The Children of One Direction - A One Direction Reunion Fan Fiction

News and Rehearsals

--News and Rehearsals--

*Ally's POV*

As I walk into school I noticed an unfamiliar buzz in the hallways. Everyone's talking about the special guest that Ms. Jones is having in class tomorrow for our performances for our group projects tomorrow. But I don't understand why the whole school is talking about it. It's not like they're in my class or anything.

"Where have you been? We have been trying to text and call you for the past half an hour." Marissa asked me as I approached my locker.

"Okay, first of all, you know I don't check in the morning because I am busy getting ready for school and trying to make my dad breakfast. Second of all, my dad was refusing to eat this morning so I was running late. You're lucky I made it here before first period." I said, a bit cranky for my stressed morning that I was having.

"Okay, well we forgot because of the news we just heard." Taylor said excitedly, ignoring my last comment.

"What news did you hear?" I said. I knew that if I continued being cranky that they were just going to keep ignoring my tone, so why not give up while I'm ahead.

"We heard that Miss Jones is have a celebrity guest as her special guest for tomorrow's group performances." Emma said excitedly, basically jumping up and down.

"Wait, what do you mean celebrity guest as her special guest? Do you know who it is?" I asked in complete shock, ignoring my previous mood.

"No, people have been going in and out of her classroom trying to get her to say, but she keeps telling everyone that it's a surprise." Darcy explained.

"Well if its a celebrity guest, then maybe this is our one shot on getting signed." I said excitedly.

"What do you mean our one shot, this our first shot that we've had since freshman year." Marissa asked in confusion.

"Oh, you know what I mean." I replied.

And just like that, the first period bell rang.

"Why don't we meet after school to rehearse?" Taylor suggested.

"Yeah, that sound's good. I just need to make a quick pit stop home to make sure my dad ate and then I'll meet you guys at our normal meeting place." I told them.

"Sounds good." They all said in unison before we all separated to go to our first period class.

*After school*

As I watch dad slowly eat his peanut butter and jelly sandwich I  made him as a snack when I got home, I am silently hoping that he eats a little faster. Luckily he just took his last bit. He put his plate down on the nightstand next to his bed and laid back down, where he would stay there, staring off into space. Sadly I can't stay with him. The girls and I going to be rehearsing for our performance tomorrow. Apparently there is going to be a celebrity guest in class tomorrow and we need to be ready for anything.

Once I put dad's plate in the sink, I grabbed my bag and drove off to Emma's cousins house. It's the only place where we could go where our parents wouldn't know our secret.

*At rehearsals*

"That honestly sounds amazing." Emma's cousin, Theo said as we finished the song.

He is the only one, besides his parents of course, who know our dream. They are surprisingly supportive of it. Emma's uncle promised he wouldn't tell Niall when he goes to sit in his room. Emma's uncle comes over everyday and sits with Niall for a couple of hours so he feels like he's not alone.

"Are you sure? I think we could have done better." Emma said nervously.

"Emma, there is no way you guys could have done better. You guys nailed it." Theo told his cousin.

"How about we go through it one more time?" Emma said nervously.

Emma gets like the night before every performance. She always works herself up, only to be brought back down my us girls and the occasional Theo.

"If we run through it anymore then we won't have any voices for tomorrow and we definitely won't get noticed by the celebrity guest." I explained to her.

"Are you sure you guys don't want to go through it just one mo-" She started to say but was cut off by the four of us.

"No!" We all said in unison.

"Fine." She mumbled.

After a few moments of silence, Emma's Uncle Greg came down to the basement. (We rehearse down there so Theo's parents don't get disturbed by the noise.)

"Theo and Emma go wash up for dinner." Greg said to his son and niece.

They nodded and made their way up to wash up for dinner.

"Do you girls want to stay for dinner? We made your favorite." Greg asked.

We all looked at each other.

"Sure." We all said in unison.

"As long as I get to take some left overs for my dad." I added.

"Of course. Go wash up." Greg said and we all rushed upstairs to wash up.

Greg and his family have always treated us like family ever since freshman year. Ever since he learned of our fathers situation, he always invites us over whenever Emma is going over, so we have a home cooked meal or just to spend time with some family. Emma is really grateful to have her uncle and his family there. It has really been hard for her since everything that happened. I know she wants her father to be proud of her accomplishments, but at least she has her uncle and his family to share those with. I haven't heard from my family since I started taking care of my father. She is lucky to have people to care about her the way that they do. I wish I had that in my life.
