Liz's POV:

I was walking over to the sparring mat, I was training to be a body guard. I wasn't intimidating at all, but I could knock you out faster than you could say 'ow'. I had no idea who would hire someone like me. I am a girl who is only 5'2 and with a weight of 105.

"Come on, pipsqueak." My instructor called. He had me spar someone who was 3 times bigger than me all the time.

"Yes sir!" I yelled back.

I was to spar Nick. He was much bigger than me and I guarantee if he were to sit on me my brain would come out of my ears. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw three guys come into the room. They all had clipboards and I recognized one of them. It was Paul Higgins, the body guard of One Direction! 'Oh my God!' I thought to myself.

Paul's's POV:

I walked from the van over to the building. Camp was commencing and I didn't want to miss all the good fighters. We have to have someone to keep the boys in line. It was hard with it just being my responsibility. 'I want a girl, someone the boys can't help but like. Someone likable.' I thought to myself as I walked through the door of the sparring center.

Clipboard in hand I clicked my pen a couple of times. My hands started to sweat, "Why is it so hot in here?" I asked.

"They like it that way." Someone replied.

I walked into the center rings. People throwing guys over their shoulders, all boys. Then I looked to my left and saw a boy land hard on the mat. I looked to see who caused that type of damage so swiftly. And there she was, that was the one I was looking for. She was pretty, strong, and was a talented fighter. This was the guard for One Direction.

Liz's POV:

Just as I was about to turn around, Nick's foot came across my face. I fell to the ground, holding my face from where he had kicked me. "Bitch." I muttered as I got back up.

I circled him, waiting for the precis moment to strike. When he had he side turned to me, I took the opportunity and nailed him in the side of the leg with elbow. He screamed in pain and this caught Paul's attention. He walked over to the sparring mat where I stood and watched us. "It's on." Nick said with a scowl.

"Bring it." I said through my teeth.

He attempted to strike me with his hand,I caught it and flipped him over my shoulder. Paul looked impressed. "Might I interrupt?" He asked ducking through the ropes that surrounded the mat.

Paul's POV:

"Who are you?" The boy who had just had his face become a part of the mat asked me.

"My name is Paul Higgins. I am looking for new body guards for the One Direction tour. I would really like to talk to you, what is your name?" I asked.

"Nick,"

"Not you, her." I pointed to the girl.

"Me?" She asked. "I'm Liz, Liz Bailey." She was stuttering.

"Come with me, Liz." I said pulling her off the mat.

"Uh-okay." she said stumbling off the mat.

As we entered a van I told the driver to take us back to the bus. "How old are you, Liz?" I asked grabbing my clip-board, I wanted to make her feel comfortable.

"I'm 17." She replied.

"Where are you from?" I asked.

"I'm from Rocky Mount, North Carolina. But I live in London." She said nervously.

"Oh, really? What brings you to London?" I was interested in this girl's back story.

"Well, my dad got transferred and I got transported." She said with a smile.

I laughed, "When were you born?"

"August 4th, 1993." She said looking out the window as we passed the high school.

"Have you ever worked as security before?" I asked.

"I worked at the fair, keeping people in line and making them follow the rules. Does that even count?" She asked squinting at me.

"Yes, it does actually. Do you have a record, as in have you ever been arrested?" I asked.

"No." She laughed, apparently she thought I was kidding.

"Do you want to be a guard for the One Direction team?" I asked before I continued to sign the paper.

"Sure, why not?" She asked sarcastically.

I signed the paper at the bottom. "Just sign right there." I pointed to the bottom of the paper and handed her my pen.

Liz's POV:

'Is this really happening? THE Paul Higgins is asking me to protect One Direction!' I thought as I signed the paper.

"Welcome to the team." He said as the car came to a stop. "Let's go meet the boys, shall we?" Paul asked as he opened the door.

My heart started racing, my palms go all sweaty and I could talk. I just nodded my head and Paul lead me to the door of the tour bus. He opened the door and I heard someone playing a guitar. As I stepped onto the bus, the guitar playing stopped.

"Hey boys." Paul said.

"Paul!" The boys called.

" I want you to meet someone." He said extending his hand to me.

I didn't think about how nasty I looked, I had just come from the gym. I was sweaty and gross. My blond hair was up in a pony-tail. 'Oh, who are you kidding? They won't like you. You are just some American that wants to be a part of their STAFF TEAM.' I thought as I walked a little farther up the steps of the bus.

Niall put his guitar down when I stepped into view. Harry fixed his hair and Louis, Zayn, and Liam just looked confused. "Who is that?" Louis asked.

"Why don't you asked her." Niall said looking back at him.

"I'm Liz." I said nervously.

"Hi Liz, I'm Harry. That's Niall, Liam, Zayn, and Louis." He pointed around the room to each of the boys.

"I know who you are." I said with a smile. I tried to keep calm. I didn't want to come off as a crazy fan-girl in front of them.

"You like us?" Louis asked.

"I like your music. I don't really know you so I can't exactly like you." I said with a shrug.

"That's true." Zayn said with a smile.

"So what exactly are you doing here?" Niall asked.

"She's your body guard." Paul said pointing to Niall.

"Um, Paul... She's a kid." Liam said.

"I'm 17!" I snapped.

Liam sank in his seat. "Oh." He said something quietly.

"What?" I asked. "If you have something to say, by all means... Share it!" I sounded like a bitch but I didn't care.

"I just said you look a little weak to be protecting Niall. That's all."

"She can take me down in less that a minute, imagine what she could do to some of those girls who get too close to you." Paul snapped at Liam.

"Really?" Niall perked up.

"Yep." Paul said.

"Welcome to the team." Niall said getting up and giving me a hug. I smelled him, on accident.

Paul's POV:

Obviously Niall liked her, he couldn't take his eyes off her. Not that I could blame him, he does get pretty lonely most the time. But he is stubborn and I don't know just how well they will get on. Harry had checked her out and smiled so I am guessing that he thought she was hot. Louis liked her, however, Liam and Zayn didn't seem too. That would change, she is growing on me already.
