Interview Me

*Aurora's POV*

I cry until the tears finally stop coming. An overwhelming sense of relief washes over me due to the fact that I finally let it all go and cried. Even better, Louis was there to comfort me. I unbury myself from his shirt and glance up at him. His facial expression shows the caring, loving dad that he is. I slowly reveal a smile and he smiles back. I hug him again.

"Thank you" I whisper. We pull back and his face spreads into a grin.

"Of course, babe. I love you." he says.

"I l-" I stop myself. I almost told him I love him. But I'm not sure I do yet. He silently sighs and stands up. He goes to walk out but turns back, remembering something.

"Oh, uh, we kind of have an interview in the morning. So, rest well. No nightmares and one of us will wake you up tomorrow. Alright?" he asks. I nod.

"Okay. Good night dad." I state. He smiles.

"good night, lovely." he says back and walks out of the room. I sluggishly shut off the lights and get into bed. My eyes soon drift to sleep.

---------------------------------------

"Aurora.... Come on babe. You have to wake up." I hear a voice say in my ear. I start up in fright only to be greeted by the face of Liam. I slowly relax.

"Good. You're up. Go ahead and get ready. Breakfast is downstairs but be quick because we have to leave in 10 minutes. Love you!" Liam says, leaving. I sigh and go into my closet, picking out an outfit. I quickly get changed and rush downstairs. I sit in the only empty seat and Harry places a small plate of food in front of me. I'm surprised that it is a huge plate of food. Zayn notices my confusion.

"We decided that you couldn't really eat all the food we've been giving you, so we gave you a smaller portion today so you can start small." he explains. I nod, still intimidated at the amount of food. I can't eat all of this! I take a couple of bites and set down my fork.

"You need to eat." Niall states.

"I'm not hungry." I say.

"We aren't eating again until late tonight." Zayn states, to which Niall's eyes bulge out.

"What?!?" he exclaims. I chuckle at his facial expression. Using the cease of attention on me to my advantage, I take care of my plate and mess with my phone until they are done eating. Niall drives with Harry in shotgun. Liam and Zayn sit in the middle and dad and I sit in the back. We soon arrive at a studio. A backstage worker directs me to a spot where I can watch the interview. The interview starts soon and the interviewer introduces himself as Alan Carr, the chatty man.

"So boys, we've heard a bit of buzz about a new single coming out?" Alan inquires. The boys each murmur some form of agreement. "Well, come on! We need more information than that! What's it called? What's it about?"

"Well, it's called Rock Me and I will let the song speak for itself." Harry says. Alan just wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, sending the audience and the guys into a fit of hysterics. I just sit backstage baffled.

"Moving right along! Louis, we have heard about your fascination with carrots. Myth or truth?" Alan asks.

"Truth to some extent. I am not as unbelievably crazy for carrots as most directioners make me out to be, although I must admit I do have an uncanny admiration for the orange vegetable." Dad says. I giggle.

"Well, let's get right to what we are all dying to know. Is it true that you have a daughter?" Alan asks One Direction in general.

"Well, she is actually Louis' adopted daughter but we all share a bit of the responsibility." Liam states, putting emphasis on adopted.

"Well, I've heard rumors that she is here. Could we bring her out?" he asks. My breath hitches in my throat and my eyes go wide. A backstage worker pushes me to the side wings, just in case any of the guys say yes. Dad looks over and locks eyes with me.

"Come on out, love." he states. My eyes go wider. Did he really? No, he couldn't have. Oh, but he did. The same worker pushes me onto the stage and the audience bursts into chatter. I gulp and shyly walk over to dad. I squeeze in between dad and Harry.

"Why, hello sweetheart. What's your name?" Alan asks me.

"Uh, Aurora." I say.

"Oh, well, aren't you a cutie?" he asks, winking at me. Louis puts his arm around me protectively and Alan looks taken aback. He turns to the audience.

"Oh dear, it seems like I'll have to go through daddy tommo first." he jokes. The color flushes out of my cheeks and dad notices.

"It's okay, love. He's just joking." Louis says. I nod timidly.

"Oh gosh, I'm scaring her. I'm sorry, darling." Alan apologizes. "Let me make it up to you. Would you like a drink?"

Dad shoots Alan a look and Alan throws his hands up in surrender.

"Well, nevermind then." he says and turns to the audience. "This is One Direction and their daughter! You saw it here first on Chatty Man! Tune in next week, same time same place. Good night everybody!"

Someone yells cut and Alan walks up to me. I shrink into dad's arm.

"I'm sorry, love. I'm just a jokester." he says. I nod a little and he walks away.

"He's just joking. It's nothing to get worked up over, okay?" Louis says to me. I nod. "Good. Now, today Liam is going to take you to the park, okay? I'll see you when you get back. Be safe." he says, planting a kiss on my forehead.

"Bye daddy!" I call out after him. Liam appears from behind me.

"Are you ready to have fun?" Liam asks. I shrug. He pouts.

"Fine then we will just go back home." he says. I laugh and fake jumping and squealing from excitement. He laughs.

"That's better!" he says and leads me out to his car.
