21. The interview.

Caitlyn's POV.

"Boys! Ten more minutes and the show will start!" Paul yelled inside the dressing room.

Minutes later, the four boys came out from the room except for Niall. Where the hell is he? He's so slow, so turtle.

He finally came out, fixing his earplug, he came closer to me and hugged me. "Goodluck." I said as I kissed his cheek and walked towards the stage.

I'm with Lou and baby Lux here, sitting at the side of the stage.

"You and Niall, eh?" Lou asked as she put baby Lux on her lap.

"Yes." I looked at the floor, I don't know but I felt shy.

"Honey, come here for a second." Tom, her husband whispered-yell at her.

"Coming! Talk to you later?" Lou smiled and me and I did the same.

I looked at the stage and it was already started, they're all laughing.

"Can I sit beside you?" I heard a very deep familiar voice, Paul. I sheeply smiled at him and nodded.

"I've heard that you and Niall are dating?" He looked at me as he entwined his fingers.

"Uh, yeah."

"Good to know." He chuckled. Good to know? Why? I looked at him like a puzzle piece. I raised an eyebrow, waiting for his answer and thankfully, he read what's on my mind and spoke; "You know, you're better than Barbara. That chick is so snob, snobbish. She doesn't talk nor smile to us except for Niall." He smiled at the memory as he chewed and bubble gum inside his mouth.

"And whenever I looked at her she always rolled her eyes like this." He demonstrate, he rolled his eyes like a fucking gay and I can't help but silently laugh.

"But seriously, thank God that Niall was finally okay. I remember the first two weeks of their break up, he always zoned out, want to be alone and extremely quiet. That relationship affected him so much, he don't deserve it anyway. But now, he can finally laugh like there's nothing happened. Well, thanks to you because one of my five idiot sons was now happy." He finished. Zoning out? So that was the reason why Niall always out of his mind? He can't think functionally?

"Can you be my dad? Since I don't have one." I mumbled the last sentence. He hugged me at nodded. We're now focus at the interview..

"So many people can speak different languages, but if you could make a different to that one person who can't communicate it would be amazing. I met a girl and her mom in Ireland once they both signed, and I signed 'thank you' back to them and they couldn't believe it. Well, I haven't learned any languages yet except for Filipino language, our friend Caitlyn, always teach me how to speak her language and it's quiet hard... and I really want to learn sign language." Harry answered and everyone smiled. This guy is such an angel.

"Okay, quick questions." The interviewer, Krissy, said as she clapped her hands. The boys all nodded.

"Who's the calmest?"

"I would say I'm quiet calm." Liam answered.

"Niall is really laid-back." Louis looked at Niall and chuckled.

"I'm going to say Harry." Niall quickly respond to them.

"I'm saying myself. I'm pretty calm." Zayn complimented himself, but I guess he's right. He's the calmest and chilled.

"I reckon me or Zayn are the most chilled out. I've got a pretty morbid voice, so I always sound calm even if I'm not." Harry said. Yes, he's right. He always act like he's fine even though not. He's a great pretender.

"So, who is the daddy figure of the group?" Krissy asked as she crossed her leg.

"It's changed. It used to be Liam but now I'm not sure." Zayn looked at Liam and mouthed 'sorry'.

"Hm, I think I still play dad in a certain way. I used to be a bit bossier, but I'm much more laid-back now. I'll only step into their 'sorting out' zone if something goes wrong." Liam deffended himself and cheekly smiled.

"It's definitely Payno. He does still do the dad thing when he needs to." Niall said.

"It's definitely used to be Liam, but I think we're corrupted him. It depends because on some days some people fell more serious than others, so they'll take the lead. It kind of changes." Louis tilt his head as he said the last sentence.

"I can be the dad if I need to be and so can Liam, but our tour manager, Paul, is probably the most like our dad overall. He's the sixth member of the band." The crowd laugh at Harry while he was looking at Paul, smirk appeared on his lips.

Paul was only laughing.

"Paul is everyone's road dad." Liam grin at Paul.

"These idiots are such an idiots." Paul whispered to me and I slightly laugh.

"Who do you turn if you're upset?"

"It just depends on who is there. Louis was really good, because as much as he's crazy he does have a really sensible side to him and he makes a lot of sense. He's good to talk to if you want a stable head and a bit of advice." Zayn lean his back to the couch.

"I talk to Louis and also Paul. If anything goes wrong he's amazing to talk to." Liam smiled.

"I feel like I can turn to any of the boys and talk to them. I get a bit grumpy if I'm tired of hungry, so sometimes I just want to sit down and chat with the other guys and get things out. I also find it hard missing home sometimes. The other boys will pick me up if I'm a bit down and vice-versa." Louis spoke.

"I'll talk to whoever is around, and if the boys aren't around I can chat to the crew if we're on tour, because we're really close to them. And I can definitely talk to Caitlyn, of course." Harry grinned at Krissy. Why the hell he keeps on mentioning me? What's wrong with him?

"I'll talk to Paul a lot when we're on tour but I can talk to any of the lads about anything. Yeah, to Caitlyn. She's a great listener." I blushed as Niall pronounce my name infront of the crowd but felt nothing when Harry speak out my name repeatedly, I felt nothing.

"Okay. You guys are so handsome and talented, billions of girls are drooling and chasing over you and a year ago, you told us that you'll definitely date a fan. So who's single?" Krissy widely smiled at them as she flipped the next page of the coupon.

The boys looked at each other and chuckled, Harry rolled his eyes and slowly raised his hand. Niall, raise your hand.

I looked at the crowd and they're all shocked. 'Why Niall didn't raise his hand.' I saw a girl mouthed to the other girl. What if some fans will hate me? What if they'll throw tomato at me after this? Hell.

"Oh Mr. Horan! It's been two months since you and Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin broke up, are you okay now? It looks like you've found another girl again. And what can you say about Barbara and to her soon to be husband, Brandon?" Hearing Barbara's name makes my stomach twist. I know Niall doesn't like that pussy anymore but what if he do still love Barbara?

Niall looked at the floor and laughed. He place the microphone infront of his mouth and spoke; "Uh, yeah. I'm absolutely okay now and I don't care about my ex-girlfiend anymore. I'm happy for them though." Smile plastered on his face and I can say it's genuine..He meant it.

"So how did you met?" Krissy asked, reffering to Niall's girlfriend.

"At the concert, obviously she's a fan of ours."

"That's nice, you finally dated a fan. No offense guys but, the type of girl you always date was model, singers, dancers, something like that and I'm grateful that you're giving the fans a chance." Krissy smiled at the boys and looked at the crowd, "Don't lose hope girls! Harry is the only single bloke in the band, you still have a chance!" She yelled and they all cheered.

Luckily, they didn't ask what's Niall's girlfriend name but for damn sure, fucking paps are creating some shitty names right now and spreading it through the internet.
