Care For You // n. h.

October 24th, 2013

I woke up to the sound of my alarm and slipped out of bed to meet Lisa downstairs.

I told her about everything that happened with Niall, and I found out from her that he is indeed single. But I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Also Lisa spoke to Jim for me and he agreed not to tell the boys or anybody else about how he found me. He'd give me my first paycheck today in advance so I can start getting basic necessities for myself.

We drove to Julian's house today, apparently they preferred to write at their homes and then produce the music in the studio.

We approached his huge mansion, and I stared at it in awe. I was expecting something like this, but still its weird to be going to these huge houses.

We went inside and I saw everybody was there waiting for us. They sat around a coffee table and Niall had a guitar resting on his lap.

"Hello, guys." Lisa said setting her purse down and sitting on a chair. I quietly smiled and waved and then sat myself down. I sat in a chair that was by Niall, I purposely sat here so I could ask him about if he brought his song with him.

"Did you bring the paper?" I asked him.

"Yeah, its here." He said slipping out a little folded piece of paper from his jean pocket. I smiled and nodded and placed it on my lap.

"Hey guys, Niall wrote this great song, and I looked over it, and I think its really good. We consider putting it onto the album. Its really emotional and personal." I told the group. Julian reached for the paper and scanned through it.

"Niall, you wrote this?" He asked Niall.

"Yup." He said nervously. I could tell he was on edge. The paper was passed to Jamie and he also nodded in approval. As the paper was passed around, everyone seemed to be in approval.

"Niall, have you shown this to me before?" Asked Jim as he set down the paper.

"Yeah. I know you said it wasn't fit for the album but its really important to me and I want it on the album." He explained. I had a slight grin on my face after seeing Niall stand up for himself.

"People can't relate to it, I'm not sure if its good." Jim said sitting back. I saw Niall's smile fade. I wanted this song to at least be considered to be on the album, I wasn't going to let Jim just shoot it down.

"I can relate to it." I blurted out. S.hit, I have to be careful how much info I reveal so that things don't seem fishy. I'm not from California, I'm from Florida. So I could indeed relate to it, but in order to explain myself I'd have to make a lie. "I'm from Florida, but look at me now, I'm all the way out in California. I left my family behind to come here and try to go to school." I said as Lisa gave me a nervous look. Jim raised an eyebrow and sat forward.

"I can also relate to it." Jamie said speaking up. "I'm far away from home, and I keep traveling farther and farther. I miss it a lot, but I can't forget it. I can't let this all go to my head though and forget what really matters is back home. I'm doing this for my family. Its hard sometimes." I smiled and I saw Niall had a small grin on his face.

"Its not just about being able to relate." Said John. "This song will make fans melt because of the incredible emotion thats put into it. Seeing the boys reveal their emotions through this will make them emotional, and make them love it more. Its weird logic, but trust me, they'll like it a lot. Make it into a music video and have the boys showcased at their homes and traveling, etc, and all the fans will be in tears by the end." He explained, I saw Niall filled with hope now.

"Its showing off a personal level of the boys that we haven't showed before. And its a good personal level." Julian said. I saw Jim open his mouth to argue but Lisa interrupted.

"This would be a great song to sing on tour. Its perfectly fit for touring actually." She said smiling at me. I shot her a smile back and looked at Jim.

"Okay, fine. We can consider it. But it might not make the album." Niall's face filled with joy and he burst into a huge smile.

"Thanks, Jim." He said laughing.

After the day ended we finished about two songs that probably needed to be edited but that was for another day.

As I was walking out Jim pulled me to the side and asked me to go to his car with him.

"Listen, I know your new here in all, so I'll let it go but don't fight against me on my decisions next time. I'm the manager and I know whats best for this band. Niall should know not to keep approaching me on things that I've already said no too." He scolded me. I was surprised he was talking to me like this. "And plus, out of all people to fight me on one of my decisions, you should not be the one. I'm the one who pulled you from the streets and also the one who's keeping your secret. Just saying." He said giving me a dirty look. What the? What kind of blackmail is this? He can't use that as blackmail.

"But... I just-" I began.

"I get it. You wanted to help him. But if you pull something like that again, we'll have some issues." He told me as I just nodded. I didn't know what to say.

"And lastly, I hate to keep being the bearer of bad news, but I can't have you dating Niall. He has more important things to be doing. He has a big heart so I know you can't help it if he starts to like you, but just avoid leading him on so maybe he'll get the point." What an asshole. All he cares about is his own wealth. I just nodded and stood there.

He handed me the money in an envelope and I stormed off. He can't have these boys as his trained monkeys, who does he think he is?

Well he can do what he wants with those boys, but I know one thing, I'm not going to let him treat me like I'm his doll.
