Almost is Never Enough

Oh no!

Ariana's POV

I just got a call for a record deal. I was ecstatic! Especially when I heard One direction is going to be my mentors. They are going to help me and I'll go on tour with them to be their opening act. Oh no! What am I saying? Yeah I'm excited but I have stage fright. How am I going to do this? Wow I don't know if I could do it. I better start packing my flight leaves to London tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. This should be fun.

Harry's POV

I can't stop thinking of that girl Ariana we saw at Toast. I'm so happy that she will be touring with us. Maybe I can get to know her better. Gosh she was gorgeous. Her long brown hair with blonde tips, her brown eyes sparkle in the light.

"Mate we have to get ready. Our interview starts in an hour." Louis says snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Okay hey can I ask you something?" I ask Louis.

"Sure anything for my best mate." Louis says.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" I ask.

"Sure of course I do. Why have you found that perfect girl?" Louis asks smirking.

"I think so. But I haven't really had time with her." I say.

"Well if you think you like her then try getting more close with her." Louis suggests.

"Thanks Lou." I say.

"Welcome Hazza now lets get to that interview." Louis says.

I'm going to take Louis' advice. What's the worst that could happen?

Ariana's POV

I woke up to the sound of my annoying alarm. When I look at the time its 5 a.m. Ugh I'm obviously not a morning person. I knew I had my flight to London in 2 hours so I got up to change into some casual clothes. I wore sweats with a pink sweatshirt with a infinity sign on it. I wore my black converse and put some lip gloss on. I grabbed my 3 large suitcases and headed out the door. I got in the limo that was waiting for me outside.

"Hello Ms.Grande." the driver said.

"Hello I'll be going to the airport." I inform him.

"That's fine. Where you heading too?" He asked.

"London." I answer.

"That's a nice place. Heard you got a record deal." He says.

"Yeah I'm going to be touring with my mentors." I tell him.

"Who's your mentors?" He asks.

"One Direction." I reply.

"They are a very nice bunch of boys. Be careful, don't fall in love to easily." he informs.

"Why do you say that?" I ask.

"Well I'm just warning you. Well this is your stop Ms. Grande." He says.

"Okay thanks." I say handing him his tip.

"Keep that advice in mind." He says before driving away.

Well that was strange. I reach the plane to see Mr.Cowell there waiting for me.

"Hello Ariana." He greets.

"Hello Mr.Cowell." I say nervously.

"You can call me Simon and are you ready for the record deal?" He asks.

"Yes I am." I say.

"Well the boys are still in London waiting on your arrival. I have to say they were very excited to have you join them on this tour." Simon explains.

"Well I'm excited to tour with them." I tell him.

"Well enough chit chat and lets get to London. Can't leave those boys alone for a long time." He says chuckling.

We get inside the plane and we sit in first class. Since I didn't get enough sleep this morning, I'll sleep here.

"Ariana we are here." I hear someone say while shaking me.

I open my eyes to see Simon and the plane was empty.

"We are here?" I ask.

"That's what I was trying to tell you." He says chuckling.

I get up and grab my luggage from the compartment. We walk out of the airport to get mobbed by fans. I haven't even recorded my first song and I already get fans. That's just crazy. We reach the limo and Simon says the house isn't far from the airport. In 10 minutes we pull into a beautiful mansion. It has a fountain in the front and its huge.

"Please don't tell me you and the boys live here." I tell Simon.

"Okay I wont." He says chuckling.

We walk up to the front steps to hear screaming coming from the other side. Simon and I look at each other with worried faces.

"They better not have ruined the house!" Simon yells rushing to open the door. Once he gets it opened he runs inside.

"LOUIS GET OVER HERE!" Someone yells.

"NEVER! IM THE CHAMPION OF PAINTBALL!" Someone else yells.

Me and Simon walk into the living room to see a huge mess.

"WHAT ARE YOU BOYS DOING?!" Simon yells. They all look up and give each other worried glances.

"Well..umm..you...see...we are having a paintball war." The boy with blonde hair and blue eyes says. I think that's Niall.

"Well now you guys are responsible to clean up the mess. Anyways boys this is Ariana the one who you will be touring with." Simon says introducing me.

"Hi again." I say waving to them.

"Hey Ariana! Long time no see!" Louis yells.

"Yeah. I'm so happy to be touring with you guys." I say.

"We are happy to have you come with us too." Harry says.

"Boys I want you to make Ariana feel like she is back home. Make sure you are nice and I want you guys to hang with her often so she gets to know you." Simon says.

"No worries Simon. We got this." Niall says. Simon nodded and left. So I guess I'm stuck with them.

"So Ariana tell us about yourself." Liam says.

"Well I'm 19. I lived in Boca Raton, Florida. I have stage fright but I love to sing. I have a older brother named Frankie and I'm also a song writer." I inform them.

"You have stage fright?" Zayn asks.

"Yeah but I'm willing to try to go on tour with you to get over it." I tell them.

"Don't worry we will be there for you to help you overcome that fear." Harry says. I blush a little but I don't know why.

"Well I'm going to go unpack. Can one of you show me my room?" I ask.

"I WILL!" They all yell in unison.

"Okay I guess you could all show me my room." I say giggling. We walk upstairs to my room. I have to admit they have out done themselves. My room is red with a queen size bed. There's a walk in closet and a flat screen tv.

"Wow guys thanks." I say hugging them.

"Your welcome we are glad you like it." Liam says.

"Well I'm going to unpack and go to bed." I tell them.

"Alright good night Ari." Harry says. They walk out and I shut the door. I quickly unpack because I'm really tired. I put on my pajamas and plopped on my bed. This should be a fun year. I feel into a deep slumber thinking about what this tour will be like.

Sorry I haven't update in a while. I'm sorry if this chapter sucks too. School and ccd and dance haven't been helping the situation. I'll try to update more. I promise the next chapter will be better.
