"So Dakota, tell us about yourself." Niall puts on his interviewer face and holds up his hand like he's holding a microphone.

"There's not much to tell..." I say seriously.

"Then it shouldn't take too long! Spill" Harry says leaning towards me from the back seat.

"Well, let me just start by saying, I am not your average girl and my story is not a happy one. I am just a nobody from a farm in California going to a lame college full of bitches and sluts. I did not have many friends which is partly why I drifted to loving you all as a young girl. You were the people I wanted to be with. I only had one true friend and his name is Hunter Blake. We are closer than two peas in a pod and I miss him more than I miss my own family. My family, well my parents are very over protective and they did not even approve this job for me. Valorie was the one who helped me start my life over here with you all! That's pretty much it... not very interesting."

"You left your family without saying goodbye? That's awful" Zayn says giving me a very concerning face.

"Well I went home after I got the job to tell them the good news. But they were not happy at all, and I was very angry at their negative reactions. So I just kinda left right then, but I sent an email this morning clarifying things so hopefully they aren't as mad as before." I shrug and look out the window at the beautiful city. "My farm land was beautiful, but I like the city more and more the longer I am here. This is the place I want to be. The place I need to be."

"That was deep" Liam says. "I'm glad you ditched your hometown for us though. I feel like you are meant to be here with us. It's definitely fate."

"Liam's right, from the first time I saw you I knew there was something special about you I just couldn't figure it out..." Niall smiles showing his beautiful teeth.

"You're our family now" Harry says grabbing my hand looking right into my eyes. After a long silence Louis finally speaks.

"How much do you wanna bet Kota is using all her energy to not grab Harry right now?"

"I'd bet a billion euros!" I yell laughing as Harry releases my hand and the other boys join in with the laughter.

"We're here!" Zayn says looking out the window. We pull up to a huge stadium. I've never been to a football stadium but I'd be willing to bet it's not as big as this one.

"Holy cow! This place is huge! And this is only the outside of it!" I yell rolling down the window to stick my head out.

"Dakota!" I hear someone yell in the distance. It's Beckett.

"Beckett! Hey! This place is giant, can you believe it?" I ask as he gets closer and his beautiful eyes come into focus.

"I know it's crazy! Hey lads!" He says looking past me to inside the van.

"Hey Beckett" they all say in unison. Then Niall speaks, "Dakota do you want to open the door so we can all come out? Thanks love!"

"Oh sorry! Yeah hold on" I say pulling my head back inside and as I do I manage to hit my head on the door frame.

"Are you okay?" Beckett and Zayn say together sounding a bit panicked.

"Yeah I'm fine..." Beckett politely opens the door for me smiles. Never in a million years will that smile get old...

"Alright boys! Time to get warmed up! Head inside while I'm gonna have a talk with Dakota!" I don't know where from, but Valorie magically appears and all the boys moan. "Ah Beckett, just the lad I was looking for! Have you met Dakota yet?"
