30 Days of Us

Day 22-24:

Day 22-24:

"I'm really sorry babe."

I sigh, burying my head in the sheets. "It's okay," I sigh (again), hugging him gently. He was just told that he has to fly to Paris for three days for some promo. I can't go along, since I have 2 more exams. Man, if I could go, I could pretend to be Emma. She could do the interviews and I could do the photoshoots. LIVIN' THE CELEBRITY LIFE.

Haish.

"So what time's your flight?" I murmur.

"In 4 hours."

"Well, you should finish your last minute packing. I'll send you there." I slide off his lap and head to the toilet to take a shower.

How has he become so vital in my life?

Why do I feel like I can't even just... complete my exams without him? I've been doing exams for years and I've only had him for... like... 3 weeks? A bit more?

I shake my head, shampooing my hair.

Man, and I thought I wasn't the sappy type.

I mean, I just see my brother, and his girlfriend, and all the other guys...

They're so sappy.

God, but isn't that the beauty of romance?

Next thing I know, I'm singing in the shower.

"I'm outta touch, I'm outta love, I'll pick you up when you're getting down. And after all these things I've done, I think I love you better now.

I will love you better now."

I hop out, grabbing my underwear.

"That was some amazing singing right there. You sure you don't want to be a recording artist?"

"Can you ensure I will be as successful as my brother? Matched to The Beatles? Or Taylor Swift? Matched to Michael Jackson? Ariana Grande? Matched to Mariah Carey? Nope!" I state, grabbing the brush to come through my mane.

"Well... no. They are REALLY successful."

"Exactly. Or for that matter, like you? You're very successful. I watched my brother have everything he ever wanted in a year, tops. You're asking me to settle for halfway? No. Never. Not The Wanted, not Neon Jungle, not Vanessa Hudgens. I can't settle for that." I quickly bring my hair up in a ponytail. "I knew if never settle for just okay, that's why I chose to keep on studying. When it comes to the industry, I'm a very all or nothing person. Yes, Liam will always be the one bringing in the money, but he'll also have to suffer with the media. I don't."

"Sorry hun, but I think that ended when you decided to let me date you." Dani raises an eyebrow.

"Well," I turn. "I can handle, knowing that my boyfriend starred as the main cast in only one of the most successful series ever."

"Ahh. Yes. Absolute success." I smile and nod. "That's greedy of you."

"Yes, I'm greedy. But how can I watch my brother, you, the boys, shoot to stardom and fame time and time again without? But that's why I won't go into the industry."

"Pity."

"Don't really give a damn. Shall we go?"

---------

Basically, the paps found out.

Basically, they thought I was Emma.

"Hey Emma, I thought you were in London?"

"Emma!"

"Emma!"

"God," I mutter, "I'm not Emma, you weirdos."

"SHE'S NOT EMMA!" A pap shouts.

"Oh who is it?"

"Is this your girlfriend, Daniel?"

"DANIELLLLL!!" No wait those are the fans. He barely gets in 3 autographs before we leg it into the airport.

"The hell?" I whine, fixing my clothes.

"Well then, the interviewers are gonna go nuts for this. Living the celeb life." He looks at me pointedly.

"Like I said, I can handle."

"Well c'mon then. I'm not letting you go till I get in the plane."

"DANIEL RADCLIFFE OH MY GOD!!!"

Oh no.

-----------

The next day, I take my exams. Suddenly, everything is just whiter than it should. Seeing as I can't concentrate, I sleep through most of the day.

To: Dani (the guy one😘)

What time you coming back tomorrow? I'll pick you up.

From:

4:30pm

To:

Cool. See ya then then (haha then then)

From:

Haha see ya. Whatcha up to?

To:

Absolutely nothing.

From:

Aww man that's so unlike you. Gtg bb!!

To:

Bb

I sigh. 16 more hours.

-----------

Amidst the squealing and screaming, I gently push through the crowd while getting vulgarities thrown at me. Well then. When I get to the entrance, I know I'm screwed.

"Passport?"

"Passport?? I'm just picking up Daniel. You DO know who I am, right."

"Oh! Emma Watson! Of course, of course." I quickly step in, and see Dani and Emma walking out. Oh boy.

"HEY!" I yell, waving. They spot me and I dash into Dani's arms.

"Missed you," he mutters, connecting our lips. I giggle and pull away.

"I may or may not have pretended to be Emma Watson to get in." They both laugh.

"You didn't have to. Dani already admitted that you're his girlfriend. They even brought in Liam to grill him. On national television."

"ARE YOU KIDDING?? DO YOU HAVE A RECORDING!" I squeal, jumping up and down.

"YES! I'll show it to ya later on." Dani wraps his arms around me.

"It was so scary. Didn't wanna disappoint you. Or him."

"Aww," I coo, kissing him on the cheek "I'm sure you did amazing baby." He grins happily and leads me out of the airport, Emma trailing behind.

"Oh wait," the security looks at me again "you're Nicole Payne. Darn I mixed the two of you up. Should have noticed with the hair..." he mutters, embarrassed.

"DANIEL!!"

"EMMA!!"

"NICOLE!!"

I guess I can live with this.
