~ It Never Should've Been ~ One Direction Fan Fiction ~

~ Chapter 7 - The Interview ~*

Jayda and I crept into the studios just as the interview was starting and the host - Kaleb Munos - was just heading out onto stage, the audience giving him a warm welcome.

"Hello everyone!" he said going over to his chair next to the couch, where the boys were going to sit.

I quickly moved down to the front row and took a seat next to Jayda and smoothed out my royal blue pencil skirt.

Kaleb started up again, throwing the crowd a gleaming smile, "So, as we all know, or as I hope we all know, we have a certain boy band here today. Anyone have any ideas on which one?"

The crowd shouted out, "ONE DIRECTION," including Jayda. I chuckled and just watched, never been here or even watched this interviewer before.

"Thaaaat's right," he dragged, keeping up his smile, "So, are you ready to meet them?"

"YES!" the crowd yelled, cheering again.

"Well, here they are!" he said and stood up, motioning over to the stage steps where Louis, Niall, Zayn, Harry, and Liam came running on.

"'Ello, everybody!" they said simultaniously, giving huge grins.

Everybody screamed back as a respond, including me, realizing this show was a lot about yelling and screaming.

They all took a seat on the couch, smushing in together, Louis sitting next to Harry, of course.

"Well boys, nice to finally met you. I'm so glad you guys could make it!"

"Of course! We try and make it to every interview we can, and we were in town so we decided to stop by!" Liam said.

"Well I'm glad you did!" Kaleb said, "So are you guys ready to answer a some questions? We have some from our fansite and some general questions."

"Bring it!" Louis said, bouncing up and down.

"Louis, lad, calm down. It's only the beginning of the show. Leave some energy for the end of the show," Harry said, nudging the excited boy in the ribs.

"Ouch, Hazza! Be nice!"

Kaleb only laughed, "Alright then. Let's start with a general question, shall we? What was your first thought when Simon came up to you after you recieved third place on the X Factor? Zayn?"

Zayn started, "Well, if I remember correctly, I think the first thing I thought was, 'Are we really that good? For Simon, THE Simon Cowell to come up to us, and offer us this.'"

"I think mine was, 'It's a chance in a lifetime, should I take it?'" Liam said, putting his hands on his knees.

"'Where are the girls?'" Harry said, and the crowd including the rest of the boys and Kaleb started cracking up.

"Flirt," Zayn said under his breath.

"I thought what we had was special!" Louis yelled and fake cried into his elbow, earning more cheers.

"You know I love you, BooBear," he smiled and remained quiet.

"Yay!" Louis cheered and stopped 'crying'. "My turn! But, um, anyway, I think my first thought was, 'Wow."

"That's it?" Kaleb asked.

"That's it," he comfirmed, looking pleased with his answer.

"Now, Niall? How about you?"

"My first thought was, 'Bloody hel - OW!" he said, wincing, Harry hitting him hard on the shoulder.

"Niall. No cursing," Harry simply replied.

"Fine, Harry," he grumbled, rubbing his shoulder. "ANYWAY, as I was saying, my first thought was, 'Bloody HECK, HECK, not HELL. Aw, shit..."

Harry hit him again, this time even harder. "Niall, I said no cursing."

"I'm sorry!" Niall pouted and winced again. "Okay, okay, let me start over -"

"Niall, I think that's enough. Next question, Kaleb," Liam said, stepping in with an embarrased look on his face.

"Um, okay, here's a question from a fan. Kristin wants to know, 'If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?"

"Mullingar," came from the Mullingar boy.

"Bradford," came from the Bradford boy.

"Doncastor," came from the Doncastor boy.

"Cheshire," came from the Cheshire boy.

"Wolverhampton," came from the Wolverhampton boy.

"So, home?" Kaleb said.

"Yup," Zayn said, popping the 'p'.

"We love everywhere we tour and all but, there's nothing like home, you know?" Harry said.

"Of course. So as we take it, Harry and Louis live together, Niall and Liam live together, and Zayn is alone?"

"Yes," Liam said, "But of course all in the same complex, different flats. About 100 meters away from each other maybe? What do you think boys?"

"Probably," Louis said, "Seems about right."

"I'm actually quite surprised you boys are so close. I mean I know you've been with each other since the X Factor and all, but doesn't every group have their issues?" Kaleb asked.

"We have our issues and all but they usually end up getting resolved quickly and turns out fine," Zayn said.

Just then I realzied Jayda was poked me. And hard.

"What?" I hissed, it coming out meaner that I meant.

Jayda missed the hint of anger and replied, "Look at Niall. He's looking at you. Straight at you."

I moved my eyes away from her and back onto stage. And sure enough, he was. We met gazes and he smiled. I smiled back, shyly tucking a piece behind my ear. After I did so, I stopped myself and mentally slapped myself, I can't flirt! Why am I flirting?

I shook myself out of the trance and focused myself back onto Kaleb.

"Okay, we don't have much time left, which I wish we did becuase you guys are so fun to be around, I want to ask you one last question before you leave. Are any of you guys in a relationship?"

Liam being Liam, raised his hand, "Me. With Danielle.

Zayn shook his head, "Nope. Just waiting for the right person," he smiled, showing off his amazingly white teeth.

"Not at the moment, but I have my eye on a girl," Harry said.

"Flirt," Louis whispered again, "But, yea, I'm in a relationship with Eleanor."

"Niall?" Kaleb asked, looking at the last boy.

"Well...."

"Oi, Niall, you have a secret girlfriend?" Harry asked, lightly tapping his shoulder.

"No, just a crush."

"On who, I may ask?" Kaleb asked, a grin spreading over his face.

Niall blushed and looked me in the eye, "Ellie Keddington."

Me?!?!?!
