The sun goes down and it comes back up
‪The world it turns no matter what
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh, if it all goes wrong
Darling, just hold on

"How do you deal with it?"

Claire looked at Ashley "Deal with what?"

"Everything" Ashley whispered "I feel like an outsider amongst everyone here- I'm the youngest here"

Claire smiled "The wonder pets are younger"

Ashley laughed quietly under her breath "Amongst the adults!!"

Claire held her hand and ruffled her hair "You're under Louis' wing, nobody is allowed to do or say shit to you"

Ashley furrowed her brows "Why?"

Claire snorted before they both walked out of the room "Because everyone knows how protective Louis is about his family"

Ashley froze before she ran quickly after Claire "Louis sees me as his kid?"

Claire shook her head walking down the stairs "I don't know, you might be his oldest daughter at this point or his little sister. I don't question Louis"

She nodded for Ashley to walk into the room, Ashley walked in and sat down

Claire looked at everyone who was in the room

Trisha, Yaser, Niall, Liam, Louis, Harry, Derek, Stiles, Theo, Dunbar and Ashley 

It was shocking to see Trisha at a meeting but she does join every once a while

Claire then walked in and sat down sat down

Zayn walked in and sighed, he immediately walked towards the head of the table

"Tomorrow is the event, everyone better be ready for anything"

Louis cringed "I'll take it you got an agreement from one of them?"

Zayn shook his head "Not one, Both" Zayn said rubbing his jaw before he pushed down a button and everyone got a digital screen in the table in front of them

"These are Jeffery Young, and Andre person. I honestly didn't expect them to agree" He said then sat down

"They won't make a big deal about their appearance, they'll make anonymous bids."

Theo smiled "So we force them out?"

Zayn nodded "Yes"

Dunbar tilted his head to the side "What's the plan?"

Zayn stayed quiet then looked at Liam (Payne)

Everyone followed his gaze and Liam looked down, suddenly finding his hands interesting

"I have a plan or 2 up my sleeve" He said then leaned ahead, joining his hands on the table

~~~~~

After the meeting, Claire was the first to stand and she was about to run out of the room

Zayn blinked "Claire"

She slowly turned towards him and nodded with a toothy smile

"Stop acting like tomorrow is a dress up game"

Claire opened the door with her hands behind her back "Any day can be a dress up day" She said then ran off

Zayn shook his head and everyone chuckled as they walked out

Leaving Zayn and Liam alone

Zayn sat Liam down on the table then stood between his legs
