August's Pov

" I still don't understand why I have to do this"

" Don't you wanna follow your dad's footsteps?" My dad asks

" And leave the band? Sure" I say as he rolls his eyes

" Cmon August don't give me a hard time on this. This meant a lot to me when i did it. You're gonna like it too" he says leaning over the counter and looking in my eyes

" They all already know each other. I haven't even seen them before" I say

" I know it's my fault and I'm sorry. Trust me, the boys are gonna like you" he says

My name is August Malik. Today is the day I meet my new band mates for the first time. They know each other because they grew up together. When my dad left the band he disappeared off the face of the earth and didn't keep in contact with the boys.

We live in America, why America out of all places? I did live in England for a little bit but I don't remember it. A month after my mom had my sister Riley they split up. My dad took us and we moved to America. I still see my mom. Sometimes her band is in town and she takes us for whenever she is here.

" Are we leaving now?" My sister says walking down the stairs

That's Riley Malik. My 12 year old sister who I love to death. She's basically my only friend I have. Since we've been homeschooled our whole life we never made any friends. We get in the car and head to the airport.

Ren's Pov

" I can't wait till August comes!!" I yell jumping on Oliver's back

" Me too!!" Caspar yells doing the same and jumping on Leo's back

" I don't know why you guys are so excited. He could be really rude." Leo says

" You all know the stories our dads tell us about Zayn" Oliver says

" That doesn't mean anything. I bet you he's nice." Caspar says

" Yeah. And when he gets here you guys better not be assholes to him. He's one of us too" I say

My name is Ren Styles. I'm the 15 year old son of Harry styles. Everyone says I look like him because of my long hair. My hair is almost black and falls about an inch past my shoulders but it's straight. The only things we have in common is the long hair and the blue eyes. That's because my mom is Korean.

I don't look fully Korean and I don't look fully American. I look like someone in between those two.Anyway today we are gonna meet August. I don't know much about him since he lives in America. I'm excited to meet him though.

August Pov

They call my flight which means it's time for me to go.

" Promise me you're gonna try your absolute best. Your staying with your uncle Harry and he loves kids so he's gonna treat you like his own.Trust me these boys are very nice and you're gonna love them. When things get tough......don't pull a Zayn" he says as I hug him

" We will visit you whenever we can! Don't forget to come visit us too"  Riley says joining the hug

" I'll call you whenever I can. Love you guys." I say hugging them once more then walking into the terminal

The whole plane ride I think about how my life is about to change. Hopefully it's a good change. Finally I arrive in the UK. I walk out of the terminal and see a tall guy with a hoodie and sunglasses on holding a sign that says August Z. Malik. That must be my uncle Harry. There's an Asian girl standing next to him leaning on his shoulder. She's wearing a hoodie and sunglasses too. Yeah that's definitely him. I walk towards them and they immediately smile.

"  Are you August?" The girl asks

" Yeah" I say

" Oh it's so nice to finally meet you. You look so much like Zayn" Harry says

" Thanks. I'm so glad I finally get to meet you too" i smile

" Let's take him to the car so we can take this stuff off" she says

We walk out front to a black limo with tinted windows. We get in and the driver puts my suitcases in the trunk. They sit facing towards me and take their disguise off. The girl has short brown hair and really pure skin. I already knew what Uncle H looks like so when his long curls came falling out of the hoodie and down his back, I was not surprised.

" Aigoo he's so handsome. You have beautiful eyes August" she says as I smile

" How's my nephew been?" Harry asks

" Everything's been fine" I say

" I didn't introduce myself. My name is Hyeri I'm your aunt but you can call me Noona. It's how you address an older girl in Korean" she says as I nod

The limo stops at a house in a gated neighborhood. Wow I thought my house was nice back at home but this is amazing. We get out the car and I roll my 2 suitcases. We reach the door and Harry opens it.
