Next Up

Three

Harry's Pov

We all go into the meeting room and talk about our new nephew. We sit around the table in the spinny chairs. Simons here too.

" So how is he so far?" Simon asks me

" He's a fantastic kid. Very smart and well behaved. Him and Hyeri already get along so well. He might look like Zayn but he acts nothing like him" I say

" Wow really? Who knew Z could raise kids so well" Niall says

" Yeah but things aren't all perfect" I say as they look worried

" What do you mean?" Simon asks

" So me and him are in the car and he goes. It's been months since I've been in a car." I say

" What does that mean?" Liam asks

" When Zayn disappeared off the earth so did his kids. They aren't aloud to go outside or interact with the outside world. The poor kid hasn't seen the world in months!" I say

" That's crazy! Kids need to run around and have a life. What the hell is he thinking?" Louis says

" They have a black fence around their house that you can't see through. They even get their groceries delivered." I say

" Poor kid. I don't know how he done it" Liam says

" What about Perrie?" Niall asks

" He said they see her once every 2 or 3 months" I say

" That's a shame" Louis says

" I really wish I could take him as my kid" I say

Ren's Pov

We are getting along already. It's like we've known August since we were babies. He's like my big brother.Now we're sitting on the floor laughing at a story I'm telling. It's not even that funny but when we're together everything is hilarious.

I'm telling the story about the time when me and Caspar went to the mall and some guys were hitting on me because they thought I was a girl. They followed us around and whistled at me and told Caspar his girlfriend was cute. You shoulda seen their faces when I told them I was a guy. We laugh until all of our parents and Simon walk back into the room.

" Good to see you guys are getting along. What's so funny?" Simon asks

" Nothing I just told them a story" I respond as we all hold back our laughs and stand up

" Alright boys. Today marks the day of the beginning of your journey. Tomorrow you have dancing and singing practice. Pay close attention in these because they will really help you out. You will be given tasks at random times. If you fail those tasks then you will not debut as Next Up." He says as we all nod

" In these boxes are rings. The rings have Next Up carved on the front side. And your name carved on the inside. As for Justin and caspian I did get your nicknames carved so don't worry." He says as we all get our rings and slide them on the finger it fits on best

Everyone has their own name carved on their ring so we know who's is who. Mine says August, Leo's says Leo, Ren's says REN, Justin's says J-Oliver, And Caspians says Caspar. Online I saw that Ren had a .k at the end of his name. I have to ask him what it means.

I will never lose this ring and I will always wear it when we are together. My dad was right, the boys really do like me and I like them.
