Behind the Scenes

Protecting What You Love

“Last stop in Europe!” Danielle cheered as we entered our hotel room. It was the entire top floor of the Finnish hotel and it was beautiful. There were six bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, four bathrooms, and a huge lounge area equip with three plush couches, two recliners, a massive television and everything you could want to go with it like game systems, DVD, blue ray, surround sound, even a VCR.

“I’ll be sad when the tour’s over.” Zayn said

Niall went over and gave Zayn a hug, patting him on the head and saying, “Don’t worry, we still have Australia and New Zealand after this!”

“RUN ELEANOR! FIND THE BEST ROOM!” Louis cried all of a sudden, startling everybody except Eleanor who had apparently been anticipating this and they both bolted for the rooms, looking for the best one.

Not to be outdone, everyone else grabbed their stuff and went sprinting for the rooms as well; including Niall who pushed Zayn to the side to do so, causing Zayn to call out in protest but he was up in a flash and looking for his room right away.

I followed suit and went running to the hallway that led to the rooms. The hallway had two bathrooms and two bedrooms on the right and two bathrooms and three bathrooms on the left, leaving one room at the end of the hall. Apparently everyone had gone to the nearest rooms because nobody had touched the door on the end. I made my way to it quickly and pushed open the door.

“DIBS!” I called as soon as the door was open and immediately, Niall, Louis and Zayn run into the room and Niall cheers as the others groan.

We clearly had the best room; it was the biggest and nicest by far. While all the rooms were nice, ours had a balcony of its own, a double king sized bed if that even possible, a large couch and television, and at the end of the room, a spiral staircase led upwards to the roof where there was a canopy of flowers and a private little bench underneath them.

“Well, we won’t be spending much time in the rooms anyways!” Louis said defiantly

“But when we are in the rooms..... Enjoy your Louis.” I said with a grin and he stuck his tongue out at me before exiting. In the end, Eleanor and he took one of the rooms on the right and Harry took the other, while Liam and Danielle took a room to our left and Zayn took another on the left so that there was only one empty room.

“Who’s ready?” we heard a voice call from the lounge and went out to investigate. Luke and Paul were standing there, eager expressions on their faces.

“Ready for what?” Eleanor questioned

“Filming!” Luke said excitedly and recognition dawned on me; that’s right! The boys were shooting their video for Everything About You today!

“Let’s get a move on! The rest of the crew and the girls are waiting on site!” Paul said as he ushered us out of the room.

After about a thirty minute drive, we arrived at an empty school.

“We got the idea after you guys had so much fun at the school in Sweden.” Luke explained and the boys nodded before they got ushered to hair, makeup and wardrobe.

I looked over at the stations and noticed five gorgeous girls getting their hair and makeup done as well and figured they were the girls that would be in the video.

“Hey Joel!” Eleanor said suddenly and went over to the guy sitting in the director’s chair and giving him a hug.

“Eleanor! It’s been too long! How are you?” He asked and they began chatting; apparently they knew each other through her parents being friends with him.
