Chapter 8

"Today, I am lucky enough to be joined by five incredibly talented boys. No not the Jonas Brothers, cause there's only three of them."

I laughed at Alan's dry joke. My heart was pounding as Tia and I waited for the boys to appear on our TV screen.

"No, it's the next best thing! Just kidding boys… It's One Direction!"

Then Harry, Niall, Louis, Zayn and lastly, Liam all walked on stage and shook hands with Alan. Then they all sat down, and started the interview.

"So boys, how's being rich and famous treating you?"

"It's alright…" said Louis sarcastically. "It's a bit of drag really."

"I'm sure it is." Winked Alan. "Right so, Liam tell me about the new album. Is it written about anyone or?"

"No, no one in particular. Since it's our first album, we wanted to go for something fun and catchy, that would get everyone's attention." Said Liam.

"Right. Do any of you have favorite songs that will be on it yet or is to early for that?" asked Alan.

"Well, Liam was working on one yesterday while the rest of us were having dinner with my family." That was such a good cover up for last night. Everyone seemed to have bought it. And they weren't lying, Liam actually had been working on a song… the song he had serenaded me with. "But my favorite so far is called 'More Than This'. We all get solo's so that's great." continued Niall. The audience erupted with cheers.

"Yeah, and hopefully for the one I was working on last night, we will all get solo's too." Said Liam.

"Oh right, do we have a name for that one yet?" Alan asked.

"No, not yet. I was only working on the verses."

"I see. Could it possibly a future song to serenade a lady with Harry?" Harry blushed and had a very wide smile on his face. He was so proud of Claire. Even when he was talking about her last night, he couldn't wipe the smile off his face.

"Maybe." He said with a cute grin.

"How's that going by the way?"

"It's going really well." He replied.

"Is it hard with all the jealous fans? Or have you both sort of gotten used to it?"

"Yeah it's not as hard as it used to be. We both just kind of try to ignore it best we can. But cause we're travelling so much, we hardly get to see each other. So when we do get to spend time together, we really try to make the most of it."

"That's great. What about the rest of you boys? Anything juicy for us?" All of the boys suddenly got really silent. "You all look very suspicious."

"Nah, Harry's the only one with a certain someone at the moment." Said Zayn.

Thank goodness for Zayn. That could have really turned into something.

"Hmmm, right well, after the break the boys will perform their Number 1 single What Makes You Beautiful! See you in a bit!"

The show went to commercial and I went up to get some drinks for Tia and I.

"I think I'm in love Al…" she said to me.

I laughed, not knowing if she was serious or not. "Alright, with which one?"

"Louis…" she said, staring dreamily at nothing. "He's perfect."

"Hun, you haven't even met the guy."

"Well you have! What's he like?" Louis was a great guy, out of all of the boys, I got along the best with him.

"He's pretty cool." I said, pouring coke into a glass.

"I can't wait to meet him. I bet he's even hotter in person." She smiled.

"Well, last night I kinda got the feeling that him and Harry had something going." I said sarcastically.

"Yeah, I've heard about their little bromance. 'Larry Stylinson' or something." She laughed.

I wondered what was actually going on between them. I would have to talk to Liam about it tonight. Tia went back over to the TV and sat down with her drink.

"It's starting again!" she shouted.

I hurried back to the couch and sat down.

"Everyone please welcome One Direction, with their debut single 'What Makes You Beautiful!"

The song was amazing. The only time I had heard it was in the cab with Tia on the way to the hotel, and I wasn't really listening properly because I was to busy thinking about Liam. But this time I really paid attention, and I adored the song. It was catchy, fun, and not to mention the boys' voices. They could all sing incredibly well. I was surprised they didn't win X Factor…

When the song had finished, Tia and I stood up and started clapping like we we're actually in the audience.

"Great job boys! Fantastic!" Alan had walked onto the stage and stood in the middle of the boys. "Everyone give a huge round of applause for One Direction!" the audience went crazy. "Tune in next week for some more fun with special guests Pixie Lott and Leona Lewis!" then the credits started to roll.

Tia turned the TV off and hurried to her bedroom. "Right! Time to figure out what I'm wearing tonight! Do you reckon Louis is more of a dress guy, or a shorts and t-shirt guy?"

"Definitely dress guy." She turned around and hurried into her room, leaving me sitting on the couch.

Their fame was really starting to sink in now. I still couldn't believe I was pretty much going out with one of them, but the whole 'teen sensations' thing was starting to hit me. I could soon be like Claire, getting death threats from crazy fans, and getting bombarded by paparazzi. I was sure the boys would guide me through it though. After all, they knew how to handle this sort of stuff.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pulled it out and opened the text. It read:

We still on for tonight? Come round at 5 if you want to. Hope you liked the interview ;) x

I replied back saying that we would definitely be there. I couldn't wait to see him again. Seeing him on TV just wasn't enough. I wanted to be near him, to be able to feel him close to me, with his deep, melodic voice talking in my ear.
