Tori:

                Back at the hotel, I was changing into pajama bottoms and a tank top when my phone started ringing. On the caller ID was a name I haven’t seen in a while, yet I knew so well,

“Hi, Veronica” I said, pulling my tank top over my head, holding the receiver to my ear

“Did you know your face is plastered all over the tabloids!” she exclaimed

I couldn’t tell if she was happy or upset

“What do you mean?” I asked, already having a fair idea of what she was talking about

“Check your email” she said “I sent you digital scans of the articles

                I opened my laptop and logged into the hotel’s internet service. Logging into my email, I saw the latest one sent by Veronica,

“Alright, I got them” I said, opening the email “so, how are things back home?” I asked, opening the attached documents

                A blown up photo of Nathan and I walking down the street was the first thing I noticed. Then I realized it was a photo taken from yesterday. In the photo Nathan was carrying me on his back and I was caught pecking his cheek. We looked like any regular teenage couple, we looked happy, we looked…normal.

“Oh my…” I trailed off, stopping Veronica mid-sentence as I stared at the headline

“NATHTORIA SPOTTED AGAIN, LOOKING HAPPY AS EVER!!!

                As you can obviously see, Nathan, youngest member of British Band “The Wanted” and Victoria haven’t wasted any time getting cozy with each other in the UK. Rumors have flown that they’re dating, but after looking at this photo of these happy looking teens, how could either of them deny it. Victoria Fey, 18, traveled to London to compete in a dance competition with her partner, Tyson Morin, 19. While in London, Fey paid a visit to her dearest cousin, band mate to Nathan, Tom Parker, 24. It seems she’s gained more than a reunion with Tom.

                The lovely couple was first spotted leaving Fey’s hotel in “The Wanted’s” personal van. No word yet on how Tom feels about his young cousin dating Sykes, but by the looks of it, they don’t seem to care about the paparazzi. UK fans had spotted Nathan and they gushed ‘he was so sweet, he bought her coffee and everything!’

                Along with that, Fey has been spotted many times coming and going from Parker’s apartment, where Sykes also happens to live. To add to that, “The Wanted” van has been seen constantly dropping off Fey and Morin at a local UK dance studio where the pair are said to rehearse. What do you think, yes or no, to Nathtoria?”

“Yeah, and that’s just one…most of them are saying the same thing though, oh look at this dancer and her boy band member boyfriend, don’t they look happy, etc.” she said

“What, how many are there?” I asked

“I’ve seen like…five maybe” she said

“Do the guys know?” I asked

“Yeah, Ryan and Mason seemed alright with it, of course they barely know who Nathan Sykes is, but…you know Luke” she sighed

                Luke was like Tom, he would be the same way Tom was when he first found out. I would have to call my brothers and see how they really felt about it.

“How about mom and dad?” I asked nervously

“Dad’s too busy to realize it and….mom seems really happy” she said

“And you…?” I asked quietly

“Well, I’m pissed off that you didn’t tell your oldest sister that you were dating some British hottie…in a band” she snapped playfully “but I’m glad you’re with him…you two seemed happy in the picture” she said

“I am…thanks, V” I smiled

“Well, it’s probably late over there…so I’m gonna let you get some sleep…good luck on the finals!” she smiled

“Thanks, I’ll tell Ty you called, night V” I sighed happily

“Afternoon, Tor-bear” she replied before hanging up

                I now realized how much I really did miss my family. Veronica was the only person who knew every single thing about me; she knew things I’ve never told Tom, Ty, or even my parents. Mason may seem like a big, scary cop-in-training, but he’s really a big teddy bear. Luke is a bit darker, personality wise, but he means well. Ryan liked to have fun, he was all jokes allot of times. He was my go to when I needed a pick-me-up. Anna…sweet, small, sometimes annoying, little Anna. She’s my little sister I protect her like the rest of my siblings protect me. She’s nine and living it up in Miami, just like I did. She’s a huge One Direction fan, has the five boys plastered all over her walls in posters and print outs.

“Who was that?” Ty asked, jumping onto my bed

“Veronica, she says hi” I said

“Cool, how’s the wedding planning going?” he asked

“Good I guess, I didn’t ask her about it” I shrugged

“Well, hey, I’m gonna look over some of the recordings of the dancers we’re up against, see if they have any weak spots we could use against them” he said

“Sure, here, I want to help” I said, standing up

“Uh huh, Tori, you’re going to take your meds, wrap your ankle and go to bed” he commanded, giving me a serious look

“What” I groaned

“You need rest…the competition is in six days and we need to squeeze in a couple more rehearsals…I just need to keep an eye on the competition” he said, pulling me to sit on my bed

“I’m gonna get my laptop, when I come back, those pills better be swallowed and that ankle covered in a wrap and smelling like old lady” he said, getting up

I smirked, but rolled my eyes

                I did as he said, swallowing the pills and slowly applying Icy-Hot onto my ankle before wrapping it and taping it in place. I washed my hands and laid in bed, turning the lamp off and turning the TV up. Ty came back holding his laptop and took the empty spot next to me. I sighed and watched TV while Ty tapped away on his laptop, plugging in his headphones and watching countless videos of the other two dance couple’s routines.
