The Shadow (Chapter 5)

A/N Dedicated to my lovely friend Irina. Enjoy dear xx

Carina's POV

"Rise and shine !" I heard Liam shouting

Ugh, I hate mornings. I really really like to sleep. And I really really hate to wake up. Well, of course Louis didn't give a fuck about me when he entered the room and throw himself on the bed.

"C'mon lovebirds. We are going to be late and Paul will get angry. So wake up wake up wake up !! he screamed the last part making Harry groan.

"For the god's sake Lou, leave or I am going to beat the shit out of you. And I am not kidding."

"Stop being so crancky. Both of you ! And I will not leave this room until you are both out of bed !"

"Okay, okay. God dammit, you can't sleep in this house." he mumbled "Oh shit ! Carina wake up.Oh man, we are so screwed. "

"Carina, it's half past 12. We are supposed to be there in 15 minutes."

"Oh, nonono !" I got out of bed throwing Harry's T-shirt away. "Louis close your eyes." I nearly screamed when I was him standing in the middle of the room with a smug look on his face.

"Geez woman, stay calm. I have a girlfriend. I don't want to see you naked. I see her enough."

"Oh God Louis, you perv ! Get out ! GET OUT !" I screamed when I saw he wasn't budging.

Once I was in the shower I washed myself quickly and then got dressed.

"I am ready." I told them once I was out of the bedroom. Harry was there, in a deep conversation with Niall about food. Well, it was Niall after all.

"Okey guys, let's go. Hurry up !" Liam snapped when he saw that Louis wanted to start speaking.

The ride in the car was as loud as ever. But I put my headphones on, feeling the need to just think. I can just hope that some day I will be strong enough to loose my grip without thinking about the consequences. I can just hope that someday I will not care about how I look, or about how I talk. I will be just me. Because in the end, does it even really matter ? Life is an uphill battle anyway. You do not know what's coming next.

We are all in the same old boat, with the same old paddle.

But why are we so shallow ? This pattern will eventually change everyone. It will get them all crazy. And there is no turning back then.

Must of us aren't Hollywood actors, but we still try to pretend that we are fine when we are obviously not. But if it's all for one, and one for all, then maybe one day we can all ball this boring life and live for real. Lose our heads in the spur of the moment, listen to our hearts for real.

Because I feel your pain. Yes, you and you and whoever reads this. I can feel your struggle l, I can feel that you just want to live.  You feel like you could drown in a puddle. So that's why I will fight for you.

For all the times no one spoke for you, for every single time you felt alone, when the sea underneath you got so deep but you still had to jump. For all those times you felt like you were another person, getting lost in the crowd. I will stand tall for both of us because  even though we are always against the odds we still win. This time it won't be any difference.

But if we still  loose, if life hadn't actually choosen us, then it will still be okay, because I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us. Trust me. When you'll cry I will wipe away all of your tears, when you'll scream I will fight away all of your fears. I promise I will held your hand through the years, no matter what happens. You will always have me.

By the time I stopped thinking we were already there. I got out of the car and enter the building. Oh well, I should have waited for the boys, I have no idea where I'm going. Soon enough I heard them talking.

"Carina, you comin' ?"

"Yeah, sure. By the way, am I coming with you, guys ? Or do I stay backstage ?"

"Well you can, if you want to. I heard this will be an interesting interview. Basically, we are not  going to be interviwed, we are just going to talk with two girls."

"Well, then of course I am coming." I laughed but stoped when I saw an employee coming towards us.

"Guys, I am Abigail. So, basically you are going to enter that room and wait for the girls. They are a bit late. You are just going to talk but they refused to  accept avoiding topics. I just hope it won't be awkward. Good luck."  And then she was gone.

"Well, let's do this." said Harry entering the room with us following us. A few moments later I heard voices and then I saw them.

Man, they were fit. The first one had  long curly hair and green eyes. She was dressed simple but effective with a pair of jeans and a red shirt. There was no skin showing but I could see her curves perfectly.

Man, I am so jealous. The other one was dressed completely in black and believe me when I say, that she had a body to die for. She was wearing a pair of tight black jeans with a black shirt. If the first one had long hair, she was wearing her hair really really short, but it was looking great on her. They had this bad ass look together.

"I am Sonia. But you can call me The God's gift." she introduced herself laughing.

"Just ignore her. I am Irina. And yes, I am better looking than her, it that's what you were thinking about."

"You're not."

"I am !"

"No, you're not."

"You kno-"

She was interupted by Liam's cough.

"Oh sorry, guys. I forgot we were here. So, let's start yeah ?" Irina said

"First, I really want to know something."

"Sure !" Niall answered quickly. I guess they were really excited. Well, I can't blame them.

"Why don't you stand up for yourself ? I mean, I am not a fan, and I still heard about Larry Stylinson. Really, what the fuck ? You have such a beautiful girlfriend, Louis. She is, well after Taylor Swift and Emma Watson, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen and she seems like a really nice person. So, how can you be gay ?" she turned to look at Harry speaking with him now.

"And you ? You have dated so many ladies. Well, not all of them were ladies, but still. And you dated Taylor. How can someone say that it was a publicity stunt ? I don't really know  you, but I am sure she wouldn't do something like that. Plus, it's not like you needed it. RED broke records in its first week, and I am sure yours was good too. So, why don't you speak up ? Why do you put up with this shit knowing it's hurting your girls. I don't want to be noisy, but isn't that the reason why you broke up with Tay ?"

She seemed genuinly confused and I was really surprised. I was expecting some easy, boring questions, maybe something embarrasing. But I never expected this.

"Well, to before answering your question, I really want to know something too. Are you two fans ?" Zayn asked. This time, Irina answered.

"Smart move. But no, not really. I mean, you have some nice songs, but  you sing, no offense, cheap pop. And the worst part, is that you are not writing your own lyrics. But you are still nice boys, so yeah.. I'm sorry if I upsset you in any way"

"No you're not." laughed Sonia.

"Well.." Harry started

I was really looking forward to his answer.  I am no witch , but I can feel that this is going to be interesting.

A/N Hullo. Credits to B.o.B and Taylor Swift for Both of Us. Great song. Hope you liked it !
