Zayn
We were all going through last minute preparations before Juniper got here. We can't wait! We have some awesome surprises on the way, and Louis looks like he's going to explode from excitement. He felt so bad about everything she'd been through, he'd literally been planning the hug he was giving her. Something about a swing. I don't know. We couldn't wait. She was such an amazing person. She loved us, but she didn't treat us like we were just famous people. We were just people. That was amazing. Because we are. We're just normal lads, who happen to be known for their music. Just a few hours now. Might as well get up Harry, Niall, and Louis.

Juniper
June 23rd. The best day of my life. I'm going to meet my favorite band.
"Don't forget to text. You have money right? You have everything? Bras, underwear, shampoo, toothbrush?" Jordie asked.
"Yes, sweetie. Promise." I giggle. "Also bringing a coloring book, books, sleep mask, Libby, and charger in my carry on. I'm good." I reassure her. I pull her into a hug.
"I gotta go. Flight leaves in 2 hours. Can't be late!" I squeal. She nods.
"Bye, Junie! Miss you!" She waves. I wave back.

3 hours later

It'll be a long flight. But I have my own area to stay in for the overnight flight. I bring out the bear my dad gave me, Libby, and hold her close. I fall asleep, unable to wait for One Direction and the fun we'll have.
When I wake up, it because there is a little girl, about 3, smiling at me.
"Hi sweet girl. Where's mommy or daddy?" I coo.
"Lucy! I'm so sorry miss!" Her Mom apologized. I shook my head.
"Lord no! She was fine! She can stay while I get ready, if she wants. I see her trying to get away." I smile. Her mom chuckles.
"Thank you, miss-?"
"June" I say. She smiles and head back to her area.
"Hi Lucy. You wanna sit here while I brush my hair?" I ask. She smiles and nods. I brush my hair, and put it in a ponytail. I touch up my makeup and rearranged my clothes. I was wearing sea foam green skinny jeans, a dark purple v neck top, and black converse, with the Kay necklace, and my studs.
"Do I look good, sweetie?" I ask Lucy.
"Yes. Whoever you're trying to impress will love you." A voice says. I look up, and her mom is standing there. I smile.
"Bye Lucy. Nice to meet you. Be good now." I say. She hugs me, and she and her mom leave. About 30 minutes later, I'm walking off the plane. Then I see them, holding a sign.
Juniper! We're waiting! What're you waiting for?! I squeal, and walk over, carrying my bag. Harry meets me, and gives me a giant hug.
"Good to meet you in person, beautiful." He whispers. I smile, and he shoves me over to Liam. He's so strong.
"You look even better in person, Juniper." He laughs. I smile again, and I'm grabbed by Zayn.
"I'm loving the Little Mermaid vibe!" He comments.
"First one to see it! Shame on you boys!" I say playfully. Then, Niall is smiling at me, and hugging me tight.
"The boys have been waiting like 3 year olds at Disney." He smirks. I giggle, as then, as if the grand finale, Louis picks me up and spins me around, and then hugs me. He smells amazing, and is smiling like a fool the whole time. I swear to God I'm going to pass out.
"Hey lovely" he says.
"Hey, Louis" I whisper. Just then, Harry walks back with my bag.
"Thank you! Y'all are awesome!" I say. Louis is blushing slightly. I think I am too.
"Well, there's probably a crowd outside, so, boys, let's get into our form. Lou, stay close to June. June, stay close to Louis and stay with Niall in the middle." Zayn tells us.
"Claustrophobia." Niall whispers, shyly, as if he needed to explain.
"Me too. Well, anxiety, but claustrophobia is part of the deal. Let's stick together, shall we?" I ask. He smiles, and nods. As the door opens, I hear screams, and I grab Niall's hand. He smiles weakly, and we make a beeline for the limo. We're at the house 10 minutes later.
"Here's your room" Liam says. I gasp. It looks like the sunset. I hug him tightly.
"Thank you guys so much. For everything." I say.
"Don't mention it. Now put on something you don't mind getting interviewed in. We have an interview in 2 hours." Zayn says with a grin.
"Over YouTube, so it's not live... it'll be fine." Harry quickly reassures me. I take a breath and nod.
"Is this okay?" I ask. Niall nods.
"Matches the colors we're wearing this time, so it's perfect." He grins.
"Let me redo my hair and I'll be good." I say. They nod, and let me alone. I do double braids, and put a white bandana around my head. Then I redo my makeup, and do my nails. I do them white, and do a black stripe down the middle. Then, I head downstairs.

Louis
She looks beautiful. She has redone her makeup and hair, and she did her nails.
"Just in time! We are leaving in a minute." I say. She checks her phone, and laughs. She shows a picture of what I can guess is a friend, and a cardboard cut out of me.
"I've got the real thing" she giggled.
"Dâmn right!" I laugh. Then, we headed to kitchen, and headed for the interview.
"So usually takes 30 minutes to an hour for an interview, because they'll cut some of it. That good?" Liam says. I nod.
"Guys, I'm just happy to be here. Drag me anywhere. Seriously." I say.
"We'll hold you to that, Juniper." Zayn says, looking sideways at Louis, who blushes profusely.
"So, June, we're free tonight. Wanna play Unknown Story?" Harry says.
"Harry!!! She's totally not ready for that game!" Niall scolds.
"Try me." I said.
"Holy shîte, lads. She wants to. Tonight? Before bed?" Harry says. We all nod. 45 minutes later, we're sitting on a couch. Harry, Me, Louis, and Niall on the seat, and Zayn and Liam on the back. The interviewer came over to talk to me.
"Hi, June, is it? I'm Angel. The boys know me pretty well, I interview them a lot for my channel." She said.
"It's great to meet you. My friend and I love the interviews you and the boys do!" I say, and we laugh.
"Well, today we get to meet you and talk about you! Are you excited?" She said. Oh man. I'm glad I brought my inhaler. I'm getting nauseous. Harry shakes me.
"You okay?" He asks. I can't find the breath to answer, so I shake my head no. They all look terrified. Louis is the only one who realizes what's happening.
"I'm going to get her into my dressing room, help her calm down." He says.
The next thing I remember, Louis is helping me with my inhaler, and just talking. Something about his childhood. It's helping more than anyone else has ever helped. After a minute or two, I'm breathing normally, and I can hear the end of the story. Something about fishing with his little sister.
"Did that help?" He whispers. I nod.
"I'm ready to go back out there and start." I say.
"Positive?" He asks. I take a breath.
"Yeah. What happened was I knew that all that attention would be on me, and I flipped. Sorry about that." I said. He took me by the shoulders.
"Don't ever apologize. Not for having something you can't control. We don't mind. I'm just glad you don't get them every day. Ready?" He asks. I nod and we head back for the interview.

In the next chapter, there'll be some untrue facts, but they make the story more interesting. Just telling you.
