Twist of Fate

Interviews and Truth

Niall
"Are you okay?" We all asked.
"I'm fine. I promise. Just an anxiety attack. Louis helped it be over a lot sooner than it usually would be. Ready to go?" Juniper reassures us.
"Only if you are, Juniper." Angel says.
"Let's do this."
"Okay, so we'll do our intro, and then you can just kinda introduce yourself. Good?" Harry asks. She nods.
"And... 3...2...1... go" the cameraman says.
"Hi, we're One Direction" we say.
"and I'm Juniper." She says with a smile.
"So today we are here with 1D and Juniper, or June. We all know Juniper, well, we know who she is. So today, we get to learn all about the process of choosing the lucky girl, and then hear more about her!" Angel says.
"Just let it flow naturally." I whisper to June over Harry. She nods.
"So, boys. How many entries did you watch?"
"A few thousand." Liam says.
"Really?" She asks. Liam nods.
"It was crazy. There were so many lovely amazing girls, and we couldn't chose." Zayn says.
"So tell us the story! How did you pick June here?" She asks. Louis smiles.
"So we'd spent all day watching entries, and it was late. We were going to watch 3 more. We went through two, and they were okay. Nice girls. But then we clicked on June's. We all had amazing things to say after only listening for a minute. I bet now we have so much more to say. But she really stood out. We put her down on the list of names we were considering. I think we all knew she was the one. After another few days or so, we had no more names, so we rewatched the names on the list. June ended up being the one we all agreed on." We all nodded, and Angel asked June a question.
"So, what was your reaction when you first met the boys over FaceTime?"
"Oh my gosh, um. Well they were so nice, just normal guys. They had a few questions for me, but I'll let them get into that if they want. I was happy to answer. They'll also attest to the fact that I took a fangirl moment!" She giggled.
"She did. It was kinda funny." I tell her.
"Don't we all when we meet them?" Angel laughed. "Boys, what was your first impression of her?"
"Mine was that she was very open and kind hearted. She readily answered all our questions. She was just so nice." Liam commented. She blushed.
"She was very positive about everything, and she didn't treat us like the most famous people on earth. To her, we were just normal guys, and it meant a lot to me and the lads." Zayn said. June smiled and blushed harder.
"She was a real sweetheart, and we all agreed later we had made the best choice possible. She was really funny, and made us laugh." I said.
"She was really tolerant of our intrusive questions, and agreeable to everything. She was just very likable and the best choice we could have made." Harry said. June was almost maroon from blushing.
"She was so pretty, and sweet. Like Zayn said, she treated us like normals lads, and it meant a lot. I asked her a few intrusive questions about herself, and she was very open about it. She's just an amazing person, and we can't wait to get to know her more. Right, lads?" Louis says. We all agree, and Angel continues the interview for a while, asking June some more questions. She asked about her parents, and June was visibly shaken. Harry grabbed her hand.
"Um.. I'd rather not talk about them, if that's okay." She says.
"No, no that's fine. That's all the time we have, guys. It was so nice to meet you June! See ya again soon! Peace!" Angel said, and we signed off.

Juniper
"Is really how y'all thought of me?" I ask as we sit down in the living room.
"June we aren't liars." Zayn smiled.
"Yeah. I'm horrified you'd think that of us." Harry teased.
"Okay okay! Just a question!" I held up my hands in surrender.
"Down to business. What time do you wanna play Unknown Story?" Niall asked.
"Whenever."
"You're too easy! My gosh!" Louis laughs. "9? That's in about an hour, gives everyone time to get ready for bed, and get out the slips and set up the game. We also have to explain to Junie here how play." He grinned.
"Then it's settled. Let's go! June, you can go unpack and stuff and meet down here when you're done, that work?" Harry asks, taking charge. I nod, and head upstairs. I grab my gray yoga pants and loose yellow t shirt and put it on. I take down my hair, and put it in a messy bun. Removed my makeup, and then put all my clothes in the dresser. I set my makeup around the mirror, and my other toiletries in the bathroom on the sink. I put on the flip flop slippers, and headed downstairs. I passed Louis' room on the way to the stairs, and he was dancing around to LWWY. It was adorable. I chuckled to myself, and headed downstairs. Louis looked at me and then looked down at himself in his long pajama pants and tee shirt and laughed.
"How do you look so good in whatever you wear?" He laughed. I shook my head, and he lead me into the living room, where Liam and Niall were.
"Guys, explain how to play, I'm gonna go drag out Zayn and Harry's lazy arses."  Louis chuckled and ran upstairs.
"It's really simple. Basically, we made slips of paper, and one person draws one. You have to think up a story from your life. You are allowed one pass, and then you have to tell every story from there. Everyone tells a story. Good?" Liam explains.
"That sounds kinda fun!" I say. Liam chuckles.
"I guess it depends on what you find. This kinda doubles with Truth." I hear a voice from the stairs. Harry grins at me.
"Who's ready to play??" Louis yells as he runs around the room. He comes and sits next to me.
"Hey, um, June, can you help me get drinks for the guys?" Liam asked.
"Sure!" I said. We took drinks, and went to the kitchen.
"Okay listen. I'm really nervous about tonight." Liam whispers. He looks like passing out.
"What's up Liam?"
"Um.. so you're the first one I'm telling, so please don't tell anyone. Okay?"
"Okay. You can trust me." I say, looking into his eyes.
"I... um.. I have a crush on Niall." He whispered, his eyes filling with tears. "He's bi, but I bet he doesn't feel that way about me. I don't wanna pull a card talking about my crush or last crushes. No one else knows but you."
"And now me." Says a voice. Louis.
"Please don't tell. I don't know what to do." Liam says, letting the tears fall.
"Hey, Payno. It's fine. I'm not gonna spill. Would I ever do that?" Louis asks, hugging Liam. He shook his head.
"Use your pass. Anyway, calm down so the lads don't get suspicious. Let me and June get drinks. Okay?" Louis says. Wow, he's really good with this stuff.
We walk back out, and the boys cheer.
"Let's do it!" Zayn cheers.
"Hey, everyone okay? I heard crying." Harry comments.
"Um yeah. I closed the cabinet on my finger it really hurt." I said. They nodded.
"Ladies first." Niall says, passing me a box. I pick a paper.
"Biggest mistake ever made." I say.
"Oh shit. Embarrassment city." Louis whispers. I laugh.
"Shall I go first? Okay. I used to work in a restaurant, right? One time I was taking an order, and I mixed up the two brothers. They were twins. Or so I thought. I asked which one was born first. The one guy laughed and told me they weren't twins. They were on a blind date and had never met before. It was so embarrassing but at least they were proud of it." I said. Liam laughed a little. We went around telling mistakes until we got to Louis.
"Mine is more embarrassing than ever. To me. I was picking up Fizzie and Lottie from school, right? Now I'm their older bro, and I've been able to tell them apart forever, and I even dropped them off that morning! But when I got there. I hugged Fizzie and Lottie, and talked to them. They giggled the whole way home. Come to find out I, the only one who can tell them apart, was calling them the wrong names!" He exclaimed. The boys were laughing so hard the Harry was almost crying.
"Next up: Me!" Harry said. "Most awkward date ever. Oh crap. It's not super awkward, but it's kinda funny. I went on a blind date with Karina. Z, you remember her. She had no clue who I was, so when we were walking into the restaurant, a girl tried to take a picture with me. I was fine. But the Karina punched the fan. She shouted at her, and then I had to explain. She then went on to call me names, making a whole scene. It was horrible. The whole restaurant had heard who I was, so I bolted. She called me that night and started freaking out because she'd heard the music and wanted to be my best friend or something. It was awful. I blocked her, and haven't seen her since." He finished. Zayn was chuckling.
"I remember that. She was bloody awful." He said. We went around a few more times, and I used my pass. At this point, everyone had. It was Louis' turn.
"Oh no. This'll be fun. For everyone. Do you have a crush? For how long, who is it, and why do you like them?" He says. Every single person looked like running, puking, or passing out.
"Who's first?" Zayn asks.
"Umm. Me I guess." Harry says. "Yes. For a few months, and it's that girl who works backstage at our shows. Aquaria Jonson. I like her because she's so sweet to everyone, and she reminds me of You Don't Know You're Beautiful." He says.
"Me next, I guess.." Zayn mumbles. "I've liked this girl named Perrie. She's the one that works at the coffee shop across the way. She's kinda feisty, and her hair rocks. She makes me happier to be me."
"Okay, that's freaking adorable, Zaynie." Niall chuckles.
"Um.. my turn." Liam gulps. "I've liked this person for about  a year and a half. This person makes me feel butterflies whenever I talk to them, and I've been so scared to say something, because I bet they don't like me back."
"Well, who is it, then? Who's the lucky one?" Harry asks. Liam mumbles a name.
"What?" Zayn says.
"NIALL!! Okay? I'm in love with Niall James Horan!" He yells and runs upstairs.

Niall
Oh my god. He what?
"I'll be right back. Same as Liam's, actually." I said, and ran upstairs, ignoring their faces.
"Liam? You okay?" I ask, knocking on his door. He laying on his bed, holding a pillow. He's crying.
"Hey. It's okay..." I whisper, kneeling down next to his back, my arm around him.
"But is it? I mean, I know you probably don't love me. I get it if you laugh." He sniffs.
"But I do. I do love you. Our first tour, hmm. Our duet? Ever since then." I say. He gives a weak smile.
"Me too, Niall. But I didn't know how to say anything." He says, sitting up. I give him a hug, and grab his hand. "Downstairs?"
"Yeah, Nialler. Let's go, babe." I say. We head downstairs. The boys clap, and Juniper is smiling ear to ear.
"Was that so hard?" Harry whispers in my ear. I shove him and laugh.

Juniper
"Louis! Your turn! Then June, and then we'll all head to bed." Zayn cheers.
"Um, okay. Yeah, I like a girl. For about a week and a half now. She makes me so happy, and like I want to stay here forever. I feel like I'm back in school when I'm with her. I hope she feels the same way when I tell her soon." Louis says.
"Who??" Harry says.
"Umm.." he mumbles something.
"What?" Liam says.
"June.." he whispers loudly enough that only I hear, and he pulls his knees up to his chest and folds is arms over his knees and puts his head down.
"What?! Did he say something?" Harry says.
"Yeah, he did" Zayn says, seeing my smile.
"Alright. My turn. I've had a crush on him for about 2 weeks, and I've just found out something new about him. He's so curious, but he's not overbearing, and his heart is made of gold. He's kind of a dork deep down, I can see it, and he's an amazing singer. And I just found it he likes me, too." I say, taking Louis' loose hand. He looks up at me and I nod. He pulls me over onto his lap, and whispers in my ear.
"This is okay, right?" I giggle.
"Never better, Louis" I whisper back.
"Okay, let's hit the hay. It's been a long day for this little lady here. Let's let her rest." Louis says. I get up, and go grab a water for my bedside table. Everyone else heads upstairs. I walk up to find a note on my bed that reads:
Come to my room
Louis xx
I smile and head to his room. He's sitting on the bed. I knock on the open door, and he smiles.
"Come on in, June." He says. I walk in and he pulls me close.
"Hey Lou. What's up, handsome?" I grin.
"Well I want to tell you the story of the minute I fell for you." He says.
"That sounds perfect." I say quietly.
"Well it was over FaceTime, right? I had asked about your anxiety, and you had flat out answered my questions. That's when I knew I like you. But when you had the anxiety attack earlier, and you said that when I was with you, you had felt better faster, I knew I was a goner. I knew I'd love you forever." He said. I had tears in my eyes.
"I was on FaceTime." I whisper. "You asked the questions with little shame, and you were so grateful when I answered. But we fell in love at the same moment, we just didn't find out for a few hours." I said. He smiled.
"Hey, we took a day off tomorrow. We're going to explore. Niall wants to take you to Nandos so bad, and everyone else wants to take you to the park, and then we have somewhere to be. But that's a surprise. Now head to bed." He says, wagging his finger playfully. I get up, kiss him cheek, and slip into my room.
