Simon's Daughter
Chapter 25
Niall's POV:
Today we had an interview. It was our first interview since Julia and I have been in a relationship. We both agreed to keep things private, for certain reasons (such as her father; Simon). I was nervous that I would slip up and say something about being in a relationship. The stage manager led us out onto the stage and the crowd cheered for us. We waved back, and sat on the couch.
"Welcome, boys!" The host said. We all chorused in saying 'hello'. "So boys, how are you today?" She asked us.
"We're fantastic, thank you." Liam answered for us, smiling.
"That's good. Now, I'm sure everyone is wondering, is there another album coming out soon?" She asked.
"We have a few songs already, but not a full album." Harry said, as the host nodded her head.
"I'm sure everyone will be looking forward to hearing those!" The crowd clapped, and she gave us a nice smile, as we returned the kind gesture. "So I know you boys have been asked this queestion a lot but I'm going to ask it again if that's alright." She asked.
"Go for it!" Louis said, excited. I don't understand how he can always be peppy no matter the circumstances.
"Who is everyone's celebrity crush?" She asked, curiously.
"Um...I'm not sure I'm comfortable saying that." Liam said, referring to the fact that he had a girlfriend.
"Same here." Louis and Zayn piped in. The paparazzi had got a picture of Zayn and Christa, and Zayn just decided to tell the truth about their relationship. Nobody really knew who Christa was, besides being Julia's cousin. They hadn't seen her around a lot, but sometimes with Julia. The host nodded her head, and then looked at Harry and I. We looked at each other nervously. Quite frankly, I wasn't comfortable answering that either. I didn't think Julia was ever the jealous type, so I didn't know if I should say. Just in case she was watching this right now...
"Hm...I'm gonna go with...Blake Lively." Harry shrugged. I was hoping she wouldn't ask me next. But of course she did...
"And for you, Niall?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Oh, um..." I looked around. I sighed, and decided to just pick my old celebrity crush. "Demi Lovato." I answered. Oh god.
"Ooh, you heard it hear ladies and gentlemen! Harry and Niall are definitely crushing!" The audience applauded, and I felt as if I was about to die.
Julia's POV:
After watching the boys' interview, I turned the TV off, and let out a single tear. So I guess Niall didn't even like me...he's been playing me this whole time? He obviously wants Demi, and not me. So you know what, let her have him. He never cared about me anyways, so it won't be that hard for him to move on...
I laid on my back facing the ceiling. I was currently alone in the dorm room, because Christa was still in her 'mood' from yesterday. I heard my phone buzzed so I picked it up and saw a text from Danielle. Ever since she and El came over to the house in London with the boys, we've become very close.
Dani: Hey, Jules! I'm visiting California this weekend for a shoot, and I was wondering if we could maybe hang out?
Me: Of course! Can't wait 'til you get here, love. xx
Dani: Great! See you this weekend, babe. xx
I threw my phone back down next to me and continued staring at the ceiling. A second later, I heard the door open, and knew it was Christa. I sat up and looked at her. Her arms were folded over her chest and she looked back at me.
"I don't want you on that diet." She said bluntly. I rolled my eyes.
"Well I don't want your opinion." I spat back, laying back down.
"I can't believe you. Your mom would be so upset with you..." She scoffed, and I sat right back up.
"Don't you dare bring my mother into this. She has nothing to do with this situation." I quickly shot at her.
"Well obviously she needs to! You know damn well that she wouldn't allow that shit. You're being so stubborn and we both know that you're already skinny enough. You're pushing it, Julia." She said, defensively. She walked closer to me as she said so.
"You don't even know what you're talking about. You're being such a bitch. You're not my mother, you can't tell me what to do. I'm only a couple weeks away from being an adult, so don't go act like you're in charge of because you're not." I said, standing up. I was done with her shit.
"I'm being a bitch? You're acting stuck up lately. You barely even spend time with me anymore. You're always away with that 'Matt' guy. I wouldn't be surprised if you were cheating on Niall with him seeing how much time you spend with him."
"Well if I'm bothering you so much why don't you just leave? You're the one who wanted us both to come here in the first place. You're the one who wanted to share a dorm with me. If I'm really getting on your damn nerve, just leave me the hell alone! And don't you dare say I'm cheating on Niall, with Matt. Matt's being a better friend than you ever will be." At this point I was boiling with anger and my fists were clenched at my side. She didn't say a word after that. She walked over to her bed and pulled out a suitcase from underneath. Christa started stuffing her clothes inside, and most of her belongings.
"Fine." She eventually said.
"Wow, Christa..." was all I could say. I didn't actually want her to leave. But if she wanted to act like a bitch, then so be it. I rolled my eyes and sat back on my bed.
"I'll be back tomorrow to get my stuff..." And with that, she left the room. I laid back and covered my face with my hands, trying to stop the tears from coming out. I heard a knock at the door and figured it was Matt. Nobody else ever wanted us. I got up slowly and opened the door.
"Hey An---woah, are you okay?" He asked, and I couldn't keep the tears in. I let them flow freely down my cheeks. He wrapped me in his arms, and we just stood there.
I basically lost the perosn that's been there for me since day one.
