Imagine Me Without You (Sequel to ATF, One Direction Fan Fic)(Completed)

Chapter Fourteen - No Papperazzi Please

Louis' POV

Harry went out to pick up something for diner. Kind of bored I turned on the TV. I flipped through the channels for a while then I got distracted by a picture Shayla and I that fell over on the counter. I picked it up from the floor and that's when I heard the TV say, "Next on Starz is Shayla Benna, star of You Be Me and I'll Be You." I grabbed the remote in my other hand and turned up the volume. "Shayla has been caught cheating on her fabulous BF with her co-star Matt Perry and this mystery man. It showed a picture of her about to kiss Matt Perry then changed to a picture of her sitting in a café with some random guy. I couldn't believe it. I threw the picture across the room it hit the wall and the glass frame shattered into a million pieces. I was beside myself.

Shayla's POV

I walked up the stair to the fourth floor my wrist, wrapped in a bandage, was still hurting from my attept to McGuiver my henna tattoo off. I took the key from my purse and unlocked the door. Louis was leaning against the couch, he almost looked angry.

"Hi." I said with a slight smile.

"Hi." He responded with a stern tone.

"You look unhappy." I said concerned.

He said nothing but pointed to the TV. I looked over to see I picture of me about to kiss Matt. (It was from the scene we were shooting today.) Above it was a headline which read: "Shayla A Cheater?!"

"Oh my god. Lou this is not what they made it look like." I said scared.

"They don't have to make it look like anything Shayla! I can see what is going on!"

"No! You don't understand! Thats one of the scenes and I almost got fired today because I kept messing it up!" I could feel a tear streaming down my face.

"Well let's say I believe your piece of crap story." He said getting even angrier.

"It's true!"

"What about this!"

"That's Brian my makeup artist he's gay! We were just grabbing a coffee after work!" I said crying harder.

He pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "Get out. I can't even deal with you right now."

"No, no, no. Lou you can't believe this!" I cried putting a hand on his arm.

"Get out now!" I could see the anger in his eyes.

I grabbed my purse and headed for the door. I turned to him before I closed the door. "It's not true, I love you."

He closed the door.

Louis' POV

Maybe she is telling the truth. Wait, who am I kidding, she's an actress that whole thing was a charade.

Shayla's POV

I walked to Niall's apartment and knocked on the door. I few moments later he answered the door. "Shayla." His smile quickly turned into a look a concern when he looked at my face. "What's wrong?"

"Do take in strays?" I said forcing a small smile.

He gave a small smile, nodded, and lead me in. "So do you wanna tell me whats going on?"

"Oh Niall." I burst out crying again and hugged him tightly.

He rubbed my back soothingly and said: "Do you want to tell me what happened?"

I took a seat in his couch and he brought me over some tea.

"Louis thinks I cheated on him." I said sniffling.

"Wha-Why?" Niall asked confused.

"There was a thing in the media about me cheating on Louis. One of the pictures was of me about to kiss Matt. But it was a scene from the movie." Niall put a comforting hand on my arm. "And another was me and my gay friend having coffee."

"Oh, Shayla." He said with great sympathy.

"Look at my wrist." I held out my arm. "I got a henna tattoo of Louis' name because I couldn't ever do the kiss scenes. But I almost lost my job so I got it removed. I thought they could cover it or something. I just needed to know it was there."

He ran his fingers over the barely readable letters. "I believe you." He wrapped me in warm hug. "Stay here as long as you need to."

"Thank you." I said with a sniffle.

"Now let's see if I have some sweats or something you can borrow."

I smiled as he helped me off the couch.
