30 - Tonight on Conan

really quick, dedicated to my friend who is writing a new story called 'Endgame'. It's pretty good, although admittedly creepy at some points. CHECK IT OUT! LOVE YOU BAE! PrincessPancakes050

Louis' POV

"Our next guest on the show is a band that is taking the world by storm, over and over again. Welcome, One Direction!"

The crowd roars as we walk on the stage of Conan, waving and smiling politely. Although I'm excited for the interview, I can't help but feel down. The lads are still somewhat upset that I have yet to explain to them what happened when we left, and that makes me miss Avery more than ever.

Still, I smile and sit down on the couch next to the boys so that I'm sat directly next to Conan.

The crowd dies down a bit and Conan begins his questions.

"So, boys, how has the tour been going so far?"

"Good," Harry speaks up from beside me. "We've really been enjoying ourselves and, you know, it's only the beginning, so we have a long way to go, and yeah. We are excited."

"So you guys have been in California for... a week or so now?" Conan asks curiously.

"Yeah, we have been staying with a friend that lives in the area and they have been showing us around," Liam says.

"Oh really? Who is this 'friend'?" he asks with exaggerated quotations. The lads all laugh and I do my best to appear nonchalant about joining.

"No, really. They're a good friend of our's family," Niall corrects. "We've been having a blast with them, though. They are some funny company."

"So what have you been doing in our gorgeous golden state?"

"Well, like we said, the people we have been staying with have been showing us around," Zayn says. "One of them is rather young so we have been able to chill out and have fun, so it's been nice. We actually went to Disneyland the other day and had a blast. So, yeah, we've been enjoying it."

"That's great. Okay, so..." he drawls out, dramatically building up to a question he seems to be very excited about, which makes me nervous. "Who's single?"

Crap.

I swallow the lump in my throat and raise my hand, tentatively. I look over at the rest of the boys, hoping for some moral support in their eyes. Instead their gazes are all directed at Harry; the only one of us who kept his hands in his lap.

"So Harry?! Direction's very own flirt has settled down? Who is this girl? She must really be something to be able to take you off the market."

Harry's cheeks flush and he looks down at his twiddling hands in lap. I'm just as curious as Conan to who this mystery girl is, and his silence is beginning to make me anxious.

"Well," he slowly begins. "She is a great girl, and I really like her. Unfortunately she is back in London, so I will be away from her for a bit on the American Tour, but we have planned for her to come visit soon so, ya know, we are making it work."

"Well, come on, what's her name?"

Harry looks around at us with a huge grin on his face.

"Her name is Hailee."

That's when I begin physically choking on air.

I keep coughing as the lads try to come me down. One of the gals from back stage comes out with a glass of water for me. I quickly drink the liquid and thank her before sitting up with my elbows on my knees.
