Melody

If looks could kill, I'd be dead right away.

I never saw Harry looking at me in the most coldest stare ever, until now. My stomach continues to flip as my hands sweat, while I think of something to say.

My heart beats faster, and I crawl backwards, away from Harry. He sits up properly and keeps on gazing at me.

"Why did you lie to him?" Harry asks so quietly, that it scares me. I wish I can know what is he thinking right now.

I expectedly stutter, "Uh, I didn't lie—I mean, I just told him that be—"

"Truth, Melody!" I flinch at his tone, and gulp down.

I sigh mumbling, "I just didn't want him to follow me anywhere, that's it."

"That's not a damn excuse." Harry glares crossing his arms together.

"I promise!" I continue to lie, "You know how Zayn is. I didn't lie to him on purpose."

Harry still looks at me suspiciously, but he thankfully lets it go by getting off the bed and storming off to the bathroom.

My phone vibrates in my lap, and I unlock it quickly, hoping Zayn texted me.

My hopes go down in the drain, when I see Louis' name flash across the screen indicating a message.

Louis: If I could fly, I'd be coming right back to you ;) x

I roll my eyes, and I lock my phone again, ignoring his message.

"Harry, I'm so nervous." I hold into Harry's shirt as we walk through the hall of the building where the photoshoot is happening. Liam and Niall are leading us to the room I'm assigned in.

Harry had been giving me his "cold shoulder" for an hour already. Which was driving me crazy, I apologized over and over again but he just ignored me. I mean, I can't tell him the real reason behind my lies to Zayn. He cannot know. If he ever knew, then we'd be heading back to LA definitely. And of course, I don't want that.

I hear Harry sighing and he finally begins to talk to me normally, "It's going to be alright. You just have to wear some fancy clothes, and pose for a couple of pictures. It's not hard, really."

I nod along to him, relieved that he started talking to me again. Liam and Niall stop at a door that is wide open, and I catch a glimpse of people moving around. At the sight, my hands begin to shake and my heart beats rapidly.

"Melody, you will first have your makeup done then you're gonna wear your outfit, obviously, and after that the photoshoot will begin. Is that clear?" Liam says, before going inside of the room with Niall. I nod my head then Harry and I trail behind them, and I immediately look around me.

In the front there's a white looking sheet hanging from the ceiling and draped to the end over the floor, almost like a rug. On the set, a lot of different lighting and studio equipment design half of the large room. People keep moving around, which makes me more anxious than I already am. I nervously try not to make eye contact with anyone, as I hear Niall dragging me out of my thoughts.
