Hey guys! Um, sorry I've taken so long with the update, but I've been busy, and partly wanting to make this chapter a little longer. I sure hope you like this one.
Now, fanfiction, I don't own one direction, no matter how I much I want to…
ALSO, one of the boys still needs a girlfriend, so if you want me to add you here, just inbox me, and yeah. By the next time I post a chapter, which would be … the 27th..? kind of? Hopefully, but I will write it. So if you send your character, I might be able to introduce you in the next chapter.
ANYWAYS! Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and thanks for author, story alerts and favourites :D
Amanda's P.O.V
I yawned, searching for my phone, to press snooze, and find about 3 blackberry messages.
At first I sat there, recalling all of last day's occurrences, the crash, the restaurant, and me defending the boys. Oh, and my broken foot.
I checked the messages and they were all from Niall, telling me where to meet them and when.
- meet us at the breakfast buffet
-in the lobby
-at 8
I laughed, and checked the time, only to see it was 7:30. I groaned, and stepped out of bed, forgetting about my unstable foot, and falling on my butt.
"Ow..." I groaned, waking Allie up who laughed at me. I rolled my eyes. "Just help me up and wake the others, we gotta meet the boys in half an hour." I explained.
She yawned, and got to her feet, grabbed my crutches and helped me up.
"Go shower, ill wake them." She said, and I walked over to the bathroom.
Half an hour later, we were already and headed out the door. Cassie went down first, and got a wheelchair and I sat on it, and was pushed into the elevator.
Katie pushed the lobby and stared impatiently as it went down. I sighed, she never liked elevators. Finally, a noise sounded, indicating we were at the lobby.
Katie pushed me through the hallways while we looked for the breakfast buffet, we heard laughing and we followed it and got there.
The boys noticed us come in, and they stood up, hugging each of us with a smile.
"We thought we had scared you away." Zayn said, getting chairs so we could all sit at the same table.
Cassie rolled her eyes at his statement, and pushed me to the spot next to her.
"We've all got older brothers, you're going to try harder to scare us off..." She said, and Harry raised an eyebrow.
"I'll keep that in mind. Any other siblings we should know of?" He asked. "I've got a sister named Gemma by the way." He added.
"I'll go last, my family is big." I laughed, and the girls laughed, understanding my life.
"Alright then, I've got three sisters." Zayn said, almost proudly.
"I've also got sisters, but just one." Louis followed, and Liam finished chewing.
"One sister." He said, and looked at Niall.
"I've got a sister, she's a little hyper though, you could see she inherited that from me.." Niall laughed. He looked at us. "What about you all?"
"I've got an irritating older brother, and an older sister who is also irritating, but not as much." Allie responded, pushing her bangs out of her eyes.
Katie continued, while filling up her plate with pancakes, and I worried for her sanity.
"An older brother and older sister." Was all she said as she concentrated on pouring the maple syrup on her pancakes.
"I've got two older brothers, and an older sister. I'm the youngest but oldest in my family." Cassie explained and laughed. "Mature wise, of course." The table laughed.
It got to my turn and I got ready for my explanation. I hated it, but whatever.
"I've got a brother, a step sister, and a little half brother." I explained, and all the boys looked confused, I laughed. "Yeah, complicated I know." I said.
"Wait, so step as in..?" Louis asked, trying to figure out my family as best to his abilities.
"Um, divorced parents, step-mom's daughter." I explained. "Half brother is my dad and step-mom's child." I continued. "And of course, me and my older brother are my mom and dad's child, and I've also got a step dad." I said, grinning.
"Messed up life we've gotten here." Harry commented, shaking his head. I shrugged.
"I don't really think about it." I lied. I thought about how odd it was, all the time, and how messed up it was.
"You're a bad liar." Niall said, shaking his head, he got up, and checked his phone.
"We've better get going, Simon is picking all of us up soon." Liam said, also getting up. "For the record, I agree with Niall." He added.
"Yeah, she sucks at lying, most times, but you can't blame her," Allie defended, cleaning up the mess we had made.
"Lying isn't good, anyway... But it comes in handy at times like this..." Cassie said, and went to push my wheelchair, but I took a granola bar first and picked at it.
"Yeah, and I'm still hungry, that's so unfair." Katie said, and I laughed.
"We'll eat later..." I said, and was pushed into the elevator into a corner. "I feel loved." I muttered sarcastically.
"You should, corners are where most people get raped, so be glad I put you there." Cassie replied, shooting a wink.
"Yes, Cassie, everyone just dreams of getting raped..." I retorted , making everyone else laugh.
The ding sounded that meant we were in the parking lot, where the limo would be waiting.
Allie took over my wheelchair, and fixed so that it fit in the back of the limo, and I limped over and sat down near the door, followed by Niall, then Louis and then Katie.
Across from us, Liam, Allie, Cassie , Harry and Zayn all managed to fit and shut the door. Simon's voice spoke throught the speakers.
"Good morning boys, have a good sleep?" He asked, and there was a murmur of 'yes' and 'yeah' from the limo.
"Good, do you have any idea what the meeting is about?" He asked, and the boys all looked at each other and shrugged.
"Not really, erm, should we?" Zayn asked, and was visibly nervous.
Simon chuckled and shut off the mike from the front seat.
"The hell was that all about?" Niall muttered, and I wondered, too.
A few minutes passed of me being hypnotised by the beauty of London, and I felt the limo come to a stop, I waited for the wheelchair, and was placed on it. I admired the city as I was pushed.
"Gorgeous, isn't it?" Louis said, and I jumped a little, not realising he was walking beside me. "Sorry, did I startle you?" He asked, laughing a little.
"Um, just a bit, I didn't hear you." I admitted, smiling at him.
I was wheeled into a large, old looking building and into yet another elevator.
"I'm afraid the girls will have to wait outside the meeting room for a while, if that's okay with them." Simon said, and we all agreed. "We've set up a room for them, equipped with video games and such, so they don't get bored." He said, and led us into the room.
I looked around, awed and the first thing I said was truly, truly embarrassing.
"IM PLAYER 1! CALLED IT!" I said, raising my hand, and receiving some chuckles around the room, while I blushed.
"Damnit, I'm player 2, and we're a tag team!" Katie announced, and I grinned, high fiving her.
"No fair, you two always tag team." Cassie groaned, and I laughed.
"So we see you won't be bored, we won't be long, so you won't miss us too much." Harry said, and went out the door with a single wave.
"Hard to top an exit like that, but have fun!" Niall followed soon after.
"Uh, what he said." Louis, said, dramatically running out of the room.
"Goodbye." Zayn shrugged, chasing after Louis.
After they left we went into a fit of giggles.
"Those boys are quite interesting." Katie said and I laughed.
Liam's P.O.V
After saying bye to the girls, we were led into an empty room. I could sense the lads were as nervous as I was, maybe even more.
I glanced at Harry, and saw that he was even more nervous. Zayn's face was impassive, he was using his poker face, Niall had a nervous smile on his face, and Louis kept flipping his hair to cover his eyes. Yeah, we were all nervous.
We all sat down in the chairs provided for us, and I fiddled with my fingers. Was he here to tell us how disappointed he was?
"Boys." He said, and we all looked up. This was it. None of us knew what was going on, I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from saying anything stupid. "As you know, you didn't win the competition." He continued.
I vowed my head, ready to get a lecture of how we weren't good enough, and how badly we upset him.
"But I have good faith in you." He said, and we all looked up. I was shocked, what did this mean? "I have decided to sign you boys onto my record label." He said, with a huge smile on his face.
I couldn't hear, I couldn't speak, I could hardly breathe. I couldn't believe it, our career wasn't over, we had another chance.
"You're kidding, right?" Harry spoke, and I stared, silently asking the same question.
Simon slowly shook his head. All the boys were too shocked to speak, so I did.
"Thank you. We won't, we won't let you down, I swear." I said, getting up and hugging him. He chuckled, and patted my back.
"I highly doubt you would let me down, except.." He said, and I bit my lip. "Watch the drinking, I know that last time was a dare, but don't be so stupid next time." He said, and I made a mental note to thank Amanda again.
I nodded, and Harry got up, also hugging him. He was closely followed by Niall, then Zayn, and Louis was the last one to come out of his shock, and hug Simon, and grin from ear to ear.
"Alright, you boys need to get back, I'll call you to meet up soon and discuss everything." Simon said, and I nodded.
"Thank you so much." I said, and grinned at him.
We then left the room onto the other room where the girls where, and they were getting into a game. We all gave each other a signal, and watched as they yelled at each other. It was quite entertaining, watching them play super smash bros.
The game ended, and we all laughed as Katie and Amanda high fived each other and Alison and Cassandra glared at them.
"How long have you 5 been standing there? And what happened in that room?" Cassandra asked, and we all looked at each other, grinning.
"Not long, and we got signed." Zayn responded, letting a smile come onto his face. The girls all looked at us, shocked.
"Did you actually?" Katie asked, taking the brake off Amanda's wheelchair, and getting up and ready to push her.
"Yeah, Simon said he's got faith in us, and that I should be careful with my drinking." I said, and helped Amanda up, hugged her. "And we've got you to thank." I said, letting go of her.
Katie hugged me, and I grinned, hugging her back, feeling completely comfortable with her.
Katie let go of me with a blush and went to go congratulate the rest. I hugged Cassie, and then Allie. I then remembered where we were off to.
"Well, we got to get going if we want to make it to the mall." I said, putting my coat on.
"Right, we're buying you guys lunch, by the way." Alison said and I raised an eyebrow.
"Since when?" I asked, and she shrugged.
"Since you got signed and we have to celebrate." She responded, putting her hat on. I sighed, slipping on my gloves.
"Fine." I agreed, and walked out the door, followed by the rest. We walked into the cold, and I shivered.
"Where to?" Niall asked and I looked around and shrugged.
"I don't know, I don't come to London much..." I said and spotted a street that had many stores on it. "How about we go there?" I asked, pointing.
"Yeah, sure." Niall said, leading the way. I caught up with him easily and walked beside him. He seemed still shocked.
"You alright?" I asked, and he turned to look at me.
"Yeah, I'm still kind of in shock, you know. I- I don't know how we got so far, and now we're getting signed and getting started with our career." He said, shaking his head. "And to think I would've been in uni right now, wishing to be doing this." He smiled, and I laughed.
"I get it; I'm still pretty shocked, too." I said, stopping at the light. "It's unbelievable." I said, and started walking again.
"Yeah, it's the beginning of something today." He agreed, and I looked behind us, grinning.
"I believe it's the beginning of two things, actually." I said, referring to the newly found friendship with both the boys and the girls.
He grinned, looking behind him as well. He pushed me, and I stumbled a bit, but kept walking.
"Yeah, let's hope they stick around for a while." He said, stopping to wait for them.
"Yeah." I agreed.
He was right; it was the beginning of something, something big that would make a tragic change in all of our lives.
And I was ready for it.
