The morning after the party was complete hell, I walked downstairs and saw a magazine on the dining room table. I picked it up and to no surprise the paparazzi took complete advantage of last night’s incident. The headline read:
AVERIE WILLIAMS OF ONE DIRECTION ASSULTED!
I read into the article and was completely outraged. They had the nerve to blame Simon and the boys for this asshole’s actions. I was so angry I hadn’t realized that I was crying. I then felt arms wrap around me, and Liam say, “I’m sorry Averie, I was going to dispose of it before you woke up.”
I wiped my tears and said, “It’s okay, I needed to find out some way.” I took a deep breath and turning to face him, “Liam, what do we do about this?”
“Averie, Simon scheduled a interview for tomorrow so we can do damage control, but in a subtle matter.”
I nodded and he led me into the living room where the other four boys were. They greeted me with smiles, and Niall being the goof he is patted the seat next to him and quoted some line from a cheesy movie. The rest of the day was spent watching Disney and Pixar movies.
The next day was damage control day. I wasn’t too happy about this; I was dragged out of bed, literally thanks to Zayn, at eight o’clock this morning, and right now I’m having my hair and make up done when I’m not the happiest of campers.
“Averie, come on smile! You look beautiful and you’re going to have a fun time!” Lou was trying to cheer me up.
“Let me tell you it’s going to be so fun to tell the whole world how I was groped and my band mates and Simon are being blamed for it. Oh, and the best part is my offender has been released from jail!”
From the shocked look on Lou’s face, I knew I went too far.
“I’m sorry Lou. I’m just on edge right now.”
She laughed and said, “Oh Averie, it’s going to hilarious if you freak out on the interviewer like you did on me.”
I did an obvious fake laugh and stuck my tongue out at her and she did the same, which caused me to really laugh. Lou was finally done with my hair and make up about a half hour later. She slipped me into a white dress the stopped about mid-thigh, and the back was cut out in the shape of a heart. Lou handed me some light pink heels, which went perfect with the dress. I wasn’t much of a girly girl until I met Lou, who basically turned me into one. Looking in the mirror with my hair wavy, make up done perfectly, and this cute outfit, it was the first time I liked the way I looked.
“Wow.”
I tuned around startled, and saw Nick Jonas.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to startle you, it’s just-you look beautiful.” Nick said.
Oh my god. Nick thinks I look cute? My celebrity crush thinks I’m beautiful.
“Th-thank you. You look good too.”
“Why I think I’m blushin” Nick said faking a Southern accent, “No I’m serious my celebrity crush think I look good, I’m redder than a tomato.”
“I’m your celebrity crush?”
“Um yeah! You’re like beautiful inside and out. How could anyone not have a crush on you?”
I shrugged and tried to hide my blushing. Stop blushing Averie!
“And by the way you’re blushing, I think I’m your celebrity crush.” Nick said then winked.
“Oh a little cocky are you?”
“You have no idea.”
I was about to say something but then I was being called to stage.
“I have to go, but I’ll maybe see you later?”
“Yeah, here’s my number, call me later?”
I took his number and smiled while biting my lip in order to flirt. I heard my name being yelled by Harry.
“I’ll call you!” I yelled while running towards the stage.
“AVERIE let’s go!” Harry yelled repeatedly.
“I’m coming Harry! Keep your panties untwisted!”
The interview wasn’t too terrible, although this lady was terribly, how do Americans put it? Ah, thirsty. She kept leaning forward so you could see her breasts, and hardly asked me any questions. That is until we got to the dreaded topic of our album release party. I just simply stated that the man snuck into the party and was not on the list, and just started groping my but the boys heard my shouting and saved me. When I said that Harry punched the guy in the face so he would let me go the interview turned into a twelve year old and said, “Wow, you’re so brave and strong.” I could only roll my eyes and hope this interview would soon be over. Thankfully the interviewer said, “Well that is all the time we have for One Direction, but if you would please put your hands together for a performance by the Jonas Brothers!”
I almost choked on my water when Louis whispered, “Averie, it’s your turn to be thirsty.”
When we got offstage, Louis started teasing me about liking Nick.
“Louis stop!” But of course, nothing stops the old sass master.
I chose to ignore him and continue to walk toward the car. I heard my phone buzz and saw a message from an unknown number I looked at the text anyway and it said, “Averie, I’m gonna be honest, I got your number from Justin and I just couldn’t wait to ask you something. Will you go on a date with me? :) I hope you say yes, just everything about you is perfection: your personality, humor, laugh, style, and your looks are just a bonus. Anyway, let me know! :) –Nick”
I was so surprised but of course I texted him back with one word, “Yes :)”
