I'm not a morning person at all and I'm glad that's another thing I have in common with the Little Mix girls. Stella wakes us all up at 7:00 am and none of us are very happy about it, all grumbling and pulling the covers over our heads like children. She's stubborn and won't have any of it so she rips the blankets off and threatens to pour cold water on us if we don't get up. We've finally made it to Edinburgh and I have to not only get myself ready but as their stylist I have to help pick outfits for the girls too. After about an hour of frantic hair, makeup and clothes we're all done and ready to go to the girls' radio interview.
I sit in the corner of the studio with Erica and Caleb as the girls do their radio interview, all being asked questions about their music, the tour and their personal lives. They play a game with the radio DJ and pretty soon we're all done and leaving the studio. There are a lot of fans and paparazzi waiting outside so I try to go behind the girls and away from the crowd as they sign autographs and take pictures.
"Is that Marielle?! Hi Marielle!" one of the girls behind the gate calls out to me. She looks about 16 years old and is wearing a Little Mix t-shirt. I normally don't talk to the fans (especially after the little incident outside of Mode Belle) but I don't want to be rude so I wave at them and smile.
They beckon me to come closer to them so I nervously inch closer as if they're going to attack me. You never know with fangirls; one minute they can be sweet and lovely and the next they could be figuratively biting your head off. One of the girls has her iPhone out, and I'm anxious to the fact that she's either taking pictures or capturing a video so I try to not look at it.
"How are you today? I didn't know you worked with Little Mix!" the girl gushes as a bunch of girls around her begin watching out conversation.
"I'm fine thank you! Yeah I'm their stylist." I confess with a nervous smile. It's going to get out to everyone eventually so I might as well be the one to confirm it.
"Wow that's amazing! Oh, how are you and Liam doing?" Of course, the inevitable question one of these fans are bound to ask me. I'm obviously not going to say we broke up, that would cause a whole lot of drama that I don't need right now. I bite my lip nervously as I hastily try to formulate a professional response.
"You know...I'm not really one to talk about my personal life..." I say casually before being interrupted by Erica calling my name. "Oh, got to run! It was lovely talking to you girls, bye!" I quickly say as I wave and speed walk away. The group of girls wave goodbye and I mentally take a sigh of relief as I walk over to Erica and Caleb. "I seriously owe you guys big time!" I whisper to her as we walk towards the buses.
"What, a question about Liam?" she laughs. I nod my head and she and Caleb put an arm over each of my shoulder as we pick up the pace to meet with the others.
Liam's POV
It's another day at the studio and we're all taking a much needed break. I'm on my laptop casually looking through Twitter at Mari's mentions. I know that it sounds kind of stalkerish but I only do it to keep up with what she's doing and making sure people aren't saying bad things about her. Whether she's with me or not, I'm still very protective over her. There's one tweet with a video that has both Mari and I tagged in it so it instantly perks my attention. I plug in my headphones and watch what looked like a fan recorded video. Oh my God, there's Mari. She looks so beautiful and happy talking to that fan, her long dark hair swept away by the cold breeze. She doesn't look the slightest bit upset...she must be getting on better without me.
"Oh, how are you and Liam doing?" the girl asks her. She looks nervous, I can tell by the way she bites her lip. Ugh, she looks so sexy when she does that! Dammit Liam, snap out of it!
"You know...I'm not really one to talk about my personal life..." she manages to say. Wow, I'm kind of surprised she didn't say we broke up. I know the reason I haven't said it is because I'm still holding out on the idea that we'll get back together, maybe she is too. Plus I don't want her to get hate from fans when I'm the one everyone should be hating, I'm the one who fucked up. I wonder what her reason is? She doesn't complete her answer as her attention turns to people behind her; she excuses herself and waves goodbye to the girls filming the video and begins walking away to some other girl and...guy? Why is she with a guy? The video quality is shit so I can barely see his face but I already know that I don't like him.
"Hey buddy!" Niall scares me out of my thoughts as he takes the seat right in front of me, his head peeking out from behind my laptop. I take my headphones off and close the laptop to look at him.
"Hi." I respond quietly.
"So did Mari get the flowers you sent her?" he asks casually.
"Yeah...she even tweeted a picture of them." I smile slightly, knowing that her doing that still gives me a glimmer of hope.
"Alright man! So does that mean you guys are okay?"
"I don't think its that easy, mate. I wish it was though, I want her back more than anything." I look down to my pair of custom black trainers, Mari bought them for me a few months ago. She always did have the best sense of style.
"Aw, don't give up. She'll come around. Just keep on showing her how much you love her and she'll realize that it's not over between you guys!" Niall beams, leaning over to pat my shoulder. I let out a sigh and shrug my shoulders, not really believing his words. As much as I want Mari to forgive me and take me back I know that she probably wont. Getting her to trust me wasn't easy for he and I really hurt her, which has probably made her trust issues even worse.Plus she thinks she did something wrong in our relationship but she didn't, it was all my fault.
I'm always thinking about New Years and that kiss that we shared. It was simple yet passionate and it made me even more confused on how she feels about me. Now with her tweeting that picture I honestly don't know what's going through her mind and I doubt she knows either.
