RILEY

The next day

"Riley, you have to get ready to go," my mom called from downstairs. I was upstairs in my bedroom getting ready to meet the boys. I get to spend the whole day with the boys, yet I don't really want to; I have to.

"Fine, Mom," I called back. I run down the stairs. I stopped in front of my mom and kissed her cheek goodbye, and walked out the door. Apparently, one of the boys' body guards or someone was going to pick me up and bring me to the boys' hotel room. But when I got in the vehicle, I saw all the boys in there.

"What? I thought that just one person and not one of you were going to come pick me up," I said.

"Well I think it's time for introductions," one of them said, "I'm Liam. That is Harry, Louis, Zayn, and Niall," he pointed to himself and the others as he said names.

"I would guess you already know who I am?" I asked. They nodded their heads.

"So tell us a little bit about yourself," Liam said.

"Um, well, what do you want to know?" I answered/asked.

"What about your family?" Harry asked.

"Well, there's my mom, dad, my brother, Jared, my dog, Jacy, and me" I respond.

"What about Jared?" Louis asked, finally listening.

"I'd rather not talk about it," I mumble.

"C'mon, please," Louis begs.

"Um," I looked down at my hands.

"Please," he continues to beg me to tell him.

"Fine, he's in the military. I didn't want him to go 'cause I want him to get hurt, but he wanted to do it. I've been scared ever since he left that he wouldn't come back," I felt a tear rolling down my cheek, "I just want him to come back, so I know he's okay." I put my head in my hands as tears continued to flow. I could hear whispering from the boys. I took my head out of my hands to look that them. The boys pulled me in for a hug. I was shocked at their sudden action. It took me a couple seconds, but I hugged them back. I was bawling my eyes out by now.

I just want him to come back, I thought. I pulled back from the boys' hug.

"So, um, Riley. What activities do you do?" Liam asked.

"I, obviously, love photography/making videos, I love to dance and run. I like archery, basketball, skateboarding, soccer, boxing, and karate. And I, uh, sing," I mumble the last word.

"You sing?" Niall asked, surprised.

"Um, yeah," I said, looking at my hands, in my lap.

"Can you sing us something?" Louis asked.

"I don't think so," I answered.

"Please," he responded.

"Louis," I whined.

"Please."

"No, Louis."

"C'mon Riley," Harry pleaded.

"N-" I started.

"Please," Zayn said something for the first time today.

"Fine, I guess so. But what song should I sing? And not one of yours."

"Um, what about... 'Swagger Jagger' by Cher Lloyd," Liam said.

"Fine.
