"Good evening LA, it's your host, Cruz, of City of Angels and today we have half of Vogue in the studio. How are you girls doing, you both look gorgeous by the way." Cruz announced.

"Thank you, you're too sweet, we're doing good, a little tired, we've just got in from London." I replied into the mic.

"Oh really, did you have a show?" He asked.

"We actually were finishing the filming of our single." Aspen smiled.

"Last Winter?" He asks.

"That's it!" I beamed.

"That was fast, you girls have been working very quickly, it seems like yesterday I heard your announcement of the European leg of the tour." He shook his head.

"It was." Aspen joked.

He faked a gasp, making me chuckle.

"Let's talk about tomorrow, Celine you've been nominated for International Hottie, congrats."

"Oh thank you," I shook my head.

"Who else was nominated?" Aspen asked.

"You're looking to beat Meghan Trainor, Charlie Puth, and oh- Harry Styles. You've got to beat him this time, Celine." He chuckled.

"I'm working on it." I nod, smiling.

"If I were the judge you'd already have the medal." He shrugged.

"Oh Cruz we're on air!" I laughed.

"No but good luck." He said. "You aren't performing this time, who are you most excited to see?" He asked.

"I'm looking forward to Selena's performance." I answered.

"I'm a big One Direction fan." Aspen said. "Always have been."

"That reminds me!" He snapped his fingers. "The fans think they've figured out your little scavenger hunt..." He nodded, scrolling through his iPad.

"Oh man." She chuckled.

"They have over ten thousand Twitter Polls on here," He shook his head.

"What's the answer?" She asked, biting her lip.

"It's Niall, from One Direction."

Aspen looked at me and I watched her face light up.

"Is that right? Can we confirm it?" He looked between us.

"It is." She nodded. "The search is over, let my year long shame begin."

"Shame?" I gawked. "Niall is very sweet." I said.

"Have you met him?" Cruz asked.

"I have, we went to one of their concerts."

"Oh yeah, we saw your Instagram video." Randy said.

"Did you?" Aspen smiled.

"Celine can we talk about performing for a minute?" Cruz asked leaning into his mic. "How is it treating you we know you had a chest infection, how is that? Are you better now?" He asked.

"I'm not," I frowned.

"Really? So how are you handling that on top of everything going on right now?" Randy asked.

"I'm okay." I said. Cruz stared at me. "I am." I chuckled.

"Aspen?" He said in a knowing tone.

"The thing about Celine is that she never lies." Aspen said, pinching my thigh. "She's the most honest person I know. No little lies, nothing. So we know that we can trust her when she says she's alright. She promised that if it became too much she'd rest." Aspen spoke.

"And actually, while the girls are having some studio time here in LA, unfortunately, I will be going home for that time." I said.

"Why's that?" Cruz asks.

"We thought it best that my body takes some time off to heal itself." I shrug.

"Well we do hope you get better very soon. And I know I'm pressing my luck with this topic but..." He lifted his finger. "You and your Hottie rival, Mr. Styles, were out and about on London, yes?"

"We were." I blushed.

"Can we speak of the unspoken?" He asked.

"Um..." I sighed. "Yeah, I don't see why not." I shrug.

"I need to clear this up first, girls, you're both single?" Randy interrupted, apologizing to Cruz.

"We are." We confirmed.

"Okay, continue." She smiled.

"How do you know Harry?" Cruz asked.

"He's good friends with my good friend."

"So what they just introduced you two as friends?" 

"She invited us to a concert up in New York, and he took me out for a drink afterward." I shrug.

"Oh really? And he was such a gentleman you went out again?"

"In London, yes."

"Well then, will you be seeing him tomorrow?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Only time will tell." I lifted my hands.

Harry wasn't mentioned in the rest of the interview, thankfully. He did, however, hear about his name being mentioned.

you just can't keep me out of your mouth can you??

So you heard? 

no, only that I was mentioned

Hi Hamster  

Hello Seal how are you?

Exhaustion just hit joining hour two of soreness, and  muscle cramps.

From the treatment?

Yup

I'm sorry

It's ok, I'm alright.

Soon enough it was midnight and Aspen and I were waiting up for Naomi and Rylee to arrive with the footage of the video.

"Are you gonna tell them you aren't staying in LA for the next two weeks?" She asked, looking up at me from the end of the couch.

"Yeah," I spoke through a sigh. "I just wish I didn't have to. The only reason I agreed was because they set me up with a clinic in my town."

"Well that's good, at least you'll be getting better while you're away. How is that going anyway?"

"It isn't my favorite thing in the world, but there's some progress, which is all I want." I shrug.

It took the girls another hour to get into town and another half to arrive at the hotel.

"You guys are going to love this." I heard Rylee's voice after the door. I sat up, looking at them, struggling with their luggage. "It looks so good put together." She said again. She finally gave up on her bags dropping them and walking over sitting on Aspen's legs, Naomi joined, sitting on mine, making me shake my head. I leaned forward to see Rylee's screen.

The opening scene faded into my face smiling at the camera. It was in slow motion and I looked forward then grabbed what was supposed to be a guys face.

The scene changed to Rylee when she was sitting in the cabin, staring out the window, then the music started.

In Aspen's scene she was doing her make up and ended up breaking the mirror she was using.
