Fame and Love

Meeting Five Talented Boys and Getting Dumped

I never was one to be fancy, so when my manager told me that I was going to the VMA's I dressed in a cute baby blue top, skinny jeans, and a pair of ballet flats.The VMA's as usual, were spectacular, and I'm not just saying that because I won an award. To say the least, I was extremely happy. Why wouldn't I be? My dream finally came true, I have a wonderful boyfriend--Josh Hutcherson, and I'm great friends with a lot of famous people.

Well then, Josh forgot me...great. I took a deep breath. It's alright. With his schedule, he probably was too busy to pick me up. Instead of making me feel better, the thought only made me even more upset. Five minutes. Five more minutes before I leave. I sighed and looked around. A few seconds later when I was about to check my watch--again-- I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder.

"Ya alright, Mel?" A peculiar blonde asked.

"Niall! It's been a while. How are you?" I asked, totally ignoring his question. Niall chuckled, "Ya need a ride home, Mel?" Before I could answer his warm hand enveloped mine as he took me deeper into the building. "No! It's alright, Niall, really! I was just about to call a taxi. You don't have to worry about me." I tried, but Niall just waved me off. We rounded a corner and I noticed four other familiar figures.

"Lads! You don't mind Mel riding with us, right?" Niall asked the rest of his band as I blushed furiously.

"Of course not! Melody, how are you?" Liam asked as he hugged me.

I met the boys of One Direction four months after getting signed. My manager told me that they would help me with song writing, along with other musicians. After a while I told the boys that I already had a few songs that I wrote over the years. We told my manager and from then on the boys have been looking over my songs and giving me pointers.

"I'm fine. How are you guys doing?" I asked. I didn't want to be in this situation. I mean, I love the boys like family, but the last thing that I expected was to see them all because my boyfriend forgot me. I mentally shook myself. Stop it, Melody! Your being selfish! Who cares if he forgot. You've had to rain check plenty of times because if recording. So I wouldn't be talking. I scolded myself. I noticed that Zayn was talking, but I couldn't focus.

"You alright?" Harry asked. I simply nodded and smiled. "Melody's probably tired. We should start getting home before it gets too late." Louis said. We all murmured our agreements and left. I tried my best to look excited, but I could tell that I wasn't fooling anyone.

"Are you sure your okay? Did something happen today?" Zayn asked, worry evident in his tone. I wanted to cry and tell them that, no, nothing was alright. I wanted them to soothe me and tell me that everything was going to be okay. But those were selfish and stupid thoughts. I wasn't going to cry just because someone forgot me. I was better than that! I wasn't going to be weak! So I smiled and said that I was okay. They didn't seem convinced. "Honestly, guys! Don't worry about me. I'm fine!" I reassured them. Niall seemed to be in thought while the others went back to their conversations. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Then why were ya outside all alone? You seemed to be waitin' for someone..." Niall stated, an eyebrow raised. My eyes widened as everyone looked at me. I swallowed. I was caught in my lie, and there was no way out.
