Don't Judge A Person By Their Cover (One Direction FanFiction)

7- Almost Found Out

Ri (Gabriella) POV

We moved to London today. In my bag, I had secretly shoved in all my savings and everything.

My mum was happy that I was trying to get on my own two feet. I almost leaked parts of my rebellion to Louis, luckily I covered up everything swiftly so he thought I wasn't lying.

Now I lay in my new, all to plain room.

Louis came in with three buckets of paint. Black, orange, or pink.

I chuckled.

"Well, definitely not pink. I'm trying to grow up more."

"So orange?"

"Hell no! Black." He smiled and handed it to me.

"I kinda wanna spray paint my name on the wall."

Translation: I want to graffiti my walls and say I have natural talent.

Yep.

He nodded.

"That's why I have these."

He pulled out neon colors of spray paint. I smiled and told him to get the fuck out. Well I told him to get out.

The boys seemed to get closer to me when I got remodeled.

Liam even seems to like me more than a friend. Same Liam, same.

I started to do what I do to alleyways and trains on my wall. I didn't even notice Niall and Louis were watching. And Liam.

I wrote: Ri Was Here

Spread Your Wings And Fly

*A Mocking Jay From Hunger Games*

Let the rebellion happen

They can't hold us back

See the world as it is.

All that stuff whilst the boys watched.

Didn't even notice I wrote all this stuff until I looked around.

The boys gaped.

I looked at my door.

Oops. I forgot to do that. Oh and those damn boys were watching.

"Hm. I guess I just have natural talent."

"No- this has got to have been practiced! Zayns not even this good!"

"Hey!" I heard Zayn as he walked up and gaped around my room.

"Never have I ever held a spray can before this."

They nodded and walked away, but Liam walked in.

He shut the door carefully behind him.

"Gabriella..." He whispered, pressing me against the dry wall. "I think I'm falling for you... Hard. The fact you were able to keep your childhood so long, and decide to give it all up, is so brave."

He kissed my forehead.

"I like you too Liam."

If they ever find out, Liam is going to fall out of love with me... Technically he's not even in love with me.

He just thinks he is. And that's hard. Hard that somebody loves you, but the you that is 100% fake. The part that holds all your secrets.

"Me and Niall had the conversation with a girl outside his window sometimes at night. She was a rebel, she robbed that jewelry store, and was a really good person. Sounded like we would've been friends if we hadn't left."
