Tom's POV

~

"And we're back with The Wanted!" The interviewer, Megan, said as the cameras began rolling. The five of us sat on a couch across from Megan. "Why don't you all introduce yourselves to our viewers?"

"Hi, we're The Wanted." all of us said in unison.

"I'm Max."

"I'm Tom."

"I'm Siva."

"I'm Jay."

"And I'm Nathan."

We all introduced ourselves.

"Well, Max, Tom, Siva, Jay, and Nathan, the past couple weeks have been pretty hectic, huh?" Megan asked us.

"I wouldn't say hectic. More of an adventure." Jay chimed in.

"See, my stepsister, Jordyn, came to stay with us and we ran into a few problems, but everything's alright now thankfully." Nathan said. I nodded in agreement.

"And Tom, we saw this picture on the news and all around social media," Megan said as a picture of Jordyn and I holding hands and laughing. "Would you care to explain it? We've been getting hundreds of questions."

"Uh... I..." I looked at Nathan for help. "That picture is out of context. Jordyn is like a little sister to me." I answered quickly.

"Ah, so you have no interest in miss Jordyn Taylor?" Megan asked.

I had to think hard about that question. I knew Jordyn was watching right now, but so were our fans.

"No one in The Wanted are dating my sister." Nathan butted in with a stern voice, trying to get Megan to change the subject.

"Alright... uh, what can you tell us about your new album and upcoming tour?" Megan asked, recovering from the tense conversation.

"Well, the album will be released next month and our tour is following two months afterwards." Max said.

"How about the songs?"

"There's sixteen for the United States but a special two bonus just for the UK." Siva smiled and winked at the camera.

"And do you have the title yet?"

"That's a secret," Jay told her.

"Ah. Alright, so what have you been up to these past weeks? Any trouble?" Megan asked with a laugh.

"Well, Max put fake spiders in the Nathan's bathroom in the sink and Jordyn flipped out when she saw them." Jay laughed.

"That joke was originally meant for Nath, but Jordyn's reaction was even funnier." Max laughed as well.

"What can I say, none of the Taylor's or Sykes's like spiders." Nathan said, shaking his head.

The rest of the interview was mostly about our music. I was glad Jordyn wasn't brought up again. Nathan really saved me... but that meant I owed him.

"Tom." Nathan called me as we got home.

"Listen, I'm sorry. I was hoping they didn't bring anything up about Jordyn and I-"

"I'm over that, Tom. I trust you to take care of Jordyn. I just have a favor to ask. Keep her away from paparazzi. Especially tomorrow. And do not confirm if you're dating or not until after she's eighteen. The age difference will be used against you. But once she's eighteen it's perfectly legal." Nathan explained to me. I nodded. I kept forgetting that Jordyn was only eighteen in three weeks.

"I promise. You can count on me. I really like Jordyn... it wasn't like this with anyone else. I feel like I want to protect her more than anything. I just... it's more than dating. I feel like we have a lot in common." I said. I wasn't exactly sure where I was going with this. But Jordyn and I both had ADHD and I wasn't very smart. I got D's in school.

"I know, mate. I can see the way you look at her. It's different from how you looked at Kelsey. I'll tell you that much." Nathan said before jogging upstairs. I went into the living room to see Nareesha, Nina, and Jordyn talking with Jay, Max, and Siva.

"Hey," Jordyn smiled at me. I sat down next to her, joining the conversation.

"We saw your interview on television." Jordyn said, mostly to me.

"Really? How were we?" I asked.

"Great. I'm sorry you were asked a few embarrassing questions. Did Nathan talk to you about it?"

"Yeah, but most of it was telling me to help keep the paps away from you. Also, if we do decided to date, we thought it'd be a good idea to not announce it until after you turn eighteen."

"Oh... Tom, how old are you?"

"Twenty-five. I know the age difference is big but..."

"Is it even legal?" She asked in shock. "We're seven years apart."

"Screw whatever anyone else says. I like you and your age doesn't matter to me. That should be enough."

"You're right." Jordyn smiled. "It is."
