"So tell why I have to do this again" I sighed waiting for the boys to give me a valid reason.
"Because Ella's been getting a lot of hate recently and the fans have shipped you and Luke for ages now" Michael explains but I'm still not convinced.
"You all know I hate Luke, so no" I stand and walk away but I feel someone grab my wrist.
"Can you come with me for one second?" Ashton asks but doesn't let me reply, instead dragging me into the other room. He shuts the door behind him and locks it.
"Look, I know you hate Luke's guts but its really important to him. He loves Ella and hates seeing her upset. You never know, if you do this for Luke maybe he wont hate you as much" He says calmly whilst I sit and take in the words he just spoke. I didn't care if Luke would hate me less. I never want to be friends with that arsehole. Ashton looks at me with pleading eyes and I sigh once again.
"For how long" I ask slightly worried that it will have to be for a longer period of time.
"I don't know, but its not like you two will actually be dating. Its just a cover up, you wont have to do anything with him if you don't want" He reassures me and I chuckle. There was no way I was going to be spending time with him if I didnt have to
"Ok fine. But if hes more of a bastard than he usually is, im calling it off. I don't care about Ella or him" I tell him and storm out the room. Just as I slam the door I bump into the one person I really didn't want to see right now. I scoff and continue to walk away.
"So I guess were dating now" He calls down the hall and I turn to see a smirk on his face.
"Whatever, I still hate you" I shout and walk into my room. Why me. Just because I live with the boys and the fans ship me and that bastard doesn't mean that I have to do it. Ella deserves it anyways. After cheating on Luke twice and telling the fans she hates them, she can't exactly expect them to bow at her feet
"Hey, you ok" I hear Calum's whisper through the door
"Yeah I guess, come in if you want" I laugh. He slowly opens the door and enters my room. Calum and I were quite close. It was the same with all the boys really, well all except one. He sits on the bed and looks at me smiling.
"It wont be that bad, its only in public. Then you can go back to hating eachother when theres no camera around" He says and I giggle.
"I know, I just hate that it has to be him. Why cant it be you or Ash?" I ask whining, letting my body fall back onto the bed.
"Because we don't have girlfriends who are sluts and hate our fans" He says and I laugh loudly. It was so true. Calum laughes along with me and Michael enters the room.
"What you goofs laughing about?" he askes whilst sitting on the desk next to my bed.
"Oh nothing, just stupid things" I say trying to recover from my laughing fit
"Ella?" He asks and me and Calum burst into laughter again. We all know eachother so well.
"Speaking of her shes coming round soon" He sighes and me and Calum sit up again.
"Oh fun!" I say sarcastically. She was probably only coming round to snog the face off of Luke. Disgusting. Suddenly the doorbell rang and we all got up from where we were sitting.
"Here we go" I say walking into the corridor and to the front door. I opened it to see Ella standing with her arms crossed and hip to one side.
"God, took you long enough Tessa" She says with an attitude pushing past me. She is wearing a far too low cut crop top and some short shorts. She looks like a prostitute on a night out. And she got my name wrong!
"Tiffany" I mumble and close the door behind me.
"Whatever bitch, where's Luke?" She asked and I pointed towards the living room. She immediately started to skip into the area I had pointed out. I followed her to find Ash and Cal sitting playing on the Xbox whilst Luke watched. He turned his head when he saw us walk in.
"Hey babe" He said whilst letting her sit on his lap. As soon as she was comfortable she turned her head and greeted him with a sloppy kiss. Ewww. They pulled apart and watched the telly. I tried to sit as far away from them as possible, but that was kind of hard.
"So babe, have you found anyone to cover for me yet?" She asks whilst looking at Luke. I knew she hated me so she wouldn't be happy that I was the unlucky girl who was covering.
"Yeah, Tiff. But I wish I had someone better. Im probably better off with a pig" He said, his eyes not leaving the screen. She looked over to me and gave me a death look. I simply smiled and gave her a little wave, ignoring Luke's comment.
"As long as she doesn't take you, cause your mine. Anyway the fans won't believe you too, she's to uptight and bitchy. Why her?" She asks and I feel tears threaten my eyes.
"I mean shouldn't you at least get someone pretty to fake date you babe?" She continues and I get up and leave. She is such a bitch. I ran down the corridor and into my room once again. Shutting the door, I turn and let my back slide down. The tears were now streaming down my cheeks. I could hear muffled shouts and the occasional laugh. Luke's laugh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashton's POV-
"As long as she doesn't take you, cause your mine. Anyways the fans won't believe you too, she's to uptight and bitchy. Why her?" Ella asks and I and Calum pause the game to face her.
"I mean shouldn't you at least get someone pretty to fake date you babe?" She asks once again and Tiff gets up and runs away. God why is Ella such a bitch. I hear Luke laugh quietly and I turn and glare at him. He sees my face and stops almost immediately.
"Whats wrong with her, shes so pathetic" Ella laughes and I get up from where I was sitting
"You think that's fucking funny?" I shout at Ella and she seems taken back.
"Hey, don't shout at my girlfriend. Just because Tiffs pathetic doesn't mean you have to take it out on Ella!" Luke pushes Ella off his lap and stands up. His face is close to mine but I don't back down.
"She was right, you are an arsehole" I whisper to him and go to find Tiff, but I turn to face Luke and Ella.
"Get the fuck out of here now" I yell pointing to the door. Luke looks at me with shock before grabbing Ella's hand and dragging her out the door. He slams it shut and I continue to walk down the corridor. I soon stop infront of Tiff's door and knock lightly. Lights sobs could be heard from the other side of the door.
" Who is it?" Tiff asks quietly and I can hear her voice shake.
"Its me babe, open up" I plead and hear the click of a lock and take that as my cue to come in. My hand turns the door knob and I open the door to find Tiff crouching by the side of her bed crying. Without thinking I race to her side and hug her, bringing her onto my lap. She just sat there with her head on my chest. The room was filled with silence.
"I don't want to do it" I can hear her voice muffled against my chest. What?
"Don't want to do what babe?" I ask and I feel my shirt being soaked by her salty tears.
"Date that idiot, I don't care if his pathetic excuse of a girlfriend gets hate" She lifts her head from my chest and stares into my eyes. Her cheeks are covered with dry tears and her eyes red and puffy .
"Ok, ill tell management and see what I can do" I assure her and pull her into another hug. Carefully placing my arms under her legs, I lift her up bridal style. I place her light body on the bed and pull a blanket over her. She looked to peaceful. I slowly leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead. I couldn't believe she had to fake date an idiot like Luke. Speaking of which, I had to see management to get her out of that.
I left her there to sleep and went into the living room again
"How is she?" Cal asked with his attention towards the screen. I sat down beside him and reached for the controller, grabbing it and continuing the game from before.
"Crying. She doesn't - want to do - the whole fake dating - anymore" I explained whilst trying to kill a zombie. I'm not very good at multitasking.
"Could you blame her, Luke was such an ass" He said pausing the game once again.
"You do know that she won't get out of it though" He says making his way into the kitchen. Im hungry so I follow, curious about what he just said.
"What do you mean?" I ask whilst stuffing crisps into my mouth.
"Management have already made it official. It's everywhere "He says with a mouthful of biscuits. Oh well, there really was no way she was getting out of it. But how the hell am I going to tell her. I can't just walk up to her and go 'oh yeah by the way you still have to fake date the boy you despise because management made it official. Have fun!'. Plus you can really tell she doesn't want to do this. Her and Luke have been enemies since they first met. I don't think I can recall a time when they haven't been arguing.
"Oh well I guess I should go tell her then" I sigh and make my way to the familiar hall. I stood in front of Tiffs door, hesitant about knocking. Slowly but surely I raise my hand and press my knuckles on the wood multiple times. An almost silent 'come in' could be heard and I opened the door.
"Hey, how you feeling?" I ask whilst making myself comfortable on the bed.
"Im ok now, its just what she said about me, but im not going to let it get to me" She smiled. Im glad to see she feels better. But I was about to ruin her spirit again.
"Well, about this fake dating thing......." I trailed off. I knew she was going to be upset that she still had to 'date' him.
"I still have to fake date him don't I ?" She asked and I nodded slightly. Her face fell but she soon covered it up with a slight smile.
"Ok, well maybe it won't be as bad" She shrugged and I looked at the floor
"Could you guys do me a favour and not go out in public for a few months?" She chuckled and I laugh at her question. At least she can make a joke out of it.
"Well, this is going to be a long few months"
