Fresh Off the Runway

Chapter 1. blank space

Song for this chapter: Blank Space - Taylor Swift (don't hate its my jam)

“Get your lazy ass out of bed, your not ruining this day for me!!” I hear my best friends voice call from outside my bedroom. The only response I could muster up was an incoherent, ungodly groan as I rolled out of bed and checked the time 12am, did I really go back to bed after my run? As much as I love Eleanor, I would do anything to brick her right now.

“Adriana!!" She calls again. 

"I think im coming down with a cold, not sure if I can make it!" I yell back and fake cough to back up my story. The bathroom cabinets from across the halI open and close, the sounds of Eleanor frantically preparing for the 2014 ARIA's she has been talking about for weeks. I lay on the floor not bothering to move, this is meant to be my week off, at home, relaxing. As my breathing starts to steady an angry looking Eleanor storms through my door, "You will get up, you will shower, I will meet my boys and you will be there" before I could respond she turned on the ball of her foot and screamed "Be ready in 10 and I will buy you an iced mocha". That caught my attention, I can't say she doesnt know me well.

I walk into the bathroom ready to do my makeup and hair when I notice my appearance, I need a shower if paps are going to be there tonight. The warm  water cascades down my body and I allow enough time to let it soothe my tense muscles from my work out yesterday, but not enough time to dwell and be alone with my thoughts. I hastily shave away the small amount stubble my legs have gathered over my break away from work and wash my hazelnut hair. As I dry off my body and begin to do my makeup, Eleanor walks in holding up an outfit similar to what Rihanna wore at the 2012 Fashion show, a white crop bandeau, bike shorts, a coral pink sheer lace dress to go over it and a white jumper to tie around my waist, I must admit this outfit will show of my body incredibly. "This is to get us noticed", I rolled my eyes at Eleanor's statement. She wore a white bandage dress which dropped between the valley of her cleavage and hugged her curves perfectly whilst complementing her tan. I tried to contain my jealousy, she looked flawless so I smiled walked downstairs to grab the green smoothie I made earlier that morning but never had, Elle entered shortly after. "Dank, that's not food, how about I cook you up some eggs you need energy", my heart started to race as I tried to think of some sort of an excuse. "ahhh... nah I'm saving my appetite for the food tonight" I awkwardly smiled she gave me this 'I know what your doing' look and I diverted my gaze. We stood awkwardly in the living room until Elle's phone buzzed, "The cars here" I nodded in response and strutted out in the most clumsy way a model could, damn you Cristian Louboutin.

As our car pulled up outside the star casino my nerves were already getting the better of me I didn't even notice my door had been opened and hundred of paps were taking photos and a chorus of girls screaming had begun. Thank the lord for Eleanor's confidence right now, unlike me she was born for this  attention and fame, she noticed my state of shock and grabbed my hand to pull me out of my trans. I plastered on my photo ready and oh so fake signature smile and strutted down the carpet making sure to stop and take photos with fans. Another car pulled out and finally most of the attention was diverted away  from us and from the sounds of Elle's squeals it was the famous One Direction boys. I couldn't pay much attention to the boys though, I was being bombarded with questions from the media. "Adriana, is it true you hate fame?" "Is it true you that you have an eating disorder" "Why don't you eat?" "Who are you wearing tonight" "What do you think of one direction? who is your favourite". I saw Elle in the corner of my eye encouraging me too answer one of the questions, "I think the boys are incredibly talented and I'm truly amazed at how far they have come. I hate to pick favourites they are all so... sexy" I awkwardly stated  and decided I should go inside I hated this kind of thing. 

My nerves were starting to get to me and I immediately regretted not having more to eat this morning as I felt my knees buckle, luckily I stumbled on someone and they grabbed me before I was completely humiliated. After slowly trying to regain my composition I looked up and was met by two emerald green eyes drowing in the curves of my body followed by a smirk. "Nice too meet you Adriana Carter, I'm Harry Styles and might I say you look incredibly f*ck-able in this outfit" he whispered to me, his lips barely touching the shell of my ear which sent a chill up my spine."I hope you come to the insiders party after this i'd love to continue our little conversation" and with that he turned on his heel and walked in the direction of his other band members. "Nice too meet you to Harry"
