Chapter 17: Toughest Decision

Vas Happening....NO, Jimmy protested... I am from Mullingar, Dublin.... I used to be a baker.... I have one kidney only..... Hi, We are One Direction... Zara, we want you to be the sixth member of One Direction.

We, directioners, have a portion in brain that is continuously repeating the famous lines by our 1D boys. But the last line that Liam spoke, just shook every bit of me. I am staring at him and everyone is sitting in silence. Let me just come back into proper senses.

Let me compose myself for this situation.

"You guys know that I am a doctor. I just came here for this conference. I am not a singer. I don't know anything about music. You people are badly mistaken. I.... I am not here for jokes... yeah I know this is a joke. Nice, it was nice." I try to focus on my food now because all my energy has drained out along with the colour that is leaving my face, I believe. My ears are ringing and I am trying to look calm with a storm in my head.

"Zara, this is not a joke. We are seriously interested in making you the member of our band. Wait a minute, I will show you something" Liam says politely.

He takes out a manila folder that is enclosing some papers. Niall passes me the folder and I take out the pile of papers that were hiding inside it.

"What is this?" I inquire.

"One year contract, Zara." Niall states.

"It's a contract for one year, one year of being One Direction. If you sign this contract, we will work together for one whole year. After that, if you choose to quit, you can. Or if we don't think that we are compatible, we can choose to..." Liam stops explaining.

"We can choose to kick you out of the band," Louis completes the sentence and everyone shoots him a glare.

"C'mon I was just giving words to Liam's thoughts." Louis smirks.

"Thank you Louis, but I will ask for your help when I will need it." Liam says solemnly.

"My helping nature is just a big trouble for me." Louis whispers to Harry.

"Yeah I can see that, now if you would be quiet it will help even more" Harry answers.

"So what do you say Zara?" Zayn senses my restlessness.

"I don't know gentlemen. I'll be honest with you but I don't think this will work."

"Leave that to us. Just tell us, do you agree to be a part of us." Harry has a way with his words.

"I need to think." I reply.

"Alright! You can have all the time on earth. Answer us by tomorrow." Louis says through gritted teeth.

I can't understand this bipolar nature of Louis but understanding him is not on my list, at least for today.

"Tomorrow, then. I'll take your leave." I stand up from my seat.

"Please, finish your breakfast Zara.... The breakfast is not a part of the contract" Niall speaks.

"I won't lie but I have lost my appetite. See you tomorrow. Oh but where?" I ask

"Mark will bring you to Zayn's home. We'll be there tomorrow. Breakfast, it is then, again?" Liam verbalizes the thoughts of his band mates.

"Sure, breakfast then. Have a nice day." With this my father and I quickly leave the cabin and rush out of the restaurant as if we were running out of oxygen.
