Unknown

Chapter 6

Eleanor

July : The middle of Winter

I stood shivering my butt off waiting for the director of Unknown's new music video Midnight to give some type of order for us girls to run down an empty street in the darkness guided by Unknown's music.
It was nine o'clock at night and a arctic blast was blowing, I glanced over at Luke who looked and smirked at me. I sent him a smile knowing that he had seen Aiden's latest Snapchat where he had zoomed in on me shivering and I had flipped him off and he had muttered "Its freakin cold" to the camera.

"Okay can I have everyone's attention? Ladies and Gentlemen we want to make this take a quick one cause I can see everyone is five minutes away from being turned into a ice cube." The director shouted at the top of his lungs foggy breathing moved in the air as he spoke.

5 Hours Later

I ran towards Luke grateful of the fact that he, bless him was holding my coat; I shrugged it on shivering covering my black ripped jeans and Nirvana tank top. Luke grabbed my hand in his. "Your freezing" He muttered and pulled me to him wrapping my arms around his torso, he wrapped his denim jacket with wool inside around the both of us.
I felt butterflies in my stomach and stared up at Luke, has he always been this gorgeous? Geez Eleanor a few hours in the cold weather and you're wondering if you best mate is gorgeous! I smiled at Luke and moved out of our cuddle.

"Hey Eleanor" I heard the familiar voice of Harrison Kelly, Unknown's lead guitarist. "Thanks for stepping in as an extra in the video today, the nerdy version of you before was just a bit too cute" he laughed; I sent him a kind smile and heard Luke laughing.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing....sometimes you are just adorable" he stated and poked the dimple in my right cheek with his pinkie finger.

I rolled my eyes at him. Earlier in the day I and a few others played typical high school stereotypes. I had stepped out of the dressing room in a brown/red plaid skirt, a white blouse with an emblem saying Unknown Highschool, a blue cardigan and white knee high socks and loafers, my wavy hair had been pinned back in daisy clips and a pair of fake classes with tape on the nose adorned my face.
Aiden, Colin, Braden, Luke and Unknown had immediately made their way over to me to take photos for Unknown's Instagram, and the behind the scenes page.

My minor part in the music video was to be tripped over by Harrison, in nearly every outtake Harrison had rushed over to me afterwards I was sprawled on the ground and asked if I was okay.
The next phase of the video was when the 'outcast' characters had, had enough of the 'popular' characters and had sent flyers out of a party at Midnight. This led to my transformation from nerd to edgy rock chic.

"Whatever Harris" I sassed back at Luke, he raised an eyebrow at me and shot me a cheeky grin, his blue eyes bright.

...

I woke up the next morning, my muscles aching, and throat sore, it was hot too hot. I thought and pushed the blankets off of me, I layed staring at the ceiling. Oh No! I was sick!
Unknown needed to speak with me about new print ideas for the possible new album I couldn't be sick, I just couldn't. I stood up feeling weary and walked to the bathroom attempting not to cough too loudly. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my skin held an oily shine, my cheeks were pink and my eyelids looked heavy, I hoped in the shower knowing the shower was hot but the water temp felt cold on my skin. I hated being sick, it meant people fussed over you and cared about you! My skin crawled with anxiety if Aiden, Colin, Braden or Luke discovers I'm ill I will have zero chance of getting to the music studio with them to talk to Unknown. They would make me stay at the flat and recover, which was the smart thing but not the most practical when working for one of the top bands in the country.
I hoped out of the shower, wrapping my towel around me and high tailed it to my room to get dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and a cardigan. I let out another cough attempting to muffle it with my sleeve and heard the guys chatting in the lounge room. Taking a deep breath which was hard through a stuffy nose, I walked down the hallway seeing Braden, Colin and Luke leaning up against the breakfast bar tiredly and Aiden slumped on the lounge watching telly.
"Morning gorgeous" Aiden muttered and frowned at me "You okay El?"
