Mind Games

Chapter 5

When we get to the mall, it’s already packed with paparazzi. How do they always know where we’re going to be? 

“Maybe we should go separately ? Brooklyn and I first?” Perrie suggests from the back seat. 

“No, we should just all go in together, the door isn't that far. They can't bother us when we’re already inside.” Harry says with a straight face. Probably because I haven't spoken the whole way here. I’ll make it up to him once we’re inside.  

“Let’s go then! No time to waste, we got an early flight tomorrow!” I try to bring up the mood. 

Everyone looks at me with a funny look and burst out laughing. 

“What?” my cheeks flush. 

“Nothing, let’s get going.” Zayn smiles, getting out of the car to get the door for Perrie. 

Harry does the same, opening the door for me as well. 

“Did I mention how beautiful you look today and well everyday? I’m just going to keep reminding you.” He kisses my cheek as my face clearly gets red. 

Just as I’m about to open my mouth to speak, the flashes begin. The paparazzi begin to notice one by one who’s getting out of the car and run towards us in swarms. Thankfully there’s only about 6 of them but still the flashes leave me a bit lightheaded. 

“Can you move, please.” Harry directs to a man with sunglasses and a stained white t-shirt as he slips his hand onto my waste, pulling me towards him. I look behind my shoulder to meet eyes with Perrie and she’s clearly annoyed, this is the last time she’s going to see Zayn for a long time, I knew she was upset about the paps making a scene. 

“Hey Brooklyn, we hear you’ve been seeing that guy with the red hair. What does Harry think about his girl acting like a little slut? ” another man with greasy curly hair asks me in a disgusting tone. I felt Harry’s hand squeeze my hip and his eyes bloodshot from anger. I gave the man a deathly stare as I felt every hair on my body raise up and before I knew it I heard what seemed to be a shutting down beeping noise and all the paparazzi's camera’s shut off. Two of the cameras started smoking from the top and the men flung them to the ground. What the… did I...

As we walked into the doors of the mall all I could hear behind us was a bunch of men cursing with confusion. 

When I looked towards Harry, Zayn and Perrie all of their jaws are dropped. 

Perrie opens her mouth to speak but just as she is… “Zayn? Harry?!” 

Fuck. “Can we please get a picture?! Oh my god Brooklyn ! Perrie ! I can’t even right now.” The girl with tiny shorts and slick blonde hair says. “Can we get a picture with all of you ? Mom take the picture !” the taller girl with curly brown hair orders in a rather harsh tone. Before I can even protest both girls grab Perrie and I by the wrist and pull us towards Harry and Zayn, as the mother takes multiple obnoxious pictures with flash. 

“Thank you so much ! Can you guys follow us on twitter?” the blond holds out her phone towards Harry. 

“Yeah of course.” he smiles at them, being his charming self with the fans as usual. 

“Why don’t you girls meet us at All Saints?” Zayn directs towards us, kissing Perrie on the forehead and we agree. When I turn to say bye to Harry, a bunch of girls are running towards them both.

“I think they’re gonna be a while, wanna stop by urban outfitters first?” I suggest to Perrie.

“Yes good idea. And Brooklyn, we have to talk about what happened out there. Did yo…”
