Hate Love
Chapter Nine
ZELANIE IS 100% REAL AND IT HURTS
Yesterday One Direction and M.A.K.E made their first national television debut on the Ellen DeGeneres show where a total of three songs were performed and games were played. During the interview our favorite daytime television host managed to get Zayn Malik to admit to being in a relationship with Melanie Ortega. After the show the new couple even posed for a picture looking nice and cute and PERFECT. How hard do we ship Zelanie? Hard! We knew it was meant to be since the Mirrors cover. Um, they sang looking directly into each other’s eyes. Gush. As much as we like Zelanie there’s this sick belief that Zerrie will rise once again. However, for now we are going to enjoy every ounce of this forbidden juiciness.
“’You know that feeling when you meet someone and you have so much in common that it’s kind of scary, but at the same time you want to know more about them? That pretty much sums it up.’ Those were the words of Melanie Ortega when she was asked during a solo phone interview about her relationship with Zayn Malik. Minutes later ‘Zelanie’ shippers were awarded with a rare tweet from Zayn himself saying quote ‘I couldn’t say it better.’ Malik’s ex-girlfriend Perrie Edwards is still off the grid, but a source says that she is dealing with the break-up like a champion.”

Ava pulled away as I combed through her hair. She was a tender headed wimp who liked to ask for complicated hairstyles and then squirm the whole time. Tentatively I lifted strands of her hair and began the first braid. Ava winced moving away from my swift hands. We had a half day in the studio and she decided to ask for my hair expertise after we finished.
“Ugh this is why I don’t like to do your hair,” I complained looking into the bathroom mirror of my condo as she smiled apologetically. “I don’t know how Hannah does it.”
“I’m sorry,” she apologized as I attempted to quickly finish the braid. The sound of the door opening caused me to pause as I debated peeking into the hallway. “Are you expecting someone?” Ava questioned in a low voice. I shook my head as Zayn appeared.
“What are you doing?” he asked slowly as he leaned in the doorway of the bathroom. Ava rolled her eyes.
“I could ask you the same.” I responded going back to what I was doing before. Zayn shrugged, “How was the interview?”
“It was okay,” he answered watching me carefully. “Hey Ava.” He spoke directly to my closest friend.
Ava forced a smile, “Hello Zayn.” She spoke formally as if they hadn’t been in the same room countless times. I finished her hair successfully braiding the left side so that it all hung to the right. “Thanks Mel, I’ll see you later.” Ava hopped off of the stool we had dragged into the bathroom. When she reached the door she stopped and waited patiently.
“Give him a hug and you can get by,” I teased placing my comb and brush back into the drawer. Zayn opened his arms invitingly with a weird smile (like slightly creepy weird).
“No thank you,” Ava took a step back nearly running into me. She glanced back momentarily. It was clear that she was annoyed.
“Aw come on Ava.” Zayn moved towards her and she stepped back yet again. “Give your friend a hug.”
“We’re hardly friends.” Ava muttered causing him to stop in his advance.
“Ava,” I cautioned folding my arms.
Zayn lowered his own arms, “What does that mean?” She scuffed. He shot me a questioning look.
“Just go if you want to Ava. There’s no hug required.” I attempted to stop the onslaught of words that was rising. She rolled her eyes passing by Zayn and walking out. I followed going to my kitchen to grab a snack. The door closed as I opened the refrigerator.
“She doesn’t like mw, does she?” Zayn questioned amused. I shrugged emerging with the necessities to make a sandwich. “I want one.” He piped up.
“Well make you one.” I answered in a ‘duh’ tone of voice.
“Why would I when I have you?” quickly he kissed my cheek before walking out of the kitchen. I looked after him momentarily in disbelief. When I finished making the gourmet sandwiches (okay they weren’t gourmet but they weren’t your plan ham and cheese), I walked into the living room carrying the two plates. Zayn looked at me with his phone already drawn as I handed a plate over to him. Quickly he snapped a picture before I took a seat on the sectional placing my plate on my lap.

Erin and I were having lunch in between recording sessions and rehearsals. We rarely spent time with just the two of us and it seemed like the perfect opportunity.
“So how serious are you about this Zayn thing?” she asked as we both chumped on our salads. Don’t get me wrong, I am a Big Mac kind of girl, but a little healthy every now and then is good for you. Plus fresh berry chicken salads with raspberry dressing are my favorite. “I mean do you think he’s the one or are you just having fun?”
I shrugged stabbing a piece of lettuce, “I honestly don’t know. I really like him, but a part of me is just waiting on the other shoe to drop.”
She nodded, “Well if it does you know your girls are always here for you.” She reminded me, “But at night I’m a closet Zelanie shipper.” She leaned forward and whispered. I laughed amused. Erin shrugged taking a sip of her lemon water. A waiter passed by with a sizzling fajita and my nose scrunched up.
“Yuck,” I gagged covering my nose to block out the horrible sent. Erin eyed me suspiciously, “Something was not right with that and my nose smelt it.” I commented grabbing my own water glass.
“It smelled delicious to me.” Erin rolled her eyes, “You’re just a picky eater.” I shrugged. She was right. When it came to my food I was pretty picky. “Your poor kids are going to be starved.”
“Whatever, “I dismissed her comment. “ I am not that bad.”
“Mel, you refused to eat at our Christmas dinner because the chicken was fried.” She reminded me.
I placed my hands on the table leaning forward, “I don’t like fried chicken.”
Erin leaned back in her chair exasperated, “Thank God for birth control because a combination of your pickiness and whatever tributes Zayn has just sounds like a bad combination.” She shivered as I rolled my eyes with an amused smile. Erin was always good for a laugh.

“Terrence you know what makes me happy?” Guiliana questioned as E! News began.
“Uh, really delicious Italian food?” Terrence responded.
“Nope, it’s primo pictures of Zelanie.”
“Well then today must be your lucky day.”
“Mine and every other shipper in the world.” Guiliana turned to the camera. “Zelanie shippers were greeted this morning with hot pictures of the world’s newest favorite couple.” As she talked a picture of me and Zayn appeared on screen. We were laying in my bed with morning faces. My hair was fanned out on the pillow and we were cheek to cheek. The only thing you could see was our faces. I was smiling, but Zayn looked like he could use a few more hours. I had posted it with the caption; “Good morning?”
“Yes, fans had a hard time ignoring this one. This morning Melanie Ortega greeted fans with a picture of her and confirmed boyfriend Zayn Malik as her first tweet of the day. Hours later her fellow group member Kaylee posted a picture of the couple that caused even more talk.” They showed the picture of me wearing one of Zayn’s snapbacks with my head on his shoulder. The girls and I had an early morning session and I had bribed him into coming with me. While Ava was recording we were sitting on the couch. I was sleepy and pouty and Erin was snapping irrelevant pictures.
“Out of all the pictures we were given today my favorite has to be this one. I mean what are they doing?” Guiliana motioned to the picture on the screen which was of Zayn and me making weird faces standing in my living room. Let’s just say that our day was entertaining.
Terrence shook his head lost for an explanation, “They are definitely an interesting couple, but speaking of couples did you know One Direction and M.A.K.E are scheduled for a joint tour next year?”
Ava changed the channel rolling her eyes, “It’s amazing what they will report on.” We were in her condo because mine was unconventionally cold. She stood up in her neon blue skinny jeans and hot pink graphic razor back tank with holes cut in the straps. Her hair was piled onto of her head in a curly bundle. “Are you ready to go?”
“Yeah,” I nodded standing in my stonewash rip skinny jeans, cropped red tee and silver sandals. My hair was in a mess of large loose curls under the black snapback I still wore on my head. “I wonder what Tanya wants to talk about now.” Ava shrugged as we walked to her car. She drove to Tanya’s office and we got out. Inside we were greeted by Kaylee and Ava. All of us made our way to our manager’s office warily. As far as we knew we hadn’t done anything bad. Tanya was waiting for us in a black pencil skirt, hot pink ruffled button down and black saddle heals.
“Come in girls and have a seat,” she ordered in a friendly voice which was odd coming from her. When we were all seated Tanya sat behind her desk with a smile. “First off, “Your Eyes only” has sold thirty million copies upon being released for two weeks so congratulations on that.” We all nodded and she continued, “I know you’ve been working hard on your third album and it isn’t set for promotion until next year, but we’ve made a break through. There are a lot of good songs that didn’t make the cut for the second album, but they work for the third.”
“What do you mean?” Kaylee asked the question that was on all of our minds.
“You third album is supposed to have a more confident sound and at least five of the songs you’ve already recorded have that sound.” Tanya explained. “This is why they will be used on the album.”
Erin shook her head, “What about the ones we’ve already recorded?”
“They will be evaluated.”
“And the ones we’re still writing?” I asked.
Tanya held up her hands, “Look girls this album will continue to be a work in progress until October, possibly November. It is only July now.” She smiled once again and leaned forward, “You girls should be happy that you were signed for a third album. Now focus on promoting the second one and increase those sales. You have officially released two singles, not including the rush release of 'Under The Sun', and you are set to perform at the VMA’s with a concert at Madison Square Garden quickly following.” We all nodded. Tanya stood, “You’re dismissed.”
