Kathleen's POV

They explained to me that Niall hasn't been with anybody for a long time and now, they thought that it was time for Niall to have a girlfriend, which is gonna be me. (But I'm a fake one.) Although there were a few girls who were rumored to be dating Niall.

"So how does this thing go again?" I asked. I couldn't quite cope with the things she said. Is this really happening?

"Well, first, you will sign a contract. The contract basically says that you will be Niall's girlfriend for a year. But you can't tell anyone. The media, your family," what?! I can't tell my own family?! What the heck. "Your friends, anyone. In return, we will pay you $1,500 a week. We will also provide clothes for you and Niall when you go to formal events and 'dates'" she used an air quote for the word 'dates' "and if you do something that breaks the contract, you will stop getting paid and we can and have the ability to sue you." Oh. "So, do we have a deal?

"Wait wait wait. Can you at least give me time to think?" I mean come on. When these kinds of opportunity arrive, you are never a hundred percent ready to accept it.

And also,

What?!

"Sure. Let us know by the end of the concert." Jane stated. Okay. I have an hour to think about this. "Niall can start-well pretend-to be in love with you and start dating you by then,"

"Pretend? He can't pretend to be in love with me, he's a singer, not an actor." I said. My voice raising without realization, causing her to glare at me. "Sorry, okay. I'll let you know at the end of the concert." I mumbled.

After that, She lead me to John and Liz who were talking about something. As I near them, they stood up. "What was that all about? Are you in trouble?" Liz asked.

"No. I am not in trouble."

"Then what was it?"

"They offered me my dream job." I stated.

That was really my dream job. I mean, I get to date Niall, get paid a high amount per week, and I get to have new clothes.

"What?"

"I-"

"Oh, never mind let's get back to our seats."

I couldn't focus on the concert because one question was bothering me and it stayed in my head: should I accept the offer? I mean if I didn't, I would be stupid. Like I said, it was my dream job. But if I did, I feel like I would be hurting Niall (in a way I guess) because the boy had no girlfriend for the past 3 years. And then suddenly a wild Kath appeared into his life and finally became his girlfriend. His fake girlfriend of course.

And I know the amount of hate their girlfriends get. And trust me the amount is ridiculous. I'd even hate them myself. But I'll eventually give in because it makes them happy. But I don't think this will make Niall or any of the lads happy.

After singing Best Song Ever, the boys thanked us for coming and for supporting, they'll see us next time, and goodnight.

I start to panic.

OH MY GOD WHY AM I PANICKING

Oh. Right.

SHOULD I ACCEPT IT OR NOT

HELP ME

We were led once again backstage, "God, Liam was so hot. Especially in that tank top! And his biceps! I can't-Kath help me!"

"I know, calm down." I chuckled. John couldn't help but laugh,

Anyways,

A buff man neared us-me, rather-then he asked me, "Are you Kathleen Rogers?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Come with me. Mrs. Bloomfield is looking for you."

The buff man whom I assumed was named Mark-I noticed his name tag pinned on his shirt-led me to the room Jane and I were in a while ago then knocked three times on the door.

Jane then opens the door, (after 4 seconds not that I'm counting) she thanked Mark and let me in.

"So, Kath, have you come up with a decision?"

"Y-yeah."

"Well?"

"I'll do it."

She smiled, "Great!" She took a manila folder from the coffee table and showed me the contract. "Now, I need you to sign this," she pointed to a blank at the end of the paper. Of course I read it first. What if it says in the contract that this is all fake? Or maybe a prank? The world may never know.

After reading and understanding the contract, I sign above the blank.

Jane shakes hands with me, It's kind of like she's saying "welcome to work" or something.

"Now, let's make this official."

*

"Kath and I are now dating." Niall announced.

THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY.

Well this is awkward.

The boys didn't look excited at all. They're like "Oh no. Not this shit again."

I feel really embarrassed for some reason. Why could not the earth open and swallow me up? Asdljhrp.

The boys were sitting on the couch while Niall and I were standing up. We just came back from the room Jane, Niall, and I discussed this 'business.'

I still can't believe that I'm Niall Horan's official fake girlfriend.
