Being Security (Conor Maynard and One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 18 - Keeping Secrets

Ella’s POV

Conor ran off the stage and the fans screams blew the roof off the arena, but that noise only grew when One Direction ran on.

“Well done baby!” I say as he runs into the dressing room, picking me up and spinning me round. “Careful! I get sick enough as it is!” I say and am pretty much dropped back onto my feet.

“Sorry!” He says, urgently.

“Don’t worry!” I laugh. “I’ve been alright today!” Conor holds my hands and gazes into my eyes.

“As cheesy as it sounds, it doesn’t seem real! But everyone needs to know, soon. Ben does anyway, he’ll wonder why you keep running off to be sick!” He grins cheesily at me.

“Yeah, I need to get back in a second. Don’t really trust the idiots!” I laugh. “I apologise though, it was the only place I could think of with a toilet!” I smile. I’d been securing the area before suddenly needing to be sick, the only place I knew would be private was there.

“Don’t worry about it hun!” His face was a thousand pictures of happiness, excitement and anxiety. Mainly happy though. I could tell that behind all the happiness there was a niggling thought, probably about his job, or mine.

“Oh, forgot to say… Thanks for almost ruining it earlier! You’re lucky the guys didn’t catch on!” I say, flinging an arm in the direction of the stage, but Conor just sat down with a pen and paper and began scribbling.

“I know… Sorry.” He says as he writes, making his speech a lot more paused. “It was… a… mistake.”

“It’s fine. As I said they didn’t catch on… So-” I stop talking as Jack enters the room.

“Bro, that was an awesome performance!” He says, walking round and patting him on the shoulder.

“Thanks Jack! You did pretty good too!” Conor said, not looking up.

“Pretty good?” Jack sounded shocked and looked over at me.

“You did brilliant Jack!” I smile, pulling a face that said ‘yes I know I’m better than Conor’.

“Thank you ELLA.” He emphasised my name and Conor finally looked up from his scribbles.

“Yes, thank you guys! I’m trying to work, if you don’t mind!” Conor smirked and looks back down at the paper.

“Shouldn’t you be working?” Jack’s head suddenly spins round and looks at me.

“I’m about to go, thanks!” I say sarcastically.

“The question is more why were you here in the first place!” Jack winked at me. “I heard what Conor said before the gig. A congrats is in order!” He smiled. I glared at Conor, and he looked across to me nervously.

“It was meant to be a surprise. I only wanted to tell you guys cos we’re on tour together and we’re all friends.” I say, “Can you not tell the boys? Or Jake? It’s still going to be a surprise for them!” I grin.

“Sure thing!” Jack says, walking over and putting an arm round me. “Welcome to the family!” I never thought something so cheesy sounding would make me feel so special, but I guess that was it, I was now a ‘kind of’ Maynard. I was carrying a Maynard.

“As long as they turn out nothing like you two!” I joke, holding my belly. The two boys looked up shocked at me. I just shrug and smile.

“Look, I’m going to have to get back in a minute before Ben realises and totally murders me for not actually doing my job!” I say, looking round for him.
