Chapter 6- In Other News

Ali

Two days after Lib and Niall got back from their trip, we were walking around the grocery store, Elizabeth and I. We were standing in the checkout line, and I was rambling on about the overpriced pita chips that Lib had thrown into the cart. 

Then, Elizabeth interrupted me. "Hey, what the hell is this?" She caught my attention as she picked up a magazine and stared at it. "Shit, Ali, what--" I snatched it out of her hands. I stared in complete shock at the magazine pages.

One side had pictures of me and Harry. I saw the two of us in his car, and walking down the street. I knew there had been photographers where we were, because they were smashed against the car, but it was still odd to see my face and name splashed across a magazine. 

The other side had pictures of Lib and Niall. On their vacation. A close up of them jumping off a cliff, and then swimming in the blue oceans of the Italian coast. They had shots of them walking around Italy. I suddenly got a realization how terrible this must be for Elizabeth. She was on vacation, a private vacation, and she thought no one could see her. Harry and I had put ourselves out in public, but Niall and Lib thought they were on their own. I looked at the accompanying article:

Harry and Niall have girlfriends, ladies!

Harry has been dating Alison Evans for approximately four weeks. "They're really happy," says a source. "They both love to have fun, and she leans on him when she needs times to be serious. They're perfect for each other."

What about Niall? Niall is supposedly dating Alison's friend, Elizabeth O'Neill. Elizabeth recently broke up with boyfriend, Mason Crowl, a student. "They've been great friends since the summer started, and we all knew it would come to this." Our source said.

Both Elizabeth and Alison, both 18 years of age, recently graduated high school in Cleveland, Ohio and both have summer dancing employments here in London, and they will be spending the semester in London. 

They have been spending a lot of time here in London with One Direction. attending their charity concert festival. It is rumoured Elizabeth is helping to plan Eleanor and Louis' wedding, and they have become close with the other girlfriends, including Perrie and Megan.

They both have gotten themselves in deep with the boys, but what will come of it?

They were calling us goldiggers. Elizabeth's eyes glazed over. I quickly checked out with the food and we raced to the apartment. Lib ran in before me and I walked in behind her.

"Lib! It's just some stupid rumours! They don't know anything about me or you or the boys! Don't think a thing about it!"

"Alison. My private vacation is splashed all over THE FUCKING LONDON MIRROR. MY PRIVATE VACATION!" She screamed.

"Hey! What's going on?!" Harry said. He and Niall walked into the apartment. I had left the door open. Lib huffed and ran off to her room. I turned to the boys, handing them the magazine.

"Shit, Ali, I'm sorry." Harry looked upset.

"Harry, I'm fine. I knew we'd be in the magazines anyday, we've been being followed the last few days. I had prepared myself for it. Lib, on the other hand, she was photographed on your vacation, Niall. It hit her when she least expected it."

"I'll go talk to her." Niall said walking to her room. 

Elizabeth

I kicked off my converse. My grey sweater was warm, and my skinny jeans fit perfectly. I could not believe the paps had followed us as far as the vacation. I was pissed beyond belief. I paced back and forth across the floor, contemplating what I should do next, when a knock came at the door.Niall peaked in.
