Beaten and Bullied (Harry Styles fanfic) RESTORED!

Chapter 14

Chapter 14-

I froze. Susie had never cancelled on me. She always said I was one her best models. She wouldn't do this to me, it had to be some joke. "What do you mean?" I ask.

"Cheri..." she sighs, "We can't have models with cuts and bruises on them, the video has to look perfect!" says Susie frustrated

"But..." I can't think what to say.

"I've got a long waiting list of models who would be easily prepared to take your place," says Susie looking exasperated.

"What if we want Cheri to model for the video?" buts in Harry. I look at him surprised that he's actually sticking up for me. Wouldn't it be easier if I were cut out the video? He wouldn't have to deal with me anymore then.

Susie raises her eyebrows "This isn't just your decision, the rest of your band have a say as well".

Harry turns to look at the rest of the boys. "We'd rather have Cheri in the video then a replacement" says Louis, the other boys nod in agreement.

Susie looks surprised "Well... I suppose it will be less complicated if we keep Cheri on instead of trying to find another model".

"I can't believe you're still letting her be in the video," says Ashley raising her plucked eyebrow. What is her problem?

"It's non of your business, is it?" I snap.

"Right, stop it" glares Susie "Cheri, I need you to go over to the make-up studio to get that covered up," she said pointing at the cut on my neck. I nodded but surprised everyone by quickly pulling Harry into a hug. I can feel Ashley glaring at me. "Thank you" I whisper into his ear and pulled away before he could reply. I walk out the door and make my way along the hall to the make-up studio.

Camouflage cream was applied to my neck that helps to cover up scars and cuts. It stings a bit but I'm impressed when I'm turned round to face the mirror. You can hardly see the cut, just vaguely the outline but that wouldn't show up on camera. I head back and Susie ushers me along with Zoë and Ashley to go get changed into our outfits for the music video. As we walk to the studio changing rooms Ashley nudges me.

"What?" I snap. Can't she just leave me alone?

"I see you've got your eye on Harry" she says smirking.

I roll my eyes "Don't be ridiculous".

"He would never like you back anyway".

I shove past her, trying to ignore her words.

We walk into the changing rooms and I slip on the short lace red dress. The bottom half flared out and hugged me perfectly. I smiled in the mirror then went to see what the others were wearing. Zoë wore a navy dress with a collar and thin brow belt.

"You look perfect Zoë!" I say a smile breaking out onto my face.

"You look gorgeous as well" squealed Zoë.

Ashley marched out wearing a purple dress with a tight neckline.

She looked us up and down and then smirked.

"What is your problem?" asked Zoë raising her eyebrows. Ashley didn't bother to reply since Susie was calling us to come out.

Susie inspected us "Perfect, now we need to go along to studio 7" she muttered.

The studio had been set up to look like a fifties diner. I thought I'd been in all the studios but this one must be new since I'd never been in here before. The boys stood by the side of the set. Their hair had been styled, Harry's curls were looser and hair sprayed into place.
