Rise to Fame (A One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 18

"You've been spending too much time with Zayn, Skylar." Louis told me.

Lemme explain the situation:

Niall, Harry, and Louis were sitting on the couches and I was on the floor drawing.

Zayn walked in and said, "Liam is having a pretty rough day. He usually never lets the hate on Twitter get to him. He is the one that is always here for us, but....that's not the case today."

I looked up from my drawing and said, "This is good for him!" The boys looked at me like I was crazy or something before Harry asked me why. "Because if you don't have ups and downs in your life, then you must be dead!"

It was quiet for a while before Zayn did this thing where he nodded while smiling, but walked away at the same time. I guessed that was his way of agreeing? So once Zayn left, I went back to my drawing and Louis told me I've been spending too much time with Zayn.

"Yeah, that was a pretty deep thing to say. I mean- we don't expect normal people to say that, but I'm impressed!" Niall agreed.

I smiled to myself and continued drawing until Liam walked in with a tear-stained face. I felt terrible.

"Skylar," Zayn started. "I told Liam what you said and it made him feel so much better! He actually smiled!" That made everybody laugh.

At our next performance, the boys did something TOTALLY unexpected...for everybody. I didn't know about it, the band didn't know about it, Paul didn't even know about it! In the middle of their song Better Than Words, Zayn busted out a rap. It was actually pretty cool! The band ended up stopping, except for Josh. He kept the beat for Zayn after he figured out what was happening.

I was watching from backstage when Paul ran up to me. "Did you know about this?"

I shook my head. "Nobody did, not even the band."

He was quiet for a minute before having a laughing fit. When something is really funny to him, he doesn't have a quiet laugh. I mean it was so loud that Lou came out of the dressing room just to see what happened.

"We were watching the boys perform on the telly in there, and we hear this loud noise. None of us knew what it was until we see this!" She said.

The boys got an earful that night from Paul. "You can't just change a song that we have been working on for months and not tell anybody! I had absolutely no idea that you were going to do that! What if Zayn was the only one who remembered to do that? The other boys would still be singing while Zayn does a rap, and that would end up with both of you guys stopping because nobody knows what is going on. That means stopping in the middle of a song! Nobody stops in the middle of a song because they messed up. Now if you think that little lecture is over, you are SO wrong because I have one more thing to say...." The boys looked sorry. "Since it worked out, I thought it was hilarious! I asked Skylar what was going on, but she told me that nobody knew. At first I was upset, but I was listening to you for a minute and I thought it was kind of funny! You guys need to talk to the band to, one: apologize, and two: make sure they know if you are going to continue doing this rap, so they know whether or not to keep playing or if they need to stop and just have the drums playing. Am I clear?" The boys all nodded and went to go talk to the band. Paul looked at me and shook his head. "These boys drive me crazy sometimes."

I laughed and went to go get ready for bed.
