I Cannot Hide This Even Though I Try ~ A COMPLETED One Direction Fanfic

3 - Relationship Status

Hello my loverlies! I'm updating today because I'm moving out tomorrow and won't have time later. I had someone *cough* comment on the fact that this story is more Larry than Niam at the moment, so I would just like to remind everyone that I never claimed this to be focusing on one or the other. I do promise that there will be more Niam, but it's important for the relationship to be established now with Lou and Haz. Got it? Alright!

Anywho, vote/comment/fan/whatever to let me know what you think. It's not that hard!

Also, to anyone reading from phone/iDevice, I've found that it doesn't show bold so you won't be able to see the difference between the regular thoughts and the little voice that speaks to the characters in their heads for now. I'm trying to figure out a more conventional way to show it so that you can see it no matter how you're reading the story.

Enjoy!

P.S. Dedicated to @morannlou because she's one of my best friends offline and because she was the first person to actually know the title to the story.

*Louis' POV*

It's been a few days filled with interviews and photo shoots since the meeting with management. It's been kind of nice being so busy to keep my mind off of all the things that happened that night.

You know you enjoyed snogging with Harry, the voice in my head tells me. I shake my head at the thoughts trying to overwhelm my mind, sneaking a glance at the curly-haired boy in question.

"So," a voice begins, drawing my attention back to the matter at hand. "As always, it's time to answer that question that everyone is asking: what are your relationship statuses, lads?"

I groan inside, hating having to answer this question so often. It's not like I've gotten into a relationship since last week. That's just because you're a coward. Even if I had, I couldn't say anything about it without getting hell from management.   "Niall, Louis and I are all still single," Harry replies, the first to answer the interviewer's question. The majority of the live audience (filled mostly with teenage girls) start screaming in excitement, so we have to wait before anyone else can answer.

After the crowd calms down and the screaming subsides, Zayn pipes up saying, "I'm actually dating a lovely young lady."

"And who, might I ask, is the lucky girl?" the interviewer (I really should have paid more attention when she was saying her name) asks next.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not compromising her privacy," he responds, earning a chorus of 'boo' along with a few people muttering a quiet 'aww'.

"In that case, we're just waiting for Liam's answer to our previous question."   I watch as Liam quickly looks at Niall beside him before turning back to the interviewer with shining eyes. "I'm happily taken," he tells her honestly. I see his smile falter slightly before adding, "By the lovely Danielle."

"That is just adorable," the interviewer comments, having totally missed the infinitesimal change in Liam's expression when he lied for the millionth time about his relationship with Danielle.

I turn my gaze upon the audience, looking out at the people who are cheering for the 'happy couple' and the ones hating on the Danielle. When will they catch on that they don't stand a chance with Liam by trying to drive Danielle away from him?

"Well, folks, it seems it's time for commercials. After the break we'll be asking the One Direction boys about their upcoming album," the interviewer states to the camera before the 'LIVE' sign turns off. This is going to be a long day...
