LEAH’S POV

“WAKE UP!” Louis’ shrieked at me from down stairs. I ignored his screaming and rolled over, getting comfortable in my warm bed.  I shut my eyes, hoping to fall asleep again.

I heard the door open, then loud footsteps. I ignored them again, hoping they would leave me alone after they realised I was asleep.

CLANG CLANG CLANG. Great.

I opened my eyes to see Louis holding a saucepan and a large metal spoon.

“I told you to get up! We have an interview to go to!”

“uggh, Lou! Why do I have to go?! I never go!” I complained in the most annoying voice I could pull off while being half asleep.

“Well seeming the interview is because of you, I think it’s only fair you come...GET UP AND DRESSED!”

And with that he was gone.

HARRY’S POV

I watched as Louis walked down the stairs with a triumphant look on his face.

“Lou...You know you could’ve just told her to get up nicely...”

“Where’s the fun in that!?” Typical Lou.

“She’s going to get all grumpy now” I chucked and Louis replied with a wide grin.

“This is going to be an interesting interview then...” Lou chuckled

Suddenly a wave of nerves hit me. This wasn’t just going to be any interview. This was going to be the interview that I announced my ‘love’ for Leah. Both of our lives were about to change...again.

One of the main reasons I wanted to clear up the rumours was because of Leah, not because I didn’t want to date, well fake date her, but because I didn’t want her to have to deal with all the hate!

LEAH’S POV

After another five minutes of lying in my warm bed I decided it would be a good idea to start getting ready.

Louis’ words echoed in my head... ‘Seeming the interview is about you’.

Realisation hit me then, I didn’t think Harry would announce our ‘relationship’ so soon! Suddenly I felt a whole lot more nervous. My worries from the past few days were about to become reality very shortly.

I went to my wardrobe to pick out some clothes, which Anne had been nice enough to unpack for me. I gazed at the coats and wintery clothing, longing for the Australian weather which I now realised, I had taken for granted. I decided on a baggy singlet top, a denim jacket, black leggings and some lace up boots. I carried my clothes into the bathroom, placed them on the counter and took my pyjamas off, throwing them into the hamper, then stepped into the shower.

I let the hot water run over my body, relaxing my muscles, and for just a minute it felt as if it was washing my nerves and worries away with it.

I picked up my raspberry shampoo and squeezed some out onto my hand, and began massaging it into my hair, letting the familiar smell fill my senses. I washed it all out then reached for my conditioner.

Once I was done I turned off the water and stepped into the cold air, wrapping a towel myself and began drying.

I put on my outfit and started on my hair. I picked up the hair dryer and plugged it in, beginning to dry my long, brown hair.

HARRY’S POV

“So boys, I know you probably get asked this question in every interview but, who’s single in the band?”

This was the moment that we were waiting for, the moment I have been dreading for days.

LEAH’S POV

I nervously watched from the crowd as the boys were asked the one question we were waiting for.

Harry hesitated and searched the crowd, stopping when he got to me; he just stared into my eyes for what felt like forever, and then gave me a subtle nod.

The bleach blonde, underdressed interviewer’s face became impatient as she waited for the boys’ answers.

“I have a girlfriend” Liam started

“Me too” Louis added

“So the rest of you are single then?”

I watched as they all hesitated, knowing what was coming.

“Well Harry, the other day I came across some photos on the internet” The interviewer started.

Oh god, here it goes.  I took a deep breath.

“Yes.” Harry replied

“Do you think you could clear this up for us? I’m sure all the fans have been wondering for days”

HARRY’S POV

My eyes locked with Leah’s once more, and then I returned my gaze to the interviewer, whose name I had already forgotten.

“Um...I have a girlfriend...” I shut my eyes for a few seconds then returned my gaze to the lads and the interviewer.

“Wow! So who is this special lady, Harry!? I’m dying to know! As I’m sure all the fans are aswell! Is she here?”

I hesitated, Louis noticed this then turned to face the crowd.

“Leah, why don’t you come up” Louis said, I shot him a thankful look.

LEAH’S POV

My heart was racing. They never told me I would have to get up. I weaved my way out of the crowd, receiving death stare after death stare from the fans. Some were even...crying?

I finally reached the front where the boys were sat on a couch with the interviewer.

“Leah is it?” She beamed across at me.  “Take a seat”.

*************************************************

“I personally think that went pretty damn well” Louis said on the drive back.

Harry smiled across at me, “I didn’t think we would get away with it that easily”

“You guys didn’t tell me I would have to get up in front of everyone!” I said, with what I thought was an annoyed look on my face.

“Stop complaining Leah” Louis said sticking his tongue out at me.

“I think this deserves a celebration. I KNOW, I KNOW! LETS GO TO NANDOS!” Niall screamed from the back seat.

When is that boy not hungry?!
