Chapter 10

ROSALIE'S P.O.V:
I immediately panicked. I really hope George didn't get the wrong impression. Me and Harry were just friends, I don't see him as anything more. I grabbed my phone and hesitated for a moment before I started dialling his number. Don't pick up, don't pick up, don't pick up, voice mail please.

"Uh...Hello?" Dammit. George picked up whilst I heard slight shuffling in his bed.
"George?" I asked.
"Rosalie? It's 3am here if you didn't know" he moaned, clearly not in a good mood. Crap.
"You needed to talk" I said.
"Yeah, but could you do it when I'm not serious.. fuck"
"What's up with you?!" I shouted.
"You want to know? Do you know how I feel when my friends are shoving down photos and articles about you and some guy named Harry? You spend so much time with him. It's like you're cheating on me" George shouted back. That last line just did it.

"You think it's easy? Our time zones are completely different that I can't even keep up with it. I have a billion assignments to do, and it's not as though I hang out with him 24/7. He's just a friend, do you see me screaming at you whenever you're with a girl. No! You're my boyfriend, and our relationship is based on trust and the fact you don't believe me when I saw that we're just friend really offends me. I'm tired, I'm moody and you're not helping if you telling me how you feel.. when you should know how I feel. It's hard enough juggling two lives in one and you don't understand how much I miss you and my friends and family. It's fucking hard so don't go say it's hard for you because you don't understand how much sacrifice I had to do to actually be given this opportunity."

I stopped for a breath when I realised how I overreacted. I'm never like this, tears started stinging in my eyes because I knew at one point our relationship was going to break.. but never like this. Everything was so easy before, no complications. I never thought growing up would be this hard.

"Rosalie... I don't know what to say" George whispered, his voice slightly breaking.
"I'm sorry, that wasn't meant to come out" I said.
"It's good you did, I understand. I'm so sorry, I should know how you feel first. Rose, I'm so sorry"
"George, George, it's ok. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lash out"
"It's my fault entirely, I'm just jealous.. and I'm so scared to lose you"
"Trust me, you won't. We'll stay strong"
"Promise?"
"Promise"
"I love you Rose"
"I love you too George, I think I should let you go to sleep. Night"
"Night beautiful"

And it was like that. It was like nothing ended. It was quite strange because part of me hoped that somehow we would have a break because it would be so much easier for us and would let us live our own lives. But I know this may sound selfish but I can never see myself without him. I knew from then on, I needed to go home. Just for a break, just for a while. I needed to see my friends and my family. I needed this opportunity to start fresh and be able to kill this home sickness.

1 Week Later

I've been in a ridiculous good mood in the past couple of days because I planned with my parents to come back home for about 2 weeks just as my college breaks start. I haven't told George or Jess because I wanted to keep it a surprise. Cannot wait! I booked my flight, and be hopefully be jetting off back home in 1-2 months time. It seems like a stupid, long time but my excitement is getting the better of me.

Ring Ring Ring Ring.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Rose! It's Harry! So sorry I haven't been talking to you for a while, a lot of promotional work with the album and stuff"
"It's fine! How was it all?"
"Very good, though the interview people kept asking about you"
"Really? That's... um...what can I say? Flattering?"
"The fans really seem to like you! Anyway, just like to ask if you would come to dinner. We got reservations. You, me, the boys, Caroline, Eleanor and Danielle?"
"That's sound good! Amy's out tonight anyway, what time?"
"Approximately 7pm? Meet at mine"
"Sure, what's the dress code?"
"Semi-formal I guess"
"What's the occasion anyway, this is definitely a first"
"I just got some awesome news to say, and I want you to be there!"
"I'll be there silly, see you soon"
"Alright, bye Rose!"

There was approximately 4 more hours till 6pm and it takes me about 45 minutes to get ready. So what should I do in the next 4 hours? I remembered what Harry said about the interviewees so I decided to slightly stalk. I went on and analysed a new headline.

ONE DIRECTION HARRY STYLES, THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A LADIES MAN.
Cheeky 17 year old Harry Styles has been popular amongst the ladies as his relationship with Xtra Factor Presenter Caroline Flack who is 15 years his junior has received so many eye-catching headline this past month. The huge age gap couple seem to be going smoothly although the rest of the UK population is not keen with the whole relationship. Flack has received thousands of death threats from die-hard One Direction fans who claim she is just using him for the fame.

Not only does Styles have her in her life, his new lady friend Rosalie Vanetta has been a top headline in the Directioner's newspapers. Although Harry insists they are just friends, there are various rumours circulating that the pair see each other every day and Rosalie who is one year younger than Harry has been occasionally sleeping over. How do the fans feel about these rumours? We investigated various twitter mentions and some fans aren't reacting so positive about the whole new profound friendship between the two. A fan once tweeted: (What's the deal with Rosalie and Harry? It's fake, they're obviously cheating with each other.)

Another fan also mentioned: ( I don't like Rosalie. There's something about her. It's like I want to kill her)Ooooo, tension! Though Rosalie has not shown any messages about the threats on her twitter, we bet she is mostly going to react so well. Though this rumours are exploding like crazy, Real Radio host David Mitchell got the chance to talk with the boy's new album who is currently being sold out in the country. Mitchell even got the chance to make Harry spill the beans about his new lady friend.

Mitchell asked Harry, "What's with this new girl Harry? Rosalie, is it?" Harry opened his big cheeky grin and let out a sigh which indicated that he was slightly annoyed by the whole issue. "She's just a friend, and considered one of my best friends other than the boys. I don't get why two people of the opposite gender can't just be friends and not be so judged easily. I love her... in a non romantic way and all those rumours which I would like to personally clear up, are definitely not true" Oooo, Mr Harry Styles. Wise words to say. What do you think? Is he lying once again, or is his new found friendship is just like a Friends with Benefit kind of thing?

I scrolled down to the comment sections as well as I checked my twitter mentions to find horrible things said about me. Each word literally broke me down until I realised my thighs were filled with my tears.

I think the whole friendship is a fake. I actually hate her now.

MissBooBear
She's annoying. A bitch I'd say.

RachelT
 loverosalie, just to let you know. Us fans hate you! Stay back bitch.

MissStylesxx
Words cannot describe how much I hate loverosalie. I hope she dies.

I closed my laptop and ran into my bedroom. People hate me. They don't even know me. And they hate me. I sobbed in my pillow and pointed out everything I hated about myself. They were right, it did look as I came across as a homewrecker. My friendship with Harry was out of the blue, and I was actually hated on so much people wished upon my death. My thoughts drifted off into horrible scenarios as I softly shut my eye until I fell into a deep sleep.

HARRY'S P.O.V:
I stared at the time and realised it was around 7:05. The boys were waiting in the card but I was waiting in the lobby for Rosalie. Eleanor and Danielle were meeting us there as well as Caroline. Rosalie was never late, and always would come about 5 minutes earlier. Her phone wasn't answering and I felt really worried. I wanted Rosalie to be there, she's been so supportive of everything.

"Mate, have you tried calling her?" shouted Zayn as he came into the lobby.
"Yeah I have, about a million times. Is she picking up on your phone?" I said.
"Nut, nothing. Did you tell her to meet you there?" Zayn asked. I called Danielle and Eleanor and they were sitting in our reservation spot but say they didn't see Rosalie anywhere. I felt really worried, what if she got kidnapped on her way walking here? No it can't be.
"Want to check her apartment?" Zayn suggested.
"Yeah alright, tell the boys to meet us there though" I said. Zayn ran to car and told the rest to meet us there.
"Do you want me to come, I don't mind" said Louis, showing massive concern on his face.
"No no, Eleanor is waiting for you. We'll take care of it" I said. Me and Zayn started power walking yet trying not to look too alarmed incase someone saw us. I texted Caroline to let her know: Hey babe, went to check up on Rose. Be there soon xx.

We arrived at her Lobby and the person let us right up since they knew we were close with her. I ran into her apartment and all her lights weren't turned on.
"Fuck, I can't see in here" whispered Zayn.
I felt the wall and turned on the switch and the kitchen light went on. Zayn walked towards a laptop and noticed it was still open.
"Harry... you need to see this" he said.
I walked towards him and saw the various tabs open that displayed various hate messages directed at Rosalie. I closed all of them and muttered in utter disgust of what people said about her. Her desktop wallpaper came up, and it was a collage of all her favourite photos. In about some there were pictures of me and Rosalie. Most were goofy pictures, but I remember we took them with her iPhone and it showed how happy she was. In some, were even pictures with her and Zayn eating Nandos smiling that gorgeous smile of hers. I smiled and closed the laptop and ran upstairs to notice distance sobbing in the background.

"Rose?" whispered Zayn as he turned on the bedroom switch. There laid Rosalie in a tight ball position up the side of her bed. Her face was stuffed in a pillow with her hair wrapped around her face. Me and Zayn ran up to her side to realise she was crying, yet her pillow clearly showed stains of her tears. How long has she been here?

"Rose, hun, it's Harry, wake up" I whispered as I shook her gently. She opened her dark brown eyes only to show red marks after crying all afternoon.
"H...arry...Zaaa...y..n...they...haaattee...me" she whispered, her voice slightly breaking as it was taken back by her tears.
"Shhh Shhh, Rosalie we have you" I clutched Rosalie tight to my chest as her soft quivers were shaking on my chest. Zayn looked at her with massive concern and mouthed "Do you think she's ok?" I nodded and placed my head on her head. He rubbed her back and went to grab some tissues to wipe up her tears.

Seeing her like this broke my heart. She was my best friend, she was one of the few people who never judged me. What killed me is the reason she is crying is because of me...
