"That's what makes you beautiful!" they finished, singing like angels. All five took their headphones off. "And we're done!" I said, opening the door to the recording room. I shook hands with each of them. "It's so nice to have Simon as a manager! And that song was great! Who wrote it?" the curly hair one asked me. "Oh, umm that song was by someone in this studio, I don't know who though." I said. They smiled. I didn't want them to know who I was, much less get close to them.
"Your voice seems familiar..." the blonde one trailed off. "Oh, that's weird." I said back, shocked. Was it possible they listened to my radio station? "Hey guys, I heard the copy. Well done!" Simon said, walking through the door. I hung my head low, hoping he wouldn't say anything. "Hey Lilly, would you mind taking them downstairs to get something to drink?" he asked me. I nodded my head. "C'mon guys!" I said.
I hoped the blonde one stopped thinking about my voice, but he looked like he was still trying to figure it out. I walked them down to the starbucks that was in the studio. "Hey Josh! We'd like a few coffees!" Each one of them ordered their own drinks and sat down. Josh took a break and sat at a separate table with me. We spoke in a small whisper towards each other. "So do they know?" he asked. "Know what?" "You're Simon's niece and your 'identity'." I stared dead at him. "No, and I don't want you to tell them." He gave me a weird look. "So did you write that song for them?" I looked down at my hands and stirred my straw in my frappicino. "Uhh...yea." He smiled a little. "It sounded nice."
"Thanks." I said. I couldn't help but blush. "I know it!" the blonde one said, startling me. I practically jumped in my chair. "Y-you know what...?" I asked. "What color the sky really is! Louis had me thinking for a while there." he exclaimed. I took a breath in and out. "Hey Lilly, if you're that worried, why don't you tell them?" Josh said, giving a concerning look. "It's not that simple Josh. I get bullied at school for it, then they'd ask why. You know it gets me emotional talking about my f-" I let out another breath. "Look do we have to talk about this?" I asked.
"No. I'm sorry." he said. I then felt hands around me, and I almost screamed. "Love, its okay, its only me," The curly one said. "I'd like to introduce ourselves. I'm Harry, that's Liam, Zayn, Louis, and Niall." he said, pointing each one out. "Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Lillian, but you can call me Lilly." "Lilly it is." Harry said. I laughed. I looked at Josh. "Well I better take them back upstairs. Talk to you later!" I said, waving goodbye to Josh, the guys following behind me. "So do you like him?" Niall asked. "No, we're just friends." I frowned. Truth is, I kind of liked him, but I wasn't going to tell strangers I just met. "So how did you start working here, you look pretty young-" Zayn said, but I cut him off. "Its only to save up for college. I'm 16, not that young." I felt sorry that I rushed the words out, but I didn't need them knowing my business.
I led the boys back in the room. "Hey Lilly, where's the bathroom?" Louis asked. Oh, it's this way. I said, taking him. He looked back and grabbed my arm. "What are you do-" I asked. "Look love, I'm sorry, I know there's something you're not telling us. I'm not trying to get all up in your face, but if you need anything, I'm here for you, we all are. Just let us know." He said, leaving me there, speechless. I saw him walk back to the room, leaving myself in the hallway all alone.
