"HONK-HONK!" I heard and jumped at the noise

I rolled over and locked at my bedside clock.

Shit. 8:30. The interview is at 9:40.

"Ding-Ding!" I heard the doorbell ring through the house

Seriously!

I jumped up and ran down the stairs to the door, not releasing what I was wearing.

I went to open the door and looked down to only see underwear and a shirt.

I ran over to the couch grabbing a pillow and covering my front area. I swung the door open to have 5 boys looking at me questionably.

"Come sit" I said, gesturing them inside to the couch

"I didn't have my alarm set until 9:00, so I'll go hurry and get ready!" I said running up the stairs and not letting the boys get a word in

Niall's POV

"Come on!" Liam shouted at us as we piled into the van

"Nialler has to have his stupid food!" Zayn groaned

"It is not stupid!" I shouted, a mouth full off food

"Whatever just eat!" Harry screamed and slammed the van door shut

I sat and ate my food. We soon arrived to the familiar house of Aspens.

"Liam calm down, the interview isn't until 9:40" Zayn said as we got out

"I just don't want to be late" he sighed in frustration honking the horn

We walked up to her door, ringing the door bell 3 times.

The door swung open to reveal a messy haired Aspen. She had a shirt on and a pillow covered her lower area.

I looked at her with a weird expression.

"Come sit!" she said walking us to the couch, trying to cover herself

"I didn't have my alarm set until 9:00, so I'll go hurry and get ready" she said rushing up the stairs, we didn't get to say anything before she ran off

I walked around their living area looking at pictures.

On the mantle were 3 pictures.

The first one held a picture of her and her father on a tractor. She looked like a cute little kid. She had on overalls and a cap that was to big for her head.

The second had a picture of her blowing out candles on a cake. She was holding a puppy that looked like a hound. The cake held 6 candles, so I guess that was her sixth birthday.

I went to the last picture. It showed 2 little girls. I recognized one to be Aspen. I didn't know the other little girl. There was a writing below the picture on the frame.

"Forever and Always, we love you Dana" it had engraved to it

I looked back up at the 2 girls hugging each other dressed in mix-matched clothes while smiling. That was Dana.

"Doggy!" Louis yelled, breaking me from my thoughts

I looked over to the couch to see a big basest hound licking Louis's face. It was a bigger version of the puppy in the picture.

"Harley! Get off!" I heard a familiar voice shout

I saw Aspen coming down the stairs. She was dressed in a nice flowing blouse and jeans. She wore some brown sandals on her feet.

"No Harley stay!" Lou said wrapping his arms around the dog pulling it close

"Can we take Harley?" Zayn asked looking at Liam

"No Zayn, we can't take a dog to an interview" Liam said

"Ok guys, I'm ready!" Aspen said with a mouth full of food emerging from the kitchen

"Let's go!" Harry said taking the spot in the drivers seat

"Cal, down curly!" Louis said as we walked out of the door behind Harry

Aspen started to laugh at Lou's remark.

"Ladies first" I said opening the van door for Aspen

"Thank you kind sir" she said gracefully getting in

Once she was seating in the back the rest off us got into the van.

Aspen's POV

"Ladies first" Niall said opening the door for me

"Thanks you sir" I responded and slid to the back of the van.

I watched as everyone else go into the van. We started driving and soon left my familiar surrounding.

"How do you guys not feel nervous about interviews?" I said thinking back to the one I had yesterday

"We've been to so many and they ask the same questions everytime" Harry said

"Oh, duh!" I said face palming myself

"Haha. Don't feel stupid" Zayn said laughing and patting my back

"I won't feel stupid as long as y'all don't put me on the spot or put me in the interview" I joked

"We will try are best not to do that, but you never know" Louis winked

Niall's POV

My phone buzzed in my pocket, and made a tweeting noise while we were all joking and laughing. I opened my phone up to my twitter notifications.

"@Horanhater You wont live to see tomorrow @NiallOfficial"

I guess I'm used to this. I get hate all the time. Not everyone loves One Direction, or me in particular.

I just ignored the uneasy tweet and slid my phone back into my pocket.

I soon heard the screams of many girls. I looked out the window to see we were arriving at the studio where the interview is being held.

"Holy shit" Aspen muttered

Harry laughed at her comment

"I guess I should get used to this" she sighed

We all gave her weak smiles.

"Yes..." Liam said

Harry parked the car and guards surrounded it.

"Just hold onto me" I told Aspen

"Ok" she said and I pulled her out of the van

We were bombarded with flashing cameras and screaming girls

I pulled Aspen behind me, I couldn't here a thing she was saying.

I turned back to try and understand her, but gave up.

I turned my head forward to continue walking, but got stopped.

A girl fell on top of me, making me fall.

I turned around to see Aspen laying on the ground with blood pouring from her.

Her eyes started to flutter shut.

"Aspen!" I screamed and kneeled next to her, tears brimming my eyes

The boys kept walking.

I threw Aspens arms around my neck and lifted her up.

I ran through the crowd that became blurry because of my tears.

I ran past the guards and into the van.

I quickly called for an ambulance.

"Niall you can't go!" Ron called after me

"I have to!" I yelled and jumped into the back of the ambulance with Aspen
