chapter 3

Harper

"Did you read this article?"

I finished reading the article that had been published and I couldn't help but smirk. Even the press knew how fake this relationship was.

"It's not my fault, the press thinks it's fake. Can't control the press."

"Oh Harper, it is your fault. Think of it as an acting job. We want you to look at her like you look at that boyfriend of yours and kiss her like you kiss him."

"His name is Nick." I defended him.

"You heard we have to say Harper, now deliver."

j-14 interview

INT: Harper! Eleanor! Come in guys! Welcome!

ELEANOR: Thank you! Oh my gosh I love your dress!

I: Thank you! You look gorgeous yourself! And Harper, it's nice to finally see you!

Harper: Yeah, you too...

They both sit down and some of the fans in the small crowd begin to squeal at the sight of Harper and his "beloved" girlfriend. Others seem to know the situation that's occurring in front of them, as some of them are part of the One Direction fandom and knew Eleanor's recent occupation.

I: So Harper, welcome to the world of fame! How's it been?

H: Well it's been pretty sick, my first EP is being released soon and I've worked so hard on all the songs written for it. It's all quite exciting and I've got my first recording session with a special somebody soon.

I: Mind spilling the beans on who?

H (winks) : Some secrets are meant to be secret.

I: Harper you're hilarious! So, what everyone in this room really wants to know is...

H: (Oh god, not Eleanor now...)

I: What is up with that beautiful long hair?! It's so fantastic I may pass out right here.

H: (Thank you lord) My bo--best friend Nick literally forced me to grow it out.

I: I don't think America has heard of Nick? Tell us more.

H: We're literally joined at the hip. He came to America with me, but he didn't want to come today. He isn't up for this side of fame. He's mute.

I: He can't talk?

H: Not at all. But we still get along and he means a lot to me.

A lot of fans begin to take note in the way Harper's eyes sparkle when he talks about Nick.

I: That's cute! I smell a bromance!

H: B-But nothing compares to this romance...

I: How could we forget El?! My dear, we have to know; how did Harper fall for you, even after your last occupation.

E: I quit my job as a cover up. I don't enjoy it and I wanted Harper to want me like I've wanted him. Quitting my job helped our relationship.

I: And how did you two meet?

E: In Starbucks.

A fan snorts in the background and Harper holds back his laugh.

E: It was sweet really, he offered to buy me my coffee and I was flattered. I love Starbucks.

I: Don't we all?

H: But uh, some people don't believe we're real. But what we have is real and I think I'm in love with her.

Harper looks at Eleanor and gulps back every disgusting thing he thought of her down as he leaned in and kissed her live on television. Fans on one side of the room begin to squeal as Harper pulls away and forces a smile.

I: I think it's time to sign off with that. Goodnight Cali!

As we watch Harper's interview I can't help but pull out my phone and tweet off my small account with about 20 followers.

Watching Harper kiss Eleanor on live television pissed me off. Yeah to be honest it really did. I've seen far better.

magazine article #2

TWO STORIES = TWO SIDES

We told you we'd have more on Harper O'Neil!

Harper is quite the contradicting character, if we say so ourselves. He has himself in quite a situation. Half of his small but effective fandom thinks he's gay for best friend Nick Judge, and half thinks he's in mad love with Eleanor Calder, Harper's girlfriend.

Although, we have to side with the #Narry side.

Famous Youtuber Louis Tomlinson hosted a livestream earlier in the spring. In this streamed video, we have captured a Narry make out session. Try to cover that up Modest!

Is Narry real? Or is it all just a misunderstanding? More on our rising star ASAP!

texts: Harper & modest! - afternoon

M!: have you seen the articles? they all think you're gay. what the hell is going on here?

H: my god i did what i was supposed to do. what's wrong now?

M!: come down to hq now. bring Nick.

H: okay.

M!: and luke.

Harper

Nick, Louis and I all walked into a large office and sat down in the the three chairs set up for us.

"Hey boys, how are you?"

"Good," I replied politely.

"Asswipes," Louis muttered. I hit him on the chest and he slumped further in his chair.

"Sorry," he protested, "I've had way to many encounters with these people."

"Like what hm?"

One of the executives got up and Louis snorted, getting out of his chair as well.

"Lashton. I know about the entire thing."

The man's eyes widened and Louis chuckled.

"Yeah, I'm part of that fandom."

"If you do anything to my car--" the man warned him.

"I'll destroy more than your car--"

"Louis!"

I pulled him back in his seat and squeezed Nick's hand under the table. His face looked worried and I didn't need him getting scared.

"Mr. Tomlinson we called you here to talk about your blog."

"M-My blog?"

"We have full permission to expel your YouTube account."

"What why?!"

"There's a video of Harper and Nick vigorously making out posted. We can delete your entire life's work unless you erase that video. And confirm that Harper's straight."

"What? Why are you doing this?!"

"It's show business Louis."

Louis frowned and mouthed me a quick 'I'm sorry'.

"What do I need to sign?"
