*New Chapter YAY*
Chapter eight:
P. O. V. = Liam Payne
After our meeting I had confirmed that Maddie was indeed my girlfriend on twitter so that people knew it wasn’t some lie the press created since we’re One Direction. In about twelve minutes I had gotten tons of replies like, “Why Liam, you’re cheating on me!” and “I thought what we had was special!” I loved our fans. They’re so cute the way that they pretend to have relationships with us; we probably have one of the best fan bases in Pop history.
“Okay, Liam, why don’t you and Maddie walk around the town to show you’re a couple, I’ll leak it to the paparazzi so you’ll get some photos on Twitter and maybe in a few magazines.” Louis spoke actually sounding serious for once, I was kind of shocked. Although the luxury of Lou being mature for once was gone almost immediately given the fact he and Harry were trying to copy Niall and Maddie’s position. Harry and Maddie were both sprawled out sleeping on the bed whilst Niall and Louis braided there partner’s hair. Wow, we’ve got some Larry Stylinson action in here.
“Hey Lou, you might have some problems braiding spiral curls,” I stated as nonchalantly as possible whilst trying not to laugh, he was definitely struggling with this. Every time he would braid a little piece his face when light up with excitement and self-pleasure whilst every time it fell out he made a completely disgusted face, like something had died. I tried to muffle my laughter so I didn’t wake up Maddie or the fake sleeper, Harry, but I’m sure it came out more like a cat choking.
“Hey Li, are you alright?” Zayn asked cocking an eyebrow, skepticism clearly showing with his words. He was probably thinking I had lost my mind or something by the noises I was making. I nodded whilst turning the hotel room’s television on to Toy Story 3, one of my all-time favorite movies! I had made the boys watch it so many times we knew every word by heart. Quietly Zayn muttered Woody’s lines in unison with his character, either mocking my completely healthy obsession or I had finally convinced him that the movies are amazing enough to memorize.
“Okay Louis, maybe I should wake her up right now,” I yawned, stretching my arms until I heard a familiar pop, not even bothering to peal my eyes from the telly. Carefully I pluck a pillow from my bed and decided to create a pillow fight and repeatedly hit a groggy Maddie with it. Soon, Lou and Haz caught on and we were all in a full out fight except for Zayn who videotaped the whole thing. Maddie actually could hit those pillows pretty hard, for a girl.
“Oi!” Harry shouted as Maddie angrily shoved the pillow up his shirt, I guess she really wasn’t a morning person.
“Harry! What was that for? That is no way to wake up a girl! Hasn’t your mother taught you better?!”
Suddenly I felt terrible, she didn’t understand Harry wasn’t the one who had woken her up . . . it was me. Why must I feel so guilty all the time?
“Hey! I didn’t wake you up, it was Liam!” Harry sputtered in outrage that he was being blamed. Maddie quit glaring at Harry and shifted her gaze towards me, her hard gaze softening a bit although she quickly covered it up and blushed. Blushed? For me? Maybe I had imagined it . . . . Right?
“Well . . . um . . . yeah. Lou thinks we have to go shop around to look like a more realistic couple, he’s going to notify the paps so you’re going to need to act completely and utterly in love with me, they’re going to ask a lot of questions. Try not to answer any of them unless they involve our relationship, okay?” I stated slipping into a blazer by habit then taking it off realizing we were no longer in dreary, rainy London but in the hot summery temperature of Dallas, Texas. Maddie bobbed her head rubbing her eyes tiredly.
“I look terrible, let me go change into something more impressive.” Maddie said although she actually looked really nice and carefree. She probably lived her life by our song, What Makes You Beautiful and that isn’t necessarily a good thing. I mean it’s good to be modest but you have to at least have confidence in yourself.
“Maddie, you look wonderful! You don’t know you’re beautiful!” I sang pulling her out the door whilst getting several death glares from Harry and Niall, thankfully I had my wallet so I was able to take her out as well. I was ready to let her know I am a choice.

P. O. V. = Madison Newman
Liam has been acting very strange recently, as well as Harry. Harry looked like he had gone to Hell and back, his already pale skin was nearly transparent and you could tell it had something to do with me. His eyes were like bottomless pits and seemed hollow and dead and I couldn’t help but feel anything but guilt the whole time, had my kiss tortured him so bad?
While Harry’s change was more physical, Liam’s was definitely mentally. He seemed to be proving some sort of point no one else knew, even Niall agreed with me on this one. Ha had noticed the change in his mate’s behavior.
“So where’s the best shopping?” Liam asked hopping into my jeep, sticking his hands out for my keys so he could drive. I rolled my eyes and handed him my key-chain where my key was hooked.
“Um, anywhere really . . . if you want an ice cream date, Henry’s Homemade Ice Cream is amazing.” I answered instantly regretting I had forgotten to put some makeup or even lip-gloss on as I inspected my face in the rearview mirror.
“Okay, maybe you should drive given the fact I really don’t know my way around Dallas.” Liam said as if the thought just dawned on him, laughing I was thankful we were still in the parking lot so we weren’t lost in the middle of nowhere. Quickly we traded positions and I headed in the direction of the mall.
“Hey you know what? We could go to the mall and go ice-skating, how romantic is that?” I asked glancing in Liam’s Direction as I backed out of their hotel’s parking lot. He smiled at me giving me the satisfaction that I had a good idea, it would be the perfect place to get publicity since it was always so crowded. Quickly Li shot a text to Louis telling him where we were going and even uploaded it on Twitter, hmm . . . I haven’t been on Twitter for a while. Did the public know it was me yet or just that Liam had a new girlfriend?
“Does the world know it’s me?” I asked indicating the picture of me “cuddling” with him that had become so famous in the past day. Liam shook his head and we chatted the rest of the half-an-hour drive to the mall.
I was surprised to see all the people at the mall I mean I knew 1D was huge and all but wow! That was a lot of people and they were all taking pictures of me and Liam holding our hands or shooting questions at me asking if I was Li’s girlfriend. Well no duh, I just like holding hands and making kissy faces with people I don’t know, but of course I didn’t say anything like that but it was kind of annoying that they asked the most obvious questions.
As well walked in the mall swamped with bodyguards that all reminded me of Paul, I still couldn’t get the idea out of my head that people wanted MY picture for tabloid magazines!
“HOW LONG HAVE YOU TWO BEEN DATING LIAM?” One paparazzo asked shoving a microphone front of our faces.
“ARE YOU DATING LIAM PAYNE OF ONE DIRECTION?”
“CAN YOU GIVE US HINTS ON HOW TO GET WITH LIAM WHEN YOU TWO ARE OVER?” one obnoxious paparazzo asked and I tried my best to ignore them all, sadly it was so hard since they were so loud! Some of these questions were just plain mean and rude too and I could feel a few tears streaming down my eyes, this was just too hard.
“Maddie, are you alright?” Liam asked whispering in my ear in a way that made him look like he was kissing my head. Brushing away the waterworks I nodded and stepped into the mall ready to skate. Quickly I led Liam to the ice-skating rink that was located in the middle of the mall.
After passing boutique after boutique we had reached the ice-skating rink and Liam had ordered two skates from a shamelessly flirtatious senior who had refused to acknowledge my existence who worked at the ticket booth.
“Um . . . Maddie I didn’t ruin this for you but I can’t skate.” Liam stated like it was the most common of knowledge. I laughed as I took his hand and watched him blush like a schoolgirl as I led him across the rink as everyone shot pictures of us with their Androids and iPhones probably sharing them on Facebook and Twitter. Sweetly I pecked his cheek as I pulled him along so he could the feel of the skates.
“Just try to walk without lifting your feet,” I say demonstrating my teaching to a completely confused Liam who tried to do as I said but fell flat on his bottom.
“See I landed on my bum, I can’t skate.” He insisted as he failed miserably trying to get up. I rolled my eyes and laughed in a way I hoped looked adorable. Carefully he got up in a way that made him look like he was squatting in reverse, like instead of squatting down he squatted up, if that made any sense at all.
Gently I took his hand and looked up into his eyes, they were beautiful like little milk chocolate and I felt totally lost in them, he was beautiful. Behind me I saw the cameras light up as he leaned in for a peck on my cheek and took my hand as we skated off. Wait, did I have feelings for Liam? But I’ve been practically dating Niall . . . Oh God; I don’t want to come in between anyone.
“Hey, so do you want to catch some Ice cream, hopefully eating will take my mind off my aching bum?” He laughed and I couldn’t help but laugh along with him as we skated to the exit followed by herds of Directioners and paparazzi.
