AN: Hello my little penguins! Okay, did I really just type that? Yes, I did. Why? I'm not really sure. Maybe I'm thinking about Niall a little too much and how he's as cute as a baby penguin! Haha! Anyway, I'm here with another update! Yay! I've thought a lot about this chapter. I mean, I want this book to have drama, but I don't it to be cheesy or have too much. But I think it's a good amount in this chapter. So, yeah! I hope you like chapter 13! <3
Harry’s POV
I couldn’t think straight since Britt came. When I opened the door she literally threw herself at me and kissed me. Despite my objection she had managed to pull my shirt off too. I finally pushed her away and that’s when the fighting began. I thought I heard a knock on the door, but I ignored it. I had to tell Britt this wasn’t going to work. She said we were meant to be and tried to kiss me again. I should have never led her on. I was an idiot. I could have sworn I heard Kari and Claire talking outside my door, but it stopped quickly. Then Britt dropped a bomb. She knew she shouldn’t. She wouldn’t. She couldn’t. It would destroy everything. I heard a knock on the door. I looked at my watch and saw it was 3:30. That must be Kari. I slowly shuffled myself off my bed and to the door. I opened it and saw Kari. She looked a little nervous.
“Hey Kari!” I said trying to sound happy.
“Hey.” She replied. I let her in and we sat down on my bed facing each other. I could already tell this was not going to turn out well.
“I need to tell you something.” I finally said breaking a short silence.
“I know what you’re going to say. You’re sorry you overslept and didn’t come to the studio.” Kari whispered. It looked like it almost pained her to say that. She must know I lied to her.
“No I was going to say I lied to you Kari. I didn’t over sleep. I had a visitor.” I whispered the last part.
“You mean Britt.” She said coldly. I nodded.
“Why did you lie to me Harry? I thought you wanted me to trust you and this isn’t really helping.”
“I, I don’t know why I lied to you. I know I shouldn’t have.”
“Yes, you shouldn’t have. We’re friends. Friends can tell each other anything.”
“I know. I just didn’t want to stress you out anymore. Zayn said you had a bad morning.” I said.
“I wasn’t that stressed out. You still could have told me.”
“I know Kari. I know.” I whispered.
“What did she want?”
“She kinda threw herself at me and then we got on an argument. She said all this crap about how we were meant to be together.” I said honestly.
“That’s it?”
“Um, when I say threw herself at me I mean she kissed me twice and ripped my shirt off.” I said trying to avoid the sticky situation.
“Okay, but what about when she said…” She trailed off.
“Was little Kari eavesdropping?” I asked laughing.
“Um, yes.” She said weakly.
“Well, I could be mad, but since I eavesdropped on you, we’re even.” I said brushing it off.
“Really?”
“Yeah. So, how much of the conversation did you hear exactly?”
“Up until Britt was going to say something. She was like, “But Harry, I’m..” She trailed off again.
“Oh, um, yeah about that.” I rubbed the back of my neck and ran a hand through my curls.
“Harry.” She urged.
“Um, she threatened to tell the press that we’re dating and that she’s..” I couldn’t say the last part.
“Tell the press that we’re dating or you and Britt are dating?” She asked.
“Me and Britt.”
“Oh.”
“There’s more.” I said. I had to tell even though I didn’t want to.
“What’s that?” She asked. She was playing with her fingers. Which I found extremely cute, by the way.
“She said she would tell the press that she’s um, kinda, you know, have a baby.” I stutter out.
“What?” Kari exclaimed. I didn’t say anything. I couldn’t even look at her.
“She’s not actually going to have one?” Kari asked.
“No, no.” I assured her.
“Did you two, you know?” She asked.
“Um, yes.” I whispered. She was silent for a minute. I watched her face for a reaction. Soon she started to speak.
“I don’t know what to say other that, you’re fucking idiot Harry Styles!” She yelled and ran to the door. I tried to stop her, but she was too fast. She was right. I was a fucking idiot.
Kari’s POV
I felt the tears coming on strong as I ran out of Harry’s room. What had he been thinking? He had sex with that, that bitch. I thought back to the restaurant. That must have been what Zayn and Harry were acting weird about. Zayn had known and he didn’t tell me. I ran right past my room to Claire’s. I knocked on Claire’s door and waited for someone to answer. No one did. Just great. I didn’t have much choice. I went over to Liam and Louis’s door and knocked furiously. Louis opened the door.
“Hey Kari!” He said, but trailed off.
“Harry is a fucking idiot.” I stated and pushed past him.
“What are you talking about?” Louis asked, confused.
“Louis, who are you,” Liam started to ask and then saw me. He pulled me into a hug and I cried into his chest.
“What’s wrong love?” He asked.
“Harry.” Is all I could say. He looked at Louis and he shrugged.
“We’re confused.” Liam stated.
“Harry is a fucking idiot. That girl he was with, Britt, is freaking crazy and believes that her and Harry are meant to be together!” I explained.
“I’m guessing there’s more.” Louis said. I nodded.
“Well, Harry got a little carried away even though he was just using Britt.” I said.
“You mean, he actually..” Louis trailed off.
“Yep. And now this girl has a false impression. She came and gave Harry a visit today and they ended up fighting. She threatened to tell the press they were dating and she was, um..” I trailed off.
“She was what?” Louis asked.
“I think you know what.” I snapped at him. He still looked confused.
“For god sake’s Lou! She threatened to say she was going to have a baby!” Liam exclaimed.
“Oh.” Louis whispered.
“And Zayn knew that Harry did it and he didn’t even tell me! I thought we were friends!” I added.
“Kari, I know you’re mad, I am too, and I assume Louis is, but we all have to calm down.” Liam reasoned.
“Yes dad.” I joked. I found amazing how I could actually joke around in this situation. He chuckled too. Louis took my hand and Liam’s and we all sat down on one of the bed’s. I was guessing it was Liam’s since it was clean and made up compared to the other one that looked like a total mess.
“This is bad.” Louis stated.
“No, duh.” I said.
“Hey, we have to start somewhere.” He retorted.
“Stop bickering you two. It’s obviously bad. But we can’t just sit around and talk about how bad it is or how stupid Harry is. We have to fix it.” Liam stated. I nodded.
“How are we going to fix this?” I asked.
“Well, let’s start by telling the others. I know you probably don’t want to, but the more people, the better plan we can probably think of.” Liam suggested.
“Even Zayn?” I asked.
“I think you need to talk to Zayn first.” Louis suggested and ushered me out of the room. I huffed and walked into our room. How was this going to work? He didn’t even know I was mad at him. I walked in and Zayn looked up from his phone.
“Hey Zayn.”
“Hey Kari. Vas happenin’?” He asked.
“Oh, not much. I was just wondering if you ever had any intention of telling me about Harry and Britt getting a little carried away.” I asked. He immediately turned nervous.
“Kari, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I know I probably should have, but I thought it was best if Harry told when he was ready.” Zayn explained.
“Yes, you should have, but I guess I can’t be that mad at you. You were only trying to do what you thought was best.” I admitted.
“I am sorry Kari. We’re friends and friends should tell each other these things.”
“It’s okay Zayn. And now, if you would mind getting off that phone, I, or Liam, Louis, and I need your help.”
“Anything for you babe.” He said, getting up off the bed and engulfing me in a hug.
“Thanks Zayn. You’re a great friend.” I said and led him to Niall and Claire’s room. I knocked and Claire answered almost immediately. Huh, funny how someone answered this time. I could ask, but it’s not a really good time. I just shrugged it off.
“Hey guys! What’s up?” Claire asked happily.
“Um, we kinda need to have a meeting. Now.” I said seriously.
“Uh, okay.” She said and called Niall to come with us. We all went back to Liam and Louis’s room to talk about this, uh, situation. When everyone was comfortable and ready I started talking.
“Okay, I’m going to be completely honest here and it’s kind of a long story so just keep your comments to yourself until I’m done.” Everyone nodded. I took a deep breath and began.
“As all of you now there’s been some, drama, uh, between Harry and me lately. And I admit it. I like Harry. Well I really liked him until today. And what happened today, you might ask. Today was the return of the dreaded bitch Britt. Harry was only using Britt to make me jealous. I attempted to do the same thing with Zayn, but I couldn’t.” I paused and looked at Zayn. He blushed a little bit. I continued.
“Britt came to talk to Harry today while Claire, Niall, and I were leaving for the studio. Harry was supposed to come with so I went to see if he was ready. I knocked on his door and he didn’t answer. I heard yelling so I eavesdropped even though I’ve been the one to say you shouldn’t. He and Britt were fighting. She kept saying that they were meant to be together and Harry was trying to tell her that he didn’t like her. That’s all I heard so I decided to confront Harry when we got back. I did and he said that Britt had threatened to tell the press that they were dating and she was going to have a baby. That folks, is our biggest problem. We can’t have some bitch give you bad press or ruin your careers at worst. Also, I may have got a little nosy and asked Harry if they, you know, and he said yes, which is why I’ve called him a fucking idiot about four times today. And also Zayn knew about it and he didn’t tell me so I was mad at him, but we talked and it’s all good now. Now that we all know the truth now we desperately need to work this out because I have an even worse side.” I finished. Everyone stared at me for a minute. I swear if it was possible for jaws to hit the floor there would be five right now.
“Oh,” Claire said.
“My,” Niall continued.
“God,” Louis finished.
“Kari, I’m so sorry! If I hadn’t tried to set you up with Harry none of this would have happened!” Claire exclaimed, hugging me.
“Claire! Don’t overact! Even if you didn’t set us up this could have happened! It’s not your fault!” I told her.
“So, what are we going to do about this whole thing?” Zayn asked.
“Um, I don’t know.” I answered. This whole situation was so complicated I couldn’t wrap my head around it very well.
“Well, there’s always the option of going out and getting drunk tonight and worrying about this later.” Louis said. I couldn’t help but laugh.
“We are not going to get drunk Louis!” I exclaimed.
“Fine! I was just trying to help.” He said.
“We know Louis. I think that the best way to start is to talk to Harry. He’s the only one who can reason with Britt.” Liam suggested.
“I agree, but who’s going to talk to him?” I asked. Everybody shifted their eyes to me.
“No! Not me! I’m still really pissed at Harry!” I exclaimed.
“Please Kari!” Niall pleaded. He gave me his signature look. He knew I couldn’t say no to that look. Damn you Niall.
“Fine! But don’t expect me to make any progress.” I said turning and walking out the door towards Harry’s room. I knocked and he answered quickly. His eyes were red and puffy. He had definitely been crying.
“Kari.” He said, brightening up a bit.
“Look Harry, I’m still extremely mad at you, but you have to stop moping around and talk to Britt. You’re the only one who can stop her from telling her lies to the press. And maybe when that is all taken care of I’ll considering talking to you again. But right now you are dead to me.” I said and walked away. I couldn’t help but think I was being too harsh. Harry was most definitely not dead to me. Even after this I still think I liked him a lot. I think about him. I still get butterflies. But, come on, I thought Harry liked me. I thought he wanted to gain my trust. Not so much anymore.
