Chapter 9
Lexi came at 4pm in the afternoon that day. She had rosewood violet hair up in a messy bun and dark blue eyes that you could get lost in. Like Niall's. Shut up Juliet. She was wearing tie-dye silver '66' t-shirt over a dark pink tank top. She had denim shorts on with a wide, beige, leather belt and purple peep-toe heels. She was shorter than me but looked much stronger than me.
'Hi there I'm Lexi and you must be Juliet and Bobby Horan.' She said politely shaking our hands.
'Hi.' Bobby and I said at the same time.
'So shall we get started?' She asked.
'Absolutely.' Bobby said. We walked into the living room and she got me seated.
'Right, Darling,' She aid running her hands through my hair,'What can I do for you today?'
'Well I want to look completely different because, well, I'm hiding from someone.' I said. biting my bottom lip.
'Oh, Boyfriend trouble?'
'No. Sister.'
"I totally get what you're saying! I have the most annoying sister who pretends to be American even though she was only there for like 1 week!' I smiled at her.
'So,' She continued,'You have dark, curly hair so I'll simply dye it blonde and straighten it! But you'll have to straighten it every morning ok?'
'Ok.'
'Your eyes are brown so you can have blue contact lenses which you also need to put in every morning ok?'
'Ok.'
'I'm going to do a full head dye and I'll come back every month from now on for a touch up! So lets get started!' She took my head in her hands and brushed it. While she got on with that I picked up a magazine. The head line was:
ONE DIRECTION'S NIALL HORAN HAS BEEN SEEN WITH A MYSTERY BRUNETTE: PAGE 5
I turned to page 5 and read.
'One Direction's Irish heartthrob is now off the market. Horan was seen getting close and personal with mystery brunette at a Script concert last week. The pair were spotted in a deep kiss during the performance of Hall Of Fame ft Will.i.am. The girl has been said to be one of his bandmate Harry Styles's friends from Harry's hometown. Niall's personal trainer said he saw Niall with one girl a lot but it wasn't this one. Everyone is now buzzing about these two girls and whether they know each other. His personal trainer said 'The girl I saw Niall with a lot wasn't this one but looked a lot like Louis's former girlfriend Eleanor Calder.' It is said that Eleanor is an only child but in an interview with 'The Mirror' last week Calder leaked that she did have a sister but she died a year ago along with her parents. Apparently Calder seemed uncertain when she answered this question so there might be another Calder sister out in the world.'
I slammed the magazine shut.
'Someone dissing your favourite celeb?' Lexi asked.
'No someone is dissing my sister.' I said angrily.
'How on earth did your sister get into a magazine?'
'Let me tell you something that the world cannot know and it's the reason you are dying my hair now. My sister is Eleanor Calder and according to this magazine I am a living dead person that a certain Irish member of One Direction is going out with.'
She froze.
'What?! You're the sister of Eleanor Calder! The person that every Directioner is looking for! You're like the Human version of Hogwarts!'
'Thats a nice way to put it!'
'I'm sorry! I'm a little bit starstruck!'
'But you've met Harry Styles! I'm nobody compared to him!'
'Yes but! He exists and nobody knows if you exist or not! It's like meeting God!'
'Please don't relate me to God!'
'Sorry! But why are you hiding?'
'I'm hiding because I got married to a 46-year old man and I'm only 19. She would disapprove. So I never returned and according to her I'm dead!'
'But she broke up with Louis.'
'I know.'
'So why are you changing your appearance? She's not gonna be around.'
'But that's where you're wrong my friend. She is doing her very best to get Louis back. The last time I saw her I was a French-Canadian cleaner called Arzoo Mirror.'
'Ok I don't want to know that story! But why are you romantically linked to Niall?' She said doing my hair again.
'Well, don't tell Bobby but I kinda was his second lay...'
'Jesus Christ! How many famous people have you fucked?!'
'Well 3. Bobby, Niall and Har-'
'HARRY FUCKING STYLES!'
'Shh!' I said calming her down.
'Sorry. HARRY FUCKING STYLES!' She stage whispered. We laughed.
'Yes Harry. And also...' She leaned in closer to me,'I might be pregnant with either Niall, or Bobby's baby.'
'OH MY-' I looked at her,'Sorry. OH MY GOD!'
'Now enough gossip and carry on with my hair!'
'Oh I'm already done. I was so excited that I did it really quickly.'
'Oh thanks! Can I have the contact lenses now?'
'Yeah sure.' She handed me them in a little box. I shoved them in my pocket.
'Here's a mirror.' She passed me one.
The Brand New Me.
