text Harry.
"Guess who I'm voting for hottest male?;)"
I quickly put my phone away and allowed myself to get soaked up with all the information given by our intern leader. After Greg had taken some calls the hot topic was still Harry Styles.
"Last night Harry was spotted walking the streets with an unfamiliar brunette. Has things already ended for him and Y/N?"
I choked on my own spit when I heard the words echo through the speaker. A few of the interns looked at me in confusion but soon shook it off as they carried on listening. I shouldn't believe them should I? They always assume he's with a different girl even when their just his friends.
As I walked back to my car, I got a few funny faces off people and then some cameras started flashing in my face. How the hell did they know I was here? I quickly got into my car and drove off to the hotel. I knew rumours would be circulating twitter now. Once I got home I checked my phone to find two messages. One from Harry and the other from Liam. I opened Liam's first.
"I think you should tell Harry why you can't make it to the award show. He's pissed off and thinks its his fault x" it read. I sighed in defeat and replied with a simple 'okay' before reading Harry's message.
"How should I know?" It read. How rude. I brushed it off and dialled his number.
"Hello?" He said in a monotone voice.
"Harry, hey. I have something to tell you" I rushed, not wanting to keep this dragging any longer. That seemed to bring more emotion into him.
"What is it Y/N?" He asked in a worried tone. I smiled at how easily scared he gets at those words.
"I can't come to the TCA's because.. Well because I no longer have a job and I can't afford to spend money on another ticket" I mumbled. I was ashamed. Here I was telling my millionaire boyfriend that I couldn't afford a ticket. It got me wondering again.. What the hell is he doing with me?! The phone line went quiet and I became more and more nervous.
"What happened?" He asked finally in a hushed voice. I assumed he meant what happened with my job loss so I began telling him the story.
"I'm sorry Y/N. I'm the reason why you lost your job" I could hear the sorrow in his voice making my heart break.
"It's not your fault boo. It's mine, I don't have a backbone and I let him push me around for so long. I'm glad I'm out of there" I reassured. A small smile crept on my face even though he couldn't see it. I hadn't admit that to anyone except him. I never told anyone how I thought I was a push about.
"But still Y/N.." He sighed before continuing. "How's the internship going? Are you safe in London?" He asked and I couldn't help the smile grow on my face at this concern.
"I'm fine Harry and its amazing! I met some of my favourite presenters!" I squealed happily before continuing. "They were actually talking about you" I said a little hesitantly and I proceeded to telling him what they said.
"You don't believe I'd cheat do you?" I could hear the worry in his voice and I chuckled.
"Don't worry babe, I know you aren't like that" I heard him release a deep breath as we continued with our conversation. I guess today wasn't all that bad..
Day eight
I had to wake up extra early today to be at the studio for the breakfast show. I quickly showered and dressed before heading down to the station. Nick Grimshaw was in the booth as he talked about the latest gossip and played silly games with his co worker. I was enjoying myself until I was mentioned.
"A little bird told me we have one of my good friends girlfriend in the studio with us today" my breath hitched wondering who he meant. His co worker asked who's girlfriend.
"The one and only Harry Styles' girlfriend of course. She's doing an internship here. How crazy is that?! Small world eh? I haven't seen Y/N yet but I know she's in the studio today"
My breathing became heavy as all eyes were on me. I couldn't handle all the stares as I looked down nervously and took a deep breath wanting nothing more than to crawl in my bed and hide. Nick came out of the booth and into the studio and told me i was spending lunch with him which I reluctantly accepted.
"You know, Harry didn't mention that you wanted to work in radio" Nick said as we looked for a decent place to eat. My palms were sweaty and I had a feeling people around us were staring obviously recognising Nick.
"Oh, yeah. I don't think he wanted you to know you had competition" I said, making us both chuckle. The best way to relieve being nervous was by making yourself and the other person laugh, so far I was doing well I think. I felt myself relax more when we found a sandwich shop and ordered something to eat.
"I'm surprised no one realised you know" Nick said and I laughed in response.
"I kinda liked it that way" I teased as I took a bite out of my food.
"Sorry but people should know" he responded and I raised my eyebrow.
"If I flaunted my relationship people will think I'm in it for the fame. I don't want that, I just want me and Harry to have a relationship with no bad blood. I really really like him" I whined and he chuckled.
"He really really likes you too" he emphasised and I couldn't help but blush. "Well now that I've mentioned it live on radio, you can expect more flashing lights" he playfully added and I punched him in the arm.
"You are not forgiven for this!" I reminded him making us both laugh.
When I got home, my mentions were exploding and I decided it was time for a tweet. I tweeted a photo of me and Grimmy and tagged him in, noticing he had already tweeted me.
"Don't think @Y/T/N will ever forgive me at this rate!" I laughed before retweeting and replying.
"@grimmers you payed for lunch, that's a start ;)" I chuckled lightly to myself before noticing I had a text from Harry.
"Nicks taken a liking towards you! Should I be worried?;)" I laughed again at his playful remark before replying.
"I don't know, maybe?;)" I replied with a smile. The smile on my face kept growing and growing today, I felt as though I was glowing. I guess the mention of Harrys name had that affect on me.
I was missing him more after Nick had told me all his embarrassing stories. I loved their friendship, it was cute. That night I slept with a smile on my face knowing I had people who support our relationship.
Day nine
Flashing lights welcomed me at 9am in the morning. The bright lights made my eyes go funny as I stumbled into the studio. All eyes were on me and I couldn't help but notice the other interns whispering behind my back. I brushed it off and continued with the day. I had met the other presenters and they took a liking towards me. All the other interns were stuck up and/or nervous. I'm normally not one to judge but wanting a job in the radio world means you have to be able to speak aloud to people you don't know. I spent the day in pure bliss until I was approached by one of the bosses here at Radio 1.
"Has anyone interviewed you before?" He asked me with a raised eyebrow. I shook my head no and looked at the ground. I wonder why he's asking me this..
"Well it seems everyone here has nothing but positive things to say about you" he continued and I looked at him with wide eyes.
"Is that a good thing?" I asked a little hesitantly making him chuckle.
"It's an amazing thing! You're still in university. Am I right?" He asked me with a small smile which I returned.
"Yes. One more year to go!" I said a little too excitedly making him chuckle.
"Well I was wondering and you can say no.." He started and I gestured for him to continue. "How would you like a job working with the radio station?" He asked and my eyes went wide. Did I hear him right?
"That would be amazing!" I squealed, clapping my hands like a seal. I didn't care how silly I looked.
"Well I hear you are good friends with our very own Nick. I'll let him know the details so he can pass it on to you" he said and I nodded, shaking his hand and repeating "thank you" numerous times. This day has taken a pleasant turn.
I was skyping Harry and the boys when I announced what the happened at the internship today and they were ecstatic. Harry kept telling me how proud he was of me and Liam had a smug look on his face, knowing that it was all because of him. I owe it to him for convincing me to apply for this internship and whatever happens in the future, it's all because of that extra push he gave me and for that I will be forever thankful.
"I wish you were here" I said once the boys had left and it was just me and Harry alone on Skype. I touched the screen as though it was him but I felt nothing. I was missing his touch, his warmth, the light beating of his heart as I lay in his chest.
"Me too. I miss you more than you know Y/N" Harry said and a heart breaking frown etched across his face. I hated seeing him frown, it didn't suit him.
"Hey! Like I said before, distance makes the heart grow fonder. It makes me fa for you quicker" I said in a playful tone, trying to raise the mood. It was working as I saw his dimpled smile grace his face again.
"Stop it!" He whined and I couldn't help but allow the smile on my face grow wider.
"Stop what?" I continued teasing.
"Stop making me smile when I'm upset" Harry moaned making me laugh loudly. He was adorable and all I wanted to do right now was kiss him.
"I can't help the way I make you feel" I said with a wink.
We continued conversing until my eyes felt heavy and it was time to get some sleep. Tomorrow was the last day of my internship and I couldn't help but feel as though something was going to go wrong. Now that everything's fallen in place, that little voice in the back of my mind kept telling me it may just be to good to be true..
