"BREATHE" (One Direction fanfic)

Chapter Four

“YUUKKAAA!!! YUKA! YUKA!!!” Someone screams as I rolled over in my bed and pull the covers over my head. It is TOO early for this right now. “YUKA, WAKE UP RIIIGGGHHHTT NOW!!!!”

            “Whhhhat..?” I moan in a zombie-like fashion before sitting up and rubbing my eyes. “What do you want?”

            “YOU’RE IN THE MAGAZINE!!!!” Marie screams as she shoves the paper in my face. I sigh and smooth out the wrinkly paper.

ONE DIRECTION’S HARRY STYLES SEEN WITH MYSTERY GIRL, IS SHE HIS GIRLFRIEND? 

            I blink at the headlines before closing my eyes and then opening them again to reread the headlines. Oh my god. On the front page were two pictures of us; one was of us tightly hugging while the other was of Harry kissing me on the cheek. I had to admit, we look cute…

            “How did they get this…?” I whisper as I flip through the magazine to read the article.

            “So, it’s true then?” Renae asks as she enters my room and sits on my bed. Her blue eyes were wide with curiosity. “You’re dating Harry Styles?”

            “God, Yuka, did you already forget the rules?” Audrey sighs as she peers over my shoulder to read the article. “But you two do look cute together…”

            Don’t we?

            “NO!” I instantly deny. “I’m NOT dating Harry!”

            “Then, why is there a picture of you guys together?” Renae asks, leaning closer to me to read the article, as if it would answer her questions.

            “Because we were together after you guys left.” I sighed and explained everything; from him questioning why I didn’t like him to the kiss on the cheek. “We’re just friends.”

            Marie took the magazine from me and stared at the pictures. “Damn, I wish Zayn was my friend and hugged me like that.”

            “Marie!” I said as she shrugged and smiled back at me. “Oh shit, Christine is going to KILL me!”

            Audrey drummed her fingers against her thigh and took the magazine from Marie.

            “I think Christine’s going to talk about this in the meeting today; I don’t think Christine really cares if you’re in a relationship with Harry—

            “Good, because I’m not.”

            “—the only problem is management on One Direction’s side.” Audrey finishes, ignoring my interruption. “We broke a rule and got caught. They might drop us as One Direction’s opening act…”

            She says the last part softly. She said ‘we’. We broke a rule…if anything it was my fault, but no one did anything wrong. It was all just a misunderstanding.

            “Maybe not” Marie says, trying to cheer me up as she noticed the disappointment on my face. “I mean, we won’t know yet.”

—————————————————————————-

            “Yuka, what were you THINKING?!” Christine questions sternly as she slaps the magazine on the glass coffee table. The meeting today was held in a private hotel room, accurately, Christine’s hotel room.

            “It’s not what it looks like.” I try explaining as I tuck a strand of hair behind my ears. “Harry and I had a misunderstanding, but we worked it out, and we hugged. AS FRIENDS.”
