Chapter 7 // This Blonde Isn't Dumb

Maybe if I cared enough to dye my hair
Then you'd take me serious
Maybe I could try to change up their minds
So they take me serious
So they know
Everybody knows that I'm not dumb

Chapter 7 // This Blonde Isn't Dumb

Niall's POV

"It's been less than 24 hours since I last saw you and you've already gone and made a name for yourself!" Regina yells throwing the magazine into Harry's lap.

He sighs lifting it up to see the front cover.

Mystery Girl Takes A Swing at Harry Styles!

Harry rubs at his jaw subconsciously smearing the foundation covering his massive bruise across his cheek.

Now a bit of purple and green are visible just beside his chin.

Amaris really did get him good.

Regina grabs another magazine from her desk and again throws it at Harry but before he can catch it. It's smacks him right in the face.

Covering Up The Truth? More Larry Evidence?

"They're saying this stunt is another cover up for the Larry accusations. So congratulations you are apparently even more gay then you were yesterday." she says sarcastically.

It's obvious she's beyond pissed but we can't exactly control what the media says about us. If we could our lives would be so much easier.

"Don't talk to him like that," Zayn spits with a look of disgust written across his face.

She scoffs "Oh I wouldn't be so defensive Malik. You haven't been so good either, have you?"

Zayn frowns watching her cautiously.

Again she retrieves another magazine from the many on her desk and holds it out to Zayn who hesitantly takes it from her.

I don't think anyone could have prepared him for what was on the cover.

One Direction Cheating Scandal.

Perrie Edwards Devastated.

Right smack on the cover of People Magazine is Zayn with his arm around Nova Easton, not that the magazines know that's her name, and his expression visibly drains.

"You don't realize all the hell you boys have just conjured up for yourselves."

Zayn gulps shakily dropping the magazine onto the counter. He looks as though he might puke all over his brand new shoes and I scoot away a little.

Regina rolls her eyes "Don't worry Zayn, not yet anyways. I've contacted Perrie's personal manager and they're trying to withhold your little escapade from her as long as they can. I'd start counting my prayers if I were you."

I pat his back "You did nothing wrong, she'll understand. C'mon it's Perrie we're talking about here."

He sighs "I hope you're right."

"What do we do?" Liam asks suddenly.

This is the first time we are actually going to her for help... let's just blame it on the fact we've buried ourselves in life-destroying publicity.

"Way ahead of you," She responds snidely. With a snap of her fingers we can hear multiple footsteps outside the door followed by muffled yells.

It isn't until they are right outside that we can hear clearly.
