The first thing I noticed when pulling up to the house of the band I was interviewing was the vast and expansive land that existed beyond the large gates. And while, yes, I would be going on tour with them, the first three weeks of my journey would be happening in London with drizzly rain and dark skies. And while the boys all lived on one plot of land they didn't share one house. Each boy had his own home all centered in a circle in the middle of the plot of land. I would be staying in a spare bedroom, in the home of one of the members. All I was told was that it was the very center house and to be there at ten. At 953 i knocked on the wooden oak door that was at least eight feet tall and was greeted by a blonde with a flushed face.
"You're early!" He exclaimed.
"I can come back..." i said awkwardly pointing towards my car and wondering just what he could do in seven minutes.
"No no! Come in! " He cried with what i realized was an Irish rather than the British accent i had expected. "I'm Niall!" He pulled my bags out of my hands and gestured for me to come inside.
"I'm luxton, " i said following him a grand spiraling staircase, noticing that while the house was built very adult like the decorations were anything but, and it looked like a teenage boys room, which I guess it sort of was.
"This is your room," he said beaming and pushing the door open, revealing a soft shade of maroon walls; the exact shade i loved. A blanket i saw online and loved; but could never afford, sat on a king sized bed and a small fix tank sat next to it. Noticeably without a fish.
"I...uh...may have found you on twitter and done some investigating..." Niall stumbled his face a bright red as he rubbed the back of his neck. I realized that everything about this room was me. From the color of the walls to a picture that sat on the nightstand of me and bear, to the bed on the floor. I had put something on twitter about how much I was going to miss them while I was gone and in my bio it said I loved the color maroon.
"But bear isn't here..." i said confused, "and he can't go on tour,"
"Your sister," who bear was staying with, "is bringing bear here. And I got the ok for him to go on tour,"
Niall beamed at me.
"Oh my gosh Niall thank you," i exclaimed hugging him. With a grimace i pulled away and realized I had used one of my five allotted touches of the day. Niall must have noticed by grimace because he looked worried, i played it off with a smile. "and my fish?" I teased nodding towards the empty tank.
"well...We cant take a fish on tour so i just bought an empty tank," he blushed. I laughed at him and pulled my suitcase onto the bed.
"Oh...I'll let you unpack," He said awkwardly, "I'm supposed to ask you what you want for lunch..."
"ummm.... what about like...grilled cheese?" I asked.
"Of course! Ill just make that....we're ordering pizza for dinner, i hope thats alright...? The rest of the band is coming over to meet you!"
"of course! i love pizza!" I said cheerily but inside i was dying, the idea of spending time with that many people was already exhausting me. But Niall, happy that i seemed content with meeting the rest of the band, practically skipped out of the room. I heard him bound loudly down the stairs before i sighed. Get over it Luxton. You're going to be locked on a bus for the next few months, You better get used to them now. I lectured myself before setting to the daunting task of moving my clothes from a bag to the dresser that sat across from my bed.
