Adopted By One Direction

"Thank you, Las Vegas! You've been a great crowd!" I perked up at the sound of Zayn's voice. The boys came thudding down the stairs, laughing and smiling. Liam pulled me into a tight hug, "Hey, sweetheart!" He said. I wrapped my arm around his waist, walking alongside the boys, "Hi, guys."

There was a chorus of salutations from the boys and I looked up at Liam, "How was the show?"

The boys rambled about the show passionately and I smiled at their happiness. We walked out to the car (a black suburban with tinted windows) and piled in. Niall practically tackled all of us trying to tell the chauffeur that we were going to a casual restaurant. The chauffeur nodded once and pulled out of the venue.

We pulled up to a small diner at the edge of the city so we wouldn't be seen and walked inside.

It was fifties-style, with red checked table cloths, glossy red booths and black checked floors. We sat at the bar with the red stools and ordered our food, which mainly consisted of large fries and chocolate milkshakes.

I sat at the bar, spinning on my stool, until Louis (who sat next to me) stopped me, "So, Alexia..." He started. I stopped spinning and turned my full attention to him, "Yeah?"

"Our fans...they don't all exactly know about you yet...I mean, we haven't officially said anything about it."

"Okay..?" I said, confused.

"We were wondering if you would be willing to come on stage at the end of the concert tomorrow night, so we can tell our fans?"

My breath sharpened as I imagined thousands of people all staring at me. I wasn't ready for that...

but I could do it for Louis.

I nodded slowly, "I guess so..."

Louis grinned and so did the rest of the boys, "Great news, Alexia. But..." Niall paused, "Can we eat?"
