Novalee Mays

I can't believe how amazing this day has been. I've had the most fun I've had in a while, and I was with my bestest friend too! We arrive at the flat, and I toss my shopping bags to the end of the stairs.

"Hey did you know that girl Liam was with last night?" Niall questions.

"Yeah! He met her at the club that first night! She seems cool, we'll all have to hang out more." I state, jogging upstairs.

I hear Niall shuffle around, and I change into a tank and sweats. Going downstairs I find Niall; he's chilling on the couch, flipping through channels. I sit next to him on the couch, and as I'm about to speak my phone begins ringing.

"Hey honey." I greet to Harry.

"What the hell is going on?" He sneers.

"Babe, what are you talking about?" I question.

"It's all over the fucking news Novalee!" I snatch the remote from Niall and quickly change the channel to E!News.

"So is this Niall's new girlfriend? We haven't seen her before. She's gorgeous! Niall is one lucky guy!" Julianne smiles as pictures of Niall and I today play like a slideshow in the background.

"Oh no." Niall mumbles.

"This is my favorite!" Julianne points to a photo of Niall and I leaving the Bridal Shop.

"Is that a wedding dress store?" Ryan asks Julianne.

"Aww young marriage! How cute! We have to get these two on the show!" Julianne squeals.

I realize Harry is still on the phone, "Harry none of it is true. I swear, Niall and I are just friends!" I explain.

"I want to believe it Novalee. But how can I know? I gotta go." Then the line goes dead before I can even protest.

"Novalee I'm so sorry!" Niall says, guilt in his eyes. Tears are flooding down my cheeks.

"I-It's f-fine" I mutter. He wraps his arms around me and holds tight.

"It will be all okay, alright Novalee? You'll make up with Harry and then we'll do an interview to let the world know who's dating who." He whispers in my ear. I nod, my throat too clogged to even speak.

I wake up groggily the next morning; immeidetly I'm in the shower. When I get downstairs I find Niall, eating something in the kitchen.

"Morning." I smile slightly.

"Did you sleep okay..?" He asks, setting down his bowl.

"Eh.. I guess." I shrug and pull the carton of orange juice out of the fridge.

"I talked to the guys, we've set up an interview for today." He states. I nod.

"C'mon love, let's go meet the guys for breakfast!" Niall says, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. "Okay... Didn't you just eat?" I chuckle.

"Ahh I could eat again." He smiles, making me laugh.

I sit in between Niall and Liam; Harry across from me. He doesn't look me in the eye, forming tears in my own.

Niall catches this and whispers, "You want to leave?" But I shake my head no and hide my face behind the menu.

Our food is ordered and were all just talking. Liam brought along Dyll so I decide to get to know the new girl. "So Dyll, where you from?" I ask, fake smiling.

"Iowa." She replies.

"Wow, what brings you to LA?" I ask.

"I wanted to explore the world outside of the farm. And I knew One Direction lived here." She blushes, and Liam reaches across the table to hold her hand. Her cheeks go completely red. We all laugh at the two.
