On the Road

Chapter 3 - Nerves and Introductions

Harry's POV

This was driving me nuts. Paul said a week ago that he'd found the perfect support act for our new tour, but wouldn't tell us anything about them, we don't know if they're girls or guys (I hope its girls, that would make the tour a lot more fun), what they're called, what kind of music they play, nothing. The lads and I have tried to get anything out of Paul but he stood strong on this one, saying we need to just trust him.

" What if they're weird?" We're all stood in the lobby of the recording studio, waiting for our surprise.

"They're not weird lou, just give it a chance." Paul huffed and stood beside me, tapping his foot nervously. I guess it is pretty important to him that we get on, cause he's the one who will have to deal with us for the next year or so.

"It'll be alright lou, don't worry man" Paul half smiled at me and turned to look towards the door. I followed his gaze to the door.

"Here we go boys" He clapped his hands and stepped towards the door to greet 3 teenage girls, around 18 I would say, and extremely hot.

One had curly blonde hair twisted into a high messy looking bun, the fact that she was wearing a Rolling Stones top and carrying a tube of Pringles sold me already. Coming up behind her as she walked in were two darker haired girls, linking arms, one was wearing a beanie with 'bitch' written across the front, the other wearing skinny black jeans and a leather jacket with a white top, gold studded collar and clutching a phone and IPod. By this time we had full, clear view of the girls, I looked over to see my band mates with exact same faces, eyes wide, cheeks a little flushed and mouth dropped open slightly.

Paul greeted each of them with a handshake and a peck on the cheek,

"Nice to see you again girls!" Paul then stood back so the girls could see us, the one in the leather jacket locked eyes with mine for a second then looked down at the floor with a smirk. "I'm assuming you know their names, so boys, this is Maddie, Ella and Grace"

Wow. So these are the girls we get to spend a year with. Bonus.

I walked up to Maddie and shook her hand, softly kissing her cheek,

"Hiya love, i'm Harry", Damn this girl was hot.

"Nice to meet you, i'm Maddie" She returned my smile and dropped my hand,

"I guess its welcome to the team then Maddie"

"Glad to be here" She winked then turned her attention to Louis who pulled her in for a hug and they started talking, I introduced myself to the other two and could already see a bond between Ella and Li. To be honest, Li is going through some stuff lately, maybe someone new will help take his mind off things. I looked back to see Maddie and Lou talking about something, laughing with each other as she seemed to be pretty good at cracking jokes. I can tell Lou liked her already, which is good because it means the most stubborn in the group is won over already.

No doubt this was gonna be a fun tour.

Maddie's POV

In front of us stood the biggest boy band in the world. 5 boys that took the music scene by storm. We've always sort of liked One Direction, just a little, okay maybe a lot. And they are stood right in front of us...

"Nice to see you again girls!" Paul stepped forward and shook each of our hands and kissed our cheeks before stepping back so he was level with the lads.

"I'm assuming you know their names, so boys, this is Maddie, Ella and Grace." He pointed to each of us and they stood forward, Harry approached me first. We shook hands and he kissed my cheek,

" Hiya love, I'm Harry"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Maddie" I dropped his hand and rested mine on my arm,

"I guess its welcome to the team then Maddie" He seemed to shy away a bit, burying his hands in his pockets,

"Glad to be here" Before I even knew what I was doing, I winked and moved onto Louis, who pulled me into a hug. We were soon all introduced and Paul lead us down endless corridors. One thing I made up my mind about already, this tour was going to be hilarious. From what I gathered, the boys are all layed back and sweet and me and Louis got on like a house on fire, I could tell he was going to be my PIC (Partner In Crime). Ella and Liam seemed to be getting on pretty well, and Grace and Niall had started to get into a conversation on the way, Harry and Louis hung back a little from the rest of us so I walked along side Zayn.

"Congrats on your engagement by the way, I love you and Perrie together, you suit each other so well"

"Thanks it means a lot, we haven't got anywhere with planning yet though. I mean neither of us ever have the time"

"You'll get there, don't worry about it" I sent him warm smile as we walked into a room full of black leather couches and a massive music station in the corner of the room, with stacks of CD's pilled up next to it. My first stop.

That's one l thing about me, i'm constantly somehow listening to music, I can't stand being sat in silence, I don't even know how people can walk home with out any music, I just cannot do it.

Paul gave us a minute to get settled before me and the girls could go off and rehearse our set. I set down my bags on the floor up against the wall, put down my phone and IPod and made a beeline for the music station. They didn't have a bad collection to be fair, The Script, a few Now cd's, Taylor Swift's Red (as awkward as that is she is an amazing musician), I kept flicking through until I ran into one of my favourite's. I squealed without realising and raced to put it on, flicking straight to my favourite track when a deep voice behind me made me jump.
