After the boys had their six shows in Ireland, I was on a plane to London. My mom picked me up from the airport, who had flown in earlier that morning.

"You ready for a very busy day?" she asks me with a smile as we pull into our hotel's parking lot.

"Mom, its four thirty in the morning. What do you think?"

She laughs as she grabs my bags from the back. "Go inside, Lacey is in there waiting."

I do as she says, going inside. Lacey is in the lobby waiting and she drags me up to our room. I'm pushed into a chair and she immediately starts on my hair and makeup. My mom comes up eventually and lays my outfit for the day on the bed.

Within an hour, I'm back in the car and on my way to BBC Radio1. I took pictures with the people that we're outside the studio building and then headed in, immediately being greeted and ushered up to the floor where Nick Grimshaw was waiting for me. There was music throughout the entire building, which lifted my spirits and energy so much.

"There's the most famous girl around!" Nick smiles over at me, standing from his chair to come over and greet me.

"For the week, maybe," I laugh. "Nice to see you."

"You as well! I feel like we're besties already with how much Harry has told me about you. I wish he would shut up."

I smile, shaking my head. "Well I hope you've heard all good things."

"Grimmy! Stop chit chattin and do your job! Song ends in five seconds."

Nick excuses himself and runs back over to his chair. He says what he needs to say, including the fact that I'm in the building and that I'll be on in ten. We end up talking so much that the ten minutes flies by and I'm on air before I know it.

"We are now joined in the studio by Ava Mae Gonzalez. Hello, Ava Mae Gonzalez."

"Hello, Grimmy. How are you today?"

"I'm well, thanks. You were just telling me how tired you are, I understand that you were in Ireland a few hours ago?"

"I was," I nod. "I was supporting the boys for their six shows in Ireland. I'm not opening up for them anymore, but I still like to go to their shows."

"For those of you who live under a rock, Ava got her big break from opening up for One Direction in America. And she's been dating one of the members for... how long?"

"Uh... lets see. I think we're going on five months. Maybe. Maybe it's only four. I don't know anymore."

"Aren't the girls supposed to keep up with that so us guys don't have to?"

"You would think," I laugh. "Harry is actually a lot better at it anymore. I think part of it is that we were attached at the hip months and months before we officially started dating, so it kind of seems like it's been a lot longer."

"Now, to the important stuff. You two have really been in the headlines the last few days."

"So I've heard," I laugh. "I tend to ignore that stuff. I haven't even logged in to half of my apps on my new phone. My cousin was texting me some of her favorite headlines, but that's about all I've looked at."

"Well some photos of the two of you got out and it's just causing a storm. Which I don't really understand myself. I looked at them this morning and they're really not that bad."

"That's what I've been saying! Again, I've only seen a few, but we're young, we love each other, and we're having fun. What's wrong with documenting that? And honestly, those pictures are like rated G compared to some other pictures on the internet.
