The Mutual opposition

Snow in New York City and a damn wreath

Luna's POV

I never wanted anything to do with the One Direction fandom. It's absolutely insane. They have practically billions of fans. How?
There has to be some dark magic behind it.
But when my phone goes off every microsecond along with Roxanne's and Lily's, I know something's up.
Our fans are constantly nagging us. Wanting to know why we're not with those dumb Brits anymore.
"Who wants to take care of it?" I ask.
"You can" Roxanne decides.
Lily sighs.
"I will."
She gets out her laptop and opens her twitter which is absolutely packed with messages.
I walk into the other room to make lunch. Roxanne follows me.
The four of them are already waiting for us on the couch.
"You have an interview today?" Calum asks.
"Yeah. So?" I ask, grabbing the cornflakes off the counter.
They all exchange glances.
"What?!" Roxanne demands.
"Looks like we're going to find out about these boys after all" Ashton mumbles.
"Your still hung up on that? Why are you so obsessed with them?" I inquire.
"I don't think you understand. We're looking out for you and your safety" Luke says stately.
"Yeah. Like we can't take care of ourselves?"
"Roxanne, before you left for that tour none of us said anything. We kept our mouths shut. It would be dangerous to expose their secret. We did it for you too. Because we knew you never had anything like that. But we also knew if we couldn't trust them than neither should you."
"But people change!" Roxanne insists.
"Right. But their character always stays with them" Michael states like he's some genius.
"Your wasting my damn time" Roxanne curses, "I have an interview to get ready for."
"Good. Because we're coming with you" Luke declares.
"You can't do that!" I object.
"Don't worry. We made sure everything was okay of course" Ashton points out.
I frown.
"Unbelievable" Roxanne murmurs under her breath.
"Are we on Oprah?" Calum asks.
"No bitchacho, Ellen. Oprahs too good for you." comes the saucy retort.

I pull my hair into milkmaid braids and let two loose strands hang at the sides to frame my face.
Decent is good enough while imperfection is most beautiful.
I'm nervous for this interview. I know that Ellen, being Ellen is going to pull up some pictures and Luke is going to be shocked, Calum will have a fit with Roxanne, and Ashton and Michael will get on my case.
I sigh and button my shirt. It's white with black polka dots. And excessively British with the Peter Pan collar.
"Alright Lil, Lu, we've gotta do our best to lie our way out of everything, alright?"
"But I'm not good at it" I confess.
"Neither am I" Lily agrees.
She sighs, and presses her cherry lips together tightly.
"Fine. Then you'd better keep your mouths shout."

Lily's POV

"It's great to have you all! Wow, how many?..seven?! 5sos and LBD, yes. How are you all?"
"Very good thank you" Ashton chooses to acknowledges her.
"That's great. Well let's get started because we have a lot to cover" she states, grinning widely. Oh joy.
"So Little Black Dress, I recognize your friends from the tour that took
place a few years ago between One Direction and 5sos. Is that right?" She asks.
"Correct. We've toured with them before" Luke answers, lip piercing between his thumb and forefinger.
"Have you? And so does any jealousy ever go on between the two groups now that One Direction has chosen the three girls to tour with them? I mean, they're gorgeous. And there are nine boys altogether."
She states, joking lightly of course but damn is she pushing it.
"No" Calum denies, "We're very happy for them."
"Mhm" I hear Roxanne hum her disbelief.
"Well I wish you luck with your music boys. But it looks like it's the girl's time to shine for now."
I can feel Luke tense next to me.
I let out a sigh under my breath.
"Now Little Black Dress, your fans are just dying to know, are you sure there isn't a little rivalry going on between the boys?"
"I wouldn't think so" Roxanne fibs, "Other than fighting over us obviously."
The audience laughs at her pompousness. Oh if only they had to live with her.
"Now out of all seriousness, who would you say you find yourself closer to?" Ellen inquires casually.
"Well 5sos obviously" Luna answers, "We've known them longer."
Ellen chuckles and a smirk develops on her lips.
"Oh Miss Jones, I'm not talking friendship-wise."
The audience goes insane.
Luna sends her a feverish smile.
Roxanne grunts.
"I expected this."
"Would you like to elaborate or should the projection screen do the talking?" Ellen taunts.
Shit. She has pictures.
Roxanne narrows her eyes.
"You wouldn't"
"Oh but I would Miss Rodriguez"
"Yeah lets see those pictures" Ashton eggs her on.
Ellen turns to her audience.
It's not a surprise when she's on her laptop a second later to pull up the images.
"To save time, I'm only going to show you what I thought to be most interesting" Ellen snickers.
"My life is over!" Luna cries.
"Oh quit being a baby!" Roxanne hisses under her breath so Calum doesn't hear, "You think you have it bad?!"
She's right. If there's anything Ellen does best it's finding the most demeaning and shocking pictures of our everyday lives and sharing them with all of mankind.
Yeah. It's pretty great.
But it can't be that bad can it? But when I think of it, I realize I'd been outside with Harry a lot.
The beach, mini-golfing, window shopping. And sure, the paps got a shitload of pictures. I'm positive Luke and the boys had already seen them. He's probably been waiting for something like this to come up. So I could witness his reaction and he could express how pissed he was at me. But I can't be sure. Luke has always been sweet and gentle. But he seems different now. It's like he doesn't trust me anymore. Although it's really Roxanne who needs to be watched.
But Luna and I can control ourselves. I know that I'd never give away something like my virginity to someone until I knew I was committed to them. And they felt the same about me. But I don't commit myself to anyone at the time being.
Luna on the other hand doesn't need to be restrained when it comes to that stuff. She won't even laugh at crude sexual jokes.
Unfortunately, that's Roxanne all the way.
